Deforestation and forest degradation is an environmental phenomenon affecting the entire world. In 2021 the EU Commission proposed a Regulation on Deforestation-free Products, which is expected to repeal the EU Timber Regulation in 2023. This study analyzes two of the previous legal policies implemented by the EU to curb deforestation: the FLEGT Action Plan and the EU Timber Regulation. The method

För att bekämpa klimatförändringarna krävs att fossila bränslen fasas ut snarast. Många av de sektorer som idag drivs fossilt har goda möjligheter att drivas av el från förnybara källor som sol och vind i framtiden. För det krävs dock en ökad elproduktion från dessa källor, och att vi har ett elnät som kan ta emot och fördela den kraft som produceras. Idag installeras mer och mer solceller på hustIncreasing the amount of renewable generation in distribution networks is a fundamental part of the energy transition. Multiple methods exist to increase the hosting capacity in a grid, to allow larger injections of generation and more efficiently utilize existing infrastructure before operational limits are breached. In this thesis, the method studied for this is network reconfiguration. Many dis

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the liturgical practice of giving a newly baptised person a memorial item, which is often at first hung in a so-called “baptism tree”. How are baptism trees used within the liturgy, and how do different priests interpret its role? The thesis bases its findings on in-depth interviews with four ministers, three observations of baptism, plus a questionnaire s

Today, a greater proportion of the population prefers a plant-based diet. Due to this reason, there is an increase in the production of side streams from the food industry, which are often discarded or used as food for animals. Tempeh is a plant-based product fermented with R. oligosporus that is commonly made from soybeans from Indonesia. In this thesis, side streams from food production which ar

As urbanisation continues throughout the world, issues of sustainability have been raised. Discussing ecological sustainability is becoming increasingly common, where green space in urban planning, has been given a particular function. At the same time, this sustainability goes beyond the environment and nature, since it also relates to social interaction and trust between people. The city of Malm

Various research within the field of behavioral economics have proven payment mechanisms to be affecting consumer behavior, giving rise to the question what kind of impact different shopping methods may have. This paper investigates consumer behavior with two different approaches. The first approach is comparing self scanning consumers with consumers using traditional cashier check out, and the se

Platsvarumärken blir allt mer vanliga i såväl Sverige som resten av världen, men frågan är om det är en effektiv strategi eller främst följer den strävan efter utveckling som genomsyrar dagens samhälle? I den här studien har vi försökt att lyfta fram näringslivsaktörers uppfattningar om sin regions varumärke, Familjen Helsingborg. Vi har i studien dock inte ämnat ta reda på huruvida regionsvarumär

Syns inte, finns inte – eller? Gamla synder kan ibland vara allt för lätta att glömma. Det gör dock tyvärr inte att de försvinner. Ett exempel är gamla deponier, platser där människor tidigare slängt sina sopor och förmodligen inte visste vad det kunde komma att ha för konsekvenser. I Sverige finns det ungefär 85 000 förorenade områden, alltså platser som är så pass förorenade att skada eller o

This master thesis describes the process of developing a new polyester filament for 3d-printing. Since the 3d-printing market is growing with makers all over the world it puts higher demands on the materials. The idea of the filament was a prototyping material that could produce living hinges. A second field was to visualize how different infills affect a printed model. The project was a collabora

Våra städer blir alltmer tätbebyggda och det blir mindre och mindre plats kvar. Att fylla flera funktioner på samma yta blir då ännu viktigare. Regnbäddar bidrar med mer än bara dagvattenhantering men är kunskapen tillräcklig när det saknas standardiserade riktlinjer? På senare år har en ökad urbanisering och klimatförändringar gjort att man delvis vänt blickarna från traditionella ledningssystem In recent years, the demand for new types of stormwater infrastructure has increased due to increased urbanization and climate change. Attention has been aimed at creating a sustainable and resilient stormwater management. Blue-green infrastructure is a collective name for infrastructure striving to mimic nature's natural runoff. A facility that falls within the scope of this concept is rain g

Subject-verb agreement in number (3sg - 3pl) in spoken French is a heterogeneous morpho-syntactic domain where number is expressed in some groups of verbs and in some phonological contexts only. The acquisition of this agreement is a long and gradual process (Prévost, 2009). Both children learning French as their first language (L1) and older second language (L2) learners overuse the dominant patt
