Climate change and Banking regulation: How Swedish professionals think about regulating climate-related risk drivers

Syfte: Denna masteruppsats ämnar att deskriptivt beskriva hur bankanställda och experter på bankregleringsområdet ser på de regleringen av de finansiella risker som härrör från klimatförändringarna. Material och metod: Semistrukturerade expertintervjuer genomfördes med fem bankanställda från svenska banker av olika storlek samt med fyra experter på bankreglering och en expert på översvämningar oc

Between theory and practice: Multifunctionality as a key concept for sustainable forest management? A systematic literature review of multifunctional forest management in Germany, Sweden, and Finland.

The intensification of forest management over the recent decades, in combination with the effects of a warming climate, leaves forestry and forest management with the challenging task of maintaining forest ecosystems’ further abilities to provide ecosystem services. By systematically reviewing peer- reviewed academic literature this study analyzes the concept of multifunctionality and its applicat

Protecting animals, until dinner? Investigating the existence of Meat-Related Cognitive Dissonance among veterinary students in Sweden

Even though animal farming is one of the leading causes of climate change and more people in the west are raising concerns over animal welfare, meat consumption here is high and expected to rise. This thesis examines the reasoning and tensions that arise when omnivores’ dietary choices clash with their love for animals by studying how the concept of the meat paradox and cognitive dissonance theory

Evaluating forest wildfire effect on tree increment patterns for boreonemoral forests in Sweden: A pilot study using remote sensing

The release of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) has substantially increased the global mean surface air temperature. Increases in global mean surface air temperature will lead to warmer and drier conditions, promoting more frequent, long-lasting, intense forest wildfires. The usage of remote sensing (RS) can aid in quantifying forest characteristics and large-scale changes in forest ecosystem

Difficulties in emotion regulation and internalizing symptoms in Swedish youth

Psykologisk forskning har under de senaste årtiondena rört sig bort från att se psykopatologi som distinkta diagnostiska kategorier och istället rört sig mot en hierarkisk, dimensionell modell där en empiriskt grundad struktur bygger på gemensamma faktorer mellan psykiatriska syndrom. Nya verktyg, som den andra versionen av The Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS- II), har utvecklatPsychological research has in the last few decades moved away from viewing psychopathology as distinct categories towards a hierarchical, dimensional model where an empirically based structure reflects the similarities among disorders. New tools, such as the second version of The Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS-II) have been developed to capture this dimensionality. In this time

How do national culture and slippage work on divergent CSR interpretations: a qualitative comparison between China and Sweden from a consumer’s perspective

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) communication aims to get stakeholders' buy-in, especially consumers. However, the mainstream CSR definition comes from a corporate perspective, and consumers' understanding of CSR is overlooked in cur-rent literature. This study challenged the dominant CSR interpretation through an at-tempt to discover consumers' perceptions of CSR practices. The

“We have to adapt and find the best solution for this context.“ - A Comparative Case Study of the Patterns of Success in two Swedish Technical Assistance Projects with Kenyan Government Agencies

Technical assistance to public sector organisations is a much-debated topic and showcases a considerable size in contemporary international development assistance. Yet, the empirical evidence base on which factors contribute to the outcomes of projects within this field is surprisingly slim and diffuse. Particularly, the mechanisms through which different factors affect project outcomes remains un

Opportunity framing - Critical junctures and tough choices in the MedTech industry in Sweden

Background: In today’s competitive market, renewal through innovation is of utmost importance to stay relevant. Creating a start-up is associated with great uncertainty and doing so within the heavily regulated MedTech industry, puts even higher demands on a start-up. Purpose: The purpose of this master thesis is to identify issues and challenges facing MedTech start-ups in the different phases o

The more the merrier? An exploratory study on housing satisfaction and perceived mental health in a Swedish student population

Mycket är känt gällande kopplingar mellan boendemiljöer och psykisk hälsa, men hur det ser ut i en svensk kontext är inte lika utforskat. Högskole- och universitetsstudenter har visat sig vara en sårbar grupp gällande psykisk hälsa, och COVID-19 pandemin har ytterligare belyst behovet av att utforska hur det relaterar till boendemiljöer då studenter spenderat mer tid än tidigare i sina hem. Sålede

Building the Future - A case study on creating a climate neutral construction sector in Malmö, Sweden

LFM30 - en lokal färdplan för att accelerera arbetet med att uppnå klimatneutralitet i byggbranschen Byggbranschen står för cirka en femtedel av Sveriges växthusgasutsläpp. Det är därmed en sektor inom vilket mycket kan, och måste förändras om Sverige ska kunna nå upp till de mål man åtagit sig genom den nationella implementeringen av Agenda 2030 och mål uppsatta i Parisavtalet. Sektorn är starkt

Changes in the plant community and inferred environmental drivers at three spatial scales in Scania, Sweden 1960–2021

Dramatiska floraförändringar i Skåne Floran i centrala Skåne har förändrats dramatiskt de senaste 60 åren. I mitten av 1900-talet dominerades landskapet av ängs- och betesmarker, högmossar och lövskog. Idag har både jordbruket och skogsbruket intensifierats, och många av ängs- och betesmarkerna hävdas inte längre, samtidigt som införda växter, förvildade från trädgårdar, har spridits i landskapeChanged land-use, nitrogen deposition, climate change, and the spread of non-native species have repeatedly been reported as the main drivers of floristic changes in northern Europe. However, the relevance of the geographical scale at which floristic changes are observed, is less studied and understood. Here, I assess the changes in species richness and species composition in the central parts of

Mapping wetlands in Sweden using multi-source satellite data and random forest algorithm

Wetlands are valuable ecosystems, and assets for human life, that must be regularly monitored, starting with accurately mapping their location and extent. However, an updated national inventory of wetlands is needed. The availability of multi-source data, and advanced machine learning algorithms in Google Earth Engine (GEE) offers excellent opportunities to map wetlands on a country-wide scale. Th

Global Rankings in Swedish Universities : A Qualitative Study of Knowledge Management Practices

During the past two decades, the higher education sector has undergone rapid changes as a result of which many higher education institutions (HEIs) find themselves being compared to other institutions. Global rankings have become the prime mechanism for providing such comparisons. How nations and their HEIs respond to the developments in the higher education sector is context-specific. There is a

How brownification and eutrophication effects a drinking water source – with Lake Bolmen, Sweden, in focus

Kan förhöjda halter av näring och humusämnen från jordbruksmark och skog påverka kvalitén på vårt dricksvatten? Försämrad vattenkvalitet, ökade farliga algblomningar och minskad biodiversitet kan vara framtiden för våra vattendrag, på grund av de miljöförändringar vi står inför idag. I detta projekt undersökte jag hur framtiden kan se ut för en av våra sjöar vi får dricksvatten från här i söder,The ongoing human impact in form of deforestation, urbanization and intense agriculture is affecting the natural hydrology and our freshwater lakes negatively. Both eutrophication and brownification has seen to increase with the ongoing environmental change which can potentially have large impact on our freshwater ecosystems. Using a mesocosm experiment, this study investigates the individual and
