The European Union’s sustainability reporting framework, which includes the CSRD and the CSDDD, is widely regarded as a logical progression toward achieving the 2050 climate goals. The EU has faced criticism regarding the sustainability reporting directives, primarily due to concerns over the EU’s global competitiveness and the readiness of undertakings to comply. Consequently, there have been inc

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and natural hazards and associated disasters both pose significant global threats, with potential for exacerbating intersections. Despite AMR’s growing international priority, the nexus of AMR and hazards/disasters remains underexplored. This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the nexus to inform future perspectives and highlight further investigation

This thesis provides a comparative analysis on sustainability chapters in free trade agreements (FTA) from the EU and Australia. It then evaluates the implication this comparison has in light of EU-Australia FTA negotiations. In addition to this, the text utilises a funnel approach by examining broader concepts in order to help answer the research question. This includes the definition of free tra

This thesis examines the extent to which Indigenous and local communities are able to meaningfully participate in the governance of the Oxapampa-Ashaninka-Yanesha Biosphere Reserve (BIOAY). Peru is a mega-diverse country and has eight Biosphere Reserves, which operate through a multilevel governance model that prioritizes Indigenous and local participation for successful sustainable development ou

Climate change, changing weather patterns, and coastal erosion pose significant risks to the Hebridean isles, which are home to a unique habitat and a cultural landscape known as ‘’machair’. The machair is a coastal landform located exclusively in Scotland, with its majority of existence restricted to the western shore of the Outer Hebrides. This unique habitat, shaped by northern Atlantic winds a

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as the latest breakthrough in 3D reconstruction since it can provide photorealistic 3D reconstruction with real-time rendering. Despite its increasing popularity, it lacks an accessible and clear end-to-end workflow, and the use for it in interactive and immersive applications remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, with the constant development of new 3DG

This thesis performs a critical evaluation of the original Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) of the Lund tramway project, focusing on its adherence to the then-current Swedish national appraisal guidelines (ASEK 5) and the accuracy of its demand forecasts. An updated demand forecast and monetary valuation of time savings are constructed and compared to the original CBA projections by using empirical pas

This master’s thesis investigates the potential of applying transformation principles from the fashion industry to architectural design, specifically, how fundamental textile techniques such as seams, cuts, and slits can convert flat, two-dimensional surfaces into complex three-dimensional forms. Through a series of material experiments with these traditional methods, slits and cuts were identifie

Agricultural workers are on the frontlines of climate change, experiencing firsthand the effects of heatwaves, extreme weather, floods, and droughts on their health, safety, and livelihoods. However, their capacity to address these risks is often restricted by vulnerability factors such as workplace precarity, socioeconomic and immigration status, poor access to health services, and cultural and l

Denna uppsats undersöker volontärarbete inom Rädda Barnens barnverksamhet vid ett svenskt asylboende som en levd, situerad och moraliskt komplex praktik. Genom en kvalitativ metodologi, baserad på semistrukturerade intervjuer och deltagande observation, analyseras hur volontärer själva förstår sitt engagemang i relation till emotionella, etiska och politiska dimensioner av samtida migrationskontex

Industrial areas have played a vital role in shaping cities, serving as economic centers and employment places for decades. However, with economic trends drifting and other technological advancements lead to the constant change of industrial areas. They mostly became abandoned or underutilized due to this. These transitions created plenty of environmental, social and economic challenges including

This thesis derives a procedure for heat planning with focus on heat sources through a literature review of existing guidelines and case studies from Germany, Denmark and Italy. In a second step this procedure is adopted for assessing potential scenarios for the future heat supply of the municipality of Oberschleißheim (OSH), Germany, both for a district heating (DH) grid and individual heating so

Sveriges skogar är viktiga för klimatet! I Sverige är kalhuggning med efterföljande återplantering den vanligaste metoden för att bruka skog (så kallat rotationsskogsbruk). Med en hög andel skog som är brukad är det viktigt att förstå vilken påverkan på klimatet det har. I denna studie visas tydligt att utsläppen av koldioxid ökar när skogen huggs ner, vilket bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen.Levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHG) are rising, thereby acceler-ating global warming and related effects on the environment. Forests are an important ecosystem and can act as carbon sinks, providing a buffer against these effects. However, disturbances such as clearcutting can turn the forests into carbon sources. In this project, the effects of clearcutting on the carb

Denna uppsats har till avsikt att undersöka hur den svenska polismyndighetens gestaltning i TV-produktioner kan relateras till strategisk kommunikation, varumärkesbyggande och varumärkesambassadörer. Uppsatsen syftar även till att belysa hur poliser själva uppfattar denna mediala representation. Forskningen baseras på TV-produktionen Poliserna i våldsvågen, och kommer att examinera hur poliser strThis thesis aims to examine how the portrayal of the Swedish Police Authority in television productions is possible to relate to strategic communication, branding and brand ambassadors. It also aims to unfold how police officers themselves perceive the media representation. The research is focused on the TV-production Poliserna i våldsvågen, and will examine how the police officers are strategical

The way in which gender inequality (GI) is conceptualized contributes to determining approaches to overcome it and, ultimately, to achieve gender equality. There has been little previous research on the conceptualization of GI by civil society organizations (CSOs). This thesis aims to improve our understanding of how CSOs conceptualize GI today, how they understand changes in how GI has been conce

This thesis examines how national identity influenced Swedish and Danish diplomatic strategies within the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) from 1960 to 1962, and how these strategies were portrayed in national newspapers. By applying a theoretical framework focused on interpreting diplomatic intentions, alongside a narrative analysis of news articles, the study scrutinises EFTA documents and

The pursuit of economic growth is driving multiple global crises, including climate change, ecologicalcollapse, and rising inequality. As a high-income nation, Australia contributes to these problems, whilealso experiencing their impacts. Degrowth offers a radical alternative, yet remains marginalised in politicaland public debates. This thesis investigates the degrowth movement in Australia throu

This project aims to study wide angle scattering events at LDMX through simulation. LDMX is a fixed target experiment searching for missing momentum of the beam electrons to identify dark matter signals. It consists of a tracking system around the thin tungsten target placed in a 1.5 T magnetic field, to measure the momentum of electrons before and after the target, and calorimeters (electromagnet

This thesis provides an ethnographic analysis of civil society participation in the peace negotiations between the Colombian government and the insurgent group, the National Liberation Army (ELN). It examines how civil society actors navigated, engaged with, and attempted to influence the participatory process at the heart of the peace talks—negotiating internal and external power relations while
