I en tid av stigande inflation har kryptovalutor beskrivits som en modern version av guld, en tillgång för investerare som vill bevara sin köpkraft. Men hur väl fungerar kryptovalutor egentligen som skydd mot inflation? Den här studien undersöker detta genom att analysera riskjusterade avkastningar och jämföra kryptovalutor med traditionella tillgångar som guld och aktieindex. Studien använder enThis thesis investigates the inflation-hedging potential of cryptocurrency baskets relative to traditional hedges like gold and stock indices, using volatility modeling to assess risk-adjusted returns. While cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin have been speculated as potential inflation hedges, their high volatility and limited historical data pose challenges in accurately evaluating their effectiven

I dagens samhälle pågår en förändring för att minska fossila bränslen och hitta miljövänligare lösningar inom flertalet sektorer. Inom industrin utnyttjas mikroorganismer mer och mer för produktion av både bulkkemikalier och värdefulla ämnen. I den kategorin har mikroalger blivit populära av anledningen att de kan växa snabbt och producera stora mängder fetter. Mikroalger är en bred grupp av vatteMicroalgae have become an increasingly interesting field of research for the production of biofuel and health beneficial lipids such as omega-3. Useful characteristics of the algae are their rapid growth and high levels of lipid accumulation. For growth of microorganisms as biofactories to industrially produce bulk or specialty compounds, economically feasible and energetically efficient feed subs

Tetra Pak, a global leader in packaging solutions, seeks to optimize inkjet printing as a more flexible alternative to traditional methods. Although inkjet printing offers rapid design customization and reduced waste, its performance is hindered by issues such as unwanted satellite droplets. Capturing the formation of these droplets at microsecond timescales demands specialized experimental method

Introduction Cetaceans are abundant in the waters surrounding Scotland. These animals are occasionally found stranded along the coastline, and data recording the locations of these stranding events has been collected over the past several decades. There are many factors which may influence the location in which an animal is reported to have stranded. Some of these factors are environmental and inf

This thesis explores the research object of accountability, drawing from multiple fields of study to develop a greater nuance and richness to the construct, and introducing additional types of accountability that may assist organisations in defining accountability in a manner that will positively influence individual and organisational learning post event. A study based on Smith’s Interpretative

This study explores how transgender perspectives challenge colonial dualisms - pure/impure, body/mind, animal/human, nature/culture, and rational/emotional - within environmental discourse. Colonial binaries have long reinforced imperialist, capitalist, and cisheteropatriarchal power structures. Through qualitative research with urban transgender individuals in Sweden, using decolonial methods lik

This study evaluated the potential effects of the free trade agreement between the EU and South Korea using a dynamic difference-in-difference gravity regression. The analysis covers the period from 2000 to 2019. The results indicate that the effects were initially weak but gradually increased over time, based on the chosen reference year.

The ’green’ energy transition has contributed to a polarized debate, where wind power is seen as part of the solution to achieve the climate target, while at the same time being problematized partly based on its aesthetic impact on the landscape. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the aesthetic dimensions of the Åby-Alebo wind farm can be understood based on Böhme’s theory of ’The Aes

This study examines how sustainability experts at municipal and regional levels in Skåne perceive the climate crisis, their vision of the future, and the obstacles to climate adaptation. By analyzing the environmental discourses expressed in interviews, the study provides insight into strategies for addressing climate challenges and structural barriers affecting the transition. The results show th

Research into voice qualities that employ supraglottal structures has enlightened our knowledge on the relationship between the laryngeal and the oral articulators. One such insight, which is described within the laryngeal articulator model, is the relationship between the tongue and jaw, and laryngeal constriction. There is evidence to suggest that the tongue dorsum is actively involved in laryng

Sweden's municipal council is characterized by an uneven gender distribution where women make up approximately 40 percent of the council. This study examines the descriptive variation of female representation within 16 of Sweden’s municipal councils through a comparative method. Relevant variables supported by previous research are used to identify patterns as a background for interviews which

The Cooperative Porcelain: A study about how and why the Swedish Cooperative Union developed Gustavsberg’s porcelain factory Uppsatsen "Det kooperativa porslinet" (2024) har undersökt hur och varför KF utvecklade porslinsfabriken i Gustavsberg under folkhemmets första årtionden.

Människan bidrar till miljöpåverkan och en stor del kommer från byggverksamheten. I omställningen till ett klimatneutralt samhälle spelar fastighetsägare en viktig roll. Fastighetsföretagen har möjligheten att förvalta och bygga fastigheter på ett hållbart sätt som är bra för miljön, ekonomin och samhället. Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka hur fastighetsföretag arbetar för att skapa etThe ongoing climate change is not only a challenge for the environment but also for economic and social development. The continuing rise of consumption and production of natural resources that needs to be preserved is affecting the environment. The urbanization is contributing to a higher demand of commercial buildings and housing, this needs resources like building material which releases carbon

In this thesis, I aim to examine and expand on different IR theories in their attempt to explain and understand the emergence of the modern international order. To do that, I used a Heideggerian ontological analysis as an analytical toolkit, based on hermeneutical phenomenology as a method. To achieve my goal, I examine the Western history of Being from Plato to Kant using a Heideggerian perspecti
