Intresset för växter och att odla tycks öka i takt med intresset att leva mer hållbart. Att plantera i antingen en rabatt eller en kruka tillsammans med den mest anpassade jorden köpt i den närmaste trädgårdsbutiken är troligtvis en självklar del av processen. Studeras baksidan på jordsäcken närmare går det utläsa att jorden till största del består av torv. Torv är en fossil resurs med en bildningDrained peatlands in Sweden emit approximately 11 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents annually. Attempts to rewet to eliminate emissions have shown that the irreversible processes of peat oxidation in the form of peatland deposition makes it hard, since it instead greatly increases methane gas emissions. This study presents a literature review of the environmental consequences of peat and peatland

This study analyses walking in three different city districts to see if there is any difference in walking that can be related to the structure of the district. The three districts analysed vary in structure, with one of them being historical, while the others being built in the 1970’s. With the help of travel data, walking in the three districts are analysed regarding trip distance, distribution

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze how platform and content intimacy affect customer engagement on TikTok and Instagram. Furthermore, it aims to investigate how different content categories (rational, interactional, and transactional) and modalities (video vs. photo) affect engagement levels on both platforms, if there is evidence of distinguished performances across TikTok an

A transition away from our current degenerative and linear economic system is urgently needed, as we are living beyond the means of our planet and have already transgressed 6 of the 9 planetary boundaries. A new approach to sustainability must be embraced to regenerate nature and society and move humanity to a just and safe space. As finance plays a crucial role in the sustainability transition, r

This study aims to explore how firm decision-makers view the role of external Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) investment in relation to sustainable value creation (SVC) and competitive advantage. To investigate this novel and broad topic, the study develops a tentative framework for how CDR could potentially create competitive advantage through SVC. Consequently, the paper utilized a qualitative mult

The growth of the wild boar (Sus Scrofa) population in Sweden results in increasing wild boar damage on agricultural grounds, thereby influencing the livelihoods of farmers. Finding mitigation strategies that are positive for both wildlife and human society is challenging. It is therefore essential to enable the creation and investigation of precise and differentiated wild boar management strategi

This thesis explores how entrepreneurs perceive and address ethical concerns when using machine learning (ML) in digital marketing (DM). This study highlights the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a game-changer for entrepreneurship, particularly by providing effectiveness and optimisation of DM practices. Additionally, this study provides insights to better understand how different eth

The underwater noise has a significant negative impact on marine animals. The EU has made efforts to keep noise emission within sustainable limits, but only in regards to boats with Automatic Identification System (AIS). The noise of recreational boats, which are the main noise emitter in coastal areas, is overlooked. Thus, there is a need to quantify the noise emitted by recreational boats and, iStudies have shown that the underwater noise undoubtedly has a negative impact on marine animals. The EU have made efforts to keep the noise emission within sustainable limits, but mainly in regards to commercial freight ships. This means that noise from recreational boats, which are the main noise emitter in coastal areas, are overlooked. The noise from recreational boats is also under-investigat

Syftet med föreliggande examensarbete är att illustrera hur arbetet med skriftlig lärarrespons ser ut i praktiken i fyra klasser inom ämnet svenska på gymnasiet. För att uppnå syftet har två metoder använts: dels en analys av fyra lärares skriftliga kommentarer till elevtexter, dels en intervjustudie enligt metoden stimulated recall. Analysen utgick från de begrepp och modeller som presenteras i H“The Sole Purpose is to Foster Student Development” The purpose of this thesis is to illustrate how four teachers work with written feedback within the subject of Swedish in the upper secondary school. To achieve the aim, two methods have been used: firstly an analysis of four teachers' written comments on student texts, secondly an interview study according to the method stimulated recall. T

During operation of a nuclear power plant the neutron radiation of the reactor core may induce activity in surrounding components and equipment. These may in turn become radiation hazards during decommissioning or component exchanges. To better plan for this, models of the degree of activation and subsequently, the dose are therefore of great importance. Building upon a previous study of the neutr

Water scarcity is increasing across different geographical regions of Vietnam. Central drivers of scarcity include population growth and climate change which increase demand and sectoral competition. The legal system is keeping pace to address this trend, but gaps remain in terms of implementation and enforcement. This purpose of this study was to improve the understanding of those gaps via polyce

Surfaktanter används inom många applikationer idag för att stabilisera eller förbättra proteiners funktion. Kartläggning av hur surfaktanter interagerar med proteiner påbörjades redan för flera årtionden sedan, men är ännu inte fullständig. Genom att förstå detta bättre kan surfaktanters användningsområden effektiviseras ytterligare och få produkter som läkemedel och rengöringsmedel som är effektiToday, proteins are used in a huge variety of industrial application ranging from detergents and pharmaceuticals to cosmetical products. Surfactants have the potential to increase solubility of poorly soluble protein, as well as hindering proteins in formulation to interact with the interface and thus protecting them from degradation. Even if the use of protein-surfactant system dates back decades

Conventional democratic institutions are unable to sufficiently incorporate citizens’ views in the context of a changing climate. The lack of a shared understanding of what citizen participation entails and what it should look like limits the potential for effective engagement. Postulating that citizen participation in policy-making processes could contribute to better decisions regarding flood ri

Research on CSR and Social Sustainability are broad fields that spans multiple disciplines, yet the scope of research that links CSR, social sustainability and gender is relatively small. Moreover, while there is an interest in understanding how to navigate gender relation in the workplace and market in the fields, there is limited engagement with feminist theories. The aim of this research is to

This paper investigates empirically the extent to which the time-horizon between firms’ formation and initial export activity is determined by their productivity. To this end, discrete-time duration models with time-varying covariates are employed on a sample of French fabricated metal manufacturing firms: The Cox Proportional Hazards, Weibull, and Exponential model. Controlling for industry effec
