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

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) communication aims to get stakeholders' buy-in, especially consumers. However, the mainstream CSR definition comes from a corporate perspective, and consumers' understanding of CSR is overlooked in cur-rent literature. This study challenged the dominant CSR interpretation through an at-tempt to discover consumers' perceptions of CSR practices. The

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

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

Mycket är känt gällande kopplingar mellan boendemiljöer och psykisk hälsa, men hur det ser ut i en svensk kontext är inte lika utforskat. Högskole- och universitetsstudenter har visat sig vara en sårbar grupp gällande psykisk hälsa, och COVID-19 pandemin har ytterligare belyst behovet av att utforska hur det relaterar till boendemiljöer då studenter spenderat mer tid än tidigare i sina hem. Sålede

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

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

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

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

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

For the sense of well-being and human health, a pleasant indoor environment is essential. Today, people spend about 90 % of their time indoors, meaning that they can be significantly affected by the buildings in which they spend most of their time. Older people are bound to spend more time indoors and also as they belong to the most sensitive age group, their indoor environments as elderly homes m

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

With rapid urbanization and an increasing share of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions from cities, low-carbon urban transformations are critical for mitigating climate change. Local climate networks have been recognized for their potential to govern such activities. However, less is known about how such networks are implemented and managed as well as their capacity to accelerate transformative

With the calls raised in “buy clean” within green public procurement (GPP) for construction, recently, low-carbon procurement (LCP), the subset GPP is getting more and more attention. However, not many academic publications explore LCP for public buildings or infrastructure projects. Moreover, it appears that little research further investigates its influence on the decarbonization of hard-to-abat
