The climate impact of food production plays a big part in the anthropogenic climate impact. Mitigation strategies from this sector are hence of great importance. One area which mainly has been used to calculate climate impact is albedo, the overall reflectance of incoming radiation in all directions. Albedo has been measured for a long time and is vital when calculating the energy balance of an a

Much work has established M&A capabilities and its impact on M&A performance, likewise, a great deal of research has investigated internationalization.

Today cities are the result of centuries of history and human development, accelerated during the past 100 years. Post-industrialization, modernism’s top-down city planning approach, and the prioritisation of motor vehicle design over humans resulted in more people moving to cities, more space needed to allocate new vehicles, expansion over rural areas, and exponential pollution growth. Thus, huma

This thesis examines how income affects household consumption in Sweden between 1999 and 2009. Using data from SCB, the study explores how people with different income levels spend their money on various goods and services. The analysis is based on Engel’s law, which suggests that as income increases, the share of spending on basic needs like food goes down, while spending on non-essential or luxu

This qualitative study investigates the effect that Generative AI (GenAI) tools have on students' achievement of Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) in higher education institutions (HEIs), focusing on perceptions and utilizing the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) Taxonomy. Conducting several semi-structured interviews, the study investigates the role of GenAI in potentially imp

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) include a large group of chemicals that has been used for many decades because of their mechanical and chemical stability. They owe these unique features due to the strong C-F bonds in their molecules. PFAS can be fully or partly fluorinated and the more fluorinated they get, the more persistent they become. They have been used in several industries such
