I dagens urbana miljö belyses flera problem kopplade till persontransport, buller, trängsel och utsläpp är idag stora problem för invånarna i större städer. Samtidigt efterfrågar människor hållbarare sätt att leva. Utifrån människans krav på mobilitet och önskan efter hållbarare transporter i bland annat stadsmiljö har mikromobilitetsfordon och elsparkcyklar dykt upp. Uppsatsen har undersökt hur o

This bachelor thesis focuses on seven clinical social workers in child and adolescent psychiatry and their experiences of dealing with swift changes, unclear context and hazards associated with working during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The purpose was to examine how they reason out about their well-being and how they have handled the new context during this period. Their experiences were gathered thro

Studien undersöker om det finns ett samband mellan avkastning och omsättningshastighet på aktiemarknaden Stockholm Stock Exchange. Detta görs genom att först undersöka hur omsättningshastigheten har förändrats över tid i Sverige mellan åren 1983–2019. Därefter konstrueras portföljer innehållande aktier som sorteras på kvintiler efter storlek och omsättningshastighet, och ombalanserad månadsvis. Av

The purpose of the study was to explore wheter and what possible risks that were discussed by student health prior to the introduction of distance learning during Covid-19. Also the possible consequences that the distance learning has contributed to from the school counselors perspective. The study had a qualitative approach which included six semi-structured interviews with school counselors. The

The purpose of our study is to understand how social workers work with young men who have previously been involved in gang crime and what risk factors the social worker considers to be the basis for young men's previous involvement in gang crime. We also want to research the difficulties social workers experience while working with this group. The study was based on qualitative semi-structured

By utilizing the Dynamic Capabilities Framework (DCF) provided by Teece, this study explores how organizations leverage Dynamic Capabilities (DCs) to address rapid changes in times of change where uncertainty governs. By analyzing the activities that firms perform in relation to the sensing, seizing and transforming capabilities, this study enhances the understanding of how Business Models (BMs) a

Innovations with the goal of creating a more sustainable economy and industry has been a topic of study for many researchers over the recent decades. This comes to no surprise since large organizations flag for the problematic consumption and production patterns that could lead to environmental problems at a global scale. The research on these environmental innovations that has been done up until

How can established companies successfully manage disruptive innovations that change the basis of market demand? Since the publication of Clayton Christensen’s influential book on disruptive innovation, research on managing disruptive innovation has primarily focused on finding effective strategies for industry-leading companies (incumbents). However, there is a lack of research into what key fact

Countless studies within M&As have examined factors that can explain bidding firms' abnormal returns, although, behavioral factors have mostly been overlooked. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of investor sentiment on value creation around M&A deal announcements in the Nordic markets. We examine two, in principle, homogeneous samples of 421 and 359 acquisitions betwee

Byggsektorn och asfaltbranschen behöver ta ytterligare steg mot mer hållbar och klimatsmart produktion. Det behövs b.la. utvecklas nya fossilfria förnyelsebara asfaltsprodukter. Ett av de viktigaste områdena är att ersätta råoljan som används för att tillverka det bituminösa bindemedlet. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om man kan ersätta bitumen med den biobaserade produkten tallbecksolThe entire construction sector, as well as the asphalt industry, needs to head towards a more sustainable and climate-smart approach, step by step. New fossil-free products and renewable alternatives in the asphalt industry need to be developed, the greatest focus being on the binder in an attempt to expose the crude oil in the amount that is possible. The purpose of this study is to investigate w

Den kända Varbergscharnockiten från Hallandskusten är en granitisk, pyroxenförande bergart som har både magmatiska och metamorfa drag. Bergarten har deformerats och omkristalliserats under högmetamorfa förhållanden men har sannolikt redan sedan den ursprungliga kristallisationen varit pyroxenförande. Olikt andra granitiska bergarter är Varbergscharnockiten mörkt grågrön. Denna färg orsakas av fältThe well-known Varberg charnockite from the coast of Halland in southern Sweden is a granitic, pyroxene-bearing rock which has both magmatic and metamorphic features. The rock has been deformed and recrystallized at high temperature and pressure but has probably been pyroxene-bearing since the original crystallization. Unlike other granitic rocks the Varberg charnockite has a dark grey green colou

The current climate crisis together with growing global inequality requires a transformation of the economic systems. Sustainable Welfare is an emerging concept in which the welfare system seeks to meet everyone’s basic needs while staying within the planetary boundaries and decoupling the welfare-growth nexus. In this context, Universal Basic Income (UBI) is seen as one approach to support Sustai

This Master‘s thesis is not about ocean acidification or the sixth species extinction. I want to address the loss of soils, extensive agriculture and inequalities in society. My thesis is not just about listing and analyzing problems; it is about finding a solution through a concrete project. In a time of increasing urbanization and suburbanization, it is important to find alternatives in small vi

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur arbetsmarknadshandläggare som arbetar med eller har arbetat på arbetsmarknadsförvaltningar i södra Sverige arbetar eller har arbetat för att hjälpa invandrarkvinnor att etablera sig på arbetsmarknaden. Studiens frågor är 1) Hur resonerar arbetsmarknadshandläggare kring vad som är en god arbetsmarknadsintegration, 2) Hur arbetar arbetsmarknadshandläggarna

Drivkrafter, barriärer och lösningar för integreringen av blågröna lösningar i den fysiska planeringen Hur kan samhället anpassas till klimatförändringarna och dess effekter? Ett sätt är att använda sig av blågröna lösningar, som exempelvis träd och dammar. Dessa strukturer kan minska översvämningsrisken, ta hand om skyfall och reglera temperaturen på varma sommardagar. De kan även bidra med en rIn Sweden, the municipalities play a key role in climate change adaptation since they have the main responsibility for the physical planning. One way for the municipalities to adapt the society to a changing climate is to use so-called blue-green solutions in the physical planning. Blue-green solutions, such as ponds, swales and trees, use underlying ecosystem services to deliver a range of benefi

The steel industry is one of the most polluting industries globally. There exists an EU waste shipment proposal that aims to restrict the EU export of waste in order to raise safe, environmental standards and circularity within the EU. Under this proposal, steel scrap is defined as waste and since the EU is the largest exporter of steel scrap globally, this has implications for the EU steel indust

Det snabba skiftet inom bilindustrin mot elektiska fordon sätter stor press på inte bara biltillverkare, utan på hela försörjningskedjan för elbilar. Detta innefattar litiumjonbattericeller som är det mest moderna sättet att lagra energi i elbilar. Den tekniska utvecklingen av litiumjonceller drivs i stor utsträckning av behoven från biltillverkare. Under det senaste årtiondet har det inneburit atThe rapid transformation of the automotive industry to electric vehicles is putting immense pressure on not just vehicle manufacturers (OEMs), but the entire battery electric vehicle (BEV) supply chain. This includes lithium-ion battery cells, the current state-of-the-art technology for energy storage in BEVs. The technological development within lithium-ion battery cells, which is greatly driven
