The credit spread puzzle has long been a well-researched topic within the literature of fixed income securities, focusing on the factors contributing to credit risk to explain credit spreads. This study provides a new perspective on the subject by specifically examining corporate bonds issued by Swedish real estate companies during the years 2019 to 2023. It is investigated whether explanatory var
Denna uppsats analyserar hur nyliberal logik reflekteras och reproduceras av både Lunds äldre och Lunds kommunala träffpunkter för seniorer, samt vilka konsekvenser detta kan innebära. Resultatet demonstrerar tecken på konstruktionen av en “nyliberal senior”, som prioriterar fysiskt och mentalt välmående, produktivitet, individuellt ansvar, och socialisering; med uppfattningen att man således både
The purpose of this study has been to examine how family counselors with a social work degree perceive their role within the inpatient care of child - and adolescent psychiatry. The empirical data consisted of interviews with six family counselors, all of whom are social workers and work in inpatient care. The study is based on a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, where the inter
Research background and purpose: Amidst turbulences, there is an increasing recognition of capabilities factors in driving SMEs’ resilience. Besides, turbulences have casued difficulties for SMEs in sustaining their social sustainable practices, resulting in adverse effects on employees and society at large. Thus, SMEs need to leverage their capabilities to enhance their resilience and contribute
Neutrons have a magnetic moment that interacts with magnetic fields. This has been put to use to study magnetic materials. Polarised neutron imaging (PNI) is one such application that allows the observation of, for instance, magnetic domains and domain walls inside a sample. To facilitate a PNI experiment, the neutron beam from a neutron source needs to be polarised, meaning that the magnetic mome
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving and demonstrating potential for climate change adaptation in urban planning, including urban stormwater management. Through the case study of InflowGo, an AI-based stormwater model, this research identifies and appraises potential opportunities and challenges that such a tool can provide for decision-making in urban stormwater management. By the mea
This master’s thesis is written for Tetra Pak with the aim to investigate if pitting corrosion inhibition can be detected for Stainless Steel 316L in contact with dairy products in an experimental setup. The aim was also to continue developing a corrosion test method to facilitate for material selection of food pro- cessing equipment in order to reduce the extent of detrimental pitting corrosion.
Detection of tool wear is critical in optimizing tool change strategies and cutting parameter selection to influence productivity, cost, and quality in metal cutting. Nonetheless, current practices for tool wear detection majorly depend on manual, inconsistent, and time-consuming visual inspection by operators. Tool wear detection has the potential to greatly benefit from recent advances in artifi
Denna studie syftade till att undersöka relationen mellan attityder gentemot drogmissbrukare och två potentiella prediktorer; belief in a just world och ålder (n =116). För att genomföra studien användes en digital enkät som inkluderade demografiska frågor samt två befintliga skalor avsedda att mäta respondenternas attityder gentemot drogmissbrukare och värdering av belief in a just world. DataanaThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between attitudes towards drug addicts and two potential predictors; belief in a just world and age (n =116). To conduct the study, a digital survey was used, which included demographic questions and two existing scales intended to measure respondents' attitudes towards drug addicts as well as their Belief in a Just World. Data analysis was perf
Accurate measurement of human gait parameters is crucial for understanding movement patterns, diagnosing musculoskeletal disorders, and evaluating intervention effectiveness. Force plates have traditionally been the gold standard when measuring ground reaction forces and moments during a recording in gait analysis. Recently, pressure mats have emerged as an alternative, offering portability and ve
Denna studie tar avstamp i den tudelade akademiska debatten kring vilka potentialer och fallgropar det finns för tillfällig användning av stadens mellanrum, och har syftat till att undersöka hur Institut for (x) har lyckats upprätthålla sin tillfälliga användning av Godsbanearealerne i Aarhus över en längre tidsperiod. Genom intervjuer med representanter för Institut for (x) och Aarhus kommun, harAgainst the backdrop of a divided academic debate on the potentials and pitfalls for temporary use of urban space, this essay aims to explore how Institut for (x) as a temporary use project has been able to maintain their use of Godsbanearealerne in Aarhus over a longer period of time. This has been done through interviews with representatives of Institut for (x) and Aarhus municipality, where the
The purpose of the study was to gain a better understanding of informal leadership on the flight deck and how leadership can be effectively practiced by a first officer from the right seat, with the intention to strengthen team performance. The research question tried to answer if informal leadership is present on the flight deck and what factors contribute to the first officer’s ability to influe
Uppsatsen är en narrativanalys som undersöker ur ett postkolonialt perspektiv Förenta Nationernas (FN) aktörskap i kriser, specifikt epidemier som inte orsakats av särskilda aktörer. Epidemierna som analyseras är aidskrisen (1981-1990) och ebolakrisen (2013-2016) med ursprung i Afrika. Inom den internationella politiska sfären är FN en stor aktör. Det är en av modern tids viktigaste samlingsplatse
A study has been created to develop a method quantifying the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) nicotine in tablets with near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy using chemometrics. The current technique, liquid chromatography (UHPLC), used to determine the nicotine content in tablets is time consuming and require sample preparation. NIR spectroscopy is non-destructive and the implementation of NIR sp
Bakgrund: Sexuell hälsa och sexualitet är en del av människans vardagsliv och viktigt att lyfta inom psykiatrin då psykiska sjukdomar och ohälsa kan påverka klientens sexualitet och relationer negativt. Syfte: Att undersöka hur yrkesverksamma arbetsterapeuter förhåller sig till sexuell hälsa och sexualitet i arbetet med vuxna klienter inom psykiatrin. Metod: En kvalitativ studie baserad på nio iBackground: Sexual health and sexuality are part of everyday life. In mental health services it is an important topic to address since mental illness can negatively impact the client’s sexuality and relationships. Aim: To explore occupational therapist’s approach to sexual health and sexuality in their work in mental health services with adults. Method: A qualitative study based on nine interview
In this study, over 2000 Milky Way stars were analyzed in the [Mg/Mn] vs [Al/Fe] chemical plane to identify accreted stars. The Milky Way's faster star formation enriches disk stars with iron-peak elements such as Mn and reduces alpha elements like Mg. Accreted stars, originating from slower star formation rate environments, exhibit lower metallicities, reflected in lower [Al/Fe]. The study ev
In an era dominated by digital interfaces, our desire to reintegrate tactile and physical elements into our daily interactions has intensified. By acknowledging the resurgence of vinyl records and the persistent rise of physical music formats, our project seeks to recapture the ritual of music listening that has been lost in the digital age. Our design reflects a conscious effort to create a funct
To meet 2030 climate goals, industries and governments are adopting circular economy principles to mitigate the building industry's environmental impact through reusing, recovering, and recycling. This report incorporates circularity by examining the adaptive reuse of HVAC components in a case study in Malmö, Sweden. Firstly, the report determined which elements of an HVAC system had the highe
This thesis deals with the characterization of the approved inner tracker upgrade of the ALICE experiment involving an innovative and ultra-thin silicon detector with a cylindrical geometry. During this thesis work, Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) were studied for the first large-scale prototype of the upgrade, together with a sensor of the same technology with smaller size. Properties of t
