This study investigates climate resilience and migration among Maasai pastoralists in Laikipia County, Kenya, addressing the urgent challenges posed by climate change to ecosystem-dependent livelihoods. Despite growing interest, qualitative studies linking climate impacts to human mobility outcomes among pastoralist communities remain limited. Drawing on climate resilience theory and climate-induc

I dag är det lätt att få tag på information via exempelvis internet. Befolkningen besitter allt större kunskap vad gäller den globala uppvärmningen och vad som orsakar detta samtidigt som strävan efter att förebygga detta är stort. Lagar regleras utifrån ett mer miljövänligt perspektiv där fokus ligger på att ersätta material och industriella processer med hög klimatpåverkan. Plast har länge varitLignin is a by-product from the paper industry and has shown good liquid barrier properties according to previous studies. The objective of this work was therefore to study the liquid barrier properties of hydrotropic extracted lignin through steam explosion (STEX), obtained from spruce. The lignin was dissolved in three different solvents (concentrations: acetone 65 %v/v, ethanol (EtOH) 80%v/v an

This thesis explores how climate change concern is polarised in Sweden, with the aim to increase the understanding to detect social impediments to successful progress on the issue, as well as to prevent conflictual divides. The thesis examines the distribution of climate attitudes through three different forms of polarisation: distributive opinion polarisation, group-based (opinion) polarisation,

A key strategic decision in inventory management remains whether to centralize or decentralize inventory with both decisions having their advantages and disadvantages. Most studies highlight the importance of an organizations supply chain network i

While vital to Indonesia’s economic growth, the textile industry has exacerbated textile waste generation and environmental degradation, posing urgent sustainability challenges. Rising unemployment further compounds these issues, prompting policy responses such as the Bappenas’ Circular Economy Roadmap and National Action Plan 2025–2045, which aim to drive circularity and generate employment oppor

Denna studie undersöker hur villkoren för offentliga upphandlingar, styrda av Lagen om offentlig upphandling (LOU), påverkar användarvänligheten av elektroniska journalsystem inom svensk sjukvård, med fokus på systemen Cosmic och Millennium/SDV. Genom en kvalitativ metod med intervjuer med vårdpersonal och experter, samt analys utifrån teorier som Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) och IS Success M

This has been done with a textual analysis of the protocol of the Swedish Parliament’s debates from January to March 2019. The method that’s been used is a textual analysis, and at the center of the analysis are theoretical concepts as norms and Jönson’s analysis of perspectives. The results

Achieving the Agenda 2030 requires the adoption and implementation of the goals at all levels of the government from the national to subnational level. Cambodia, as a member state of the UN, under the Cambodia Sustainable Development Goals (CSDG) Framework has also made a commitment to localise the SDGs to the subnational level. However, after the adoption of the CSDG framework in 2018, the progre

Parallel to the intensified digitization of financial transactions, an ancient informal system continues to operate in the shadows, exerting a significant influence on global financial structures. Hawala, as this system is known, is recognized for its dual nature, allowing it to function as a legitimate financial system, while its informal structure, particularly its lack of governmental oversight

In recent decades, digital markets have become one of the most significant and debated areas not only in the world of politics and economics, but also in legal doctrine and practice.

En mobilitetslösning för framtidens landsbygd Finns det alternativ eller komplement till den privatägda bilen? Skulle du som bor på eller arbetar med landsbygden våga testa och fortsätta använda ett sådant alternativ om det erbjöds? Detta testas i Skåne under ett års tid, där det dessutom visat sig att många är villiga att prova nya alternativ – när dessa görs möjliga och tillgängliga i vardagen.The transport sector contributes significantly to air pollution and requires suitable alternatives to help mitigate climate change. In the municipalities of Sjöbo, Svalöv and Tomelilla in Skåne, Sweden, Skånetrafiken is currently running a pilot project for on-demand public transport, called SkåneFlex. This study aims to examine the reasoning behind the design of SkåneFlex and to explore whether i

This thesis evaluates an ensemble-based framework for predicting stock prices using pretrained transformer models for sentiment analysis and locally trained transformers for time series forecasting. Sentiment signals were generated from financial news using FinBERT, RoBERTa, and VADER, then combined with historical stock price data from Refinitiv Eikon. To enhance label quality, a custom ensemble

This master’s thesis explores the design of monopile foundations for a conceptual offshore wind farm in the Golfo de Cádiz, Spain. It uses a one-dimensional (1D) finite element (FE) modeling approach, based on the PISA-study. With the PISAstudy, new design models are available, which replace the traditionally used p-y method. A central part of this thesis is the Abaqus software, which is used to m

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) include a large group of chemicals that has been used for many decades because of their mechanical and chemical stability. They owe these unique features due to the strong C-F bonds in their molecules. PFAS can be fully or partly fluorinated and the more fluorinated they get, the more persistent they become. They have been used in several industries such

Sjön Hummeln (57°22´N, 16°15´Ö) i sydöstra Sverige har bildats av ett nedslag, som bekräftats nyligen. I ett tidigare arbete togs en borrkärna, till 160 meters djup, upp från strukturen. Lagerföljden dokumenterades och daterades utifrån hittade mikrofossil. Dateringen blev då: kambrium – ordovicium – kambrium. De har daterat nedslaget som bildade Hummeln till ordovicium (488 – 444 Ma). Man har sen
