From a market perspective, Japan is interesting for Swedish companies, especially those with sustainable and digital capabilities. However, the Japanese market is complex, with high quality demands and deep relationships, which require foreign companies to understand how their assets transfer locally. This thesis explores how ten Swedish subsidiaries in Japan use sustainability and digitalization

Klimatfrågan är ett ämne som många människor pratar om. De senaste årtiondena har klimatfrågan ökat i samband med ökade utsläpp. Effekterna av utsläppen är tydliga i form av höjda vattennivåer, värmeböljor, extremväder och skyfall för att nämna några. Vad människor gör åt saken beror mycket på hur medvetna människor är om klimatförändringarna. Vissa personer märker inte av klimatförändringarna medClimate change is an important topic for a lot of people and the usage of art to draw attention towards the issue is not a novel idea. Each art piece has had a different approach to, not only increase awareness but to also portray climate change. The expressions vary depending on who made the art piece, the context of its creation and similar parameters. Globally, this has been done since at least

This thesis examines how female-targeting fintech firms can internationalize in ways that genuinely promote financial inclusion for women. Conducted as an exploratory interview study with Female Invest, it builds on the broader observation that gender remains largely absent from fintech’s outlook. The study addresses two key research gaps. First, financial inclusion efforts often overlook how cult

This thesis investigates if graph-based visualisation can be used to enhance usability, user experience, and improve how users find and interact with data in a metadata catalogue. The study took place at E.ON in Malmö where their current catalogue is built using a relational database and where they have wondered if a switch in the backend to a graph-based one would be beneficial. Interviews as wel

Läroplanens öppna och delvis implicita formulering gällande språkhistoria för kursen Svenska 3 på gymnasiet bidrar till ett brett tolkningsutrymme, vilket i praktiken kan leda till betydande variationer för undervisningen. Samtidigt som tolkningsutrymmet möjliggör anpassningar riskerar det även att nedprioritera ämnesområdet till förmån för annat. Studiens syfte är att kartlägga hur svensklärare pThe curriculum’s open and partly implicit formulation regarding language history in the course Swedish 3, contributes to a broad scope for interpretation, which in practice can lead to significant variations in teaching. While this interpretive flexibility allows for adaptation, it also risks deprioritizing the subject area in favor of other content. The aim of the study is to explore how upper se

This qualitative study examines how the divorces of Swedish party leaders Ebba Busch and Jimmie Åkesson are portrayed in Swedish media coverage, with a specific focus on gender-related differences. Using theories of gender, media framing and political mediatization, the study analyzes how media depict the party leaders. Furthermore, it explores how politicians' private and public spheres are p

The accelerating electrification of urban infrastructure and the transport sector is placing in- creasing stress on distribution grid capacity. Distribution system operators (DSOs) are in- creasingly challenged by infrastructure constraints that delay or prevent the connection of new customers. This thesis investigates the use of battery energy storage systems (BESS) as a flexi- ble alternative to

Långsamfilter hjälper till att rena dricksvatten, men när cyanobakterier blommar upp kan de täppa till filtren och störa vattenreningen. Detta projekt ger nya insikter om vad som får cyanobakterierna att blomma i långsamfilter—vi vet nu att de kan växa på socker och att de kanske kan släppa ut fermenteringsämnen. Den vanliga uppfattningen är att cyanobakterier bara bedriver fotosyntes och fixerar Cyanobacteria are involved in nutrient cycling on global, ecosystem, and community scales by producing carbon sources for other organisms. However, recent studies indicate that their role might be more complex. In addition to primary production, many cyanobacteria can also consume carbon sources and secrete fermentation products, thereby impacting interactions with surrounding heterotrophic bacter

På bostadsmarknaden har hyrköp införts som en ny form av boende. Hyrköp går ut på att köparen under en tid hyr bostaden med en option om att köpa loss bostaden vid slutet av optionen. Denna upplåtelseform har hittills varit oreglerad enligt lag, vilket kan skapa osäkerhet. I synnerhet vid hyrköpsavtal med fast egendom där avtal om framtida köp enligt praxis inte är bindande. Inom riksdagen har det

India’s Female Labour Force Participation started declining from 2004-05 and fell from 42.74% in 2004-05 to 19.23% in 2021-22. However, in 2022-23, after the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Female Labour Force Participation rate was recorded at 28.26%. Against these circumstances, this thesis aims to characterize the nature of women's employment after the COVID-19 Pandemic. Furthermore, this thesis use

A growing proportion of families in Sweden are struggling to make enough money. According to a survey in 2023, families are having difficulty buying nutritious food, seasonal clothing or allowing their children to participate in leisure activities. However, everyone living in Sweden has, according to the Social Service Act, the right to a fair standard of living, and those in need can apply for fi

This thesis presents a quantitative analysis of the extent to which changes in regional rental housing costs influence internal net migration among young adults aged 20 to 29 across Sweden’s 21 counties between 2016 and 2024. Using a balanced panel dataset and a two-way fixed effects regression model, the study investigates whether rising rental prices constrain mobility into opportunity-rich but

This work applied Bayesian Optimization (BO) for the task of calibrating methane-related parameters in the Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator (LPJ-GUESS v4.1). A Gaussian Process (GP) was used as the surrogate model within the BO framework. Additionally, other enhancements we applied to the BO framework such as the use of complexity-penalizing priors for GP hyperparameters and numerical

To minimize the number of households affected by power outages during faults in the distribution grid, microgrids can be utilized to disconnect from the main grid and supply power locally. When disconnected from the main grid, these systems operate in \textit{island mode} and must remain self-sufficient for a few hours. However, for a fault occurrence within an islanded microgrid, traditional prot

This thesis examines how luxury branding elements are integrated into nation branding within luxury tourism. Using netnographic analysis of Switzerland’s and Dubai’s official tourism Instagram accounts and applying the Luxury Nation Branding Framework (LNBF), the study reveals how these countries use co-creation, emotional engagement, and symbolism to build strong luxury nation brands. The finding

The expanding market for psychometric tests faces challenges due to the spread of unvalidated tools. The adoption of popular but scientifically unsupported assessment tools can lead to ineffective hiring and misinformed decisions. This thesis aimed to evaluate and conduct a psychometric analysis of a commercially accessible forced-choice personality test - HumanGuide. Archival data (supplied by Hu
