There is a growing demand from policy makers for businesses to help close the consumer intention-action gap for sustainable product choice and strengthen the green economy. Moreover, there is increased interest from consumers in brands that are transparent about their environmental impact. This is not least the case for the focus sector of this study, food products, an industry responsible for aro
I takt med den tekniska utvecklingen i samhället har forensisk bevisning, eller kriminalteknisk bevisning som det också kallas, fått en allt större betydelse inom rättsväsendet. Med forensisk bevisning avses bevis som upptäckts och värderats med hjälp av en naturvetenskaplig och/eller teknisk metod (även kallat forensisk metod). Det handlar vanligtvis om någon typ av fysiskt spår (DNA, skoavtryck,The technical development in society has made forensic evidence to become increasingly important in the judiciary. Forensic evidence refers to evidence that has been discovered and evaluated using a scientific and/or technical method (also called as a forensic method). It is usually about some type of physical trace (DNA, shoe prints, fibers, bullets from firearms, etc.) that has been left at a cr
How do neighbourhoods affect life chances? This is a question that researchers have asked in different forms as early as the 50’s –and there is no shortage of papers exploring neighbourhood effects: how where we live affects our well-being or our participation in the labour market, our life expectancy or, in general, our life outcomes. Yet, there is less consensus than one would expect from a fiel
Översvämningshotade byggnader är ett växande problem som uppkommer till följd av havsnivåhöjningen. Problemet är större i södra delar av landet, där många fastigheter riskerar att ta skada eller förstöras till följd av översvämningar. För att förbereda Skåne och Halland för framtiden behövs därför informationen hur havsnivåhöjningen kommer uttrycka sig. Detta projekt fokuserar på att samla, förval
The purpose of this study was to examine how residential care staff, comprehend and address sexuality among people with intellectual disabilities through communication and action. This study was performed with a qualitative method and seven semi-structured interviews was carried out with staff from different disability homes in Skåne. The interviews were transcribed, and analyzed according to cent
The present study is grounded upon the traditional concepts of cohesion and differentiation in fashion by Simmel (1904) and Bourdieu (1984). The study reviewed these concepts in the social context of sustainable fashion consumption, with consideration of identity construction and expression. Furthermore, the study looked at the literature on certification labels and their value for consumers. Due
Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur kompositionsprocessen kan se ut för tre skånska kompositörer av instrumental jazzmusik. Studien utfördes genom individuella intervjuer. Samtliga informanter har skrivit längre svitliknande musik för stora ensembler. Hur relaterar deras musik och process till deras personliga bakgrund som kompositörer? Hur ser arbetsföljden ut när det gäller de olika momenten
In this thesis we propose a new form of Variational Autoencoder called the Conditional Latent Space Variational Autoencoder or CL-VAE. By conditioning on a known label in a dataset we can decide what points are being mapped to what prior distribution. This makes the latent space more understandable and separates the classes further. It also subverts the tug-of-war effect between reconstruction los
Financial crises are a major issue in modern history. In a great deal of the financial crises there is a banking crisis involved. To regulate and supervise banks the Basel framework was created. With the framework, the aim is to enhance financial stability and to minimize the effect from a potential financial crisis. This paper aims to investigate if banks have changed their behavior, in terms of
The world is in transition. Europe is a Europe of transition. And so is the city; an incomplete, ever-changing and complex construct. While life itself is built upon the concept of change, organic order and vitality, society is currently finding itself struggling not to fall behind time. The Industrial Revolution has led to greater productivity and larger economic turnovers. Developments picked
Korslimmat trä, KL-trä, är ett förhållandevis nytt byggnadsmaterial i byggbranschen. Det består av ett udda antal skikt av lameller av konstruktionsvirke, där varje skikt av lameller ligger roterade 90 grader i förhållande till intilliggande skikt. Materialet används både i den bärande stommen och som stomkomplettering i form av exempelvis trappor. Idag finns endast en etablerad tillverkare på d
Just nu råder ett läge med ökade vakansgrader på äldre kontorsfastigheter och behovet av fler bostäder växer, specifikt i Sveriges storstadsregioner. Samtidigt går bygg- och fastighetsbranschen mot tider då hållbarhet och klimatmål måste sättas i fokus. Att utnyttja det befintliga fastighetsbeståndet är ett hållbart och långsiktigt alternativ till att riva eller nyproducera. Frågeställningarna i d
This thesis clarifies how the management of contaminated excavation soils can be made more sustainable and circular by applying in-situ techniques. Its aim is to map existing and emerging remediation methods, identify technical, legal and economic obstacles, and quantify potential climate and cost benefits, giving industry stakeholders a sound basis for increasing local treatment and reuse of soil
Forest ecosystems are important actors in climate change mitigation strategies through their abilities to act as both carbon sinks and sources. The commonly used forest management strategy of clearcutting has been suggested to be paired with large greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the need for research on the climate effect from alternative management strategies. Rumperöd forest is managed thro
Access to financing for women entrepreneurs plays a fundamental role in the creation and development of their startups. Our study found that women founders, specifically within tech startups, face barriers and challenges when searching for and navigating different types of financing options. There is a gap in the literature regarding gender disparities in entrepreneurial finance and limitations of
The transition towards renewable energy technologies is essential to mitigate climate change. However, the intermittency of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) such as wind and solar creates seasonal imbalances in the electricity supply. To address this, inter-seasonal energy storage solutions are needed. Produced via electrolysis from excess electricity, hydrogen offers a promising storage medium. Ho
This thesis explores how sustainability-oriented venture capital firms (sVCs) evaluate sustainability-oriented early-stage startups. While sustainability has gained prominence in financial discourse, its role in early-stage venture evaluation remains diffuse. Startups with strong sustainability missions often face investor hesitation; not due to lack of relevance, but due to limited standardizatio
