In the past decades, China's rise has set off a shift from the unipolar era, rendering the South China Sea (SCS) a theatre for revived great power rivalry. In this environment, the behavior of secondary states navigating the heavy seas of the SCS dispute has drawn significant academic attention to the study of small and middle-power strategy. This thesis focused on the strategic response emplo

The global pandemic COVID-19 made it impossible for psychodynamic psychotherapists to continue with in-person psychotherapy and they had to transform their work to the digital platform. There is a research gap regarding psychodynamic psychotherapists experiences of video-delivered psychotherapy which is emergent to investigate since previous research has shown that the therapeutic relationship suf

Tacit knowledge is valuable because of its hard imitability, this also creates the challenge of spreading it to other employees in the organization. This study describes the phenomenon of tacit knowledge sharing (TKS) in project-based engineering organizations (PBEOs) and is directed at practitioners to allow them to improve their role as facilitators of TKS. PBEOs manage research and design proje

The aim of this study was to explore the usage of psychological knowledge in primary school teaching in Sweden. The study is based on APA’s theoretical framework “Top 20 principles from psychology for prek-12 teaching and learning”, and is part of an EU research project aiming to improve the supportive role of psychology and psychologists in school. To answer the research questions of this study a

Har ditt intresse för friluftsliv och att vistas ute i naturen ökat under Covid-19 pandemin? Har du ”hemestrat” eller naturtturistat i Sverige istället för att åka till Grekland under sommaren? Du är inte ensam om det utan del av en ny global trend där allt fler väljer att upptäcka de naturvärden som finns hemma. Till följd av reserestriktioner och rekommendationer att socialisera utomhus har intDuring the spring of 2020 the world was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic which led to unpredicted and interesting effects in the domestic tourism sector. As a result of travel restrictions and social distancing recommendations there was an increase in visitors to national parks, hiking trails and other recreational areas in Sweden. The amount of visitors to the High Coast trail located in the east of

In the last decade, Indonesia has seen a series of massive social media activism, especially on Twitter. As the activists strive to make their social movement visible on Twitter, they also face some threats due to the uncertainty of Twitter algorithms and potential surveillance. As many scholars have studied the role of social media algorithms for activism, this study intends to investigate the be

Adaptive structures adapt to the changing circumstances in their environment using sensors and actuators, they may for example change their shape to be optimised for a specific load case when that load case is present. The building industry need to reduce its climate impact, low-carbon solutions are in demand. Structures must be designed so that the design load does not cause failure, due to stres

Abstract Hydrogen as an alternative energy carrier has been up for discussion over decades. Perhaps this time, however, the political momentum and global technical context could be advantageous enough for the hydrogen economy to finally materialize. Despite investments from the EU commission up to €470 billion in renewable hydrogen, there are economical challenges in the way of decarbonisation of

This thesis strives to dive deeper within the area of Monocular Depth Estimation, approximating distance information from one single image using deep neural networks. It introduces a thorough evaluation and analysis of state-of-the-art depth estimation models regarding proposed aspects of relevance for downstream video applications, specifically in a surveillance domain. This leads to three custom

Merger control is an important component of competition law in the EU. There are two levels of merger control in the EU. The first level is EU merger control for transactions that have an EU dimension, which fall within the jurisdiction of the Commission under the EU Merger Regulation. The second level is national merger control for transactions which do not meet the criteria of the EU Merger Regu

The comprehensive use of plastic globally has raised many questions about how it will affect living organisms once it is disposed of and reaches the ecosystem. Disposing of plastic in high amounts without recycling could lead to several toxic effects for aquatic organisms and eventually humans. Accumulation of plastic for a long time leads to its aggregation and/or degradation into small sizes in

Denna studie har kommit fram till att e-konsumenter äger en bristande kunskap om miljöpåverkan av returer och influeras av liberala returpolicyer, men även av den bristande produktinformationen upplevd inom e-handeln. Dessa faktorer resulterar i att e-konsumenter återspeglar en stark ansvarslöshet gentemot de negativa effekterna av returer. Vilket motsvarar resonemangen för att förklara attityd-be

Commercialising low-carbon innovations implies complex issues to be managed but is a necessity to attain a transition of industries for a sustainable future. This thesis investigates how an innovator can facilitate the adoption of their low-carbon innovation among stakeholders within the food industry. The case of Volta Greentech’s commercialisation of methane-reducing feed supplement for cattle i

The site of the project is located in Ådalen, a stretch along Ångermanälven in northern Sweden. A region that during the 19th century grew and flourished through the wood industry only to stagnate and be phased out in the middle of the 20th century. After that the region has been fraught with closures and population decline. In relation to the industries that have existed in the region, I have c

Åtgärder för minskning av kolpartiklar i åar Organiskt material (humuspartiklar) från förmultnade växtdelar har ökat i svenska åar. När organiskt material transporteras ut till havet och bryts ned av bakterier kan det bildas döda havsbottnar på grund av syrebrist på bottnen. Denna studie har sett att våtmarker möjligtvis kan minska mängden organiskt material i åar och därmed undvika att döda boAn increase of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from rivers into coastal waters has been observed in previous studies, leading to an increase in hypoxic zonesin coastal areas when the bioavailable fraction of the DOC is degraded causing harm to ecosystems and negatively affecting ecosystem services vital for society. The first part of this study investigates if constructed wetlands can be used a

MAX IV is a synchrotron facility currently running 14 beamlines hosting about 1000 users per year. It is one of the best of its kind; producing high quality Xrays at the forefront of synchrotron science. To have a beamline or a synchrotron functional, every equipment used needs to be placed in the workspace with high precision. In the current setup, this is supported by bluelining, a technique to

This study explores the relationship between online education and student grades at Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) during the COVID-19 pandemic. By investigating the learning environment's impact on student grades in this setting, we can take advantage of the recommendations of online education in higher education in Sweden, which resulted in an unprecedented sample
