Behind the background of the increasing self-destructive nature of capitalism, this thesis investigates Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) as a promising movement opposing corporate industrial food systems. Given that major difficulties appear to be of internal nature and arise from misunderstanding and a lack of trust, the focus lies on internal communication as a leverage point for the moveme
This study investigates the complex mechanisms that drive and facilitate a Sustainable Entrepreneurial Mindset. While existing literature highlights the importance of Sustainable Entrepreneurship in promoting sustainable change, it lacks a detailed understanding of the specific mechanisms behind this mindset. To address this gap, the study conducts semi-structured interviews with ten sustainable e
This thesis details the development, implementation, and optimization of a local microservice designed to enhance invoice processing at Hulo, a company that manages au- tomatic payment invoices. This is conducted through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques, focusing particularly on Computer Vision and Object- detection. Motivated by the need to address the inefficienc
The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of the Brexit-referendum on export trade between the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth countries. The UK has long historical ties with the Commonwealth countries, in addition to its departure from the EU, it is interesting to investigate the British trade policy after Brexit. By constructing a synthetic United Kingdom from the remaining countrie
The study aimed to examine how counselors perceive and work with existential questions in cancer patients. The intention was to explore what experiences and perceptions the counselors had of existential questions in their work and how they worked with these in the patient meeting. Semi-structured interviews were made with ten hospital counselors working with cancer patients in the south of Sweden.
I kursen "Arkitektur i tid och rum" utforskas befintliga byggnader och hur de kan transformeras. Transformation är en viktig aspekt inom arkitektur och i dagens hållbarhetstänk har den aldrig varit mer aktuell. Transformation av befintliga byggnader är ett miljövänligare alternativ till nybyggnation, vilket minskar resursanvändningen samtidigt som ett kulturhistoriskt värde kan bevaras s
Detta examensarbete är ett samarbete med Region Skåne för att adressera den brist på strukturerade estimeringsmetoder som finns för projekt inom avdelningen “Digitalisering IT och MT”. Fokus har varit att skapa ett Proof of Concept (POC) i Excel som ska fungera som en grund för planering och genomförande av tester inom testavdelningen. Testprocessen i Region Skåne består av fyra faser: initiera, p
This thesis explores the impact of international remittances on household welfare in Morocco using a Propensity Score Matching approach. The purpose of the study is to assess the causal effect of these financial inflows on household expenditure, specifically on essential and temptation goods. Utilising national survey data, I find that households receiving remittances show a substantial increase i
Denna studie undersöker och besvarar huruvida det är mer värt ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv att renovera ett 50-talshus i originalskick än att bygga ett nytt hus när samma krav på inomhusmiljö ställs. Kraven ställs främst på luftkvalitén, men gäller även värmedistribution och levnadssätt. För att få en generell bild och ett resultat som kan användas i övergripande sammanhang har två alternativa utfThis study examines and answers whether it is more profitable from a financial point of view to renovate a 1950s house in its original condition than to build a new house when the same requirements are made regarding the indoor environment. The demands are primarily set on the air quality, but they also apply to heat distribution and lifestyle/usage. In order to get the big picture and a result wh
The EU approved the EHDS in April of 2024, a piece of legislation that regulates how member states store, handle and give access to health data. It presents both opportunities and challenges for member states. Therefore, the focus of this study is to explore and identify any current possible blocking mechanisms in Sweden in relation to the implementation of the EHDS. The study adopts an interpreti
I dagens konsumtionssamhälle präglas konsumenter ständigt av olika trender och skönhetsideal som sprids och förmedlas på sociala medier samt som anses viktiga för vissa konsumenter att följa. Influencers har i takt med detta blivit de nya opinionsledarna som förmedlar trender och skönhetsideal som förväntas följa för att passa in i samhällets normer. Tidigare forskning har fokuserat på hur företag
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur Sveriges regering framställt migration med särskild betoning på säkerhet i regeringsförklaringar under åren 2014, 2019 och 2022. För att analysera dessa regeringsförklaringar har studien tillämpat Köpenhamnsskolans säkerhetiseringsteori, som utforskar hur frågor omvandlas till säkerhetsproblem snarare än att behandlas vanliga politiska eller socioekonom
DNA extraction is a fundamental step in forensic analysis, directly impacting the accuracy of subsequent analysis. At the Swedish National Forensic Centre (NFC), ChelexDirect is currently the routine method for DNA extraction. Following extraction, samples are analyzed using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis to obtain a DNA profile. The objective of this study
This thesis investigated the prediction accuracy of offshore wind power using machine learning and classical time series methods. We used Support Vector Regression (SVR) with a Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel along the Autoregressive (AR) model. Time series cross-validation with data from the Lillgrund Wind Farm and hyperparameter tuning were used to enhance the performance of both models. Thro
Favouring good soil health is pivotal for ensuring long term agricultural production by minimizing erosion, increasing soil carbon content, increasing the soil water holding capacity and decreasing the soil bulk density. Certain land management practices can disfavour factors for soil health and in-extent lead to soil degradation which can threaten food production and natural habitats. Soil organi
Improved management of agricultural soils to sequester carbon from the atmosphere is considered an important climate mitigation measure. Intensive agriculture often leads to degradation of soil organic carbon (SOC), contributing to climate change and loss of soil ecosystem services. Interventions in agricultural management can halt or reverse the loss of SOC. Annual SOC change rates for interventi
This thesis examines the integration and impact of Generative AI (GenAI) on UX design, emphasizing human-AI collaboration and task complexity. Utilizing AI Sensemaking and Actor-network Theory (ANT), the study reveals that GenAI tools have transitioned from experimental aids to essential components in the design process, significantly enhancing productivity, particularly in prototyping and idea ge
