Historically, the correlation between stocks and bonds has exhibited stable patterns, often maintaining either a positive or negative sign over extended periods. Empirical evidence also shows, however, that this correlation tends to fluctuate due to various economic factors. This thesis aims to explore the presence of variation over time in the stock-bond correlation and to identify the factors re
Research question: How do consumer motivations differ in response to the use of the term vintage compared to second-hand, influencing willingness to buy? Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate young adults’ motivations and willingness to buy in the context of preowned fashion. Through a comparative study, from a consumer perspective, this study aims to understand how terms like seco
In current oat beverage production, insoluble components such as fiber fractions (plant cell structures) are usually decentered from the product, causing many types of loss. Retaining these fractions requires an efficient breakage of them, to avoid sandy mouthfeel in the end-product, which can be achieved for instance by homogenization. To study the homogenization efficiency, the resulted particle
Barnhandel är rekrytering, transport, överföring, inhysande eller mottagande av ett barn i syfte att exploatera hen. I Sverige, som i första hand är ett destinationsland för barnhandel, identifieras ett 50-tal barn per år som offer för människohandel. Antalet okända fall uppges dock vara betydligt högre. Med barn re-trafficking avses varje situation där ett barn som har brutit sig loss från en mänChild trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring, or receipt of a child for the purpose of exploitation. In Sweden, which primarily is a country of destination for child trafficking, around 50 children per year are identified as child victims of human trafficking. However, the number of unknown cases is said to be significantly higher. Child re-trafficking means any situa
The white blood cells are critical for the immune response of the body and the defence against infections. Measurements of the number of white blood cells in the blood is essential when diagnosing for example immunodeficiencies and determining the type of infection. Two types of measurements are frequently used, total white blood cell count and white blood cell differential. Both types are depen
There is a lack of data concerning compatibility between intravenously administered drugs, especially for doses administered in neonatal care. Co-administrating drugs or other substances used in hospital care, for instance parenteral nutrition that are incompatible with each other can, in worst case scenarios, lead to fatal outcomes. It is not only important to study drug incompatibility at differ
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka möjligheter och utmaningar som mindre svenska kommuner har haft vid implementering av Robotic Process Automation (RPA). För att uppnå syftet med studien har tidigare litteratur kombinerats med en kvalitativ undersökning av tre kommuners erfarenheter kring RPA i kommunen. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att kommunerna har haft både utmaningar och möjligheter
Since the release of the recent generation of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 (GPT standing for generative pre-trained transformer), companies and individuals are exploring opportunities to improve their effectiveness by automating or receiving assistance with knowledge-intensive tasks by using artificial intelligence (AI). Within software engineering, a plethora of commercial services
This thesis explores the investment criteria applied by venture capitalists (VCs) for early-stage Deep Tech hardware startups in Europe, focusing on how these criteria and their characteristics vary across Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A funding rounds. Drawing from a dataset of 102 relevant investment rounds spanning from 2022 to 2024, the study employs quantitative methods to analyse funding dynami
In this thesis a simulation of a vertical GaN FinFET is created. The mobility models are first calibrated against known measurements of a real device. The model is then used to investigate the effects of scaling the device. It is shown that a 1 µm drift layer with a 1 µm fin could achieve a breakdown voltage of 300 V and for a 5 µm drift layer a breakdown voltage of 700 V can be reached. The resul
With an increasing emphasis on sustainability, and the necessity to align with new regulations, companies face the challenge of transforming their business models to incorporate circularity. Many companies today operate according to a linear business model, where products are designed for consummation and disposal. However, to comply with new demands surrounding sustainability, companies will need
An interacting particle system is a stochastic process describing the evolution of finitely or infinitely many particles, each of which, in the absence of any interaction, would evolve like a Markov process. The particle system can be examined in different scales by grouping particles together and considering their average. Their behaviour is described by a Markov process on a microscopic scale, w
Stress is a common phenomenon amongst students and can be experienced differently depending on gender. Yoga’s impact on stress and other mental illnesses is now also well-documented. This study sought to examine relationships between students’ perceived stress level at Lund University and yoga-practice, when taking into account gender and stressors relevant to students. The hypotheses were that yo
Kulturskolan når över 400 000 barn i Sverige årligen. Institutionen har trots det inget definierat uppdrag på nationell nivå men frågan om vad institutionens uppdrag kan tänkas vara aktualiseras ofta i olika sammanhang. Ett återkommande tema är om Kulturskolan ska förvalta ett kulturarv eller följa marknadsestetiken. Syftet med studien är att ur Kulturskolechefernas perspektiv undersöka Kulturskol
As a mean of tackling the harsher business environment of today has use of various enterprise resource planning systems (ERPS) increased. It, thus, felt self-evident to focus on what implementation of such new technology would mean and involve both for a whole organization as well as its employees. The construction industry has a long history of and is characterized with project-based work and yet
Bakgrund: Användning av tröstnapp är ett omtvistat och väl omdiskuterat ämne. Barn som vårdas på sjukhus utsätts för procedurer och undersökningar som inte sällan kan upplevas som obehagliga och smärtsamma. Det sjuka barnet orkar inte alltid äta/amma helt och har kanske inte heller tillgång till sin mamma dygnets samtliga timmar. Även det förtidigt födda barnet gynnas av tröstnappen och fördelarna
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om det är en framgångsrik investeringsstrategi att köpa aktier i börsnoteringar av svenska fastighetsbolag. Vi undersöker detta genom att skapa en portfölj av aktier i fastighetsbranschen som har noterats under 2000-talet. Vi beräknar sedan olika mått som används för utvärdering av investeringsstrategier för portföljen och jämför dessa med ett fastighetsin
Syftet med studien var att undersöka individers attityder till internetdejting, om internetdejting utgör ett alternativ i sökandet av partners för seriösa förhållanden och kortvariga sexuella relationer samt om det kan finnas skillnader i vem, utifrån personlighetstyp som använder eller inte använder dejtingsidor och/eller dejtingappar. Hypoteserna var att det skulle finnas positiva samband mellan
This study concerns two photorealistic oil paintings by Ola Billgren: Venetian Blind, 1965 and Interior, 1971-1972. These paintings are from his neorealist period and are representative for Billgren’s style in the 1960s and early1970s. There is a subtle underlying feeling of anxiety imbedded in these two paintings. A sense of distance is also present. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate h
