This thesis investigates the relationship between automation and deindustrialisation in the context of Brazil, a developing country experiencing significant structural economic changes. While automation is often associated with productivity growth and economic advancement, its implications for employment, particularly in emerging economies, remain contested. Drawing on the Lewis 2.0 framework and
With the rapid diffusion of short video social media, a wave of rural influencers has emerged on China’s TikTok (Douyin), using short-form content to build personal brands and engage in sociocultural expression. Anchored in practice theory (Shove et al., 2012), this study adopts the “material–competence–meaning” triadic model to examine how these rural creators strategically construct personal bra
När passagerarfartyget Marco Polo gick på grund utanför Skånes kust hösten 2023 läckte olja ut i havet. Men vad händer med livet under ytan efter ett sådant oljeutsläpp? I denna studie har blåmusslor använts som naturens egna vittnen och deras skal bär på spår av hur djur anpassar sig till en förorenad värld. När ett fartyg går på grund och släpper ut olja i havet är det inte bara stränderna som Oil spills are known to cause severe ecological damage, yet the long-term effects on benthic organ-isms are still not fully understood. This study investigates how blue mussels (Mytilus edulis trossulus) were affected by the 2023 oil spill caused by the grounding of the passenger ferry Marco Polo in the Hanö bay, southern Sweden. Here I compare mussels collected from four oil-contaminated sites wi
Ett vattenskyddsområde vad är det egentligen? Jo, runt om i Sverige finns det idag områden med speciella förhållanden som är skapade för att skydda vårt grundvatten. Dessa områden har speciella regler som måste följas. Reglerna är enormt viktiga och reglerar bland annat lantbruken inom dessa områden gällande hantering och användning av kemikalier. Olika dispenser för användningen finns även inom oThis study investigates the relationship between the use of pesticides within Ängelholm Municipality’s largest water protection area and the levels of these substances in the drink-ing water. With a growing population and modern lifestyle, society has developed a de-pendency on continuous food production, which in turn has led to increased use of pesti-cides to ensure stable harvesters. This can h

In today’s world, many companies are pushed to adapt their business models in response to evolving external pressures. While business model change has received increasing attention in research, relatively little is known about how such change actually unfolds inside organizations. Responding to calls for a more dynamic view of business models, this thesis explores how strategy process factors medi
This study investigates the mechanisms driving flocculation in potato-based milk analogues, a critical quality defect arising during long-term storage. Initial hypotheses implicated starch retrogradation as the primary destabilization mechanism, given its well-documented role in plant-based systems. However, enzymatic treatment with α-amylase successfully hydrolyzed amylose (confirmed via iodine s
Välgrundade förutsägelser av olika livsmedels kvalitet och säkerhet är mycket viktiga för att förebygga matsvinn. Ofta görs dessa förutsägelser med hjälp av lagringsstudier där produkten lagras i förhållanden som simulerar produktens väg från producent till dagligvaruhandel. Dessa studier kräver mycket resurser och tid, vilket belyser behovet av accelererade hållbarhetsstudier – som är baserade påAccurate predictions about the quality and safety of food are critical to prevent food waste. Often, food is stored in conditions simulating a product’s way from production to retail, which allows producers to assess quality and safety during the product’s shelf life. These storage trials are costly and time-consuming, meaning that there is incentive to reduce the testing time. Accelerated shelf-l
This thesis examines digital nomads in Portugal, a popular destination for location-independent digital workers, through multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork conducted over winters of 2024 and 2025. The research examines digital nomads' motivations and challenges of the pursuit of freedom and mobility, loneliness and social isolation, their role in the socioeconomic impacts of gentrification, an
The study of the isomeric states of No-254 and No-255 was performed with the SuperHeavy element RECoil detector (SHREC) at the focal plane of the Berkeley Gas-filled Separator (BGS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Berkeley, USA. The Pb-208(Ca-48,xn)No-(256-x) fusion-evaporation reaction was utilised to produce both nobelium isotopes with beam energies of 230 MeV and 225 MeV, respe
Patient safety is a key component in healthcare, in particular within the widespread use of medical technology. A proactive approach to patient safety in medical technology is essential for fulfilling the healthcare system’s duty to protect patients from harm. At the department Digitalisering IT och MT at Region Skåne, all proactive patient safety efforts are currently handled manually. The aim of
Klimatfrågan tar en större och större roll i samhällsbyggnadssektorn, samtidigt står branschen för en betydande del av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. Kommunernas roll i stadsbyggandet är till följd av markägande och planmonopolet betydande, det åligger därför kommunerna att axla ett ansvar i en omställning till en mer klimatanpassad fastighetsbransch. Ett av de verktyg som kommunen kan aThe issue of climate change is taking on an increasingly prominent role in the real estate sector, while the industry itself accounts for a significant share of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Due to their land ownership and planning monopoly, municipalities play a central role in urban development and are therefore responsible for leading the transition toward a more climate adapted prop
The inauguration of President Trump in 2025 led to drastic changes in the U.S. market, notably great political as well as economical risks and uncertainties. The U.S. equity market was struck heavily by the policies, which also heavily affected global equity markets. In this case study, we study a long-short, market-neutral hedge fund situated in London, specifically HAFP (a pseudonym for the inte
Semiconductor nanowires with high refractive index have waveguiding properties that can enhance the excitation and the quantum yield of a surface-bound fluorescent molecule, and guide and directionally emit its optical signal. Prior work has shown that this allows for enhanced optical biosensing in transparent sample matrices, with advanced image analysis techniques further improving sensitivity.
Flexoelectric effect, or flexoelectricity, is an electromechanical property of materials that causes them to polarize when subjected to inhomogeneous deformation. Despite its significance in nanoscale systems, flexoelectricity remains poorly quantified in semiconductor materials. This study aims to develop a computational framework for investigating flexoelectric effects in thin-film semiconductor
As markets become increasingly fierce in competition and rapid shifts disrupt the market dynamics, the pressure on firms to be able to adapt their business models and strategies has become a crucial aspect. The thesis adopts a qualitative multiple case study approach where the purpose is to investigate how firms are adapting their business models through dynamic capabilities in the plant-based ind
