This study explored how young Swedish adults aged 20–30 describe and understand experiences of weight-based bullying during their school years, as well as their ways of coping. A qualitative design using semi-structured interviews was employed. The sample consisted of nine young adults with a mean age of 24.7 years, including two males and seven females. All participants had lived with overweight
Environmental and health risks are increasing in large Mediterranean cities like Athens, where high urban density and limited vegetation intensify the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This study analyzes the spatial patterns of surface urban heat in Athens, Greece, using satellite-derived Land Surface Temperature (LST) as a proxy for UHI conditions. LST datasets were derived from Landsat 8 thermal
Sociala medier har blivit en central arena där konsumtionsrelaterat innehåll, trender och knapphetspräglade produkter sprids i ett snabbt tempo mellan konsumenter. Samtidigt har användningen av knapphetstaktiker såsom begränsade upplagor och tidsbegränsade erbjudanden blivit allt vanligare inom marknadsföring. Tidigare forskning har främst fokuserat på sambandet mellan knapphetstaktiker, FOMO och
Denna studie undersöker hur hållbarhetsansvariga inom den svenska hotellbranschen förstår hållbarhetscertifieringars roll i branschens klimatomställning samt hur hållbarhet tolkas i relation till cirkulär ekonomi. Bakgrunden till studien är hotellbranschens centrala position i omställningen mot mer hållbara verksamheter, samtidigt som hållbarhetscertifieringar fått en allt större betydelse som ver
Denna kvalitativa studie uppmärksammar unga kvinnor i handelsbranschen och dess villkor till följd av en förändrad arbetsmarknad, där olika yrkesgrupper genomgått förändringar som lett till osäkra anställningar. Tidigare forskning uppmärksammar handelsbranschen som den bransch med flest osäkra anställningar. Handelsbranschen uppmärksammas dessutom som den bransch som sysselsätter flest kvinnor. S
Inadequate physical activity constitutes one of today's most significant public health challenges in Sweden and is associated with several physical and mental health risks. At the same time, there is growing evidence that highlights how the built environment shapes opportunities for everyday physical activity. Physical planning can therefore work as an important tool to promote public health.
This study investigates patterns of set fires and vandalism in Malmö. An aim to understand spatial, temporal, and social patterns of such phenomena underpins the study. The research questions are: “How are vandalism and set fires distributed geographically in Malmö?”, “How does the geographical distribution of crimes correlate with school holidays and vacation?” and “To what extent does socioecono
In recent years, the future of Bromma Airport in Stockholm has become a recurring and contested issue in Swedish public debate, shaped by shifting political priorities, climate ambitions and urban development needs. This thesis examines how Bromma Airport is problematized in Swedish public documents, which competing actors and discourses can be identified and how are arguments for and against clos
Public transport is essential for closing the gap between different geographical locations. The equal distribution of opportunities to travel is fundamental in both Edward Soja’s theory of spatial justice and Karel Martens’ theory of transport justice. Access to modes of transport may vary according to the socioeconomic status of the area, creating differences in transport opportunities based on l
This paper strives to compare the compact city model against modernist planning in relation to urban green spaces. When comparing two ideals that value green spaces, (i) is it possible to find differences within the green space’s quality between modernist planning and contemporary compact city planning, in correlation to human well-being? Furthermore, (ii) how can these differences further our und
Urban development today is known for being too dense and repetitive based on architecture relying on private actors and economic rationalities. Recent research in the field of planning theory explains the importance of looking at land ownership as well as property to understand urban development. The purpose of this work is to justify how the build environment is affected by different land ownersh
Almost a fifth of Sweden's current housing was built in a project called “miljonprogrammet”,which translates into “the million programme”. The morphology for these neighborhoods is acombination of high density and large recreational spaces, where the built intensity is balancedby generous open areas. Since the turn of the latest century, densification of already claimed landhas been framed and
This study examines energy poverty in the context of Skåne, with the aim of (1) investigating which indicators are used to identify energy poverty, (2) applying these indicators across municipalities to determine which ones appear to be most and least vulnerable to energy poverty. Finally, (3) to examine how municipalities perceive and characterize energy poverty and its indicators in a local cont
This thesis examines how extreme heat is understood and managed within the urban planning context of Malmö, Sweden. As climate change intensifies, heatwaves are becoming more frequent and severe, while urban heat island effects further increase temperatures in densely built environments. Despite growing health risks associated with extreme heat, the issue remains relatively underexplored in Sweden
The aim of this study has been to explore which driving forces and hindrances shape the development of solar energy in the Swedish region of Scania, but also how the development of solar energy has changed the energy system in Scania. This has been undertaken through a thematic analysis grounded in a socio-technical perspective. The thematic analysis has been applied to documents that contained st
Digitalisering och sociala medier har förändrat hur konsumenter rör sig genom kundresan. Plattformar som TikTok har bidragit till en mer komplex och icke-linjär kundresa där inspiration, informationssökning, interaktion och konsumtion sker parallellt. Samtidigt har användargenererat innehåll fått ökad betydelse för hur konsumenter värderar information och fattar köpbeslut. Mot denna bakgrund under
I de centrala delarna av södra Sverige finns ett tektoniskt gränsområde som traditionellt sett har kallats Protoginzonen. Det har agerat som gränsen mellan bergarter vilka undkommit svekonorvegisk deformation och metamorfos i öster, och bergarter som upplevt den svekonorvegiska bergskedjebildningen till väster. Norr om Vänern kallas detta gränsområde numera Sveconorwegian Frontal Deformation Zone South-central Sweden hosts a tectonic boundary region which traditionally has been called the Protogine Zone. It acts as the boundary between rocks which have escaped Sveconorwegian deformation and metamorphism to the east, and rocks affected by the Sveconorwegian orogeny to the west. North of lake Vänern, the boundary zone is nowadays referred to as the Sveconorwegian Frontal Deformation Zone. Th
This thesis examines whether the transfer of a company containing accumulated retained earnings to a shareholder benefiting from a more favourable dividend tax regime can constitute a form of structural dividend stripping under EU law. Unlike traditional dividend stripping arrangements, such as cum-ex and cum-cum transactions, these structures rely on intra-group corporate restructurings through w
Wildfire observations are increasingly important as changing wildfire regimes globally affect societies and ecosystems. Wildfire behaviour, comprising the way that wildfires spread through the landscape, connects wildfire to its physical controls and has been shown to predict other wildfire characteristics. However, observations of wildfire behaviour are limited due to the spatial and temporal res
