The effects of climate change are getting evermore severe, especially on the African continent. Actions towards the UN Agenda 2030 for sustainable development are becoming crucial, and one part of this is the energy transition. Africa has some of the world’s best conditions for solar PV and hence it is a viable option for electricity production in Kenya. The aim of this thesis is to understand th
In a future where smart mobility is increasingly common, it is not possible to rely only on the instruments for governance that have been used throughout the ages. Therefore, we need to map and investigate what opportunities exist for governance of smart mobility. The following essay therefore intends to investigate which governance instruments are used in Lund municipality for transport governanc
This thesis explores the integration of hydrogen and battery energy storage systems as a means to enhance the management of wind and solar power in the pursuit of a greener grid. The objective of the study is to identify the potential benefits and challenges associated with hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) and their role in renewable energy integration. The thesis begins with a literature rev
Hazardous substances i.e., substances of concern pose a risk to both human health and the environment. Stricter regulations and increased focus on circular economy are pushing organisations to substitute hazardous chemicals to safer alternatives. Substitution can lead to a number of benefits, for example cost reductions and competitive advantages. There has been a growing focus on substitution sin
There is a need to identify leverage points for a broader cultural transformation that addresses the root causes of the nature-climate emergency. Music and art festivals are creative free spaces outside the everyday workings of society that have the potential to plant the seeds of a holistic, sustainable future. I combine prefiguration and the three spheres of transformation in a framework to inve

Background: For any business, optimizing the supply chain is beneficial and can be a crucial competitive advantage. Additionally, the significance of optimization is eve
Several researchers have approached the subject of VUCA and the challenges of operating in a VUCA world. However, previous research seldom addresses specifically how the work can be done or how these qualities and skills can be developed. The purpose of this study is to help professionals responsible for competence development in their work to enable employees to handle a VUCA world. Therefore, th
”Läppdrill” är en för många hornister svårbemästrad avancerad teknisk färdighet. Det finns många olika beskrivna metoder för optimal inlärning. Detta arbete är en självstudie med Kopprasch etyd nr 5 som övningsmetod och utvärderad med regelbunden flexibel endoskopisk filmning av svalg och larynx under övning. Läppdrillen kunde visualiseras som en rörelse i tungan medan anspänning och rörelse i andThe ”lip trill” is for many horn players a complicated, advanced technical skill. There are many documented methods for optimal learning. This essay is a self-study using Kopprasch etude no 5 as practice routine and evaluated using repeated flexible endoscopic video documentation of the pharynx and larynx while practicing. The lip trill could be visualised as rhythmical movement of the tongue whil
In this project, a neutron delivery system for the study of free neutron oscillations at the HIBEAM beamline at the European Spallation Source (ESS) has been developed. The HIBEAM experiment is part of a two-stage program at ESS which will address open questions in physics; specifically the nature of dark matter and the observed asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the Universe. This will be
Arbetstagare och deras arbetsmiljö är ett ständigt aktuellt ämne som diskuteras i olika sammanhang. Det framkommer också dystra bilder vilka signalerar undermålig arbetsmiljö runt om på en del av landets arbetsplatser. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka arbetstagares upplevelser och dess betydelse för arbetsmiljöarbetet. Mot bakgrund av det ställs frågor kring vad som påverkar arbetstagares
The academic interest in remote work has drastically increased over recent years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing studies have proven that remote work has advantages and disadvantages for employers and employees. However, little is known about the influence of remote work and the relevant factors in the context of newcomers and their organizational socialization. Building on th
Denna masteruppstats ämnar utröna lönsamheten och de faktorer som påverkar lönsamheten vid ingåendet av en kort position i finansiella derivat på den nordiska elmarknaden samtidigt som motsvarade position anskaffas genom handel på Nord Pools day-ahead (DA) marknad och via så kallade pay-as-produce Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), samt genom tillämpandet av batterilager för att mitigera effekterna This master’s thesis aims to assess the profitability and the factors impacting the profitability of entering a short position in financial derivative contracts on the Nordic power market while procuring electricity through a pay-as-produced power purchase contract and on the day-ahead (DA) market, simultaneously the strategy utilizes a battery storage system to mitigate the effects of price spike
An important factor in preventing food waste is the ability to provide a product with a package according to its needs. The packaging material, in turn, needs to be recyclable in order to contribute to a circular use of materials rather than becoming waste. The aim of this thesis is to examine the difference between the current and future packaging material of coffee produced by Zoégas. The curren
Strong narrowband interference can significantly degrade the sensitivity of wideband receivers by driving front-end circuitry into nonlinear operation. This thesis presents the design, fabrication, and measurement of a 2 – 4.4 GHz electrically tunable varactor-based bandstop filter that can follow and block such narrowband interference before it causes problems in the receiver. It was developed us
This thesis examines political consumerism as a political tool for change. Consumers' attitudes and behaviour towards political consumerism is of special interest. The method used is a questionnaire with 59 participating students. Their answers are analysed both quantitatively and, to a lesser degree, qualitatively. The theoretical framework consists of Fishbein and Ajzen's theory of reaso

Cross-border health care within the EU has been available through legislation since 2004. In Sweden, being in the top of the class when it comes to using healthcare abroad, only 0.0032% of those in line for specialist care use the opportunity. In this essay we capture a broader understanding of what factors might inhibit Swedes to seek health care in other EU countries. The study is a qualitative

I dagens Sverige aktualiseras allt oftare frågan om hur straffrätten ska förhålla sig till allvarlig brottslighet som begås av barn och unga. Det är inte ovanligt att barn under straffbarhetsåldern involveras i kriminalitet, vilket har gett upphov till en kriminalpolitisk debatt om barns straffrättsliga ansvar. En mindre uppmärksammad aspekt i denna diskussion rör emellertid vilket ansvar vuxna i In contemporary Sweden, questions increasingly arise as to how criminal law should respond to serious crimes committed by children. It is not uncommon for minors below the age of criminal responsibility to be drawn into criminal activity, a development that has given rise to an extensive criminal policy debate concerning children’s criminal liability. A less examined aspect of this debate, however
