Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Adventure tourism is a fast-growing niche sector within tourism. This study aims to identify the primary motivations and constraints for individuals participating in adventure tourism. Emphasis was put on adventure participants' travel pattern behaviors (local residents/ tourists) and the new factor of COVID-19. Only some studies have examined constraints within adventure tourism, including motivations, travel, and COVID-19. A total of 240 individual's participated in a 10-15-minute survey that focused on 37 motivations and constraints pulled from previous literature. The findings highlighted personal improvement and destination experience as the key motivators to participate in adventure tourism, while traveler anxiety was the key constraint holding participants back. It also gave insight into how adventure tourism continues to be popular despite the pandemic.

The Coronavirus pandemic changed the normal lives across the country as strategies for mitigating the spread of the virus were put in place. Daily life was moved to a virtual setting as much as possible and typical mobility purposes changed or were eliminated. Shared transportation ridership declined dramatically in response to the pandemic, with reported drops of up to 90% across the United States. Mobility providers were tasked with determining strategies to encourage ridership during the risky time. The main research question that was explored in this study was, "What is the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on public transit and micromobility ridership?" The study aimed to determine important factors that potential riders considered and emphasized in their decision making. The research approach was to use a custom-developed stated preference survey. The survey collected opinions about public transit and micromobility ridership during and emerging from the Coronavirus pandemic. The study focused on Blacksburg, VA as it has both public transit and micromobility services. Personal characteristics and stated important factors that influenced potential rider decisions were determined to understand what is most important to potential riders. Mobility providers can use these findings to better address rider concerns and make informed decisions on provided service. Therefore, encouraging an increase in shared transportation ridership. / Master of Science / The Coronavirus pandemic changed the normal lives across the country as strategies for mitigating the spread of the virus were put in place.

The covid-19 pandemic broke out in Sweden in March 2020 and what followed were economic uncertainty, restrictions and social distancing. This study is inspired by two publications regarding the subject of auditing during the covid-19 pandemic. The first one is a report published by the Financial Reporting Council (2020) and the other is a scientific publication by Albitar et al. (2021). Using these publications, seven areas have in this study been created. These are, evaluation of risk, materiality, going concern, auditing evidence, the work process, human capital and, audit fees and working hours. The purpose of the study is to use the different areas as benchmarks to examine how the covid-19 pandemic has affected the auditors, whether they’ve had to change part of their work and whether these changes could mean any implications for the future of auditing. The study is qualitative and interviews with ten auditors from different big-four companies have been conducted. The study shows that the digitization process that had started a few years prior was helpful for the auditors. Especially with regards to collection of audit evidence. The auditors were prepared whilst not knowing what to be prepared for. However, the study also shows that creating team spirit, building client and colleague relationships and training of new employees have been more difficult during the pandemic. From the study we project that the digitalization and working-from-home approach will have a sustained impact on the future of the profession. Time efficient digital meetings will be implemented to a higher degree and the flexibility of from where employees can work will increase. / Covid-19 pandemin bröt ut ordentligt i Sverige under mars 2020 och med detta följde bland annat restriktioner, social distansering och ekonomisk osäkerhet. Denna studie utgår från en rapport av Financial Reporting Council som publicerades i mars 2020 och en vetenskaplig artikel av Albitar et al. (2021). Med utgångspunkt i dessa två publikationer har sju områden skapats.  Dessa är riskbedömning, väsentlighet, fortsatt drift, revisionsbevis, arbetsprocessen, det mänskliga kapitalet samt arvoden och arbetstimmar. Syftet med denna studie är att utifrån dessa sju områden undersöka hur covid-19 pandemin har påverkat revisorerna, om deras arbetssätt har behövt förändras och vilka implikationer dessa förändringar kan ha för framtiden.  Studien är av kvalitativt slag där semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med tio olika svenska revisorer från big four bolag. Utifrån studiens resultat kan det konstateras att den digitaliseringsprocess som inletts under tidigare år, speciellt med hänsyn till insamling av revisionsbevis var till stor hjälp. Revisorerna var förberedda utan att veta vad som skulle förberedas och utifrån förutsättningarna har revisionskvaliteten till stor grad kunnat bibehållits. Studien visar dock på att lagsammanhållning och byggandet av kundrelationer har varit svårt att bevara när allt skett på distans och utbildning av nyanställda har varit tuffare. Utifrån studien tros digitaliseringen och distansarbetet som covid-19 pandemin medfört ha en inverkan på yrket i framtiden. Mer tidseffektiva digitala möten kommer implementeras och flexibiliteten i var arbetet kan utföras kommer öka.
