Recent archaeological excavations have uncovered an Iron Age temple house in Vång providing new context to the centrality of Iron Age central Blekinge in Sweden, as well as its development into the Medieval period. This thesis aims to examine how that development unfolded using the lens of affordance theory combined with a GIS assisted source pluralistic analysis. Comparing Iron Age monuments with

Climate change-induced thawing of permafrost mobilizes previously frozen carbon of high potential reactivity, thereby, fuelling microbiological production of greenhouse gases. For this work, an analysis of the quantity, quality, and bioreactivity of DOC in streams from the Stordalen discontinuous permafrost catchment was carried out with stream water samples during the relatively warm summer of 20

Through the national innovation program Viable Cities, the City of Malmö and the City of Lund in the Region Skåne of southern Sweden have recently undertaken a mission to become climate-neutral by 2030, requiring the commitment and participation of the entire local, urban system in the pursuit and uptake of bottom-up, radical solutions. While small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make up the

This paper sets out to analyse the potential effectiveness of providing complementary upper-secondary Industry Programme education. The target group of individuals is young upper-secondary graduates from general programmes that have not continued into tertiary education. Relying on economic literature on education effectiveness in general, existing aggregate public data on incomes, reports from ag

Textile industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world and fast fashion is the unsustainable practice that most consumers are following. Adopting the habit of purchasing secondhand goods can lead to a more sustainable life. However, some people still do not prefer to consume secondhand clothes because of various stigma and barriers attached to it. In order to eliminate the stigma an

Reaching intended effects of the covid-19 pandemic vaccination is dependent on both coverage rates and time. Without vaccine mandates in Sweden, communication strategists have become essential to succeed. Vaccine hesitancy is complex with reasons differing on an individual level. This makes mass communication suboptimal, but also mainly what is used due to practical reasons. Consequently, understa

Current post-carbon transition trajectories are primarily based on a belief in technical solutions wherein considerations of the citizens’ role in collective mobilisation and transformation are largely overlooked. To this end, the thesis seeks to understand how citizens can become active agents of change within transition efforts and how their political agency can be empowered accordingly. This, b

Knowledge about how the Government governs its agencies is important to ensure legitimacy of the public exercise of power, and to further develop governing methods suitable for diverse types of agencies. This study focuses on a type of agency that is perceived as particularly difficult to govern – the university. The purpose is to describe how and to what extent the Government has attempted to gov

Tavistockinspirerade grupprelationskonferenser utvecklades ur överlappande men olika teorier. Dessa är psykoanalytiska teorier, teorier om organisationer som öppna system och teorier om upplevelsebaserat lärande i organisationer. Tavistockinspirerade grupprelationskonferenser är först och främst en metod för lärande om organisationer. Syftet med studien var att få insikt i före detta konferensdeltTavistock-inspired group relations conferences (GRCs) originated from overlapping yet distinct theories. These are psychoanalytic theories, theories of organizations as open systems, and theories of experiential learning in organizations. Tavistock-inspired GRCs are, first and foremost, a method of learning about organizations. The purpose of the study was to gain insight into the experiences of f

Tumlarna utanför Kullaberg tumlar runt med fiskarna på natten! Tumlaren är del av familjen tandvalar tillsammans med delfinen och späckhuggaren. Men till skillnad från andra tandvalar så finns det många tumlare i våra svenska vatten, närmare bestämt tre populationer. Utanför Kullaberg i nordvästra skåne så rör sig framförallt Bälthavspopulationen och denna plats har visat sig vara viktig för dess

After the major populist events such as Trump and Brexit, the media politicians turned their attention to the socio-economic and political division between big cities and small countryside communities. Rural areas where right-wing populist parties have found a large part of their support have besome “left-behind places", described as forgotten and misunderstood. The question of why these popu

In order to help the rescue service to do an efficient and secure operation in complex buildings, operation plans are used. To investigate the need of an operation plan adapted for natural environment and collect information to be used at the establishment of one, a literature review and a semi-structured interview study was conducted. The interview study consisted of interviews with national park

The relationship between the Eastern Segment and Idefjorden terrane prior to the Sveconorwegian orogeny has long been debated. Evidence of a common history is minimal and localised; at the same time, the notion that the Sveconorwegian orogeny formed as a result of a collisional event is also disputed. In this thesis, I analyse a region of the Idefjorden terrane, colloquially known as ‘B-Bulan’, cl

Some of the main bottlenecks for the development and commercialization of photovoltaic/thermal hybrids are the lack of an internationally recognized standard testing procedure as well as a method to compare different hybrids with each other and with conventional alternatives. A complete methodology to characterize, simulate and evaluate concentrating photovoltaic/thermal hybrids has been proposed
