Credibility for and engagement with outlets sharing climate change news: a quantitative research of young people in Sweden

How civil society perceives climate change communication by outlets is key for sustainable development. Being predicted to get largely impacted due to climate change and having a great influence on future sustainability outcomes, young people are an important group to focus on in the field of perception and climate change communication. Therefore, this research aims to determine where young people

How to Handle Changes in Job Satisfaction Based on Workplace Setting - A Case Study of Swedish Municipalities

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations have faced significant changes regarding workplace settings, primarily a shift from in-person to remote environments. The fact that remote work is generally increasing has impacted what employees experience in work and can potentially impact their job satisfaction. Therefore, it is important to learn what has changed and how to handle the change in t

Doing the Doughnut: Exploring how Swedish multinationals develop sustainable innovations to drive transformation

This qualitative study explores whether sustainable innovation by multinational enterprises (MNEs) can lead to the transformation of existing regimes through the lens of innovation theory and doughnut economics. The study proposes a conceptual framework to evaluate the practices of businesses and the findings chart how sustainable innovation occurs within two multinational enterprises. Overall, th

Business Intelligence and Analytics for Sustainability: A Study on the Swedish Food Industry

The food industry is facing challenges in responding to the climate crisis, and research highlights the potential of using Business Intelligence & Analytics for organizations sustainability efforts. The aim of this study is to holistically map through the affordance lens, what capabilities organizations in the food industry may potentially gain by using BI&A for sustainability. The study i

Materiality and Brand Discursivity: Study case on commodities and discursive practices in the Swedish market.

This thesis analyzes the link between materiality and brand discursiveness. This study examines how material culture contributes to brand narratives' meaning and symbolic construction. For this purpose, the creation of commodities with metal obtained from molten guns is analyzed through a discursive analysis and anthropological theory. This research describes how the brands analyzed deploy dis

Evaluating Sentinel-2 based phenology and productivity data for crop monitoring in Swedish agricultural fields

Högupplöst satellitdata erbjuder intressanta möjligheter för jordbrukssektorn och för precisionsodling. Sentinel-2 är ett jordobservationssystem som med sin höga rumsliga upplösning (10x10m) möjliggör analyser även inom jordbruksfält. En produkt framställd från Sentinel-2 är fenologi och produktivitetsdata från High-Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (HR-VPP). HR-VPP är en produkt meSentinel-2 based data provides interesting opportunities for land monitoring and applications in agriculture. High-Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity (HR-VPP) is derived from Sentinel-2 data and offers up to 13 metrics. These metrics have a high spatial resolution (10x10m) and enables the possibility for in-field agricultural monitoring. The aim of this study is to evaluate four of t

Integration of Alkaline electrolysers with District Heating Networks in Sweden

Abstract Hydrogen as an alternative energy carrier has been up for discussion over decades. Perhaps this time, however, the political momentum and global technical context could be advantageous enough for the hydrogen economy to finally materialize. Despite investments from the EU commission up to €470 billion in renewable hydrogen, there are economical challenges in the way of decarbonisation of

BVOC emission variability for Norway spruce (Picea abies) in Hyltemossa, Sweden

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) are known as hydrocarbons emitted into the atmosphere from the biosphere. They have physiological and ecological functions such as communication within the plant and plant – plant, protection against environmental stress factors and defense against herbivores attack. Coniferous forests are known to produce larger quantities of BVOCs, especially terpenes,

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

Adapting Household Energy Consumption: How Consumers in Germany and Sweden Managed the European Energy Crisis

Residential energy consumption in Europe is unsustainable, relying heavily on fossil fuels and contributing to climate change. The European energy crisis, as a naturally occurring experiment, disrupted energy consumption in households due to drastically increased prices and raised public awareness while creating a unique opportunity to study the dynamics of change in household energy consumption.

Seasonal variation of LAI in Swedish coniferous forest

Leaf Area Index (LAI) is quantity representing the amount of foliage in the canopy, which makes it an important parameter for analysing terrestrial ecosystems. Traditional methods of measuring LAI were done by analysing hemispherical photographs by hand and were very time consuming, requiring specific weather conditions (Jonckheere et al. 2004). Modern methods, including remote sensing, have much

An Explorative Analysis of The Effects of Age and Gender Identity On The Relationship Between Self-Compassion, Body Image and Sexual Satisfaction in The Swedish General Population

Sexual satisfaction has been found to be closely connected to the overall life satisfaction of individuals, making it a public health issue. Most of the previous research has focused on physiological factors related to sexual satisfaction. However, evidence suggests that psychological factors are at play, and can act as protective factors against the decline in sexual satisfaction. This thesis wil

Characterization of the microbiological population and presence on Swedish greenhouse grown cucumbers during shelf life at different storage and treatment conditions

Nearly one third of the global food is wasted. Microbial spoilage is a major factor in food waste, and it can happen at any point along the supply chain. Greenhouse grown English long cucumbers, one of the most important vegetable crops grown in Europe, were studied for weight changes and the presence of microbiological populations during the shelf life in this project. The main methods used in th

Exploring Enterprise Risk Management: A Case Study with a Global Manufacturer of High Technology Products with Operations in Sweden

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), with an emphasis on risk aggregation, is conducted in practice. The thesis starts with a scoping study to review available literature on ERM. The findings from the scoping study show that literature focus on how ERM impacts certain financial variables, e.g. return on assets, return on equity, and firm value of organ

Stratigraphy and palaeoenvironment of the early Jurassic volcaniclastic strata at Djupadalsmölla, central Skåne, Sweden

Av de nästan 200 blottningarna av vulkaniska bergarter som kan ses i Central Skåne Volcanic Province (CSVP) består endast tre av vulkanoklastiskt material. Stratigrafin i dessa avlagringar vars förhållande till underliggande urberg har för första gången beskrivits i en borrkärna (KBH2) från Djupadalsmölla för att bestämma stratigrafin samt avsättningsprocessen, åldern och avsättningsmiljön. BorrkäFrom the almost 200 volcanic outcrops in the Central Skåne Volcanic Province (CSVP), only three are of volcaniclastic material. These volcanoclastics, and the transition to the underlying crystalline basement, have been investigated for the first time in a drill core (KBH2) from Djupadalsmölla in order to understand the stra-tigraphy, depositional process, age of deposition, and depositional envir
