Luminescence dating is widely used in combination with sedimentological analysis to reconstruct the landscape development of the Quaternary period. Here, quartz and K-feldspar measurements are used to date and evaluate the luminescence characteristics of sediments from seven sites of the lower part of the Velická valley (995-1250 m a.s.l.) in the High Tatra Mountains, Slovakia. The quartz and K-f
Vi lever i en tid där vi kan se en fördjupning av den patriarkala ordningen, vilket tar sig uttryck i militärisering och nationalistiska rörelsers framfart. Kvinnliga relationer, i form av systerskap och kvinnosolidaritet, studeras som ett möjligt motstånd denna utveckling. Syftet med användningen av ordet systerskap handlar inte om att skapa en falsk föreställning om att kvinnor är likar under et
This thesis research whether mergers and acquisitions in the renewable energy industry create value for the acquiring firms’ shareholders. To research this, an event study methodology has been employed where three different event windows are studied in the short term, and one event window is studied in the long term. All acquirers are listed in either Europe or the US, and the short-term samples c
Extinction Rebellion (XR) is a global climate justice movement. Founded in 2018 in the UK and arising partly out of the Rising Up! network, it has since spread across the globe with various local and working groups in 57 countries. While environmental in focus, XR appears to be more than what first meets the eye. Their decentralized, non-hierarchical and self-expressive cell network works both onl

Modern society is characterized by rapid population growth and urbanization. The urban population is exposed to many risks connected to the urban way of living such as the effects of climate change, loss of biodiversity and health risks. Sustainable urban planning where ecosystem services and nature-based solutions are included can mitigate these risks. The purpose of this study is to investigate
The term Smart City is a frequently used term regarding cities' modern ICT solutions that contribute towards sustainable development and the improvement of the life quality of citizens.

The purpose of this thesis was to explore how distributed leadership is practiced and perceived by the knowledge workers in a management consultancy firm. Furthermore, we investigated the possible connection between the distributed leadership approach and employee motivation. In doing so, we drew upon Alvesson and Kärreman (2012) ‘motivation triangle’ in order to incorporate the often undermined a
This paper is a move towards furthering the understanding of how the entwinement between embodiment and agency can be understood from a sociological perspective. By focusing on the cultural praxis of ‘daygaming’, the paper analyzes Youtube material from the ‘seduction community’ and outlines the community’s cultural scripts and discourses with regards to ‘daygaming’. Hitherto, the seduction commun
The purpose of the thesis is to analyse how a CSR strategy can create a competitive advantage using the CSR Stage Model in a comparison between MAX and McDonald's. It was found that a majority of consumers value a fast-food restaurant’s CSR work and take that into consideration when choosing between restaurants. Moreover, the survey respondents perceived MAX to be the most sustainable fast-foo
I denna rapport undersöktes hur infiltration i åkermark kan beskrivas i en skyfallskartering. Utifrån en fördjupad litteraturstudie av åkermarkens egenskaper och särart valdes en uppsättning parametrar för att beskriva dess infiltration. En skyfallskartering över Ystad tätort och omkringliggande åkermark genomfördes sedan genom konstruktion av flertalet modeller i programvaran Mike Flood. Även öve

The thesis also aims to find out how high-speed land transportation links to the sustainability goals. This thesis studies two different scenarios, where the first scenario i
Undersökningar visar att studenter är mer stressade än yrkesverksamma i samma åldrar. Tidigare stressforskning som inriktats på studenter har främst undersökt stress utifrån akademiska utgångspunkter eller faktorer som berör livsstil. Samtidigt är det inte ovanligt för studenter vid Lunds universitet att lägga ner flera timmar i veckan på ideellt arbete inom en studentorganisation, men i dessa tid

This thesis aims to understand what influences the adoption of Internet of Things [IoT] platforms in Swedish municipalities for smart city initiatives. The adoption of IoT platforms in Swedish municipalities is slow, but the effects of an IoT platform can enhance the processes and progression toward smarter cities. To describe what influences the adoption of IoT platforms, the Technology-Organisat
Activation measures were implemented as a condition for social assistance in Sweden in the 1990s. Generally, the goal has been to promote the transition from welfare to work and to(re)integrate people dependent on social assistance into the labour market. Social assistance is regulated by the Social Services Act, which is a framework law that gives municipalities and individual social workers exte
Women’s agency can be defined as the ability to act for yourself, to change the situation for you or for others. This is increasingly important when it comes to women suffering from domestic violence, who are often associated with assumptions of weakness and powerlessness. The professional’s response and support are therefore essential in the process of change for women. The aim of this study was
This paper analyzes the effect of the amnesty given under IRCA of 1986 on the educational attainment of Hispanic undocumented immigrants. Data was collected from the IPUMS USA database and consists of cross-sectional microdata from seven U.S. censuses. The thesis exploits the cut-off year of 1982 for being granted amnesty in a difference-in-difference strategy. The results suggest that IRCA affect
