Artificial Intelligence is an expansive topic that is receiving considerable amounts of attention and funding for research, as it has the potential to have a wide-ranging effect on work, business, and society. Following from this, actors of all types, universities, companies, and others are conducting research into AI, and investigating how they can make the best use of the technology and develop

I tider av klimat- och miljökris måste vi förändra vårt sätt att leva för att bli mer motståndskraftiga och hållbara. Hållbara initiativ är viktiga för denna omställning och bör uppmuntras och stöttas av våra politiker och samhällsledare. Permakultur är ett av de lovande hållbarhetsinitiativ, som trots sin potential står inför flera hinder från kommunen för att kunna utvecklas. Den här studien undIn current times of climate crisis, we need to transform our way of living to be more resilient and sustainable. Sustainable initiatives are important for this transformation and should be encouraged and supported by our politicians and leaders. Permaculture is one of the promising sustainability initiatives, which despite its potentials, are facing multiple barriers from the municipality to devel

Investing based on environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) criteria has grown rapidly in recent years. The trend has been driven by both an increased interest in sustainability, and the fact that ESG related corporate events have been shown to influence stock prices. In tandem with this development, a number of companies has pioneered methods to quantify a firm’s ESG performance. One of thes

Eutrophication caused by nutrients such as phosphorus has become a major issue over the years. Dealing with this phenomenon is a major concern in many countries, and municipalities are establishing strict rules to cope with this problem in water bodies. However, the development of cities has a cost, and supplying the food needs of people is essential. In order to optimize agricultural lands, the u

The entrepreneurship ecosystem in Skåne, Sweden is dynamic with many activities and support for new ventures, and it boasts a wide range of actors. However, there is a lack of empirical research on how the process leads to the success of entrepreneurs in terms of how productive ventures are, how beneficial it is to entrepreneurs and whether there is economic and social contribution to entrepreneur

This paper investigates if there was an opportunistic politcal cycle in transfers and taxes in Sweden during the period 1982-2019. A regressional model with conditional effects is employed to condition the cycle on performance in an opinion poll and to account for partisan differences. Significant results are found in both transfers and taxes but for taxes, the results come into question due to li

Sweden consistently ranks among the most innovative economies in the world. Further, Sweden displays the highest venture capital per capita investments in Europe. From the literature, it can be derived that venture capital is regionally clustered, and that innovation in Sweden occurs in regional innovation systems. However, previous research provides no evidence concerning the relation between reg

Large amounts of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere are stored in forest ecosystems and its soil. Once the forest ecosystem is disturbed the release of this carbon can drive positive feedback to global warming. Humans impact the forest ecosystem through clear-cutting for wood production and other commercial purposes. Clear-cutting is still a standard forestry management method, but its effect on

The struggle of power between politicians and civil servants in relation to introduction of different administrative reforms have always been a hot topic, specifically in issues to do with delegation of administrative autonomy from a political to administrative level. Advocates of administrative autonomy argue that administrative autonomy is a good administrative reform that spikes performance, tr

Laundry as a household activity has been subject to (un)sustainable consumption studies. The majority of those studies are rooted in mainstream approaches to (un)sustainable consumption focusing on either changing individuals (e.g., their decisions, behaviors, habits) or system (e.g., infrastructure, technology). Moreover, the laundry has been predominantly studied as a washing activity. This rese

Tekniker från maskininlärning används för att undersöka grundvatten i Sverige. I den första delen av uppsatsen används artificiella neuronnätverk och beslutsträd för att förutsäga hur hög grundvattennivån kommer vara i en brunn om en månad. För att göra detta används tidigare grundvattennivåer i brunnen och i andra närliggande brunnar. Historisk data över temperatur och nederbörd används också. I We apply neural networks and random forest to study geological data. In part one of the thesis, a ground water level prediction task is performed with recurrent neural networks, random forest and vector autoregression. The input data consists of weather data and other ground water level time series. The MAE and R-squared is evaluated and the variation in performance of the neural networks is discu

The role of grammar in language teaching has been a highly debated topic for several years. With the debate on how grammar should be taught, textbooks are one way of investigating how grammar is taught currently in schools. This study investigates how grammar exercises are incorporated in English textbooks for English 6 in upper secondary in Lund. Through a questionnaire and an analysis of grammar

Serious violence that is connected to gangs has escalated drastically in Sweden in the past years. I argue that understanding the values and attractions of joining a criminal gang are crucial in order to prevent further recruitment. In order to successfully reintegrate previous gang members, increased knowledge of the exit-process is needed. Hence, this thesis is based on interviews with eight def

The stock market has come to play a larger role in many people's lives as years pass and its accessibility has come to be exponentially easier for many. Investment in publicly listed companies has become a foundation of saving and a way of managing wealth for the general public. Even though the stock market permeates many of our daily lives and is heavily monitored and regulated, there is stil
