Power generation and stability of the Swedish electricity system 2045

På grund av energiomställningen, Sveriges mål om att ha en fossilfri elproduktion 2040 samt målet om nettonollutsläpp av växthusgaser 2045 förväntas en omfattande utbyggnad av förnybara energikällor ske. I denna rapport har därför elbehovet, potentialen för elproduktion, möjliga framtida systemproblem samt lösningar undersökts. Efter en omfattande litteraturstudie har det framkommit att elbehove

Identifying motivations and barriers to vegetarian diets--An exploratory study on young internationals in Sweden

Our current food system is a significant contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, land and water use, biodiversity loss among other issues. In order to achieve the sustainability agendas, a shift in the food system is required. With livestock production responsible for up a considerable amount of food system GHG emissions, diets with reduced meat consumption are suggested to be

Impact of wind on litterfall in a coniferous forest of southern Sweden

This thesis analyses relationships between the litterfall components needles, twigs, flowers, fruits, and total litterfall and climate variables (wind speed, air temperature, relative humidity, and precipitation) in a coniferous forest located in southern Sweden. Needles, twigs, and total litterfall were positively correlated with daily average as well as maximum wind speed, whereas negatively cor

Flood risk assessment using GIS and multi-criteria analysis: a pilot study from Rönne å River basin, Scania, Sweden

Following the flooding event in Ringsjön within the Rönne å river basin in January 2024, this catchment area was utilized for a flood risk assessment. The study focused on the precipitation event during August 2023, known as Storm Hans. The flood risk assessment for the Rönne å catchment area was conducted using multi-criteria analysis (MCA) and geographical information systems (GIS). Seven factor

Assessment of Sediment Transportation Along the Southern and Eastern Coast of Scania, Sweden: A Case Study of Storm Babet

The majority of the coastal area of Scania is highly susceptible to sediment transportation. Due to various influences which are both human induced and natural, the morphology of coastal dunes often alters. Therefore, it is important to assess these changes, especially after major cyclonic storms such as the storm Babet in order to get a comprehensive understanding of the aftermath. The purpose of

The significance of gender in the application of the Care of Abusers (special provision) Act: a critical discourse analysis of the Swedish County Administrative Courts cases

The purpose of this thesis is to analytically examine and investigate if male and female have no meaning with regards to the County Administrative Courts descriptions and assessments in cases regarding the Care of Abusers (special provision) Act (LVM). It is to investigate if notions of gender are expressed in these LVM-cases, and if so, how are they expressed and how can we understand these expre

A study of shock-metamorphic features in zircon from the Siljan impact structure, Sweden

För att kunna fastställa om en misstänkt nedslagsstruktur verkligen bildats genom ett meteoritnedslag så används så kallade chockstrukturer som planar deformation features (PDFs) och i vissa fall planar fractures (PFs) som indikatorer. Tidigare studier har visat att kvarts och kalifältspat från nedslagsstrukturen Siljansringen innehåller bland annat PDFs. I denna studie har zirkon från samma lokalShock-metamorphic features such as planar deformation features (PDFs) and in some cases planar fractures (PFs) are widely used as impact-indicators when to confirm a suspected impact structure. These features only develop when exposed to a sudden and immense pressure and temperature increase in association with meteorite impacts. In previous studies, quartz and k-feldspar containing PDFs have been

Assessment of the relationship between the Photochemical Reflectance Index and Light Use Efficiency : a study of its seasonal and diurnal variation in a sub-arctic birch forest, Abisko, Sweden

Fotosyntes, vilket beskriver upptaget av koldioxid från atmosfären av vegetationen, är nyckeln till den naturliga förmildringen av den antropogena klimatförändringen. Dess korrekta skattning är därför av avgörande betydelse för korrekta bedömningar av den globala kolbalansen och förståelsen av det globala kolets kretslopp. Detta upptag av kol kallas bruttoprimärproduktionen (Gross Primary ProductiPhotosynthesis, which describes the uptake of carbon from the atmosphere by vegetation, is key to the natural mitigation of anthropogenic climate change. Its accurate assessment is therefore of vital importance for correct estimates of the global carbon balance and the understanding of global carbon dynamics. This uptake of carbon is referred to as the gross primary productivity (GPP) and can be r

Can FAVAR improve Swedish inflation forecasting?

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether factor augmented vectorautoregression (FAVAR) models estimated using principal component analysis are able to improve monthly inflation rate forecasts for Sweden. We produce 42 forecasts for the period January 2012 to June 2015 and evaluate the forecasts by their root mean square errors as well as their ability to correctly predict the sign of t

The Predictive Power of Candlestick Patterns - An Empirical Test of Technical Indicators on the Swedish Stock Market Using GARCH-M and Bootstrapping

Genom att använda statistiska tester så testas lönsamheten och prognosförmågan av en teknisk analys strategi baserad på candlestick mönster. Analys av Candlestick mönster är en kortsiktig strategi baserad på öppnings-, hög-, låg- och stängningskurser för en finansiell tillgång. Resultaten visar att strategin inte är lönsam på kort sikt och att den inte har någon prognosförmåga när den appliceras pUsing statistical tests, the profitability and predictive power of a technical analysis strategy based on candlestick patterns is tested. Candlestick technical analysis is a short term strategy based on the open, high, low and closing prices of a financial asset. The results show that the strategy is not profitable in the short term and has no predictive power when applied to 29 OMXS30 stocks over

New Product Development: Idea Evaluation and the Differences between Ideas having High and Low Levels of Innovation. An Investigation in the Swedish Food Industry

Thesis Purpose: This study has a twofold purpose. First, the authors want to contribute to research on idea evaluation in the fuzzy front end by specifically shedding light on the food industry as this sector differs from other industries (Galizzi & Venturini, 1996; Tidd & Bessant, 2014; Triguero, Córcoles & Cuerva, 2013). Second, different evaluation criteria will be outlined for high

Energy auditing and enhanced implementation of energy efficiency strategies and actions through networks for SMEs – learning across borders in Sweden, Germany and Switzerland

Rapporten innefattar en detaljerad beskrivning och utvärdering av de existerande tyska och schweiziska nätverk för energieffektivisering. Baserat på resultatet, finns även ett förslag på en modell för energieffektiviseringsnätverk anpassad för Sverige som består av fyra faser: rekryteringsfas, energikartläggningsfas, nätverksfas och uppföljningsfas. Från studien drogs även slutsatsen att de viktig

Can dietary fat intake modify genetic associations with blood lipid level? Observations from a Swedish cohort study

Humans have for a long time contemplated the link between diet and disease. As early as 400 BC, Hippocrates, commonly referred to as the father of western medicine, stated, “let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food”. Today, a poor diet is still considered one of the major risk factors for common complex diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD refers to a class of diseases
