Japan drabbas ofta av svåra naturkatastrofer, där jordbävningar och tsunamier orsakar omfattande förödelse. Efter sådana händelser kan arkitektoniska strategier bidra både till att återuppbygga fysisk infrastruktur och stödja människors psykosociala återhämtning. Arkitektonisk resiliens definieras som byggnaders förmåga att hjälpa samhället att återgå till balans efter kraftiga störningar. DessutoJapan is frequently struck by severe natural disasters, whereas earthquakes and tsunamis inflict widespread devastation. In their aftermath, architectural strategies can help rebuild physical infrastructure while supporting survivors psychosocial recovery. Architectural resilience is defined as a building´s capacity to help society regain equilibrium after major disruptions. Moreover, the physical

I takt med att generativa AI-verktyg som ChatGPT blir allt vanligare inom högre utbildning, väcks nya frågor om deras faktiska roll i att stödja studenters självständiga lärande. Tidigare forskning har i stor utsträckning lyft fram teknologins potential, men har i lägre grad fokuserat på dess begränsningar ur studenternas perspektiv. Denna studie undersöker vilka behov i det självständiga lärandet

Efforts to regulate transnational corporations in the context of human rights are not new. They traced back to the early 1970s, when the United Nations first initiated attempts to study the impact of transnational corporations on the international development process and proposed a United Nations Code of Conduct on Transnational Corporations, an initiative that ultimately stalled. A renewed attemp

Denna studie undersökte attityder till barnfrihet i en svensk kontext, med särskilt fokus på hur barnfria kvinnor upplevde reaktioner från sin omgivning. En mixed-methods-design tillämpades. En kvantitativ enkätstudie (n = 131) mätte attityder med hjälp av en modifierad version av Attitudes Toward Voluntary Childlessness Scale. Resultaten visade att kvinnor uttryckte signifikant mer positiva attitThis study examined attitudes toward voluntary childlessness in Sweden, with a specific focus on how childfree women experience social reactions. A mixed methods approach was employed. A quantitative survey (n = 131) measured attitudes using a modified version of the Attitudes Toward Voluntary Childlessness Scale. Results showed that women held significantly more positive attitudes towards volunta

Coronapandemin ledde till en kraftig och varaktig ökning av distansarbete. Trots fördelar har det också förstärkt utmaningen med den ensamhet som ofta följer med att arbeta hemifrån. Tidigare forskning har främst fokuserat på organisatoriska strategier för att motverka detta, men kunskapen om hur distansarbetare själva hanterar känslor av ensamhet är fortfarande begränsad. Den här studien använderThe COVID-19 pandemic created a significant and ongoing rise in remote work, which, despite its benefits, has amplified the challenge of loneliness for many remote employees. While previous research has largely examined organizational strategies to combat this issue, a gap remains in understanding the independent coping mechanisms employed by remote workers themselves. This study employed a netnog

This thesis explores the potential of generative AI to recreate biological spatial systems, using termite mound structures as inspiration. Termite mounds, known for their unique internal networks and passive climate regulation, feature complex spatial logics that challenge traditional modeling techniques. This project investigates whether diffusion-based generative models can be trained to mimic s

In the face of a potential oncoming environmental collapse, in a time of increasing climate anxiety and activist disillusionment towards previous environmental efforts, I look at how a radical environmental activist group becomes and stays radical. By combining deviant and dramaturgical perspectives on social movements with Goffman’s classic work "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life&quo

Mörk materia, den osynliga och hypotetiska formen av materia som förutsägs av våra bästa teorier, har än så länge undkommit våra mest direkta detektionsförsök vilket har motiverat fysiker till att komma på nya och desto mer invecklade sätt att ta reda på dess sanna natur. Ett sådant sätt som verkar ha fångat samtligas intresse på senare år är möjligheten att detektera gravitationsvågor som skapatsWe perform a comprehensive cosmological analysis of stable scalar glueballs arising in pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theories focusing on N=3,4,5 which serve as natural candidates for models of self-interacting dark matter. The key characteristic of these theories is that they exhibit strong first-order confinement-deconfinement phase transitions which would give rise to a stochastic gravitational wave ba

Against the backdrop of the accelerated advancement of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, the global economy is moving towards a development model driven by innovation as its core. Enterprises, as important carriers of technological progress and institutional innovation, are facing increasingly fierce market competition and transformational pressures. In this pr

The construction industry plays a vital role in societal development but faces increasing demands to reduce its environmental impact, particularly the high carbon footprint associated with concrete production. Among the most widely used structural elements in buildings are concrete slabs, which are fundamental for load transfer and spatial integrity. However, these elements could be overdesigned,

I Sverige försvinner varje år ett stort antal skogslevande arter, vilket är ett allvarligt hot mot vår biologiska mångfald. Trots att skogen ofta uppfattas som en artfylld och hållbar miljö, är verkligheten en annan. Det intensiva skogsbruket har lett till en dramatisk minskning av många arters livsmiljöer. Så vad gör skogsindustrin åt saken? Denna studie lägger fokuset på skogsin- dustrins egna oThe Swedish forest is subject to significant pressure from the forestry industry. As a consequence, biodiversity is negatively affected. Sustainability reporting serves as a means for consumers and stakeholders to gain insight into companies' sustainability ef- forts. Reporting on biodiversity is relatively new compared to climate reporting and poses greater challenges in terms of quantificati

This paper compares and analyzes the government support mechanisms between China and the European Union in the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry. Research has found that China adopts a government led industrial policy, promoting rapid industrial development through fiscal subsidies, tax incentives, and administrative guidance; The EU, on the other hand, takes law as its core and supports the green

Abstract Title: How can ASSA ABLOY develop its M&A analysis with regard to supply chain synergies? Authors: Axel Johnsson and Erik Hellberg Supervisor: Andreas Norrman Examiner: Louise Bildsten Background: Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are majorly conducted with the ambition and endeavour of realizing synergies, thereby enabling the merged corporation to generate greater value compared Supply chain synergy analysis – A framework for operational M&A BY AXEL JOHNSSON & ERIK HELLBERG (May 2025) Potential synergistic effects are crucial to the decision of whether M&A transactions should be completed or not, and could be the difference between a failed and successful deal. This is why the study has produced a framework for comprehensive and accurate supply chain synergy

In recent years, forest fires have become more frequent and severe worldwide. Sweden experienced an extreme fire season in 2018, resulting in extensive burnt areas and challenges in fire suppression. With climate change such extreme fire seasons are likely to become more common, highlighting the urgent need for effective fire risk assessment tools. This study aimed to develop a simplified forest f

Public toilets are recognized by the United Nations as a basic human right, but the Swedish government is currently not fulfilling their duty to ensure right-holders’ equal and universal access to public toilets. Responsibility has then, by default, fallen to local authorities. In the case of Lund, this is the municipality. Adequate sanitation has been identified by some as a vital criteria for wh

This thesis explores how companies should manage their digital customer journey in a business-to-business context. In prior research, academic gaps related to diverse customers and internal capabilities’ influence on the digital customer journey have been identified. Thus, this thesis aims to explore how a case company should manage their digital customer journey and what internal capabilities, re

Konsumtion. Det är en nödvändighet för människors överlevnad. Samtidigt har dagens konsumtions effekter på klimatet som just försvårar framtida förutsättningar för överlevnad – för människor såväl som för andra arter. Detta till följd av bland annat de växthusgaser som släpps ut från produktionen – och förbränningen – av de produkter vi människor konsumerar. Av den genomsnittliga svenskens konsumtThe public sector is responsible for 28 percent of the average Swedish citizen’s consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe). Looking at purchasing categories with the highest GHGe, consumables – products like paper and single use items – play a significant role. The first step in becoming more circular and reducing waste is often to completely refrain from purchases when possible. However,

Centrala lägen av städerna vilka tidigare nyttjats för industri har genom ett förändrande samhälle och ekonomi kommit att lämnats orörda och i förfall. Detta medför att det idag finns attraktiva fastigheter med potentiella föroreningar i mark och byggnader vilka samhället nu önskar utnyttja för andra ändamål såsom bostäder, kontor och handel. Exploatering av dessa områden innebär stora kostnader oAttractive locations in cities, previously used for industry, have been left untouched and in disrepair due to changes in society and the economy. This situation has resulted in central properties with potentially contaminated land and buildings that society now wishes to redevelop for housing, offices and commerce. Developing these areas involves significant costs and uncertainties for potential
