In the face of growing geopolitical uncertainty, climate change, and increasing reliance on complex global supply chains, the issue of security of food supply has gained renewed urgency in Sweden. This thesis investigates how the national security of food supply can be enhanced by integrating the perspectives of stakeholders involved in the Swedish food system. Adopting a qualitative approach, the
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står idag för cirka 40% av EU:s totala energianvändning och 36% av de energirelaterade utsläppen av växthusgaser. Samtidigt har en stor del av byggnadsbeståndet låg energiprestanda och omställningstakten mot ett mer energieffektivt och klimatneutralt byggnadsbestånd är låg. För att påskynda denna utveckling har EU antagit en tillväxtstrategi med målet att vid år 2050 upThe building and real estate sector currently accounts for about 40% of the EU’s total energy use and 36% of its energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, a large part of the building stock has low energy performance, and the shift towards a more energy-efficient and climate-neutral building stock is proceeding slowly. To speed up this development, the EU has adopted a growth stra
This paper examines whether Sweden's shift towards New Public Management (NPM) has affected unemployment and crime rates at the municipal level. Using panel data from 290 Swedish municipalities (1995–2021) and a regression discontinuity design, I test whether left-wing governance (as a proxy for lower NPM adoption) impacts these social outcomes. Results show that narrower left-wing coalition g
As climate change alters the geophysical conditions of the Arctic, foreign policymakers are increasingly looking towards the region as a new theatre of potential conflict or cooperation. This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of the literature, integrating both academic and government resources, to determine how the discourse conceptualizes the climate-conflict nexus in the Arctic.
Kusiner förlorade sin arvsrätt med 1928 års arvslag och står än idag utanför den allmänna arvsordningen. Sambor har aldrig tagits upp in i den till att börja med. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka arvsrätten för kusiner och sambos i svensk rätt. Grupperna har gemensamt att de ofta står den avlidna men samtidigt utanför den allmänna arvsordningen. Frågorna som ställs handlar om hur synen på kCousins lost their right of inheritance with the 1928 Inheritance code and remain outside the general order of succession to this day. Cohabiting partners have never been included in it to begin with. The purpose of this essay is to examine the right of inheritance for cousins and cohabiting partners in Swedish law. The two groups have in common that they are often close to the deceased, yet the
ISAC, or Integrated Sensing and Communication, is a growing research area and is expected to be an important part of the forthcoming 6G wireless communication standard. In this thesis, we focus on examining performance and limitations of an ISAC-radar in a low-complexity mmWave beamforming architecture. We design methods to detect multiple nearby targets and estimate their range, velocity, angle o
Killer acquisitions refer to a strategic subset of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in which dominant firms acquire innovative start-ups to eliminate potential future competition. These transactions have become increasingly prevalent in the pharmaceutical and medical technology sectors, where start-ups often possess valuable innovation assets despite generating little or no current turnover. Con
This thesis aims to address the complex legal challenges related to the responsibility of multinational corporations for human rights violations and environmental harm in global supply chains. Starting from the context of increasing pressure on transnational businesses and the shortcomings of soft law instruments such as the UN Guiding Principles and the OECD Guidelines, the study examines the pot
Bakgrund: I Sverige föds vart femte barn med kejsarsnitt, varav majoriteten kvinnor är vakna med regional anestesi. Anestesisjuksköterskan delar omvårdnadsansvaret med barnmorskan. Studier har visat lägre nöjdhet vid kejsarsnitt än vid vaginal förlossning. Syfte: Att undersöka kvinnors upplevelse av den intraoperativa fasen av kejsarsnitt i regional anestesi. Metod: Systematisk litteraturstudi
This is a quantitative thought experiment, exploring how the relationship between income, consumption, and emissions must adapt to meet the climate targets for 2030 and 2050. Replicating the dataset from my first-year thesis, I conduct a bivariate analysis of gross national income (GNI) per capita and carbon footprint per capita across 129 countries, using a fixed-effects regression and a random e
In the pursuit of more sustainable urban energy systems, recovering industrial waste heat presents a promising opportunity to enhance energy efficiency and reduce emissions. This thesis explores the technical and economic feasibility of capturing excess heat from an industrial process and repurposing it to supply a new low-temperature district heating network planned for a new residential district
This thesis examines how public transport planning documents in Skåne reflect principles of transport justice. Due to mitigation methods, fighting climate change, public transport has become more and more important, with transport justice principles ensuring that the resources of the public transport sector are being fairly distributed across society. Heavily drawing on transport justice theory as
The present thesis analyses the political and cultural ideas, as well as the narrative, articulated in the mid of the 19th century by prominent members of the student movement actively engaged in the pan-nationalistic, ideological current of scandinavianism. The research’s empirical material that conveys the narrative and idéas of the student movement was written and published in the early 1840s b
The overall theme for this thesis is circular economy and how it relates to resilience, specifically urban and economic resilience, by using Uppsala municipality as a case study. By conducting semi-structured interviews with municipal connected employees, along with analysing relevant municipal documents and statements, this paper examines how these two concepts relate to one another in a practica
Den tekniska utvecklingen har möjliggjort nya former av sexuella övergrepp mot barn, där fysiskt möte mellan förövare och barn ofta helt uteblir. Detta har lett till olika typer av utmaningar till det straffrättsliga system som länge varit inriktat på fysiska övergrepp. Trots att forskning visar att digitala övergrepp kan orsaka ett psykiskt lidande som är jämförbart med de vid fysiska handlingar,Advancements in technology have enabled new forms of child sexual abuse, where physical contact between the perpetrator and the child is entirely absent. This development challenged a criminal justice system which has historically focused on physical offences. Research shows that children that have been subjected to online sexual abuse often experience psychological harm that is just as severe as
This master thesis investigates the synthesis, structural characterization and electrochemical performance of copper(II) oxide (CuO) and cobalt-doped CuO nanofibers as electrocatalysts for the electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NO3-RR). The overarching aim is to assess their potential for sustainable ammonia production under ambient conditions. A series of exploratory synthesis trials rev
Title: Where Identity Meets Meaning - An interpretivist qualitative case study on identity construction in mission-driven non-profit organisations Authors: Leonie Erika Renate Brake and Emily Florentine Horn Supervisor: Stefan Sveningsson, Professor of Business Administration Lund University School of Economics and Management, Sweden Submission Date: 25th of May 2025 Purpose: This study aims to un
We are at a critical point where the carbon emissions worldwide must cease. One way to do so is to switch to renewable energy and become less dependent on fossil fuels. Solar power is an energy source which can be expanded rather quickly, and has become more common in the past years. The issue with large scale solar power plants is that they take up a lot of space, which leads to conflict of inter
The use of picture storybooks has the potential to foster children’s environmental awareness and promote behavioural change, but little is known about their connection to the local context, particularly in Vietnam. This thesis presents a qualitative content analysis of sixteen children’s picture storybooks with environmental themes written by Vietnamese authors and illustrators, examining how they
