Bidding Farewell to Fossil Fuels - An Empirical Study of Auctions for Renewable Energy Support

Using government auctions to distribute subsidies and locations for renewable energy sources is a good way to receive signals about the cost of renewables. This thesis studies the relationship between auction design and auction prices in Renewable Energy Support (RES) auctions in Europe. The price outcomes of first-price and second-price auctions are compared empirically, as well as auctions with

”Du känner inte folket som är där, men du får känslan av att du gör det” En socialantropologisk studie om Malmös rave- och undergrounddeltagares upplevelser av samhörighet och hur dessa kommer till liv.

This bachelor’s thesis explores and shines light upon the attractions and experiences of the rave environment and it’s participants in Malmö. It will achieve this by giving a deep description of the seemingly fundamental and essential components that during raves, mixes together with the raving bodies. The discovered components that will be managed are: preparation, people, music, dance, environme

Föralltid sjuk men samtidigt tillfrisknande : En kvalitativ intervjustudie om Minnesotamodellens betydelsefulla moment ur ett brukarperspektiv

The purpose of this study was to examine the Minnesota model and the meaningful moments experienced by people who have gone through the Minnesota treatment. Our aim was also to analyze this treatment from an interactionist perspective using the turning points theory, the labeling theory, Ervin Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective and, the interactionist perspective view on the emotion shame. We hav

Climate Change Mitigation Measures of Load-Bearing Structure - A comparison of alternative structural designs using Life Cycle Assessment

I mars 2015 nådde den globalt genomsnittliga koldioxidhalten 400 ppm för första gången på tre miljoner år. Därför satte den svenska regeringen, år 2017, upp målet att Sverige ska vara klimatneutralt år 2045. Samtidigt står den svenska byggindustrin för 18,1 miljoner ton växthusgasutsläpp, vilket motsvarar 19 procent av Sveriges totala utsläpp. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka och analyserThe global average carbon dioxide concentration reached 400 ppm for the first time in three million years, in March 2015. This calls for drastic measures so in 2017 the Swedish government set up the goal of making Sweden climate neutral by 2045. Meanwhile, the construction sector in Sweden accounts for 18.1 million tons of green- house gases which is 19 percent of Sweden’s total emissions. The pur

Disentangling dynamic capabilities for sustainability - How leaders can influence sustainable development in complex environments

Purpose: The 21st century’s focal point of sustainability obliges businesses to adjust their internal resources and operations towards a complex and dynamic environment. Previous research focused on definitional and motivational aspects of dynamic capabilities for sustainability. Hence, a research gap exists in how dynamic capabilities for sustainability are developed. Thus, this study addresses t

The Influence of Cavity Widths and Lateral Ventilation Conditions on the Fire Behaviour within a Non-Combustible Ventilated Façade System

Present uncertainties in key ventilation parameters, characterising the fire performance of facades, has necessitated clarification in the foundational understanding of the Fire Science Body of Knowledge. A test program conducted in collaboration between Lunds Universitet and the Kingspan Group, studied the influence of cavity widths and lateral ventilation conditions on the fire behaviour within

Deepfake: An Emerging New Media Object in the Age of Online Content

This thesis aims to understand the phenomenon of deepfake as new media objects and how deepfake content circulate and are consumed online. Deepfake is a newly emerging technology that face swaps targeted individual faces in existing media using machine learning. To document and recognize deepfake in the field of media studies, this thesis attempts to translate the technicality deepfake technology

The 3D genome of the frog Xenopus laevis

The organization of DNA inside the nucleus has a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression. Tight gene regulation is especially critical during embryonic development and cell fate commitment. Xenopus laevis is a long-standing model organism for studying embryo development and cell reprogramming. However, genomics studies have been challenging due to its allotetraploid condition. Here, we p

The role of perceived risk in the behavioral intention to use and accept algorithm-based news aggregators

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka huruvida det är fördelarna eller riskerna som är mest signifikanta för konsumenter vid användandet och acceptansen av algoritm-baserade nyhetsappar, vi åstadkom detta genom att använda oss av en expanderad Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) modell. Utöver att undersöka signifikansen av de originella UTAUT2 kategorierna, avseddThe purpose of this research was to examine whether the opportunities or the risks are most significant for consumers when they are using algorithm-based news aggregators, this was accomplished by using an expanded Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 model (UTAUT2). In addition to examining the significance of the original UTAUT2 parameters, we sought to reveal if our additional p

Avfallskampanjers påverkan på konsumenters beteenden

Avfallskampanjer behöver kombineras med andra politiska styrmedel för att bli mer effektiva Varför prioriterar individer ofta materialåtervinning över avfallsförebyggande arbete? Denna studie undersöker om det finns ett samband mellan hur mycket resurser som läggs på informationskampanjer om materialåtervinning och avfallsförebyggande kampanjer med hur individer väljer att agera i dessa frågor. AAlthough waste prevention is the top step in the Swedish waste hierarchy, many consumers prioritize recycling over waste prevention. This study examines if there is a connection between how much national organisations spend on information campaigns about waste prevention and about recycling with how consumers choose to act. In this research, more ongoing campaigns about waste prevention were foun

Trollet, självmordsexperten, livräddaren och vännen : En netnografisk studie om interaktion kring ämnet suicid

This study aims to analyze the interaction between actors who express suicidal thoughts and the respondents on anonymous Swedish internet forums. By using a qualitative approach, a netnographic document study was used to collect the empirical data for this study. The theoretical framework of this study was Erving Goffman’s theory of dramaturgy using concepts such as front stage, backstage and pers

SKATTEVERKET + POLISMYNDIGHETEN Myndighetsgemensam brottsbekämpning

Redan för nästan 100 år sedan insåg myndigheterna i USA att man genom myndighetsgemensamt arbete bäst bekämpade den grova organiserade brottsligheten. En av frontfigurerna i USA:s undre värld och ledaren för ett mycket kriminellt och våldsamt nätverk, Al Capone kunde till slut lagföras och då för ett skattebrott. Jag ville undersöka om sådant myndighetsgemensamt arbete finns i Sverige och i så fal

Kompetens och kvalifikationer - det moderna anställningsskyddet? Om utökade undantag från turordningsreglerna och ansvarsfördelningen för kompetensutveckling

Arbetsmarknaden är under snabb och ständig förändring. Faktorer såsom globalisering, digitalisering, teknisk utveckling, ökade utbildningsnivåer och att jobben blivit mer kunskapsintensiva gör att nya kvalifikationskrav ständigt uppkommer. Att arbetstagare sägs upp på grund av att de saknar tillräckliga kvalifikationer blir allt mer vanligt. Samtidigt förespråkar politiker ändringar av turordningsThe labour market is undergoing rapid and constant change. Factors such as globalization, digitalisation, technological development, increased educational levels and the fact that jobs have become more knowledge intensive mean that new qualification requirements are constantly emerging. The dismissal of workers due to lack of sufficient qualifications is becoming more common. At the same time, pol

Do variations in the initial mass function affect galaxy evolution?

The initial mass function (IMF) describes the stellar mass distribution for a population of stars at birth. This parameter represents a topic of long standing discussion within astronomy due to its apparent insensitive nature to environmental conditions. However, in the last decade, significant evidence suggesting the contrary has been presented. Due to the role of the IMF as an input variable for
