Att driva ett lantbruk är som att sköta ett komplext ekosystem i miniatyr – varje beslut om mark, vatten och grödor påverkar naturen långt bortom gärdeskanterna. Men att mäta och bevisa den påverkan är ofta tidskrävande och kostsamt för lantbrukaren. Samtidigt samlar myndigheter redan in stora mängder miljödata, från vattenkvalitet till markanvändning, för helt andra syften än certifiering. Tänk oThe aim of this study was to explore the potential of using existing environmental moni-toring data as a basis for environmental certification of farms within primary agricultural production. Three research questions guided the work: which indicators of agricultural environmental impact can be identified in available monitoring data, which criteria these data must meet to be applicable in a certif

The LVU campaign refers to a wave of criticism and disinformation in Swedish and international media between 2021 and 2024 claiming that Sweden’s social services systematically remove children primarily from Muslim families without legitimate reasons. This study examines how Swedish media constructed stories about the campaign and its key actors. The purpose of this study is to identify central t

The EU Taxonomy is one of the most mature and comprehensive classification systems for sustainable activities. It aims to increase information transparency, reduce corporate greenwashing, and direct capital flows toward environmentally sustainable economic activities. Starting in 2022, companies have been required to disclose the share of their economic activities that align with the Taxonomy. Thi

The Moon’s origin is an exciting topic that many scientists believe started with a colossal collision between early Earth and a Mars-sized body. In this study, we examine the possibility that Theia, a body known to have existed, may have formed in a stable orbit between Earth and Mars, and eventually collided with our planet due to orbital changes over time. To explore this event, we use the REBOU

This thesis used the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework with the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology to evaluate the environmental performance of packaged fresh chicken. The study compared three modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) configurations, with the difference in their tray: a baseline tray and two mono-material alternatives. The LCA, with PEF guidelines where applicable, fo

The following paper analyses public participation and its form and changes in planning processes that shift from phases of temporary urban adaptations to permanent spatial transformations. Aiming to gain a deeper understanding of both the potential and practical implementation of public participation throughout such processes, a theoretical framework was created based on theories of temporary urba

Norr om Gotland ligger Fårö, en ö känd för dess säregna naturlandskap. Det är en lantlig miljö präglad av jordbruk, men också ett populärt sommarresmål för turister på grund av det vackra landskapet och den pittoreska arkitekturen. Denna popularitet kommer dock med ett högt pris. Kulturarvet köps upp och byggs om, höjda bostadspriser orsakar en befolkningsminskning samtidigt som fritidshus byggs iFårö is an island north of Gotland famous for its captivating natural landscape. It’s a rural setting characterized by agriculture, but also a popular summer destination for tourists because of the beautiful scenery and picturesque local architecture. However, the popularity comes at a cost. The cultural heritage is increasingly bought up and redeveloped, excessive housing prices cause a decline i

Residential sprinkler systems have been mandatory in newly built Swedish care homes for the elderly and group homes for people with disabilities since 2012. The regulation was introduced on the assumption that sprinklers are a cost-effective life-safety measure for a highly vulnerable population. This thesis re-examines that assumption through a three-part study: (i) a review of international stud

The Swedish needle exchange program is the result of public health policy - a policy with certain aims. Selling syringes is illegal in Sweden. The only way to acquire such paraphernalia is through one of the Swedish needle exchange programs and, by extension, be made subject to the aims and requirements of this policy. Such aims and requirements include being able to identify oneself, give blood s

BastuBaћar is a public sauna experience carved into the limestone coast of Sliema, Malta - a reimagining of the long-lost Chalet, once a beloved landmark of leisure and gathering. This project introduces an unfamiliar, experimental ritual to the Maltese Islands - a guided sauna and bathing experience open to all. A synthesis of the Swedish word for sauna and the Maltese word for sea, the project

This thesis examines social workers’ experiences of collaboration with schools and the police in preventing youth crime within the SSPF framework. A qualitative approach was applied, with data collected through six semi-structured video-call interviews. Participants were recruited through purposive and snowball sampling, and thematic analysis identified key themes related to resources, communicati

Det aktuella arbetet undersöker narrativa förmågor hos 15 flerspråkiga förskolebarn (3–5 år gamla) med arabiska som modersmål och svenska som andraspråk. Syftet är att analysera både makro- och mikrostrukturella aspekter i barns berättelser på båda språken, samt att undersöka utveckling över tid och samband med ålder vid introduktion till svenska. Datainsamlingen genomfördes vid två tillfällen medThe current work investigates the narrative abilities of fifteen multilingual preschool children (aged 3–5) with Arabic as their native language and Swedish as their second language. The aim is to analyze both macro- and microstructural aspects of children's narratives in both languages, as well as to examine development over time and associations with the age of Swedish onset. Data were colle

Unika syntesmetoder för katalysatormaterial till förnyelsebar vätgasproduktion. Hur ser kemiska reaktioner ut och hur går dem till? I detta examensarbete demonstreras hur syntesparameterar påverkar kemiska reaktioner av oorganiska nanomaterial och hur dessa kan styras för att uppnå framtidens material med önskvärda egenskaper. Kristallina nanopartiklar av nickel, arsenik och antimon studerades unTransition metal-pnictides are a select field of crystalline materials which allows property modification of common d-block metals through alloying with pnictides. Among them, Nickel-based pnictides have been gaining attention due to their earth abundance and low cost. Ni-As and Ni-Sb have both demonstrated the use as catalyst materials for the hydrogen- and oxygen evolution reactions where contro

This study examines how individuals with experience in gang-related criminality perceive and describe their transformation after leaving this lifestyle. The study investigates how their past experiences shape their prospects for social integration and identifies factors that facilitate or hinder this transition. Five semi-structured interviews were conducted with former gang members. The findings

This study shed light on, and deepen the understanding of, how artists’ personal archives are acquired and evaluated within the collecting practices of five Swedish institutions. Using the studio materials of Swedish artist Carl Johan De Geer (b. 1938) as a point of departure, interviews were conducted to identify the factors influencing potential acquisition, as well as how different types of mat

This paper examines the effectiveness of corporate derivative hedging during crises and its impact on firm value. The study uses all 500 publicly listed companies in the S&P 500 Index from 2019 to 2024 as the sample, covering the COVID-19 pandemic shock in 2020–2021. This paper uses multiple regression analysis with HC1 heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors to test whether the pandemic sho

This thesis explores how Chinese students in Sweden navigate and reconfigure the practice of eating together in transnational and digital contexts. Drawing on the theoretical framework of commensality, community, and conviviality, it examines how students sustain shared eating practices amidst cultural differences, spatial constraints, and technological mediation. Through qualitative methods inclu
