There are multiple things you can do at the public library such as study, borrow books and use the computers. The purpose of this master thesis is to understand what opinions the visitors to Lund Municipality's public library have about the process of looking for books in the library. Furthermore, it will be investigated whether the opinions differ between visitors to staffed or unstaffed libr

The purpose of this study is to investigate if the equity markets react more positively to the issuance announcement of a green bond compared to the issuance announcement of a brown bond and if the introduction of the EU taxonomy has had an effect on the announcement effects. The study contributes to the existing literature by using an updated sample of 511 bonds from 61 issuers stemming from coun

The goal of this thesis has been to develop and evaluate a proposal as how to integrate a new motor system for the top horizontal roller of an ASSA ABLOY weather shelter. This required changes to the current system, both in hardware and software. The main challenge was that the old motor could be back driven by the system, and the replacement motor could not. Thus, a solution where the new moto

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

This design project starts with the topic consumerism. We live in a commercial society, and consumerism is gradually affecting people’s thinking and behavior.In this project, I use design as a tool to get understand different aspects of consumerism and bring people some inspirations.

Homeschooling and distance education have had a tricky past in Sweden. During the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns people were made to work/study from home in a capacity they had never tried before. This opened the Swedish eyes to the pros and cons of alternative education. The aim of this study was to investigate how Swedes who follow an educational path alternative to the normal Swedish state school

This thesis examines the relationship between workplace autonomy and environmental performance. The relationship is measured through Scope 1 CO2 equivalent (CO2e) emissions and through a quantitative study. Previous research found that autonomy is not a widely researched field for environmental performance purposes. A major psychological theory about autonomy is the self-determination theory, whic

In the future atmospheric CO2 concentrations might exceed 550 ppm according to the RCP8.5 scenario by mid-century from our current 410 ppm, while our world population is projected to surpass the 9.7 billion threshold within the same time span. This challenge leads to the raising of questions addressing future food security. Elevated CO2 has been shown to not only increase photosynthetic rates in

De flesta människorna vill ha kunskap om sin omgivning, människorna som de umgås med och om framtiden; människor älskar ordning och reda. Vi bygger våra liv kring fastställda regler och rutiner sedan tidig ålder. Det är kanske därför vi är så rädda för det okända, vilket är synd då många av de intressanta och underbara fenomenen i vår värld är oförutsägbara och genomsyrade av kaos. Vetenskapen harThe Lyapunov exponent is a wide-reaching and useful tool for the analysis of chaotic systems. In this thesis, we go through the necessary mathematical and computational framework to extract both the maximum Lyapunov exponent and Lyapunov spectrum for the double pendulum system. An analysis of the maximum exponent through time and the validity of Liouville's theorem were conducted, showing good

The development of energy has an impact on the evolution of travel modes. With the iterative update of electrification on private and public transportation, micro-mobility has always been one of the essential options to support cities and commuters. With the explosive growth of shared transportation in the past decade, many companies have invested in the sharing economy market. In order to crea

Den 23 september 2020 lanserade EU-kommissionen den nya asyl- och migrationspakten, där fem nya lagförslag presenteras, som bland annat syftar till att förhindra att asylsökande utan tydliga asylskäl får resa in i Europeiska unionen (EU). För att uppnå det här målet föreslår EU- kommissionen att inrätta en fas före inresa, som kommer att bestå av en fem-dagar lång screening av alla tredjelandsmedbOn the 23 September 2020 the European Commission launched the Pact on Migration and Asylum, introducing five legislative proposals, which inter alia aim at ensuring that only people with clear protection needs enter the European Union (EU). To reach this objective, the European Commission introduced a so-called pre-entry phase, consisting of firstly, the proposed screening procedure, a five-day pr

Marine materials are a potential new raw source for the production of organic and vegan leather and cushioning materials. Being a carbon sink, seaweed and marine plants like seagrass and seaweed farming activity could have a crucial role in the current environmental crisis for the absorption of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Products extracted from brown and red seaweed can be used for the prod

The entrepreneurship ecosystem in Skåne, Sweden is dynamic with many activities and support for new ventures, and it boasts a wide range of actors. However, there is a lack of empirical research on how the process leads to the success of entrepreneurs in terms of how productive ventures are, how beneficial it is to entrepreneurs and whether there is economic and social contribution to entrepreneur

If we think of footwear as a product that our feet when we run, jump and walk bilities that could have in the future? Triggered by the trail running, this project explores the possibilities of footwear that can quickly provide users with different levels of frictional transition under varying road terrains. Through an innovative exploration of the internal structure of the footwear midsole, c

The brown bears, Ursus arctos L., in the Scandinavian peninsula were distributed in almost all counties before aimed reduction during the 1700-1900s (Swenson et al. 1995). From 1981-2013 the population increased more than five times (Chapron et al. 2014) to about 3000 individuals (Kindberg et al. 2014). The aim of the master thesis was to find the geographical expansion rate in this bear populatio

Title: Comparing single- and multi-echelon methods for inventory control of spare parts at Volvo Authors: Jakob Bengtsson & Alexander Larsson Supervisors: Johan Marklund, Lund University | Christian Beckers & Johan Lid- vall, Volvo Background: Spare parts logistics is an area particularly concerned with challenges related to inventory control. The parts are vital to secure the functionalit

Fishway construction remains a crucial measure in environmental adaption of flow barriers. A well-functioning fishway should be able to pass all naturally occurring species of fish and other aquatic fauna. A common approach when designing and dimensioning a nature-like fishway is to calculate flows with Manning’s equation but the selection and impact of Manning’s roughness coefficient lacks a robu
