Barriers and solutions to reducing the personal carbon footprint 60-70% of the global CO2-emissions are directly related to our lifestyle and changing our behaviour has a huge mitigation potential. However, many find it difficult to change their lifestyle and the factors facilitating personal behavioural change are poorly understood. This study investigates barriers and solutions to behavioural c
Water-related issues such as drought and water scarcity are problems that many countries around the world are facing. To solve this, multiple efforts have been made to combat these problems such as adopting Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) as a management approach. IWRM is a holistic approach that links different water systems and has therefore been popularized and conceptualized by man
In this study, I aim to investigate the representation of Imam Mahdi in two Shiite prayers and one salutation, ziyarat. I aim to do this from a hermeneutic interpretation, a power perspective, and in application of the theoretical concept of objectification. The purpose of this study is to analyse who Imam Mahdi is according to these texts, what the texts say about his personality and daily life,
The purpose of this study is to understand how modern media formats challenge the journalistic profession and its ideology. This purpose is achieved by studying the influencer Margaux Dietz political interviews in the Youtube series Partitempen as a typical case. The question presented in the study is thereby: Which aspects of the journalistic profession and its characteristic ideals are being cha
The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether dividends have an impact on the valuation of firms. A classic framework deeming dividends irrelevant given certain assumptions provides a rationale for investigating the subject following deviations from such assumptions. To answer the question data consisting of 222 firms listed on the Swedish stock exchange were collected and subsequently used

Bakgrund: Andelen förlossningar som induceras har fördubblats mellan 2019 och 2020. En förklaring till att induktioner har ökat beror på att man i flera regioner ändrat rutinerna för igångsättning för att minska risken för intrauterin fosterdöd. Studier visar att kvinnor som blir igångsatta tenderar att känna mer oro och vara mindre nöjda med sin vård jämfört med kvinnor som kommer igång spontant
Liksom många andra städer som är dominerade av bilar är Malmö pressat att skapa en radikal förändring mot en mer hållbar, yteffektiv och socialt rättvis rörlighet. I den här artikeln används ramverket Multiple-Level Perspective (MLP) för att analysera mobilitetsdilemmat på tre nivåer: den dominerande anledningen till förändring, förhållningssättet till förändringen och en möjlig lösning i form av Like many car-dominated cities, Malmö is pressured to enable a radical shift towards more sustainable, space-efficient, and socially just mobility. This paper uses the Multiple-Level Perspective (MLP) framework to analyze the mobility dilemma on three levels: the dominant cause for change, the approach towards it, and the possible solution in the form of mobility hubs as a niche innovation. Semi-s
Problemformulering: Internationalisering, högre volatilitet på efterfrågan och snabbare försörjningskedjor är faktorer som gör den globala kedjan mer komplex. Därför strävar organisationer efter en bättre bild av deras försörjningskedja realtidsprestanda. Därför behövs en lösning som möjliggör en bättre förståelse av komplexiteten och gör kedjan mer effektiv. Värt att nämna är att bättre synlighetProblem Definition: Internationalisation, higher demand volatility, and faster Supply Chain (SC) speed are factors that are making the global SC more complex. Therefore, organisations strive for a better picture of their SC real-time performance. Hence, a need for a solution that allows a better understanding of the complexity and makes the chain more efficient is required. It is worth mentioning
Introduktion: Premenstruellt dysforiskt syndrom drabbar kvinnor i fertil ålder och ger symtom i form av humörsvängningar, depressiva tankar och känsla av hopplöshet, vilket medför svårigheter att utföra aktiviteter i vardagen. Syfte: Att undersöka upplevelsen av aktivitetsbalans i det dagliga livet för kvinnor i fertil ålder med premenstruellt dysforiskt syndrom i Sverige, samt vilka strategier d
En hybridpark bestående av vind- och solkraft förbättrar vätgasproduktionens prestanda jämfört med ifall kraftslagen agerar separat och kan dela på samma infrastruktur. Detta examensarbete är en förstudie som granskar möjligheten för två vindkraftverk med en effekt på vardera 2 MW att kompletteras med en solcellspark för att bilda en hybridpark med vätgasproduktion. Förstudien undersöker dess tekn
The fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to environmental issues and has a significant part of plastic production due to the use of synthetic fibres. Much scientific research indicates that the fast fashion model is a significant part of using synthetic fibres; however, slow fashion brands are also using the fibres. Communicating products' sustainable footprint has become an ess
The purpose of this project is to investigate the performance of a spectrometer capable of measuring both momentum and spin of particles. More specifically, we investigated what parameters are required in order to separate particles with opposite spins at least 1 mm. This project can serve as the first step in the process of building such a spectrometer. This spectrometer takes the core principle
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), with an emphasis on risk aggregation, is conducted in practice. The thesis starts with a scoping study to review available literature on ERM. The findings from the scoping study show that literature focus on how ERM impacts certain financial variables, e.g. return on assets, return on equity, and firm value of organ
This project is an investigation of natural materials and sustainable construction techniques. It is important to implement sustainable materials to help protect the environment. Opportunities in agricultural waste were found and wheat straw in particular. Wheat straw as a building material was approached by researching its historical and future areas of use. The project presents two chairs that
Using music as a tool for teaching a foreign language has been shown to positively affect the language learning process (Balčytytė-Kurtinienė, 2018; Cañete García et al., 2022; Heidari- Shahreza & Moinzadeh, 2012), and this essay suggests that authentic English songs can be used in the teaching of EFL in lower-secondary school in Sweden to efficiently meet many aspects of the syllabus. Therefo
We utilize data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) 1 to investigate the impact of retirement on mental health in a multi-country setting. To deal with endogeneity in retirement behaviour, we employ an individual-fixed effects IV strategy where pension eligibility thresholds at which financial incentives to retire are exploited to predict retirement behaviour. The co
Bakgrund: Att vara förälder till ett barn eller ungdom med autism ställer höga krav på föräldraskapet och påverkar aktivitetsmönstret. Stor del av forskningen fokuserar på svårigheterna som följer med diagnosen men kunskapen om vad föräldrarna gör för att främja sin aktivitetsbalans är begränsad. Syfte: Att kartlägga hur föräldrar till barn och unga med autism upplever och hanterar sina barns över
The aim of this essay is to gain insight into how audiovisual input is used in the classroom as a tool to teach vocabulary. This is done by exploring the use of digital audiovisual input in the form of film, documentaries, short videos, and cultural video content in the English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom. Audiovisual input contains a few key elements: audio, video, and on-screen text; t
