Craft brewery leaders for transformation towards sustainability? A case study of transformative qualities, and hindering or enabling factors for action in craft brewery leaders in Sweden and Germany.

The internal dimension of an individual is a potential deep leverage point for a collective change toward sustainability that is currently overlooked. Especially in their professional context, certain individuals can create change beyond themselves and the enterprise subjected to them. The environment of individuals, however, influences the activated potential of individuals for contributing to th

Where there is road, there is fire (influence): An exploratory study on the influence of roads in the spatial patterns of Swedish wildfires of 2018

Studiens fokus är på skogsbränderna i Sverige år 2018, då tio gånger mer markyta påverkades av bränder än genomsnittet under föregående år. Syftet med studien är att undersöka en bred forskningsfråga: har vägar en påverkan på storleken hos den brända ytan i en löpeld? Studien bygger på tidigare forskning om hur spridningen av löpeld påverkas av vägar. Bland olika statistiska metoder valdes slutlig

Climate change and Banking regulation: How Swedish professionals think about regulating climate-related risk drivers

Syfte: Denna masteruppsats ämnar att deskriptivt beskriva hur bankanställda och experter på bankregleringsområdet ser på de regleringen av de finansiella risker som härrör från klimatförändringarna. Material och metod: Semistrukturerade expertintervjuer genomfördes med fem bankanställda från svenska banker av olika storlek samt med fyra experter på bankreglering och en expert på översvämningar oc

Between theory and practice: Multifunctionality as a key concept for sustainable forest management? A systematic literature review of multifunctional forest management in Germany, Sweden, and Finland.

The intensification of forest management over the recent decades, in combination with the effects of a warming climate, leaves forestry and forest management with the challenging task of maintaining forest ecosystems’ further abilities to provide ecosystem services. By systematically reviewing peer- reviewed academic literature this study analyzes the concept of multifunctionality and its applicat

Protecting animals, until dinner? Investigating the existence of Meat-Related Cognitive Dissonance among veterinary students in Sweden

Even though animal farming is one of the leading causes of climate change and more people in the west are raising concerns over animal welfare, meat consumption here is high and expected to rise. This thesis examines the reasoning and tensions that arise when omnivores’ dietary choices clash with their love for animals by studying how the concept of the meat paradox and cognitive dissonance theory

Difficulties in emotion regulation and internalizing symptoms in Swedish youth

Psykologisk forskning har under de senaste årtiondena rört sig bort från att se psykopatologi som distinkta diagnostiska kategorier och istället rört sig mot en hierarkisk, dimensionell modell där en empiriskt grundad struktur bygger på gemensamma faktorer mellan psykiatriska syndrom. Nya verktyg, som den andra versionen av The Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS- II), har utvecklatPsychological research has in the last few decades moved away from viewing psychopathology as distinct categories towards a hierarchical, dimensional model where an empirically based structure reflects the similarities among disorders. New tools, such as the second version of The Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS-II) have been developed to capture this dimensionality. In this time

“We have to adapt and find the best solution for this context.“ - A Comparative Case Study of the Patterns of Success in two Swedish Technical Assistance Projects with Kenyan Government Agencies

Technical assistance to public sector organisations is a much-debated topic and showcases a considerable size in contemporary international development assistance. Yet, the empirical evidence base on which factors contribute to the outcomes of projects within this field is surprisingly slim and diffuse. Particularly, the mechanisms through which different factors affect project outcomes remains un

Opportunity framing - Critical junctures and tough choices in the MedTech industry in Sweden

Background: In today’s competitive market, renewal through innovation is of utmost importance to stay relevant. Creating a start-up is associated with great uncertainty and doing so within the heavily regulated MedTech industry, puts even higher demands on a start-up. Purpose: The purpose of this master thesis is to identify issues and challenges facing MedTech start-ups in the different phases o

Changes in the plant community and inferred environmental drivers at three spatial scales in Scania, Sweden 1960–2021

Dramatiska floraförändringar i Skåne Floran i centrala Skåne har förändrats dramatiskt de senaste 60 åren. I mitten av 1900-talet dominerades landskapet av ängs- och betesmarker, högmossar och lövskog. Idag har både jordbruket och skogsbruket intensifierats, och många av ängs- och betesmarkerna hävdas inte längre, samtidigt som införda växter, förvildade från trädgårdar, har spridits i landskapeChanged land-use, nitrogen deposition, climate change, and the spread of non-native species have repeatedly been reported as the main drivers of floristic changes in northern Europe. However, the relevance of the geographical scale at which floristic changes are observed, is less studied and understood. Here, I assess the changes in species richness and species composition in the central parts of

Global Rankings in Swedish Universities : A Qualitative Study of Knowledge Management Practices

During the past two decades, the higher education sector has undergone rapid changes as a result of which many higher education institutions (HEIs) find themselves being compared to other institutions. Global rankings have become the prime mechanism for providing such comparisons. How nations and their HEIs respond to the developments in the higher education sector is context-specific. There is a

How brownification and eutrophication effects a drinking water source – with Lake Bolmen, Sweden, in focus

Kan förhöjda halter av näring och humusämnen från jordbruksmark och skog påverka kvalitén på vårt dricksvatten? Försämrad vattenkvalitet, ökade farliga algblomningar och minskad biodiversitet kan vara framtiden för våra vattendrag, på grund av de miljöförändringar vi står inför idag. I detta projekt undersökte jag hur framtiden kan se ut för en av våra sjöar vi får dricksvatten från här i söder,The ongoing human impact in form of deforestation, urbanization and intense agriculture is affecting the natural hydrology and our freshwater lakes negatively. Both eutrophication and brownification has seen to increase with the ongoing environmental change which can potentially have large impact on our freshwater ecosystems. Using a mesocosm experiment, this study investigates the individual and

A re-investigation of hummocky moraine formed from ice sheet decay using geomorphological and sedimentological evidence in the Vomb area, southern Sweden

Glaciala sediment- och landformskonstellationer har länge använts för att rekonstruera inlandsisens dynamik och rörelser under Kvartärperioden, specifikt så för den senaste glaciationen i norra Europa och södra Skandinavien. En sådan sediment- och landformskonstellation är ’småkullig morän’, som tidigare har använts som en övergripande och beskrivande term starkt associerad med dödisutsmältning ocGlacial sediment-landform assemblages have long been used to reconstruct the dynamics of ice sheets throughout the Quaternary time period, particularly so for the period of the last glaciation in northern Europe and southern Scandinavia. One such sediment-landform assemblage is hummocky moraine, which has previously been used as an all-encompassing descriptive terminology strongly associated with

More Than Just Money - The Experiences and Perceptions of Remittance-Sending from the Perspective of Syrian Migrants Settled in Sweden

This study explores the qualitative aspects of remittance-sending. The central premise is that remittances are a concept that is socially embedded and therefore needs to be explored beyond its fiscal characteristics. The research contends that there is a gap in qualitative research where remittance-senders are concerned and argues that it is essential to understand the experiences and perceptions

Structural investigation of ductile deformations across the Frontal Wedge south of Lake Vättern, southern Sweden

Deformationszonen kallad ”Frontal wedge” är ett system av N-S branta och vertikala deformationszoner i gränsen mellan Svekonorvegiska och Sekorareliska provincen, i södra Sverige. Ursprung av dessa strukturer är inte fullt förstått och under de senaste årtiondena har endast ett fåtal undersökningar gjorts på dessa deformationszoner. Det finns flera olika tolkningar och modeller för bildandet av st
