Given the recent predominant role of technology and the extensive use of smartphones in today’s society, the mobile device has become a major part of consumers’ daily lives. As a result, the lines between humans and technology have become blurred, where the effectiveness of interpersonal interactions at the service encounter in retail stores has been questioned. The researchers thus identified a k

This thesis intends to explain the change of strategies to address coca plantation in Colombia before and after the 2016 Peace agreement. To do so, I build a theoretical model that draws on securitization/de-securitization theory and ripeness/readiness theories. The former theory is used to explain what kind of change was there between the different strategies. In this sense, I claim that policies

The 1st of August 2018, Denmark became one in the line of European countries that during the last decade have introduced a ban towards face covering in public places. Even though this ban is formulated in a general way, which includes all face coverings that prevent others from noticing facial expressions, the debate surrounding the ban have been concentrated around women who wears full cover veil

Den här uppsatsen undersöker förhållandet mellan internationella finansiella institutioner, mänskliga rättigheter och miljö. I kampen mot klimatförändringar har hållbar finansiering lyfts fram som en åtgärd för att stödja skiftet till en hållbar ekonomi. Internationella finansiella institutioner är centrala aktörer i omväxlingen mot en hållbar ekonomi och utgör de främsta tillhandahållarna av offeThis thesis examines the relationship between international finance and environmental rights, and how the concept of sustainable finance has emerged as a response to climate change and the rapid transition towards a sustainable economy. Multilateral development banks (MDBs) are a key player in the transition to a green economy, contributing to 68% of global climate finance. Thus, MBDs are the majo

Kvinnor är en relativt outforskad grupp inom sportsociologin och forskning om fotbollssupporterskap. Denna studie ämnar att fylla de kunskapsluckor som idag finns genom att undersöka kvinnors upplevelser av supporterkulturen. I fortsättning av en tidigare skriven uppsats nyttjas en teoretisk modell om kvinnors avvikarkarriär i supporterkulturen för att vidare förstå kvinnans väg in i supporterskap

Skåne kan ha dubbelt så höga utsläpp av växthusgaser. Ett nytt examensarbete visar att länet har mycket högre utsläpp än tidigare rapporterat. Beroende på hur man räknar verkar utsläppen dessutom inte minskat som man tidigare har rapporterat. Det kan finnas en risk att rapporterade utsläppen sjunker medan de indirekta utsläppen som inte rapporteras istället ökar. Denna risk bygger på att vi säljeThis report will analyse an emission monitoring strategy for Skåne in Sweden, as anthropogenic global warming will have a significant environmental impact on the society. Sweden has a great potential for lowering greenhouse gas emissions as a nation. The monitoring of greenhouse emissions within Sweden shows that the trend is slowly coming down. However, new methodologies of monitoring show that c

Thesis purpose: This research investigates the effect of six specific consumers’ characteristics, i.e. fashion leadership, shopping enjoyment, instrumental and terminal materialism, green selfidentity, and social influence susceptibility, on consumers’ attitude towards a product-service system (a use-PSS) in the form of second-hand clothing rental. The relationship between attitude and consumers’

Många av oss sitter nog hemma på kammaren och funderar på hur vi kan bidra till en hållbar utveckling. Vi hör återkommande om de klimathot vi står inför och matas med uppgifter om det ansvar politiker, branscher och individer bär i frågan. Samtidigt är det många som uppfattar att samhället inte agerar helhjärtat. Kanske för att många trots uppmaningar inte vet hur? Med hjälp av teorin nudging, vilThe purpose of this study was to analyze how Retuna Återbruksgalleria by using Nudging, a behavioural theory, could operate as an environmental educator and attain a sustainable consumer which together could result in competitiveness on the market. Four different nudging tools was analyzed; simplification and framing of information, changes in the physical environment, the default option and the u

This project documentation presents an overview of the design process of the master thesis of Elisabeth Langer and Lisa Laugs at Lund University, School of Industrial Design. The topic of the master thesis was rainwater harvesting, which was first explored through extensive research and analysis. This topic is highly relevant as several aspects such as population growth, urbanisation, and climate

By observing a horse´s shape and movement you can get information about signs of disease. From a veterinary perspective the progression of new scientific methods and technological advances towards the field of equine motion and shape analysis may help with diagnosis, early detection of diseases, improving the chances of successful treatment and thereby offer overall benefits to the welfare of hors

I takt med att jordens befolkning växer ökar samtidigt den totala efterfrågan på mat. Större press sätts på jordbruket att se till så att man kan möta denna efterfrågan och försörja en större population. Men det räcker inte enbart att kunna producera så mycket mat som man kan, det ska samtidigt göras på ett så ansvarsfullt och hållbart sätt för miljön som möjligt. Jordbruket har hittills varit beThis report summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of organic and conventional farming from an environmental and sustainable perspective. A sustainable agriculture system needs to be able to meet a higher demand for food due to a growing population and minimize the damage of the environment at the same time. The main critic to the organic farming system is that it produces lower yields than

Det blir allt mer vanligt att äta ute på restaurang. Dessa nya konsumtionsvanor sätter högre krav på att livsmedelsföretagen levererar säkra livsmedel. För att informera konsumenterna om livsmedelsföretagens livsmedelshantering har Malmö stad infört ett frivilligt premieringsystem som kallas för Smiley. Malmö stad har tidigare genomfört studier som fokuserar på vad konsumenterna anser om premieriConsumers today are much more mobile and are therefore eating out at restaurants much more than they used to do. These new consumer habits put greater demands on food businesses supplying safe food. In order to inform the consumers of the food businesses that have excellent food service, the city of Malmö introduced a reward system called Smiley. The City of Malmö has previously conducted studies

In this master thesis, combinations of noise-canceling LNA and harmonic-rejection mixers are investigated and compared to find an optimal inductorless receiver front-end for low-band (600-960MHz) FDD LTE-A network. The work was carried out in a modem development project at Ericsson Modems, Lund. Three receiver versions with different harmonic rejection techniques are compared in terms of noise fig

Improvements in Internet technology, development of multimedia applications, protocols and improvement in user devices have led to the popularity of multimedia applications, among which video streaming applications are most popular. Streaming video services are sensitive to network conditions, thus making Quality of Experience (QoE) of end users sensitive to network conditions. QoE is affected by

Stormwater from urban areas contain a number of pollutants, among which nitrogen and phosphorous have been of lesser focus. In this study I aim to investigate if biochar has the potential to fill the role as water filter in urban areas, and to pin point what should be experimentally investigated in order to evaluate biochar in comparison to two contemporary filter systems: bioreactors and chalk fi

This study is a comparison between the two natural textile fibers cotton and hemp. A comparison of the various phases in the fibers’ respective lifecycles is prepared by compiling and organizing data in a MET- matrix. This matrix is then analyzed in order to discern what environmental effects are associated with each textile fiber. Apart from raising concerns regarding the fact that sustainable fi
