This thesis explores the evolution of Canadian child welfare policies through a historical lens, focusing on the impact of colonial legacies on Indigenous communities. By analyzing the key parameters of education, healthcare, child labour, and child protection across different historical periods, the study reveals how universalist narratives rooted in Eurocentric norms have systematically marginal

Second-hand-marknaden har under de senaste åren växt markant, detta på grund av ett ökat intresse hos konsumenterna. Detta konsumentintresse har i sin tur bidragit till att marknaden utvecklats från en bransch med få aktörer som drivs av välgörenhet, till en marknad med flera olika aktörer där vissa av dessa drivs av ett vinstintresse. Dessa vinstdrivande aktörer har ett mer gediget fokus på att s

I takt med ett ökat klimatarbete och ambitioner på EU-nivå i from av EU:s taxonomi, har bygg- och anläggningssektorn tagit fram en färdplan gällande omställningen för att nå nettonollutsälpp senast 2045. Som en del av utvecklingen presenterar Swedish Green Building Council att miljöcertifieringar säkerställer hållbara byggnader, vilket även stöds av tidigare forskning. Utmaningen med miljöcertifieThis study has investigated the incentives for obtaining BREEAM certification for a building. The study focused on a case of BREEAM certification at the Excellent level and compared it with the lowest energy requirements in Sweden from an energy, cost, and climate perspective. The reference object for the study is a building, soon to be finished, in Linköping Sweden intended for healthcare and res

This study investigates, from the social workers' point of view, how child poverty affects the normal development of children and young people, what strategies vulnerable children and young people use to deal with economic hardship in their everyday lives, and how the child's perspective and child poverty are understood and considered in the social work with children, young people, and fam

Lanzarote is an island that is part of the intraplate ocean island volcanism that makes up the Canary archipelago. The Timanfaya eruption (1730-36) was a crucial event in the geological history of Lanzarote. It is considered an anomaly in the volcanic record of the archipelago due to its long eruptive activity, large volume of lava and composition (alkali basalts evolving into tholeiites). The ori

This thesis uses real data from the Bank of International Settlements to create financial networks for the interbank market using five different methods for network reconstruction. The goal is to analyze how defaults propagate to assess the importance of banks and to examine how the network’s structure affects the system’s vulnerability. By applying network theory, communicability theory, and the

Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems are ubiquitous and are one of the major components responsible for energy consumption in a typical building system. In light of the imminent energy crisis, there is an increasing demand to revisit the building systems and save as much energy as possible. In this regard, the scope of the thesis is to explore opportunities for data-driven opt

This study aimed to examine how healthcare workers, who have taken part in internal reflection meetings, and counselors, who lead the meetings, describe their experience, their understanding of the purpose of these meetings, and what this means for the healthcare workers' motivation to participate in the internal reflection meetings. The method used was a case study with semi-structured interv

Climate change and biodiversity loss present critical challenges for humanity, yet biodiversity often remains overlooked in corporate sustainability strategies. This study, conducted within Schneider Electric’s environ- mental team, aims to address this gap by comparing the carbon intensity and biodiversity impacts of new production processes for aluminum and steel against conventional methods. Ut

The present study investigates the influence of psychological safety and team trust on work motivation on a small scale among Information Technology (IT) professionals in Sweden and Denmark. Data was collected from 57 participants using the survey method and the scales used were Workplace Trust Survey (WTS), Motivation at Work Scale (MAWS) and Psychological Safety Scale. The results showed a signi

The thesis focuses on the design of a laboratory setup for a 100 kW fuel cell system, intended for heavy-duty vehicle applications. The increasing interest in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells as a viable alternative for long-haul transport stems from the limitations of battery-electric vehicles, particularly due to the weight and energy density constraints of current battery technologies.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used to generate 3D cross-sections of body parts for medical diagnosis and monitoring. MRI scanners have a resolution that depends on the strength of their magnetic field, measured in Teslas (T). Most clinical scanners have a resolution of 1.5T and 3T resolution is used in wealthy hospitals and for research. A few research centers als

Esta investigación analiza la feria agroecológica UNIMINUTO, un ejemplo destacado de economía solidaria y de consumo sostenible en Bogotá, Colombia. Al utilizar la teoría de las prácticas sociales y entrevistas semi-estructuradas con 10 consumidores frecuentes, este estudio identifica las principales motivaciones de los consumidores para asistir a este espacio, que incluyen el apoyo a los productoThis research examines the UNIMINUTO agroecological fair, a prominent example of solidarity economy and sustainable consumption in Bogotá, Colombia. Employing a social practice theory lens and semi-structured interviews with ten frequent attendees, this study identifies key consumer motivations, including support for local producers, product quality, health benefits, knowledge acquisition, and the

With the acceleration of climate change and biodiversity loss in recent years, the neoliberal economic response to environmental challenges has been to integrate nature into market mechanisms, hoping to account for ecological degradation while funding nature conservation and restoration. This study critically examines the resulting financialisation of conservation, focussing on Scotland in particu

Peru grapples with severe water insecurity due to climate change and ecosystem degradation. In response, the government implemented the Ecosystem Services Compensation Mechanism for Water Security (MERESE), employing Payment for Ecosystem Services to incentivize nature-based solutions. Central to MERESE are Good Governance Platforms, multi-stakeholder bodies overseeing implementation and ensuring

This thesis explores Danish social workers' sensitivity to the risk of committing microaggressions towards nonbinary clients. The theoretical framework primarily relies on microaggression theory. As a point of departure, the author developed a Microaggression Scale for Nonbinary Clients, which includes eight microaggressions that nonbinary clients might experience from social workers. The empi

Continued digitization has seen the banking sector which is positioned as a national critical infrastructure face an ever-growing number of cyber-threats. This, has necessitated the need for proactive measures for detection and prevention, owing to an expanded threat landscape. This thesis proposes an approach centered on leveraging data analysis and Machine Learning (ML) to analyze and predict th
