Practical and structural changes alone are not enough to achieve sustainable transformation of food systems because they are influenced by people’s underlying inner dimensions. Using data from quantitative student surveys and semi-structured interviews with school workers, this study applies three spheres of transformation framework and explores what place Estonian adolescents’ inner dimensions (v

Syftet var att undersöka hur lärare upplever att generativ AI påverkar undervisningen på gymnasiet. Syftet besvarades genom att studera hur undervisningsstrategier och examinationsformer påverkats, samt vilka möjligheter och utmaningar gymnasielärare upplever med undervisningen kopplat till generativ AI. Sex kvalitativa intervjuer med gymnasielärare har genomförts och fokus har legat på deras uppl

Avfall påverkar miljön negativt på många olika sätt. Det förorenar, skadar djur och producerar växthusgaser. Stor vikt bör därför läggas på att samla in avfall för att förhindra att det förstör naturen. I Sverige bildas det år efter år ton av avfall som behöver omhändertas. En del återvinns men en klar majoritet förbränns. När man analyserat vad som slängs i restavfallet ser man att mer än hälftenThis paper explores the correlation between municipal waste amount and the degree of correctly sorted trash in the residual waste against three socioeconomic factors: Income, education level and age. The aim of this study was to investigate whether it’s possible to distinguish certain societal groups from their waste disposal behaviour in order to facilitate municipal waste management and lower th

The problem: wearable eye trackers deliver eye-tracking data on a scene video that is acquired by a camera affixed to the participant’s head. Analyzing and interpreting such head-centered data is difficult and laborious manual work. Automated methods to map eye-tracking data to a world-centered reference frame (e.g., screens and tabletops) are available. These methods usually make use of fiducial

Non-exhaust emissions from the wear of brakes, tyres, and roads have become an increasing concern in recent years, already surpassing exhaust emissions by mass in many countries. However, there is a lack of studies in the scientific literature on test methods that include both real tyre and road materials. This is crucial for accurately replicating the tribological mechanisms and resulting emissio

The 2018 Andalusian elections marked a watershed moment in Spain's democracy. Against all forecasts, Vox, founded in 2013 by disgruntled cadres of the Popular Party, the country's main conservative party, garnered 10 percent of the vote, thus becoming the first far-right party to enter a regional parliament and ushering in a new era in Spanish politics. Vox's meteoric rise culminated in the 2020 S

Water flows through time are connected to specific instances of socionatural and sociotechnical assemblages of human and non-human components. We propose the concept of “water palimpsest” in order to characterize the complex histories of chemical and metabolic alterations embodied in water flows, potentially disruptive for humans and other living beings. Through the concept of palimpsest we interp

This study aimed to examine how immigrant mothers experience parenting and raising children in a new cultural context in Sweden. Furthermore, the purpose of this study was to inquire about immigrant mothers' views regarding societal support. The study was based on a qualitative method using semi-structured interviews with seven immigrant mothers from various countries in the Middle East with e

Nyköpingsområdet, som ligger i den Mellansvenska ändmoränzonen (MSEMZ), innehåller många spridda moränryggar. Medan andra delar av MSEMZ uppvisar spår av en isframstöt under yngre dryas, saknas sådana tecken i detta område. Istället uppvisar vissa av ryggarna i Nyköpingsområdet morfologier som liknar så kallade grounding zone wedges (GZW), vilka vanligtvis bildas subakvatiskt när iskanten tillfällThe Nyköping area, located within the Middle Swedish End Moraine Zone (MSEMZ), contains numerous scattered ridges. While other parts of the MSEMZ show evidence of an ice readvance during the Younger Dryas, such features are absent in this region. Instead, some of the ridges in the Nyköping area exhibit morphologies similar to grounding zone wedges (GZW), which typically form subaqueously at tempor

This study examines how client-facing social workers experience work-related stress and how it affects their motivation and engagement in their jobs. Social work often includes high demands, emotional challenges, and limited resources, which can lead to stress and exhaustion. At the same time, many social workers remain motivated and committed to their work, which makes it important to understand

This thesis aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of compassion fatigue among social workers within the social services, with those who are working in the child and family unit. The study focused on exploring how social workers experienced compassion fatigue in their professional roles and what factors contributed to these experiences. A qualitative method was used, and data were

Infrastruktursektorn är beroende av detaljerad information om markförhållanden för att säkerställa en miljömässig och socialt hållbar utveckling. Nuvarande hydrogeologiska metoder, såsom invasiv borrning, är ofta kostsamma, tidskrävande och begränsade i geografisk täckning av ett undersökningsområde. Direktströms resistivitet och tidsdomän-inducerad polarisering (DCIP) erbjuder ett icke-invasivt, The infrastructure sector relies on detailed subsurface data for environmentally and socially responsible development. Traditional hydrogeological methods, like invasive drilling, are costly, time-consuming, and limited in spatial coverage. Direct Current resistivity and time-domain Induced Polarization (DCIP) offer a non-invasive, cost-effective and spatially extensive alternative for estimating

This thesis aims to fill a gap in the study of segmentation in advanced economies by exploring the multidimensional nature of segmentation, with a focus on migrants. It seeks to do so by studying the segmentation within institutions that constitutes the coordinated market economy of Sweden, utilising it as a national case to further understand change in advanced economies. This change is analysed

The 2015 refugee crisis saw millions of refugees arrive in Europe, eliciting mixed responses from receiving countries and, subsequently, the media. In Denmark, 2015 is widely regarded as a turning point in the way in which migration was presented in the media and discussed in political debates, going from a humanitarian to restrictive focus. The media has an essential role in distributing informat

Swedish social services and healthcare systems have been bound by law since 2010 to collaborate when a client requires multiple interventions. This is called a Coordinated Individual Plan (CIP) to prevent clients from being overlooked by healthcare and social services. There has since been published several official reports that highlight the shortcomings of CIP. Our aim of this study was to exami

This study aimed to examine how professionals understand and talk about sex in exchange for compensation, with a particular focus on how the boundary between voluntariness and vulnerability was described. The study was based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with professionals who encounter individuals with experience of selling sex. The analysis was conducted using Gayle Rubin’s theory of

In this dissertation, the extent to which predictors linked to preference for the Sweden Democrats was tested to see if they could be associated with Moderate Party and Christian Democratic party preference quantitatively, in order to inquire on supporters’ shared stances. Specifically, sentiments regarding immigration, sentiments toward LGB (Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual) groups, authoritarian value

The way in which gender inequality (GI) is conceptualized contributes to determining approaches to overcome it and, ultimately, to achieve gender equality. There has been little previous research on the conceptualization of GI by civil society organizations (CSOs). This thesis aims to improve our understanding of how CSOs conceptualize GI today, how they understand changes in how GI has been conce
