My main contribution to the Human Ecology field is exploring the relationship between memories and images of the future when pursuing transition imaginaries. By ‘feeling with the head and reasoning with the heart’, I used a sensory ethnographic method to listen to people's life stories during my fieldwork in Bolivia with territorial defenders. Throughout the data collection and analysis, there
Agonistic peace is an emerging approach in peace studies that advocates for non-violent and political continuation of conflict through transformation of inter-groups relationships so that former antagonists recognize each other as legitimate actors. As of yet, the practical implications of agonistic peace for ending violence and promoting durable peace have been relatively understudied, especially
Carbon-14 (14C) is one of the most important contributors to the collective effective dose of the public due to radioactive releases from nuclear power plants. However, the discharge of 14C from nuclear power plants (NPPs) into water has not been measured previously. The aim of this project was to the develop a method for retrospectively analysing the annual discharge of dissolved inorganic 14C. A
This paper studies Swedish working class economic and cultural attitudes from 2002 to 2021 in order to discern whether increased radical right support has led to attitude change, and whether or not these changes complicate working class representation. The results suggest that whilst the working class has become slightly more left-leaning in its economical attitudes, cultural attitudes have become

There is an ongoing debate within Swedish public administration regarding whether municipalities can handle contemporary issues that require some amount of coordination as well as whether they are straying from democratic principles. It is argued that the origin of this debate lies in the sectorisation of the Swedish welfare system, where the traditional model has been deemed unfit. There is conce
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
The paper examines the relationship between non-formal education activities and youth employability in the Republic of Armenia. 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
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
Title: Critical Supply Chain Factors for Scaling a Startup -- A Case Study in the Industry of Semiconductors Author: Pontus Landgren Supervisors: Bertil Nilsson, Lund University, Faculty of Engineering & Lennart Moberg, Acconeer AB Background: A well implemented supply chain strategy aligned with the company's overall strategy is a prerequisite in order to successfully scale a startup.
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
Many studies on how to encourage pro-environmental behaviour have been done. However, they have tended to focus on individual behaviour in isolation of social interactions despite increasing scepticism about the effectiveness of this approach in promoting the necessary transition toward a more sustainable society. Such a transition constitutes a central part of the transformational mode of sustain
The agenda of integration of local and indigenous knowledge (LINK) with disaster risk reduction (DRR) programmes has gained momentum since 1970s. Notwithstanding the incremental attention to LINK, researchers in this field agree that successful integration of local knowledge is difficult and the processes with such aims are not carried out fully and effectively. The purpose of this study is to pro
Denna uppsats beskriver vilka kategorier av anställda som är undantagna från anställningsskydd i Sverige och Storbritannien. Fokus för uppsatsen är Storbritanniens ‘employee shareholder’ och Sveriges anställda i en företagsledande eller jämförbar ställning, eftersom dessa två kategorier ger upp delar av sitt anställningsskydd och får någon form av ersättning eller kompensation för detta. UppsatseThis essay describes which categories of employees that are exempted from employment protection in Sweden and the United Kingdom. The focus of the essay will be the UK’s employee shareholders and Sweden’s employees in a managerial or comparable position, since these two categories give up their protection and receive some form of compensation, and/or some other form of protection in return. The es
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
