Today’s linear economy with a production and consumption pattern based on a take-make-waste principle puts a large pressure on the planet’s environmental boundaries. To achieve a sustainable development a more resource-efficient and waste-reduced system must be developed. In a so called circular economy, where the aim is to decouple development from the use of scarce and linear inputs, new busines
Studien undersökte sambanden mellan hur psykologer uppfattade chefers autonomi- och kompetensstödjande tillämpning av politiska beslut och upplevt arbetsklimat samt huruvida detta predicerade arbetsmotivation och arbetskrav.

The study is based on Self-Determination Theory, which emphasizes three innate needs
The purpose of this study is to investigate if the Renewable Identification Numbers (RIN) markets have operated efficiently, a controversial and unexplored area in prior research. This is done through an event study of the retroactive introductions of the Blenders Tax Credit (BTC) and its effect on the RIN Credit Market, related commodity markets and relevant firm stocks.

The focus of this thesis is energy justice and sustainability science, and the argument is based on a case study of the Inga dams. Substantial further development of hydropower is planned at the Inga dams, located on the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of Congo. While the project will add macro-economic benefits through the additional power, benefits are limited for people living nearby, a
Social capital can be a vital resource for entrepreneurs but so far research has not addressed how it is accessed through online communication channels. This paper presents a new way of sourcing network information about Swedish entrepreneurs and consequently explores whether rural entrepreneurs utilize online social capital as much as entrepreneurs from urban or metropolitan areas do.

Studien undersöker tre gymnasielärare i musik och deras syn på skolans två huvudsakliga uppdrag: kunskapsuppdraget och demokrati- och värdegrundsuppdraget, som ämnar förbereda barn och ungdomar för deras inträde i samhällets normer och ett arbetsliv. Undersökningar visar att lärare misslyckas med demokrati- och värdegrundsuppdraget där en bidragande orsak varit att det har skett en förändring i deThe study examines three teachers of music in upper secondary school and their views on the school's two main tasks: the knowledge mission and the democracy and the fundamental values mission, which aim to prepare children and adolescents for their entry into the norms of society, and future careers. Studies show that teachers fail with the democracy and fundamental value mission, where a cont
Majoriteten av alla verksamheter idag lagrar personuppgifter i sina respektive informationssystem. Det är samtidigt inte ovanligt att det förekommer flera olika system, ibland upp emot tresiffrigt, för en och samma verksamhet. I april 2016 presenterades en ny dataskyddsförordning (GDPR) som kommer att träda i kraft i maj 2018, och vars syfte är att ge registrerade personer större kontroll och rätt
Good waste management is essential to reach a sustainable development, although it is not always easy to achieve. Historical buildings have several requirements concerning fire security, working environment and aesthetics which can make it hard for them to introduce sorting systems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the obstacles historical buildings can encounter concerning indoor waste

Forskning uppmärksammar i allt större utsträckning hållbar konsumtion i relation till ett genusperspektiv. Genusskillnader har upptäckts inom ämnet som tidigare studerats som genusneutralt och olikheterna berör både attityd respektive agerande inom hållbar konsumtion. För att konsumtionssamhället ska präglas av ett mer jämnt fördelat miljömässigt ansvarstagande behöver genusskillnaderna utjämnas.
This is a master thesis where I investigate if there is an environmental awareness, willingness and commitment in the municipal housing companies to reduce the energy use in the building sector. Furthermore I investigate if the concept passive house or some other type of low - energy houses are used as measures. The government has imposed a state investment. The main purpose of the investment su
Achieving high performance face recognition often requires large manually labeled training datasets. As such datasets can be difficult to obtain, we investigate whether smaller datasets can be augmented synthetically in order to increase performance. We use 3D morphable models to create 3D reconstructions of faces from only a single image. The 3D reconstructions are used to render new face images
The aim of this essay is to investigate how common so called Baptismal Trees are in the Church of Sweden, and analyse their origin and function, as well as inquire what role the Baptismal Tree has within the Swedish Church.

Presumtionsregeln i expropriationslagen infördes under 1970-talet. Regelns införande var ett verktyg för att genomföra ett utav flera bostadssociala mål i bostadsbristens Sverige. Denna hade som utgångspunkt i ersättningsbestämmelserna att dämpa ersättningskostnader från värden som berodde på förväntningar om en framtida ändrad markanvändning från markens tillåtna användning. Fastighetsägaren ansåThe presumption rule in the Expropriation Act was introduced in the 1970s. The introduction of the rule was a tool for implementing one of several social housing goals in a Sweden with housing shortage. On the basis of the compensation rules, this had the effect of attenuating compensation costs from values due to expectations of a future land use change from the land's permitted use. The prop
Kostnadsbesparing vid differentierade fjärrvärmeprismodeller Problem Kostnaden för fjärrvärme baseras på priskonstruktioner som varierar bland fjärrvärmeleverantörerna på den svenska marknaden, där förutsättningarna inom varje enskild kommun skiljer sig. Då fjärrvärme är det vanligast förekommande uppvärmningsalternativet för lokaler och flerbostadshus i Sverige finns det anledning att utvärdera Cost saving potential with differentiated pricing models for district heating Problem The cost of district heating is based on pricing models, which varies among the district heating companies on the Swedish market, with different conditions for each municipality. Since district heating is the most common heating option for apartment buildings and commercial real estates in Sweden, there is a nee
