Football supporters’ violence in Sweden is a current societal issue, which lacks experimental investigations. The current study aims to address this gap by investigating social and cognitive factors in order to better understand the mechanisms behind legitimation of violence towards supporters of the opposing team (the out-group). A football supporter and a social science student samples answered
Introduction: There is a need for risk stratification of emergency department (ED) chest pain patients. The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events risk score (GRACE RS) predicts adverse events in patients with confirmed acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and has been validated on unselected ED patients with chest pain. Clinical gestalt is the unstructured overall clinical assessment, based on the ph
Denna uppsats, som är skriven på kandidatnivå vid företagsekonomiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet, behandlar användandet av konsulter. Det användande som uppsatsen är riktad mot är svenska företagsledningars användande av strategi- och organisationskonsulter. Uppsatsen försöker inte komma fram till om konsulter är bra eller dåliga. Istället försöker den hitta lösningar för företagsledningar
Världen är för närvarande på väg mot 3°C av global uppvärmning pga globala koldioxidutsläpp. Kunskapen som krävs för att minska utsläppen existerar, men de radikala sociala och politiska förändringar som behövs sker hittills inte snabbt nog. Nuvarande politiska och ekonomiska paradigm hyllar koldioxidprissättning som antingen den enda lösningen, alternativt som en del av lösningen. Denna uppsats tThe world is currently heading for 3°C of global warming due to global excessive carbon emissions, and while science is producing the knowledge necessary to combat it, the radical change needed is not coming fast enough. Current political and economic paradigms hail carbon pricing as either the, or part of the solution to our carbon emissions problem. This thesis looks at the available (although l
Immunotherapy aims to enhance the immune system’s response to cancer. Different immunotherapies exist, such as cytokine therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors. The FDA has approved immunomodulatory drugs, such as Proleukin, a recombinant IL-2 cytokine, Nivolumab, and Avelumab, which are immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, these drugs lead to side effects in patients known as immune-related
Following the collapse of socialism in 1989, Eastern European countries experienced rapid socio-spatial reorganization causing a significant loss of urban greenspace (UGS). Greenspaces provide socio-environmental benefits, making them a crucial component of urban sustainability. This study explores the development of greenspace in Plovdiv (Bulgaria), which serves as a case study to understand disc
While AI is evolving at an unprecedented pace, the legal frameworks of countries around the world still struggle to find the appropriate answer to uniformly deal with AI-related issues. This master thesis would like to discuss one of the legal perspectives that AI technology has drawn attention to recently - its relationship with copyright law. The main point of the thesis is to answer whether im
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
Study purpose: The primary aim of this study is to explore the performance of different supply chain configurations made in response to various U.S. tariff rate conditions, particularly those impacting imports from China. Previous research has predominantly addressed this topic at the macro level, whereas this study employs a single-case firm, Nexus, to provide a more comprehensive analysis of the
Cash holding strategy is an important financial decision for firms. It is highly related to firms’ operation and development because cash is an important guarantee to meet the business payment and investment opportunity. However, some scholars believe that due to agency problems, too much cash holdings are likely to produce negative impact on enterprise value. Compared to listed firms on Chinese A
Based on the imbalances caused by asymmetric information and opaque supply chains, this study aims to contribute to the research field of logistics and supply chain management by exploring the potential of blockchain technology within logistics. The main focus is on increasing supply chain transparency for both suppliers and consumers, and improving contractual coordination in order to secure fulf
This thesis poses structural and behavioural competition problems in digital markets in terms of core platforms services provided by the gatekeepers under the proposed Digital Markets Act by the European Commission, where such problems are the most evident. This thesis analyses whether existing competition and more sector-specific legal tools are functional to address these problems. Traditional l
Constructing dam is a possible solution for remitting the scarcity of irrigation water resource in Bortala, Northwest China. Considering the complexity of dam site selection, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was chosen in combination of Geographic Information System (GIS) as the method of Multi-Criteria Decision Making on selecting dam site. Precipitation, slope, geological layer, soil type, land
Purpose: The purpose of this research is to understand the phenomenon of the engaged gamer, that we term video gamer’s engagement beyond purchase and playing games and how it affects the strategic brand management in the video game industry. Theoretical Perspective: The study relates engagement to strategic brand management, including the creation of a brand identity within the production process
Access to water is taken for granted in water abundant countries like Sweden, but safe water supply is increasingly threatened by droughts. This thesis analyses how the Swedish water sector responded to the unprecedented drought in 2018, by analysing water security discourse through the framework “What’s the problem represented to be?”. It explores implications of the drought on water policy and h
The recent advent of 3DSG in the computer vision domain has brought powerful high-level representations of 3D environments. These representations strive to mimic human perception and facilitate the extraction of meaningful insight from visual data. This research has led to framework like Hydra, which creates a real-time, persistent spatial perception system that creates a complete 3D map of their
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
