We are at a critical point where the carbon emissions worldwide must cease. One way to do so is to switch to renewable energy and become less dependent on fossil fuels. Solar power is an energy source which can be expanded rather quickly, and has become more common in the past years. The issue with large scale solar power plants is that they take up a lot of space, which leads to conflict of inter
The use of picture storybooks has the potential to foster children’s environmental awareness and promote behavioural change, but little is known about their connection to the local context, particularly in Vietnam. This thesis presents a qualitative content analysis of sixteen children’s picture storybooks with environmental themes written by Vietnamese authors and illustrators, examining how they
This thesis explores the application of European Union competition law — specifically Article 102 TFEU — to the regulatory conduct of dominant sports governing bodies such as UEFA, FIFA, and ISU. As sport has evolved into a major economic sector, the dual role of these organizations as both regulators and commercial actors has raised significant legal questions concerning abuse of dominance and ma
This study explores the interdependencies and cascading effects in the disaster response management for a possible 7.2 magnitude earthquake scenario in Metro Manila, focusing on the role of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) as the primary assisting region. The research is grounded in Complexity and Socio-Technical Network Theory, which provides that the disaster response management is a c
This master’s thesis explores everyday life on the islands Asperö and Brännö, located in the South archipelago of Gothenburg. Although the islands are part of the Gothenburg municipality, their geographical separation creates unique, place-specific challenges, while also the boundedness of the islands' isolation fosters a sense of community among residents. The aim of the study is to gain an u
This study presents a mineralogical, textural and structural assessment of the Cambrian Faludden Sandstone Member (Borgholm Formation) and Lower Silurian mudstone (unspecified formation), for their potential use as reservoir and caprock, respectively, for deep carbon storage in the Swedish sector of the Baltic Sea subsurface. The study was performed on two drillcores from the island of Gotland, No
There is an expanding literature on the economic long-term effects of exogenous shocks such as armed conflict and economic crises. While some studies find evidence of poverty traps, the majority support the neoclassical prediction of eventual catch-up growth. This study contributes to the debate by examining Cambodia, which arguably became the most severely bombed country in history and site of on
Intangible assets are a cornerstone of the modern technological economy. Intellectual property (IP) provides incentives for continued scientific development through the protection of innovation and creativity. This technological development has allowed vast creations that solve daily challenges; nevertheless, as the negative externalities seen in the effects of anthropogenic climate change become
Studien syftar till att rättsdogmatiskt undersöka hur kryptovalutor ska beskattas enligt svensk inkomstskattelag. Uppsatsen analyserar även hur denna nya typ av valuta bör klassificeras enligt gällande rätt samt vilket inkomstslag som är mest tillämpbar vid beskattning. Studien grundas på lagstiftning, förarbeten, praxis från Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen, uttalanden från Skatteverket och doktrin. This study aims to conduct a legal dogmatic analysis of how cryptocurrencies should be taxed under the Swedish income Tax Act. The thesis examines how this new type of currency should be classified under current law and which income category is most applicable for taxation. The study is based on legislation, preparatory works, case law from the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court (Högsta förvaltn
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of highly persistent synthetic chemicals that have raised growing concern due to their widespread presence in the environment and potential health effects. This study focuses on Lake Bolmen, one of southern Sweden’s most important sources of drinking water, and investigates how PFAS enter and accumulate in the lake. A total of 23 PFAS compound
The research analyzes the narratives of LGBTQ+ people who are in exile from Russia and examines how their experiences reflect broader security narratives within Russian politics. To carry out this study, this research draws upon interdisciplinary theories from political psychology, critical security studies, and queer theory, with a particular focus on Lacan's concept of fantasy along with the
This thesis investigates the application of machine learning and statistical methods for forecasting hourly public transport validations using ticket‐validation data. After cleaning and aggregating validations into hourly counts, temporal features such as hour of day, weekday, and month are engineered. The modeling approaches include long short‐term memory networks trained with mean absolute error
This thesis explores how dialogue functioned as a practice of knowledge circulation within the International Dialogue Project (1977–1988), an ambitious and largely overlooked initiative led by Anne Buttimer and Torsten Hägerstrand. Conceived as an effort to bridge generational, disciplinary, and geographic divides, the project produced over 150 video-recorded interviews with senior scholars from v
The product space conditions the process through which economies become complex and develop. Does it also condition aid effectiveness? This thesis examines the relationship between technical cooperation (TC) and economic complexity and brings a novel perspective by documenting that the complexity opportunity index (COI) significantly enhances the association. Employing fixed effects panel regressi
Rehabilitation exercises are essential for recovery from many injuries, and their practice is guided by physical therapists in order to avoid the risk of further damage. The physical therapists have limited tools for conducting a quantified assessment of movement quality and this study investigates whether machine learning could be used to improve that process. A way to assess movement is to analy
Introduction: Cancer is classified into several stages, being more difficult to cure in later stages. Thus, early detection is important. This project aims to help the development of a non-invasive method for early cancer detection using hair samples. Background: Isotopes are known to leave a temporary and geographical signature in different samples. Capillon Analytics AB uses isotopes to detect c
Detta examensarbete undersöker hur 3DCityDB kan användas som leveransdatabas för 3D-geodata inom ramen för det nationella projektet 3CIM, med särskilt fokus på Malmö stad. 3CIM är ett samarbetsprojekt mellan Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö stad samt Lunds universitet, med målet att utveckla en enhetlig modell för 3D-stadsmodeller. Examensarbetet syftar till att utvärdera förutsättningarna för att stThis thesis investigates the use of 3DCityDB as a delivery database for 3D-geodata within the framework of the swedish national 3CIM-project, with a focus on Malmö municipality. 3CIM is a collaborative project between the cities of Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö, as well as Lund University, with the goal of developing a unified model for 3D city models. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the s
The rise of the internet, social media, and populist leaders in recent years has turned attention towards conspiracy theories, making them appear as phenomena which are becoming increasingly widespread. Although conspiracy beliefs have not necessarily increased over time, their growing visibility has emphasized the negative consequences associated with belief in them, such as heightened political
This master thesis investigates how a manufacturing company develops and implements packaging solutions for sustainable development, using ASSA ABLOY as a case study. Focusing on the sliding door operator produced at a manufacturing plant in Eastern Europe, the study explores the environmental and economic impacts of packaging throughout its life cycle and the internal packaging innovation process
