Replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind, is crucial to mitigating climate change. The ambitious federal targets on offshore wind set by the United States’s (US) Biden Administration will, however, increasingly impact the 129 million citizens living within local communities in coastal regions. Achieving social acceptance is therefore critical to reaching the US’
This text is a qualitative study based on six interviews with women who have been surrogates in Denmark under the legal altruistic surrogacy model, which means that women may not receive money for being surrogates and that surrogacy may only take place through the so-called nærhedsprincip, where the parties must be in close relationships (family, close friends, etc.). Their experience of being sur
This thesis investigates the time-varying relationship between inflation and money supply using a state space model. We use an extensive dataset with data over the years 1870-2023 and analyze the countries Sweden, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The results show that the link between money supply and inflation seems to depend on the underlying inflationary and monetary regime. During pe
Forests which form a central part in climate change mitigation strategy of Sweden and as precipitation patterns shift and temperatures rise, understanding the responses of forests to these shifts becomes of paramount importance. Automatic high resolution dendrometers have allowed for the continuous measurement of tree radial stem growth and water dynamics, allowing for the forcings of meteorologic
This paper explores the role of the Swedish central bank in relation to the profitability of commercial banks. Utilizing local projection analysis, we examine the effect of policy rate and quantitative easing shocks from 2000 to 2023. Our study yields nuanced findings compared to the existing literature. In contrast to earlier studies, our findings indicate a negative effect of the policy rate on

Multiple stressors affect the Baltic Sea, such as eutrophication, deoxygenated water and pollution. Almost all stres- sors are heightened or caused by anthropogenic impact. The stressors effect has increased since the beginning of the industrialisation and increased many of the stressors. The area of interest for this thesis is Bornholmsgattet, an area located between Sweden and the Island of Bor
Stellar streams are probes of the properties of their host potentials, giving clues about the host's shape, mass and substructure. There are several observed stellar streams both around the Milky Way and around external galaxies, and they are studied thoroughly. However, the impact of (i) the properties of the progenitor cluster or dwarf galaxy that form the streams, of (ii) the streams' o
The environmental and social impacts from the textile value chain have resulted in increased interest and involvement from various stakeholders, one of which being local government. As a means to address the negative impacts of the textile industry, circular economy theory has been adopted by many stakeholders, often using the term ‘circular fashion.’ A critical component of circular fashion is a
Sammanfattning Titel: Snögubben vaknar till liv Arbetet problematiserar och belyser mitt arbetssätt inför min gestaltning som ”Snögubben” (Snowman) i Rusty Magees musikalopera ”Vinteryra” (Flurry tale). Arbetet problematiserar framför allt den klassiska sångarens utmaning i att gestalta roller inom andra genrers än opera. Med hjälp av källor i form av egna intervjuer och inspelade historiska Title: The snowman comes to life This lecture recital problematizes and explores my approach in Rusty Magees musical opera “Flurry tale”. The lecture recital primarily problematizes challenges for the classically trained singers performing roles outside of the opera genre. By the help of sources such as conducted interviews and historical recordings I present vocal approaches to performing in
Ammonia combustion in gas turbines is emerging as a carbon-free solution for the power-generation sector. The challenges associated with using ammonia as a fuel include its combustion characteristics, which can lead to instability, and the emission of NOx due to the presence of nitrogen atoms. This study examines the diffusion flames of partially cracked ammonia at low cracking degrees and the air
This study examines the relationship between the German yield curve and stock market performance in Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland by extending the Fama-French Five Factor Model with Carhart's Momentum factor and a yield curve factor. Three hypotheses are tested: the positive relationship between changes in the yield curve and excess stock returns, the lagged effect of yield curve c
The focus of this paper is linguistic imperialism and coloniality. This was researched by investigating the language attitudes of students and alumni in the language teacher programs and their professors at Lund University. The control group consisted of students at Lund University who had not studied language or linguistics. The research was conducted through a questionnaire and deeper interviews
I denna studie undersöks hur företag följer upp förväntade synergieffekter efter företagsförvärv där goodwill har redovisats och hur lärande sker. Studien har två syften. Det första syftet är att analysera hur svenska börsnoterade företag följer upp förväntade synergieffekter vid företagsförvärv. Det andra syftet är att analysera företagens lärandeprocesser efter företagsförvärv. För att samla in
Ensuring close control of critical quality attributes (CQAs), such as post-translational modifications (PTMs), in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is essential for maintaining function and batch homogeneity in large-scale production. Common PTMs include deamidation, fragmentation, oxidation, charge variants, and glycosylations. This study aimed to evaluate CQA variations and correlate the
The fight against climate change has reached a crossroads, necessitating critical assessment of the means designed to mitigate the ongoing crisis. This thesis examines the impact of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) on installation-level emissions and emissions intensities in Norway. The MSR, introduced in 2019, was designed to address the surplus of emissions allowances in the EU Emissions Tradi
This thesis investigates the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions among architects in Sweden. Architects are currently experiencing headwinds and decreased demands for their services as increasing interest rates and a weak economy have contributed to a decline in construction activity. Simultaneously, advancements in AI have introduced a range of innovative technologies to the field
A reliable forward prediction of time series data is essential for optimising resource allocation, mitigating risks, and enhancing strategic decision-making across various domains. However, the limited historical data available can pose a challenge for accurate modelling. Conversely, transformer architectures, renowned for their success in natural language tasks through zero-shot inference, demons
