Utsläppen av växthusgaser genom mänskliga aktiviteter, framförallt inom sektorer som energiproduktion, markanvändning, livsstil, och produktion, medför att jordens medeltemperatur fortsätter att öka till ohållbara grader. En viktig del i att återfå kontroll över situationen är att förändra hur vi producerar energi världen över, från fossila bränslen till hållbara och förnybara energikällor. Ett exEmissions of greenhouse gases through human activities, predominantly in sectors such as energy production, land use, lifestyle, and production, are continuing to warm the planet to unsustainable degrees. An important way to regain control of the situation is a worldwide adjustment in the way we produce energy, from fossil fuels to sustainable and renewable energy sources. An example of such a ren

Sustainability reporting has become the primary measure of corporate sustainability in the EU, with increasing awareness among companies about the importance of disclosing sustainability matters.

This thesis explores the structural power dynamics and agency within WWF's Leading the Change (LtC) program, focusing mainly on its implementation in Kenya. By analyzing how the institutional structure within the program influences decision-making and how the practical implementation either facilitates or impedes inclusion and the representation of stakeholders, the study employs the framework

Bakgrund: Under föräldraledigheten ändras vardagens aktiviteter där nya rutiner, vanor och upplevelser skapas. Varje aktivitet genererar ett aktivitetsvärde som har betydelse för upplevelsen av välbefinnande. Välbefinnande innefattar fysiska, psykiska och sociala aspekter. Att utforska upplevelsen av aktivitetsvärde samt upplevt välbefinnande under föräldraledigheten, kan öka kunskapen om behovet Background: During parental-leave, occupations change, new routines, habits and experiences are created. Each activity generates an occupational value that is significant for the experience of well-being. Well-being includes physical, mental and social aspects. Exploring the experience of occupational value and perceived well-being during parental-leave, can increase knowledge about the need for o

The objective of this study is to investigate the dynamic correlations and volatility spillover effect between the financial stress index (FSI), exchange rates, and gold prices among Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS countries) over the period between February 2014 and February 2024. The FSI is established using the principal component analysis approach for each country to evalu

In times of climate change, climate-related disaster displacement is becoming a growing issue. While the vast majority of disaster displaced people move within their country or to a neighbouring country (within a region), there are also people who move between regions and to Europe (interregional). However, there is currently no global legally binding framework that regulates the protection of the

As we know our population keeps growing and our cities are getting denser, urban sprawl is a phenomenon that affects a big part of our society. Research has shown that urban sprawl lacks consideration for human interactions and has an absence of proper urban planning. Multiple types of barriers have made it more and more difficult to create a sense of community within this environment. Moreover, d

Children do not have many spaces designed entirely for their needs in our world. This has inspired the concept of ‘A Child’s Garden City’. The idea includes research of how children can be included in design and the process of creating safer cities with their considerations in the center. This Master’s Thesis can inspire the relationship between growing natural vegetation, self-sustaining infrastr

Youth intimate partner violence (Youth IPV) has long been an overlooked field of research, but an increasing number of recent studies are showing the extent and severity of the problem. Health care plays an important role in identifying Youth IVP, but there are no official guidelines regarding which profession within health care should have the responsibility, knowledge, or competence to identify

Denna uppsats undersöker potentialen att utnyttja sex sidoströmmar/exportströmmar från den svenska livsmedelsindustrin till livsmedel för människor. Sidoströmmar som inte är industriens huvudsakliga syfte men skulle kunna bidra med näring. I dagsläget går majoriteten av strömmarna till produktion av biobränsle eller till djurfoder. En litteraturstudie genomfördes där strömmarnas avkastning, egensThis thesis investigates the potential to utilise six side streams/export streams from the Swedish food industry for human consumption in times of crisis. Side streams that are not the industry’s main purpose but could still contribute to nutrition. Currently, these streams are going to biofuel production or production of animal feed. The aim of this master thesis is therefore to study the potenti

I denna masteruppsats undersöks effekten av skjutningar och bombdåd på bostadspriser i Göteborg med hjälp av regression discontinuity-analys (RD). Uppsatsen använder data från bostadsförsäljningar och brottsincidenter mellan 2018 och 2024 för att analysera hur dessa våldshändelser påverkar fastighetsmarknaden.

Healthcare professionals frequently request competence development regarding the implications of Parkinson’s disease for those who are affected and their special needs. New employees at nursing homes are often taught by experienced healthcare staff, but there is no disease-specific-education. Consequently, there is no system that ensures a standardized level of competence within and between health

Preeclampsia (PE) occurs in up to 5% of worldwide pregnancies. It is a complex disease characterised by sudden onset hypertension, and it is harmful to the mother as well as the growing baby, accounting for 40% of fetal deaths worldwide. The disease can be divided into early and late-onset PE, defined as diagnosis earlier or later than 34 weeks of gestation. Despite decades of research, the cause
