Det blir idag alltmer vanligt att stöta på gamification och spelelement i den digitala arbetsmiljön. Tidigare forskning har undersökt gamification inom organisationer, men brister i att undersöka hur användningen av dessa spelelement påverkar anställdas engagemang. Denna studie syftar till att bidra till den begränsade kunskapen kring hur spelelement inom digitala ar-betsplattformar påverkar anstä
Bakgrund: Bland hormonell antikonception finns det flera olika alternativ och kvinnors syn på dessa har utforskats grundligt. Däremot saknas det studier kring barnmorskans perspektiv trots att majoriteten av preventivmedel i Sverige förskrivs av barnmorskor. Syfte: Att belysa barnmorskors inställning till och förståelse av hormonell antikonception i samband med preventivmedelsrådgivning. Metod:
Denna studie undersöker hur digitala betalningslösningars design och användarupplevelse påverkar unga konsumenters beteenden och beslutsfattande vid onlineköp. Genom att integrera teoretiska ramverk från Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) med andra faktorer från Service Quality (SQ) samt Human Computer-Interaction (HCI) undersöker studien hur dessa modeller kan tillämpas
This paper examines the performance of traditional statistical models (SARIMA & SARIMAX) and modern machine learning models (XGBoost) for forecasting Swedish public sector food prices organized by a hierarchical index structure. The depth of the analysis is made possible by collaborating with Matilda Foodtech, who gave access to anonymized food procurement data from Swedish public organization
The conflict about the century-old car beach in Laholm, Halland, has been a contentious issue and subject to debate for 70 years. Despite the recent decision for its closure, the matter has been contested over 350 times, which poses a significant challenge for the municipality. Applying Mitchell’s (2008) six axioms for landscape reading, the research explores how the public perceives the car beach
The increasing availability of satellite images with seemingly ever increasing spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution is a treasure when searching for information about activity on the surface of the earth. However, the large amount of data is challenging for humans to search through. Anomaly detection in time series of satellite images could potentially help humans to search specific areas fo

This thesis addresses the research problem of the importance for contextualized understanding of diversity's impact on organizational performance, particularly within top management teams (TMTs) during mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities. Focusing on publicly traded companies in the technology and financial services sectors in the United States, the research aims to investigate how T
This paper examines the economic impact of the 2016 Brexit referendum on the United Kingdom’s economy, focusing on indicators such as real GDP per capita growth and exports. Employing the Synthetic Difference-in-Differences estimation method, we construct a synthetic control unit which allows for an estimation of the treatment effect of the referendum. Our analysis reveals declining trends in real

In response to a period of low inflation and near-zero interest rates, the Swedish central bank initiated Quantitative Easing (QE) in 2015. While the impact of QE on bank lending has been studied in the US and UK, its effects in Sweden remains under-researched. We study the effects of QE on residential bank lending in Sweden through the liquidity, bank lending and bank capital channels. Using a on
The deprecation of third-party cookies poses significant challenges for Swedish retailers, as explored in this study, focusing on their readiness and strategic responses. With upcoming browser limitations and strict privacy regulations like GDPR, retailers are compelled to navigate the transition towards a cookieless digital future. Using semi-structured interviews, this qualitative research gathe
Embracing the concept of reusing waste materials, my project transforms discarded oyster shells into a versatile building material. The outcome is more than just a product; it’s a symbol of sustainable innovation. Utilizing discarded oyster shells, the project seeks to create functional and aesthetically pleasing items. My goal with this project was to create a material solely from natural substa
According to optimal resource allocation theory, reproductive investment is determined by the trade-off between present and future reproduction and offspring quality and quantity. The immune system, including innate immune function, protects the body against disease-related mortality. As such, it can be representative of the bird´s survival prospects, and has the potential to influence the outcome
As the climate changes the risks to agriculture increases which is a threat to food security around the world. One such risk is an increase in rainfall which can lead to decreased crop yields. Sweden today is dependent on other countries for their food supply, however the countries it depends on will suffer more from climate related risks to their agriculture meaning that Sweden's own food pro
This thesis analyzes schoolchildren’s mental health development in five mental health-related variables when they gain internet access through 3G networks. A unique panel dataset using the HBSC with country-level 3G coverage is constructed. Using a TWFE strategy to estimate the effect on the five outcome variables, a decrease in mental health is found for both female and male children. The results
This study investigated the limitations and possible introduction of missing pillars in the current ESG framework, wherein a richer definition and exploration towards holistic sustainability was a key aim. Through an exploratory approach using the Gioia Methodology, six startups were interviewed, intended to present current lessons and challenges of integrating the ESG dimensions. All companies be
The global need to take urgent action to address climate change presents the German automotive industry with its biggest transformation in history. While environmental targets are being set, the importance of leadership in the transformation process has so far received little attention. Using a Causal Model of Organizational Performance and Change, and the Transformational Leadership framework, th
In 2023, seven major property owners in Malmö attempted to raise rents a second time, after annual rents for the city’s tenants had already been finalized. In doing so, landlords broke with historical precedent, by coordinating efforts to bypass the rent negotiation process with the powerful Swedish Union of Tenants (SUT). The Swedish rent negotiation model, a product of militant organizing by the
