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

The modern economy has put an emphasis on team-led work in both large- and small-scale projects. This has led to ways to maximize the effectiveness of teams, with an increasing focus being put on one key concept: psychological safety. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between psychological safety and team effectiveness through the use of a cross-sectional study design on an IT p

Purpose: The purpose of this research paper is to study the promotion of non-profitable products by exploring the greater good initiatives of country branding in terms of brand identity and brand image. Design/methodology/approach: The research paper takes a qualitative approach and combines primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected through an interview. The secondary data is bas

Sverige står i dagsläget inför en brådskande energiomställning. Fossila bränsle skall fasas ut till 2045, landets kärnkraftsproduktion reduceras stadigt och samtidigt ökar energibehovet i takt med landets elektrifiering. Sverige har dock potential att miljövänligt och självständigt täcka upp för dessa avkall. Tilläget till vind- och solenergi heter Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). EGS-tekniken mThe ability to evaluate the geothermal potential at a depth of five to six kilometres in the crystalline bedrock is crucial for the EGS-technology to be utilized in the future. This work focuses primarily on presenting expected geological conditions at great depths in southwestern Scania. The study is based on information from E.ON’s deep drilling FFC-1 in Malmö and data and investigations of the

Vindar och moln har stor betydelse för jorden. Vindar är viktiga genom deras påverkan på dagens och framtida väder (och indirekt på prognoser), eftersom de kan transportera varm eller kall luft, fuktig eller torr luft, mellan olika områden och därmed bidra till att väderförhållandena rubbas så fort vindriktningen ändras. Moln är viktiga genom deras påverkan på jordens strålningsbalans. Således är In this study, about two years of data from Östergarnsholm in the Baltic Sea are used to analyse offshore low-level clouds (LLCs) influenced by low-level jets (LLJs) in the marine atmospheric boundary layer. The LLJs are passages of strong horizontal winds near the surface and are measured using a Doppler LiDAR, which provides information about the wind speed and wind direction up to 300 meters. I

Using data spanning from 1910 to 2020, house price dynamics of Stockholm and Gothenburg are found to be significantly affected by income, household debt, interest rates, construction costs and immigration. Real house prices in Stockholm and Gothenburg exhibit debt elasticities of 1.34 and 1.12, noticeably greater than their respective income elasticities of 0.24 and 0.39. Real house prices in both

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

Några utav de vanligaste orsakerna till att en brand uppkom mellan 2010 och 2020 var ”bränder som medvetet startades” samt ”bränder som startats av gnistor vid tågbromsning”. Av den totala mängden bränder som uppkom stod tågbromsning för cirka 1.1 % av dem och den anledning som stod för absolut störst andel bränder var ”bränder startade utav okänd anledning” vilket stod för 43%. KlimatförändringaForest fires can start in a variety of ways. "Fires started deliberately" and "fires started by sparks generated from a train braking" were two of the most common causes of fires between 2010 and 2020. Train braking accounted for 1.1% of all fires, whereas fires created by unknown reasons accounted for 43% of all fires. The climate is expected to change in the future, and sinc
