Decisions to engage in entrepreneurship are affected by role models and the examples they provide. This study seeks to deepen the insights of this relation, by testing the influence of a motivational fit between entrepreneurial role models (ERMs) and aspiring entrepreneurs on entrepreneurial intentions. The study deployed a vignette experiment, in which 71 European entrepreneurship students partic
Swedish legislation states conjunction between age and maturity and children’s right to participate in child protection cases. However, there are no age limitations for participation and neither do the legal sources provide distinctive support in professional assessment of sufficient maturity. The aim is to examine how the significance of children’s age and maturity is described in knowledge suppo

This study also includes analysis about how social workers can help those individuals. The method of this study was a qualitative interview analysis of 8 former Je
Metoden som har använts i studien har varit kvalitativ forskningsmetod i form av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Totalt har tretton domar studerats på grund av svårigheter i urvalet från fyra olika förvaltningsrätter. Jag har analyserat empiri utifrån ett genusperspektiv för att kunna urskilja om skillnader görs i bedömningar vad gäller flickor och pojkars sociala problematik. Studien visar attThe aim of this study was to analyze how the social problems that form the basis for the care of boys and girls are described in judgments according to § 3 LVU (Care of young persons special provisions act) from Yvonne Hirdmans genderperspective. Therefore I have studied 13 cases of §3 LVU to see how girls 'and boys' social problems are described and whether there are any similarities
Time series classification is a prevalent problem for sensor data in an industrial setting. The ability to classify time series correctly allows for predictive maintenance which is the process of optimally maintaining assets and ensuring minimal ”down-time” of machines or processes. A requirement for classifying the time series are labeled time series that can be used as training instances. Labell
Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa är ett globalt folkhälsoproblem som fortsätter att öka. Arbetsterapeuter inom psykiatrin använder kreativa aktiviteter som intervention då det har visat sig främja rehabiliteringsprocessen för personer med psykisk ohälsa Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva patienters erfarenheter och upplevda betydelse av kreativa aktiviteter som arbetsterapeutisk intervention gällande vuxna per
Beslutsfattande har en avgörande roll i verksamheters framgång och fall. Det som särskiljer de två utfallen är ofta tillgången till rätt information något som verksamheterna kan få tag på genom att använda sig av Big Data. Denna data karaktäriseras dock av ett antal V faktorer som gör den svårhanterlig och därför behöver hanteras med Big Data Analytics (BDA). Vilket omfattar de arbetssätt och tekn
The social work field, like several others, has been forced to readjust in adapting to the prevailing restrictions with Covid-19. The assessment instrument Addiction Severity Index provides an overview of problems related to alcohol and drug use. This instrument has, considering the circumstances, been performed over the telephone instead of in person. The aim of this study was to examine social w

Denna uppsats undersöker informationsasymmetri på den svenska bilförsäkringsmarknaden. Genom att använda kunddata från Länsförsäkringar Upp- sala analyserar studien korrelationen mellan täckning och risk. Två logit- modeller estimerar effekten av att en ökad grad av försäkring leder till större sannolikhet för skadeanmälan. Tillsammans med dessa estimeringar kontrollerar vi för att olika försäkrin
Avsmak i fisk odlad i recirkulerande akvatiska system (RAS) är en problematik som har påverkat fiskodlare runt hela världen. Företaget Gårdsfisk upplever sensoriska skillnader i produktionen mellan deras två anläggningar. Samtidigt vill de kunna kontrollera de sensoriska skillnaderna mellan dagar då fisken spenderar i reningsbassäng. Detta är anledningen till att företaget Gårdsfisk bad om att få
Cancer is a widespread and commonly fatal disease in constant need of new treatments. Traditionally, new pharmaceuticals have been tested in 2D models. This is not ideal, as 2D environments do not reflect the in vivo milieu of the cells. Instead, it has been increasingly suggested to implement 3D models, which are thought to be more predictive of in vivo responses to treatment. It has been shown t
Within the start-up ecosystem, young and small firms often face a significant challenge by acquiring external capital, the so-called funding gap. A trend throughout the recent years was, (and still is), the geographical clustering of financial institutions and investors in financial concentrated areas, which are referred to as financial centers. Those areas create huge disparities between differen
Morality and morally charged decision-making is a fundamental part of work conducted in any human service organization. Social workers employed in these organizations are tasked with evaluating whether their clients are eligible for social assistance. This evaluation process is tied to the client’s moral behavior, social condition and economic situation. While the laws and guidelines regulating th
This thesis is done in collaboration with Nordea Corporate Finance. It was borne out of the need to examine the effect single sourcing acquisition deals has on value creation for acquiring shareholders. A short-term event study methodology with varying event windows was employed to empirically test this effect. The sample is made up of 69 M&A deals involving non-financial firms listed on Nasda
Following the increasing number of climatic shocks and disasters, the poor and most vulnerable are disproportionately affected as their already exposed situation becomes further worsened. The gendered impacts of climate disasters have demonstrated how women and girls vulnerable position is exacerbated in relation to existing socio-cultural norms and inequalities, making them one of the most vulner
Biopolymers are being considered as a promising alternative to fossil-based polymers and this inclination towards biopolymers is due to their lower environmental impact owing to their origin from renewable resources. The environmental impact assessment, however, often does not consider the impact of barrier properties of polymers and the resulting differences in food waste generated in the supply
