Livsmedelsindustrin har stor miljömässig påverkan och uppfyller inte de krav som ställs för att industrin ska betraktas som hållbar. Konsumenterna är en av de viktigaste intressenterna för att kunna implementera hållbar konsumtion. Genom att studera och analysera hur konsumenter skapar värde fås ökad förståelse för vad som driver hållbar konsumtion i livsmedelsindustrin ur konsumentperspektivet. S
Green hydrogen is an advantageous clean energy carrier that enables the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors and addresses the intermittency of renewables. However, its global production is currently constrained by inadequate infrastructure, high investment risks, and relatively technological infancy. Failure to scale green hydrogen could hinder decarbonization efforts and climate goals. Recog
Nationalparker utgör ett centralt element i naturvård runt hela jorden. Utöver naturvård så utgör tron på deras positiva effekt för regionalekonomisk utveckling en allt vanligare motivering för att grunda nya nationalparker. Forskningsläget kring omfattningen av sådana effekter är dock oklart och den ekonomiska effekten av nationalparker i Syd-, Väst, och Mellansverige har inte analyserats i någonNational parks are key parts of worldwide conservation initiatives. Increasingly, they are being founded not only to meet conservation goals but also because of their potential positive impact on regional economies. However, the results of previous research are ambiguous when it comes to assessing the magnitude of this effect and no such studies have been conducted for national parks in southern,
Syftet med studien går ut på att undersöka och analysera vilka karaktäristiska egenskaper och färdigheter som en projektledare bör besitta eller utveckla för att lyckas i sin roll. Vidare kommer studien att undersöka projektledarens ledarskapsstil för att få en uppfattning om hur det påverkar ett projekts framgång. Genom att identifiera dessa egenskaper och färdigheter kan arbetet bidra till att ö
The survival and persistence of the threatened Marsh Fritillary butterfly (E. aurinia) is linked to the availability of its host plant, the Devil’s Bit (S. pratensis), which primarily inhibits calcareous grasslands. Previous research has established that mapping the distribution of S. pratensis serves as a reliable indicator for identifying the presence of E. aurinina larvae nests. In this study,
In workplaces, a lot of knowledge is lost when colleagues change positions. What was once obvious to one person can be incomprehensible to the next. This problem has been encountered by Probation Labs Sweden AB with their biochemical instrument, Labbot. Labbot facilitates researchers in automating their protein analysis. It works like a multi-tool where users can perform one or several tasks in a
The objective of this study is to examine the effect of financial literacy on household wealth accumulation among Swedish households. Prior research have suggested that financial literacy plays a significant role in financial decision making. Using household data from The Financial Supervisory Authority (FI) of Sweden and instrumental variable approach, the study aims to isolate the effect of fina
The concrete sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions; consumes substantial amounts of natural resources and serves as a significant source of global waste. The Circular Economy approach has been put forward as the solution to these environmental issues, but the overall effectiveness of the approach has been called into question by existing research. The aim of this thesis
During recent decades there has been a rapid growth of volunteer tourism whose nature and impact are increasingly questioned in both literature and media. This study aims to critically compare the intended positive impacts with the potential negative consequences of volunteer tourism. The objective is to gain insight into possible contradictions and harm of the practice. Furthermore, by applying a
På en arbetsmarknad där det blir svårare och svårare för företag att rekrytera rätt kandidater har organisationskulturen blivit en konkurrenskraftig faktor för att attrahera rätt typ av personer. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vad en sådan organisationskultur kan bestå i: Hur beskriver anställda en god företagskultur och hur upprätthålls den? Forskningen på området förklarar ofta organi
Minoriteter har i alla tider blivit utsatta för att vara annorlunda majoriteten. Samer är ett sådant exempel. Den här studien utforskar hur denna olikhet har kommit att presenteras i svenska video- och filmklipp från 1930- och 1940-tal. Det som står i fokus är hur samerna (minoriteten) har föreställts av svenskar (majoriteten). Detta görs med hjälp av ett antal analytiska begrepp. Rasism, rasifier
On the 24th of February 2022, Russia initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. About a quarter of a year later, Sweden decided to abandon its long standing foreign policy doctrine of being militarily non-aligned in favor of joining NATO. Given the sequencing of these events, the common perception is that the 2022 invasion was the sole reason behind this significant decision. Taking a long-term

But also, to get an idea on how the horses skeletal parts were handled and through that information try to understand the true importance of sacrificing a horse during the iron age, with a main focus on Röekillorna.

When the civil war in Lebanon was ended by the signing of the Taif Agreement in 1989, the consociational democracy was reintroduced to mitigate inter-sectarian tension. Although there has been more than 30 years since the war ended, Lebanon is still a deeply divided society, and the current peace is characterized by reoccurring eruptions of violence and inter-sectarian tension. While the sectarian

And particularly, it inquiries about that: in their family life, what kind of strategies do they apply to navigate the balance between individual and family interests? To answer the question, the research combined neo-familism and life cour
Despite the many use cases for machine learning, it sees minimal usage in Sweden’s public sector today. It is important that the public sector in particular utilizes the most efficient tools available. For this reason, the Department of Employment and Social Services in Malmö has started a project to explore the viability of introducing machine learning to their work. This thesis corresponds to ro
In the 1990s Katz and Mair started to theorize about the development of a new party model across Western European democracies; the cartel party. Studies dating back to the theoretical emergence of the cartel party in the 1970s support that parties across Western Europe have become increasingly financially dependent on the state, while diverging from civil society. In this paper it is tested with q
The thesis consists of four chapters, each focused on developing the knowledge and drawing new connections with the p-adic numbers and the notions that are well known from the usual analysis on the real topology. In the first chapter, we introduce the basic structure of the $p$-adics, in connection to the conergent series and field axioms. Following that, in chapter two we focus on the defining t
Meritocracy, a form of political system where intelligence and effort combined determines your position in society. The concept have existed for centuries but the term ”meritocracy” was popularized by author and sociologist Michael Young in 1958.
