As the world is becoming more digital, the use of data is rapidly increasing. To protect all EU citizens from privacy and data breaches, the regulations will become stricter. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will become effective on the 25th of May 2018. This will mean big structural changes for organizations, but it will also mean tougher requirements for gathering and maintaining pe
This paper studies the relationship between contraceptive adoption by women and three relevant predictors: women’s education, empowerment and religious affiliation. I employ recent information on women’s characteristics and the institutional environment for six Latin American countries, in the years 2013-2015, to perform a cross-section analysis with binary and multinomial logistic regressions, ha
Examensarbetets titel: What’s the name of the game? – Om resultatjustering när mandaten står på spel – En kvantitativ analys om hur valcykeln påverkar resultatjusteringen i svenska kommuner.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of how MaaS business models can be designed and configured. Theoretical Perspective: The theoretical perspective is provided by a preliminary framework which consists of a synthesis between Business model theory and MaaS literature. Methodology: A qualitative single case study was employed with an abductive research approach. E
Despite its importance, rural groundwater quality in Rwanda remains insufficiently monitored. This study aimed to investigate the groundwater quality, its health implications as well as how management can be improved to reduce the health risks of rural boreholes in the Nyagatare district in Rwanda. In total 61 boreholes were visited and 48 groundwater samples were collected. Analysis was conducted
This thesis examines how outnovation is enacted within design entrepreneurship, with fashion design entrepreneurship as the empirical context. It analyses how value formed through design practice may contribute to sustainable competitive advantage. Understood as an alternative innovation logic centred on authenticity, nostalgia, simplicity, and sustainability, outnovation offers a counterpoint to
The following study explores the economical and political determinants influencing the Swedish parliamentary election outcomes, through the lens of statistical modeling. With analysis of election data from 1970-2022, we employed both multiple regression and ridge regression to explore the following key variables: immigration, taxation, unemployment, inflation, poll performance, incumbency, margina
The idea that tunneling is enhanced by the compression of the donor-acceptor distance has attracted significant interest. In particular, recent studies argued that this proposal is consistent with pressure effects on enzymatic reactions, and that the observed pressure effects support the idea of vibrationally enhanced catalysis. However, a careful analysis of the current works reveals serious inco
III-Nitride based LEDs based on InGaN active layers on GaN work very well for the blue and green emitting LEDs. However, the large lattice mis-match between redemitting active layers, with at least 35% indium in the active layers, and the GaN substrate still limits the efficiencies obtained to very low values. Unfortunately, the approach to use GaAs based (GaAs/AlInGaP) devices for the red fails f
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer that lacks the expression of the oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and amplification of HER2. This subtype is the most aggressive subtype and a heterogeneous subgroup of breast cancer, making up around 10-15% of the cases, often affecting younger patients
Recognising the increasing complexities posed by climate challenges to urban environments, it is crucial to develop holistic capabilities for urban areas to effectively respond to climate-related risks, forming the backbone of sustainable urban planning strategies and demanding a comprehensive understanding of urban climate justice. It requires a thorough examination of how climate change exacerba
Notch wear often determines tool life when machining stainless steel. Chemical Vapour Deposited (CVD) Al2O3/Ti(C,N) coated cemented carbide tools are the first recommendation for turning of stainless steel. The CVD coating plays a vital role in reducing and delaying tool wear progress. Hence, it is essential to understand the interaction between the initiation of notch wear and the coating degrada
In stainless steel turning, cutting tool life is often limited by excessive localised damage at the depth of cut line, known as notch wear. Previous research revealed that notch wear in CVD (chemical vapour deposition) Al2O3/Ti(C,N) coated WC-Co tools begins as a coating brittle fracture already after 0.3 m of cutting. This paper investigates the impact of cutting tools and workpiece materials on
The operational management of offshore wind farms includes inspection and maintenance (I&M) of the wind turbine support structures. These activities are complex and influenced by numerous uncertain factors that affect their costs. The uncertainty in the I&M costs should be considered in decision value analyses performed to optimize I&M strategies for the turbine support structures. In
Due to advances in technology, sampling procedures and short lag times between successive sampling, autocorrelation among the measured data has become common in most applications. Neglecting autocorrelation leads to a poor false alarm performance. In the current paper, the effect of the autocorrelation on the performance of a variable-parameters multivariate single control chart is investigated in
Variable parameters (VP) schemes are the most effective adaptive schemes in increasing control charts' sensitivity to detect small to moderate shift sizes. In this paper, we develop four VP adaptive memory-type control charts to monitor multivariate multiple linear regression profiles. All the proposed control charts are single-chart (single-statistic) control charts, two use a Max operator and tw
Tool wear intensity is one of the major performance and economic indicators of metal cutting processes. Understanding and control of tool wear and its governing mechanisms enables effective and sustainable manufacturing. Known wear mechanisms include abrasive, adhesive, chemical and diffusional, where their individual or combined action leads to an overall tool degradation. In this study, we prese
Background: The existence of a “minority tax,” defined as the burden of extra responsibilities placed on minorities relative to non-minorities of the same position, has been documented across various fields, including and beyond medicine. This study sought to quantify the types and extent of the minority tax faced by minority orthopaedic surgeons, as well as evaluate the degree to which this work
PurposeThe purpose is to increase the understanding of when a heritage in the non-profit category becomes a part of the established heritage sector, and how this can be understood with regard to the rising awareness of climate change in heritage management and recent theories within the field. The case is Hindås Ski Jumping Hill in Hindås, Sweden, which since 2022 is a listed building in Sweden.De
