  1. 1. Green Numbers in Grey Areas: A study on what methods credit analysts use to integrate incomplete ESG data in the credit rating process

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för redovisning och finansiering

    Author : Erik Voss-Schrader; Gustav Ryhre; [2024]
    Keywords : Credit; Debt; Rating; ESG; Epistemic;

    Abstract : In response to the urgent need to address global warming, this study investigates the efforts of two credit rating agencies (CRAs), Aries and Orion, to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into their financial analyses amidst challenges posed by inconsistent and unstandardized data. Based on interviews with nine CRA representatives and Knorr Cetina's theory of epistemic cultures, the present study reveals the difficulties faced by the CRAs with directly linking ESG factors to credit ratings.

  3. 2. A Comparative Analysis of User Interfaces in the Calling Functionality of Infotainment Systems among Popular Cars in Romania : Investigating UX and Usability Design Principles for In-car Infotainment Systems.

    University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Avdelningen för datateknik och informatik

    Author : Semi Kandiyoti Eskenazi; Bogdana-Floriana Cimpan; [2023]
    Keywords : Car infotainment systems; User experience; Calling functionality; Interface design; Human-Machine Interface HMI ; European Statement of Principles on HMI; Driver distraction; Road safety; Design patterns.;

    Abstract : As cars become more integrated into people’s lives, the design of in-car infotainment systems has become increasingly important. This thesis explores the user experience and Usability design principles of the calling functionality within the infotainment systems of five of the most common cars in Romania. READ MORE

  4. 3. Analyzing Survey Response Time and Response Rate for Colorectal Cancer Patients Using Logistic and Poisson Regression

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Anna Möller; Martina Lagerros; [2023]
    Keywords : Applied Mathematics; Regression; Poisson Regression; Logistic Regression; Statistics; Cancer; Patients; Healthcare; Tillämpad Matematik; Statistik; Regression; Logistisk Regression; Poisson Regression; Cancer; Patientvård;

    Abstract : Cancer is a highly prevalent disease worldwide, claiming hundreds of lives each year. In the field of cancer research, it is customary to conduct surveys in which patients are asked to self-report and assess their symptoms and overall health. READ MORE

  5. 4. How to fail successfully: the struggles of PAR within academia

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakulteten; Linköpings universitet/Tema Genus

    Author : Dimitra Moustaka; [2023]
    Keywords : Participatory action research PAR ; decolonial research; asylum interview; coloniality of the academy; intersectionality; self-reflectivity;

    Abstract : This research seeks to explore the origins and values of participatory action research, as well as its role in transforming possibilities to knowledge production and shaping equal relationships between research participants. Drawing from the theoretical frameworks of intersectionality and decoloniality and with a focus on the experience of the asylum interview, the research seeks to explore the ways that those epistemological paradigms intertwine with participatory research to deconstruct the dichotomy between researcher and research subject (expert/community) and re-balance the power differentials embedded within academia, canonical knowledge production and traditional research methodologies, to initiate change.

  6. 5. First principles investigation of the thermal conductivity of Zr, ZrC, and ZrN

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Daniel Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Electron-phonon interaction; Density functional theory; Boltzmann transport equation; first-principles; thermal conductivity; electrical resistivity; Abinit; Phono3py; Elektron-fononväxelverkan; täthetsfunktionalteori; Boltzmanns transportekvation; värmeledningsförmåga; elektrisk resistivitet; Abinit; Phono3py;

    Abstract : The thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of Zr, ZrC, and ZrN were calculated using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) and the Boltzmann transport equation. The electron-phonon scattering was modeled via the self-energy relaxation time approximation (SERTA), and the phonon-phonon scattering via the analogous single-mode relaxation time approximation (SMRTA).
