By examining an architecture firm and a management consulting firm, this study investigates how AI influences both organizational and operational dynamics within these sectors. The research reveals that AI significantly enhances workfl
Plant-based diets have become increasingly popular as a mainstream lifestyle choice, reflecting broader societal values and an interest in ethical consumption and environmental consciousness. Social media plays an important role in popularizing plant-based diets, serving as a channel for information sharing. However, while existing literature acknowledges the link between social media and plant-ba
The decrease in fertility rate has become an increasingly pressing matter worldwide. This research employed the Copenhagen School-rooted theory of securitization in analyzing the discourse on falling fertility rates within South Korea’s defense white papers from 2012 to 2022. In contrast to the mainstream security studies, the argument is that state-specific fertility rates can be considered a thr
Prostitution har länge varit ett omdebatterat ämne där den internationella diskursen kring prostitution tagit två olika hållningar med skilda uppfattningar kring förekomsten av frivillighet inom sexhandeln. Denna diskrepans är framförallt tydlig mellan den liberala och abolitionistiska ideologin kring frivillighetsgraden hos prostituerade individer, samt gällande huruvida dessa kan anses vara offe
The study of the migratory trajectories of high skilled migrants has been a topic of enquiry for decades; nevertheless, in practice, these have not been studied in-depth. Therefore, acknowledging this research gap, this thesis aims to explore the experiences of non-EU high skilled migrants when integrating into the labour market in the context of Sweden. This is of particular relevance given that
Forests are important ecosystems worldwide and in Sweden, where over half of the land is forested. Forestry management strategies significantly impact ecosystem productivity and carbon sequestration. This study focuses on comparing two prevalent forestry management strategies: Rotation Forestry (RF), which uses clearcutting as the prevalent timber extraction method, and Continuous Cover Forestry (
With the rise of serious environmental threats brought about by climate change, governments, organizations, leaders, and academics are constantly seeking ways to address this growing concern, and the development of a circular economy model is seen as a viable solution towards ensuring environmental sustainability alongside economic growth. The concept of circular economy has been defined in a mult
Efter att den svenska riksdagen beslutade att återuppta totalförsvarsplaneringen år 2015 har vi erfarit en världsomspännande pandemi, krig i Sveriges närområde samtidigt som en stundande klimatkris blir alltmer akut. Dessa faktorer har gjort civilförsvarsförmågan och den svenska befolkningens hemberedskap till en aktuell fråga. Hur väl förberedda är vi egentligen ifall samhällets service slutaSince the Swedish parliament decided to resume the total defense planning in 2015, we have experienced a worldwide pandemic, war in the vicinity of Sweden, and an impending climate crisis becoming increasingly urgent. These factors have put civil defense capabilities and the Swedish population´s home preparedness high on the political agenda. How well-prepared are we really if societal service
Har ni någon gång suttit i en bil och sett en lastbil med den orangea skylten? Och ställt er frågan om transporten av detta farliga gods faktiskt görs på ett säkert sätt på de svenska vägarna? Att transportera farligt gods med lastbil på svenska vägar är idag något som anses nödvändigt då det handlar om att transportera ämnen som bland annat bensin, gasol och svavelsyra som behövs för både privatIn Sweden one of the most important aspects of risk consideration in land-use planning is managing risks associated with the road transport of dangerous goods. Investigating how consultants perform their risk assessments and comparing them with actual accident statistics allows for a quantitative evaluation of the quality of these assessments. The thesis compares consultants’ risk assessments with
På uppdrag från Miljöbron och Hyllstofta utreder denna rapport vilka elenergibesparande åtgärder som kan införas för Hyllstofta reningsverk. Fokus för arbetet ligger i att effektivisera applikationerna för reningsprocessen. Rapporten ger förslag på energieffektiviseringar tillsammans med beräkningsexempel på hur mycket energi som går att spara.
