Avoiding exceeding planetary boundaries, while still achieving a decent standard of living for all is a global challenge represented in the so-called doughnut model. Policies for local mobility in line with the doughnut model, will lead to less and slower mobility for many people. This paper contributes to doughnut literature with insights regarding people’s visions of life with doughnut-inspired
Over-reliance in high-risk industries on prescriptive emergency procedures and the capacity of high-fidelity simulation has initiated the search for new steps for training for unexpected and escalating situations. This chapter outlines a theoretical framework describing the adaptive and flexible competencies that add up to an organisation’s resilience in escalating situations. To make the framewor
Nineteen new, presumably apomictic species of Hieracium sect.

The potential for information and communication technology (ICT) to support the delivery of social services, and the possible benefits afforded, have been acknowledged in numerous studies. The many obstacles to the adoption and integration of ICT into social services have also been documented. This paper provides a summary of those issues as the backdrop to the description of a study conducted to
Cold extremes bring significant uncertainties to the energy system. Their strong spatiotemporal coupling introduces growing challenges to the adequacy and flexibility of the power and heating supply, complicating risk identification and mitigation. Therefore, this paper presents a framework for spatiotemporal risk assessment and resistance enhancement under cold extremes. It captures cold-air prop
Title/Research question: Does ownership structure explain the zero-leverage puzzle? Authors: Ásta Brá Hafsteinsdóttir and Snædís Helgadóttir Supervisor: Håkan Jankensgård Theoretical framework: Modigliani and Miller Theorems, Trade-off Theory, Pecking Order Theory, Market Timing Theory, Agency theory, theories regarding ownership structure.

The aim of this study was to find out how discomycetes growing on European Marram grass, Ammophila arenaria (L.) Link, are distributed in relation to white and grey dunes. The result indicates that discomycetes are more common in the white dune area, but the difference was not statistically significant. The study also includes a genetic study of intraspecific variation in the species Albotricha ac
Means–ends decoupling, the institutionally induced implementation of ineffective practices, has become increasingly common. Extant theory suggests that means–ends decoupling has real consequences, which makes it unstable and difficult for organizations to sustain. Yet little is known of how, and with what outcomes, firms organize such means–ends decoupling. We examine organizing via multiple quali
