Whilst obtaining funding for a venture is already a difficult task for male founders (Steigertahl & Mauer, 2018) only 2.3% of funding in venture capital goes toward female entrepreneurs (Bittner and Lau, 2021). This funding gap between male and female entrepreneurs is noticeable in different aspec
Den här uppsatsen undersöker förhållandet mellan internationella finansiella institutioner, mänskliga rättigheter och miljö. I kampen mot klimatförändringar har hållbar finansiering lyfts fram som en åtgärd för att stödja skiftet till en hållbar ekonomi. Internationella finansiella institutioner är centrala aktörer i omväxlingen mot en hållbar ekonomi och utgör de främsta tillhandahållarna av offeThis thesis examines the relationship between international finance and environmental rights, and how the concept of sustainable finance has emerged as a response to climate change and the rapid transition towards a sustainable economy. Multilateral development banks (MDBs) are a key player in the transition to a green economy, contributing to 68% of global climate finance. Thus, MBDs are the majo

Despite the dramatic growth of demand for CSR, some researchers still criticize that it is a waste of money. However, other researchers see CSR as an opportunity and advantage to become more profitable and create a better reputation, etc. In this work, the researcher explores the driving f
Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between inequality and growth through the lens of women’s financial inclusion in Sub-Sharan Africa for the period 2004-2020.

The results show that bot
In many post-industrial cities, the relationship between water and the city has changed over the years. Our needs are different now, and because of that, the character and usage of these locations have changed with time. From areas with production power and industrial growth, to sources of social hubs, leisure, and outdoor activities. All of these cities have the same challenge in common, to becom
Objectives: Wildlife in Kenya, much like globally, is under significant pressure. In Kenya alone, there has been a 60 percent decrease in species and the remaining wildlife is faced with habitat loss and climate change, among others. The study of conservation practices - responding to the many challenges underlying the “sixth mass extinction” - has never been more relevant. All the more so is the

Entrepreneurs have certain personality traits that are evaluated by venture capitalists (VCs) when making their investment decision, which have been studied in literature. However, personality traits in ecopreneurs, or sustainable entrepreneurs, that may impact the investment decision of a sustainable venture capitalist (SVC) are not known to have been studied, and therefore warrant research oppor
Den här kvalitativa studien syftade till att undersöka hur ungdomar beskriver begreppet välmående, hur de beskriver sin självkänsla och sina egna och andras krav har för betydelse för välmående samt hur olika aktiviteter och miljöer spelar roll för välmående, enligt de själva. För att undersöka detta intervjuades åtta förstaårs gymnasieelever. Intervjuerna transkriberades och analyserades med tema
The Sahel has emerged as a global hotspot for terrorist activity during the first decades of the 21st century. Few empirical studies have been carried out to investigate the causes of this phenomenon. The overarching literature on the determinants of terrorism has also failed to establish conclusive mechanisms and channels of causation. Studies have found economic shocks to increase the likelihood
Lava-Java är ett projekt som tagit avstamp i arkitekturtävlingen Iceland Volcano Coffee Shop arrangerad av Buildner, tidigare Bee Breeders. Tävlingen gick ut på att rita ett café i kombination med ett besökscenter på vulkanen Hverfjall på norra Island. I det här examensarbetet har dock det föreslagna programmet ändrats om för att låta det lilla besökscentret bli ett fullvärdigt naturum. Vulkanen
As cities keep densifying, essential resources such as daylight access become increasingly restricted. Therefore, prioritizing energy efficiency and enhancing the energy performance of our buildings is required for obtaining a sustainable urban environment. The challenges of implementing these ideas have triggered efforts to make cities smarter, for example, by using 3D city models for solar energ
This thesis is a historical comparative analysis of the social and environmental impacts of past colonial exploitation and the modern corporate extraction and exploitation of natural resources and commodities. The thesis examines these issues through the case studies of sugar monoculture in the Northeast region of colonial Brazil (16th and 17th Century) and the sinking of Maceió (also in Northeast
Streaming video over the internet can face issues when met with poor and varying network conditions, which can be especially noticeable when streaming live video such as security footage or video calling. To handle this, there exists congestion control algorithms that monitor network conditions based on feedback from the receiver and adapt the video output. This thesis aims to implement and compar

Rheology is a science studying the flow, deformation and fracturing of a material. For a general understanding, this science is utilised to predict how a certain material will behave under certain conditions; in other words, the aim is the characterization of a material. (Wahlkrantz, 2020) This characterization is used to describe the elastic behaviour and the flow behaviour of a material. The ela
Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer detected in women. Its heterogeneity and large mutational landscape requires treatment strategies which varies between patients. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive subtype which 12-17 \% of breast cancer patient develop. It has no specific treatment and patients with TNBC generally has worse outcomes. To gain mo
Städer har historiskt sett utgjort den centrala delen för politiska beslut, ekonomisk tillväxt och bidragit till revolutionerande forskning. På senare år har städerna fått en mer betydande roll i samhället, vilket har lett till att behovet att planera städer som främjar hållbar utveckling har ökat. Detta medför stora utmaningar för den fysiska planeringen av städer och inom Sveriges gränser ställeDuring the recent decades the conditions for how our cities are developed has gained a more significant role in society, resulting in an increasing need to plan cities that promote sustainable development. This entails challenges in changing the direction of today’s spatial planning into a more sustainable one, a challenge that requires that all stakeholders work together to create attractive citi
