Wikipedia represents ‘the sum of all human knowledge’ and is becoming the authoritative source on the Internet. As a collective work, how exactly are articles created by editors? The aim of the study is to seek the answer by use of participation theory. Instead of considering the active and visible editors, the thesis attempts to shed light on the hidden side of Wikipedia through netnographical an
BVOC emissions from trees contribute to ozone and secondary aerosol formation and therefore have an impact on air quality. The two most abundant BVOCs emitted from trees are isoprene and monoterpenes. In urban areas, air pollution levels are already elevated and high rates of isoprene and monoterpene emissions from trees will potentially contribute to even higher levels of ozone and aerosols in th
This thesis aims to investigate the different mechanisms that Chinese companies in green industries used to acquire technological capabilities and how they changed over time. The thesis also aims to examine how the geographical pattern in outbound Chinese greenfield foreign direct investment has changed over time. By examining the inbound and outbound greenfield foreign direct investment pattern i
There has been little empirical study of the relationship between remittance inflows and economic growth, especially with a focus in Asia and the Pacific (APAC) region. In this paper, this relationship for 23 APAC economies is examined. A panel data set of remittances and financial development indices for the period 1990 – 2017 is set up to explore the impact of financial development on remittance
Consumer choices around plant-based diets are increasingly shaped by political values, yet most research has focused on health, environmental, or economic motives, largely overlooking the role of ideology. While political ideology and political consumerism is well-documented in European contexts, there is limited understanding of how broader ideological orientations influence sustainable food beha
Biodegradable magnesium alloys are promising candidates for orthopaedic implants due to their mechanical compatibility with bone and their bioresorbable nature. This study investigates the degradation behaviour of Mg-Zn-Zr-Ca alloys with varying zinc concentrations, focusing on how heat treatment and microstructure evolution influence corrosion resistance under physiologically relevant conditions.
Background: Growing corporate awareness of environmental and social impacts, coupled with initiatives like the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), is driving companies to address greenhouse gas emissions, particularly indirect Scope 3 emissions which often constitute the largest share of their carbon footprint. For ASSA ABLOY, Scope 3 emissions represent 99% of its total footprint, with purch
This thesis illustrates the issue of Early Forced Unions (EFUs) in Mozambique, and its intersecting aspects. The enforcement of The 2019 Law on Preventing and Combating Premature Unions is established in the country, however, demonstrates a gap between legislation and practice. Throughout this thesis, factors of EFUs will be considered - financial vulnerability, cultural and traditional norms, pat
Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is the most widely used method for producing synthetic peptides, with the solid support-known as the resin-being a critical component of the process. Redstone Separations AB, a company based in Lomma, Sweden, has developed new SPPS resins and aims to evaluate their performance compared to commercially available alternatives. In this study, Redstone ́s resins w
The coupled climate and nature crisis requires rapid mitigation that does not compromise biodiversity. Forests have the potential to improve environmental objectives in synergies depending on management. To better understand the motivations behind forest management practices among non-industrial private forest (NIPF) owners in Sweden, this study conducted a cross-sectional comparative analysis wit
Nondestructive assaying (NDA) is an important step in ensuring the safe handling of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. The assaying techniques require the use of ionizing radiation detectors to determine the activity of said fuel. One candidate detector for such use is the cerium-activated LaBr3 inorganic crystal scintillator. This scintillator offers excellent resolution, decay times and l
While women comprise the majority of the hospitality industry workforce, making 56% in the EU market, they still remain significantly underrepresented in leadership roles, with 38% in top-level roles and less than 40% in managerial positions. This gender gap is evident in the Swedish hospitality sector where the higher volume of women are concentrated in part-time roles with a lower pay and facing
Adaptation strategies can backfire and cause maladaptive outcomes, yet this is an understudied area in Swedish adaptation work, and a conceptually challenging theme with potential justice implications. The study explored the potential existence of maladaptation in Swedish municipalities in the Motala ström catchment area in collaboration with the FairWater research project, through conducting 18 q
The emergence of the New Space Economy has transformed the European space sector, fostering a surge in entrepreneurial activity known as astropreneurship. This thesis explores the key external conditions shaping the emergence and development of astropreneurial ventures in Europe, using the External Enablement Framework (EEF) to analyze how External Enablers (EEs) facilitate new venture creation. T
This thesis quantifies how everyday window opening habits affect indoor climate and heating demand in Swedish multi-family dwellings. Minute-by-minute data was analyzed that was collected for one year from 15 dwellings in northern and southern Sweden, logging window angle, air-quality indicators and temperatures indoors and outdoors. More than 17 000 discrete airing events were detected and charac

Instagram as a platform of content created by its users presents a plethora of possibilities regarding cooking in all its forms. Vegetarian cooking in particular is a reoccurring aspect of this particular body of content on Instagram. Japan as a food culture has garnered a certain infamy among non-native vegetarian tourists for being unaccommodating for their food preferences. As such, how the cou
This thesis investigates the emergence of mid-term rentals (MTRs) in Barcelona, situating them within broader political economy debates on housing financialization, assetization, and rent extraction. MTRs operate in a legal grey zone between long-term tenancy protections and short-term tourist rental laws, and have expanded rapidly in the context of digital nomadism and post-COVID mobility. While s
