Germanys transition to high shares of variable renewable energy (VRE) is increasingly ex-posing flaws in the country’s current electricity market design, particularly in its contin-ued use of nationally uniform wholesale pricing. This thesis investigates whether nodal pricing, where electricity prices vary locationally to reflect physical system conditions, can improve market efficiency and suppor

This thesis examines the impact of monetary policy on demand- and supply-driven inflation in Sweden between 2000 and 2024. The study extends Shapiro’s (2024) decomposition framework using a Bayesian Vector Autoregression with Time-Varying Parameters (BVAR-TVP) to decompose Swedish inflation into demand- and supply-side components. A subsequent regression analysis evaluates the effects of the Riksb

Title: The Unpacking of Female Managerial Life in Contemporary Organizations Authors: Annemijn Janien Bakker and Jana Marcie Wäller Supervisor: Stefan Sveningsson, Professor of Business Administration; Lund University School of Economics and Management, Sweden Date: 26th of May 2025 Purpose: The purpose of this research is to critically examine how leadership is constructed, experienced, and navig

This study explores the phenomenon of apologies, which has been established within western democratic societies since the late 1980s, situating public apologies as a formalised response to human rights and historical injustices. It examines how public apologies have emerged as a post-colonial mechanism, through which institutions acknowledge historical wrongdoings and engage in reconciliation effo

This thesis compares how China and the European Union (EU) regulate the abuse of market dominance in the platform economy. As digital platforms increasingly shape economic activity, both jurisdictions face challenges in curbing anti-competitive practices by dominant firms. The central research question asks what the similarities and differences in their regulatory approaches reveal about their bro

Sannolikheten att det finns en högtalare nära dig är hög. De finns där för att spela musik i en affär, för att meddela att brandlarmet har gått i byggnaden du befinner dig i eller för att berätta att tåget du ska åka med är inställt. Alla högtalare låter på lite olika sätt, de har sina egna skavanker som gör att en viss frekvens kanske låter lite mer än andra. I detta projekt har vi funderat på deThis thesis investigates the performance and feasibility of passive and active analog frequency compensation filters for audio signal processing in a distributed speaker system. One passive and one active circuit topology were investigated more thoroughly and then the active filter was realized on a PCB and evaluated with electrical, thermal and acoustic measurements. The work also resulted in tw

Artificiell intelligens omvandlar i allt högre grad organisationskommunikation genom att omforma uppgifter och interaktioner som tidigare hanterats av människor, vilket leder till strategiska förändringar i rekryteringsarbetet. Den här studien utforskar hur medarbetare inom rekrytering och marknadsföring skapar mening kring AI:s betydelse, särskilt i relation till kommunikationsprocesser, employerArtificial intelligence is increasingly transforming organizational communication by reshaping tasks and interactions once managed by humans, prompting strategic shifts in recruitment workflows. This study explores how employees in recruitment and marketing make sense of AI’s significance, particularly in relation to communication processes, employer branding and professional identity. Through an

This thesis investigates the effect of policy measures on macroeconomic indicators in the EU member countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study uses data on four different policy measures as key independent variables, that together with control variables are regressed against three dependent variables, which are indicators of the economic situation of a country. The variables studied are rea

I investigate how temperature variations influence time allocation for the consumption of various goods and services, focusing on essential and non-essential consumption. Using data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) and National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration (NOAA)'s weather records, I employ fixed-effects regression models to estimate the nonlinear impact of maximum temperature

The purpose of this study was to investigate when human error is deemed to be culpable in a context of aviation and Just Culture. The study was conducted through a literature review together with a qualitative interview study with stakeholders in Swedish airlines and relevant authorities. For a long time there has been a tendency to see humans as faulty and blameworthy, while safety scholars sugge

In this master’s thesis I aim to produce knowledge concerning the perceived expertise and cognitive authority of generative AI models, specifically in regard to health, politics and the environment. This problem is important to investigate in order to better understand how people interact with synthetic information, both as a reliable source and as an example of mis- or disinformation. Furthermore

This thesis studies the impact that seagrass meadows have in terms of attenuating incoming wave heights and mitigating coastal erosion. Specifically, this study seeks to investigate how seagrass meadows impact the coastline by looking at the longshore sediment transport, which has been identified as the key erosion process. This will be done by looking at the case study of Le Morne on Mauritius. T

Carbon leakage resulting from asymmetric climate policies undermines the effectiveness of global climate governance. This paper examines whether China’s national Emissions Trading System, launched in 2021, has induced carbon leakage through outward foreign direct investment at the firm level. Using firm-level data and a PSM-DID approach, this study finds no evidence of investment-driven carbon lea

This thesis explores the challenges associated with electronic legal deposit in Sweden, focusing on both its historical development and current legal framework. While the existing legislation for electronic legal deposit was introduced in 2012, it has not kept pace with technological advancements, resulting in significant gaps in the collection and preservation of digital publications. The study a

Klockdrift kan orsaka problem vid datainsamling och negativt påverka kvaliteten på insamlad data. Denna klockdrift är vanligt förekommande i de klockor som används i digitala och självrapporterande sensorer och beror på kvartsoscillatorns kvalitet och konstruktion. I sammanhang där vanliga synkroniseringsprotokoll inte kan användas krävs en lösning som tillåter att insamlad data korrigeras i efte

Over time, Sweden has demonstrated a stable policy line across governments, marked by a critical view of further EU integration in the area of security and defence. There is a strong tendency in Sweden to initially reject EU proposals in this domain and widely advocated that this area is best managed at a national level. Over the past seven years, Sweden has initially rejected several EU proposals

The digital transformation impacts the archive sector, the threat picture is rising and creating new demands for information security. This master's thesis investigates how modern municipal archivists manage information security and the challenges they face in this evolving landscape. The study aims to complement existing research by exploring how archivists navigate the growing information se

During the last ten years, many reports have highlighted the increasingly stressed working environment in Swedish public libraries. Librarians are experiencing elevated stress levels and encountering various forms of disorder in their daily work. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and contribute with insights of how librarians perceive and manage different forms of disorder in public l

This thesis explores how interaction between humans and generative artificial intelligence can be understood as an entangled, co-constitutive practice of information production. Drawing on Karen Barad’s theory of agential realism and Luciano Floridi’s information ethics, the study examines not only how such interaction unfolds, but also what ethical implications it may carry. The empirical materia

Children and young people with non-normative functionality are, according to the Swedish Library Act, prioritised groups. Still, many libraries lack inclusive and accessible services and resources aimed at these groups. This thesis explores the Apple Shelf – a section in Swedish public libraries intended to create an inclusive environment and offer relevant resources that address the needs of thes
