Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation demand humanity to depart from the growth imperative forming the economic structure of the world. In other words: Structural transformation is needed. Much of the sustainability debate in academy, politics, media and the public revolves around two paradigms: minor changes within the current system (e.g. green consumption, green growth) or
Introduction: This study attempts to optimize the choice of stationary phase for the separation of lignosulfonate lignin compounds using supercritical fluid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Background: Lignin is a potential renewable source of phenolic compounds. Lignosulfonate lignins are produced during pulping processes producing very complex mixtures, which are challenging to anal

Pollinating insects are declining due to several threats, one being a loss of flower resources because of a change of land use. With rural agricultural areas becoming more homogenous, urban areas might provide refuge for pollinating insects. The main aim of this study was to investigate how the trees in the city of Malmö, Sweden, contribute with food resources, i.e. nectar and pollen, both spatial
In this thesis, the relationship between bureaucratic structures and efficiency is evaluated through a case study of the Swedish Police Authority. The collected material consists of semi-structured interviews with police officers from four different stations located in Region Syd. A theoretical framework that posits that there exist two types of bureaucratic structures, enabling and coercive, and

A case study has been conducted in order to identify soft skills competitive in the labour market and see to what extent non-formal education increases youth productivity thus helping them get engaged in the job market. Another thing that the paper aims to study is the ro
Meal-kit boxes are considered a solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the food waste in the supply chain and households. Nevertheless, the consumers are concerned about the amount of packaging that comes with such a box, which is connected to higher carbon emissions than a grocery store meal. Thus, HelloFresh, a global market-leader in meal-kit boxes is driven to find more sustai
Travel today is not as self-evident as it has been the last few decades. This paper takes on a mission to investigate how external factors such as natural disasters, geopolitical tensions, and above all; epidemics, call for an external crisis communication for travel and tourism companies.
Climate change and human impact play a huge role in the sustainability and development of ecosystems and the services they offer to societies over temporal and spatial scales. Fossil pollen-based estimates provide unique information on past land cover change, but to date there are not many methods able to create spatially continuous maps and have a fine scale of land cover changes inferred from po
People's preferences for income inequality vary, and this research investigates the influence of socioeconomic status on these preferences. Drawing on a structural position theory that considers individuals’ self-interest and rationality to be driven by their socioeconomic status, this paper examines the extent to which socioeconomic status affects the likelihood of accepting income inequality
Resning är ett av de extraordinära rättsmedlen som finns i svensk processrätt och är att se som ett undantagsfall till huvudregeln om att domstolars avgörande, som vunnit laga kraft, förblir orubbade. När ett mål beviljas resning blir det föremål för en ny domstolsprövning och det kan ske antingen till fördel eller nackdel för den tilltalade. Uppsatsen redogör för de motiv som ligger bakom det modOne of the extraordinary remedies in Swedish procedural law is when a case is granted a new trial after it became legally binding. It is an exceptional case that deviates from the general rule that the court’s ruling should not be disturbed. When a petition for a new trial is granted, it can either be in favor of the defendant or to their detriment. The essay describes the motives behind the insti
In this thesis I study international space law’s rules on international responsibility and international liability for private satellite launches. I have used a legal dogmatic method to interpret these rules, before subjecting them to an economic analysis on how they will affect the behaviour of private actors and States. Finally I propose solutions to increase the economic efficiency of three dif
In this thesis the effects of utilizing the sample covariance matrix in the estimation of the global minimum variance (GMV) portfolio are presented. When the number of assets, N, are close to the number of observations, T, the sample covariance matrix approaches singularity, leading to a lot of uncertainties in form of estimation error. Due to that the computations of the sample GMV portfolio are
