FinTech payment solutions have become an embedded part of Generation Z’s everyday life in Sweden, yet how trust is formed among these users remains unclear. Existing research often treats trust as a unidimensional construct and assumes that greater knowledge leads to more informed behaviour. This qualitative study investigates how the interaction between digital fluency and digital literacy shapes
Biodiversity hotspots are biogeographic regions exceptionally rich in endemic species showing high rates of habitat loss, making them the priority of global conservation efforts. As part of the biodiversity hotspot with the highest density of endemic species, the West Usambara Mountains in Tanzania require an efficient and resourceful monitoring solution. This thesis aimed to model the tree specie
By investigating feminised lifestyle trends such as the ‘Clean Girl’ and ‘Trad Wife’, this research seeks to unpack the distinct identity tensions young women experience when navigating the contradiction between the ideal of ‘consuming less’ and the continuous consumption required to perform these lifestyles online. The empirical material is analysed through an integrated theoretical framework com
This study investigates if socio-economic indicators can reliably be derived from remotely sensed data and can serve as proxies for detecting and monitoring the spatial impacts of the violent conflict in the Mopti region of Mali. Traditional conflict event databases - like the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) – provide point-based event data but often fail to capture gradua
Denna studie undersöker hur användningen av generativ AI påverkar systemutvecklares arbetssätt och professionella roll. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i att AI-verktyg i allt större utsträckning används för kodgenerering, felsökning och lösningsförslag, vilket förändrar relationen mellan mänskligt arbete och tekniskt stöd. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med yrkesverksamma systemutvecklare analyseras h
The present study employed a mixed-methods design to examine meaningful work, workplace social capital, and turnover intention among paid youth counselors in a Danish nonprofit mental health organization. In prosocial nonprofit work, meaningfulness may be closely tied to the purpose of the work, yet intentions to remain may also reflect the social and organizational conditions under which work is
Needle traits are key indicators of plant physiological status and play an important role in ecosystem modelling and carbon flux estimations. This study investigates how specific leaf area (SLA), needle length and the carbon to nitrogen ratio (C:N) vary across canopy height (vertical gradient) and needle age (temporal gradient) in Norway spruce (Picea abies). The study was conducted on two contras
The Arctic is warming rapidly leading to the development of new thermokarst landscape features. Among the most rapidly developing landforms are retrogressive thaw slumps. The largest known thaw slump is the Batagay megaslump located in the Sakha republic, Russia. This thesis aims to assess the thaw slumps growth’ and yearly retreat rates through systematic digitization of openly accessible satelli
Microplastics are becoming an increasingly bigger problem, and there are currently around 150 million tons of plastic in the ocean. Most plastic in the ocean was released on land and then transported to the ocean. There are, however, microplastics released directly into the ocean, for example from boat paint. This study will investigate paint microplastic released from the storage area in a Swedis
Detta arbete undersökte vilken av Honesty-Humility och machiavellianism som var den starkaste förklaringsmodellen för emotionell manipulation i sociala interaktioner. Metoden var en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie med 163 deltagare som besvarade en enkät som bestod av tre självskattningstester: HEXACO med 60 items, MACH-IV och Emotional Manipulation Scale. Resultaten visade att båda förklaringsmodellThis study aimed to explore which model between Honesty-Humility and machiavellianism that best could explain emotional manipulation in social interactions. The method was a quantitative cross-sectional study with 163 participants who answered a survey that consisted of three self-report tests: HEXACO with 60 items, MACH-IV and Emotional Manipulation Scale (EMS). The result showed that both models
This study investigates the technical and organizational challenges Swedish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) encounter when generating and managing environmental data through information systems for sustainability reporting under increasing ESG and CSRD-related value-chain demands. The study focuses on SMEs that are not directly subject to mandatory CSRD reporting but are affected through
This study investigates transactional friction in Instagram’s informal social commerce environment defined as the cumulative operational, cognitive, and trust-related effort that small-scale sellers and their buyers must expend to complete a commercial transaction through direct messaging in the absence of integrated platform support. Instagram is highly effective at generating purchase intent
Teacher shortages and occupational strain have increased interest in understanding the factors that support long-term teacher sustainability. Drawing on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model and the Sustainable Working Life for All Ages (SwAge) framework, this study examined how organizational demands and resources relate to teacher professional sustainability in Hungary and Sweden. Professional
This study examines the underlying qualities of young adult students' judgments on Swedish drug policy by conducting and analysing six interviews with students at Lund University. Deploying thematic analysis, this study explores the moral boundaries and social values underpinning the explicit opinions of the interviewees. The analysis is further informed by theories on moral regulation, the po
Svensk välfärd är under förhandling med ett ökande antal välfärdsproducenter som inträder i fältet. Denna studie undersöker Svenska kyrkans samtida samhällsposition i en svensk kontext som utmärks av ett fasthållande vid religiös tradition och hög sekularisering. Studien antar ett institutionellt perspektiv med hjälp av teorin om institutionell isomorfi. Materialet bygger empiriskt på sex semistru
How well an urban flood model performs in predicting water depth and flow depends on the quality and resolution of its input data. Yet, the sensitivity of the model, particularly the relative sensitivity to elevation data and land cover resolutions, remains to be sufficiently understood. This study evaluates sensitivity of the TFM-DYN flood model to varying spatial resolutions of its input digital
Universitet och kurs: Logistics Service Management, Campus Helsingborg, Lunds Universitet. LGMK65 VT 2026. Examensarbete för kandidatexamen, 15p. Problemområde: Tidigare forskning visar att dagens lagerverksamhet riskerar att bli sårbar på grund av en ensidig strävan att låta maskiner ersätta människor, istället för att främja ett organiskt samarbete. Det finns därför behov av att förstå hur överg
As digital communication has transformed how people read, words now routinely appear alongside pictographic symbols such as emojis. How the reading system processes these mixed displays, and whether such processing is universal across language backgrounds, remains unclear. This study examined how emojis are semantically processed during sentence reading and whether the reader's language backgr
