Idag är ett av de största hoten mot vår miljö den snabba förlusten av biologisk mångfald. Ungefär 86 % av de hotade arterna i världen påverkas negativt av jordbrukets markanvändning, det motsvarar mellan 24 000 och 28 000 arter. Det här gör jordbruket till en nyckelfaktor i kampen för att bevara planetens arter. Att bevara planetära arter är inte enbart viktigt från ett miljöperspektiv utan även fGlobal biodiversity is heavily damaged by human interventions. There are multiple drivers for human-caused biodiversity loss; however, land use linked to agricultural production is the leading one. In response to this major threat, the interest in and importance of assessing the potential biodiversity impacts, particularly those related to land use, have grown significantly. Especially within fram

This thesis investigates how income influences the way parents in Sweden share paid parental leave. Although the Swedish parental leave system is universal in design, its use varies across income groups and regions. By analyzing national data grouped by income level and regional data from all 21 counties between 2005 and 2019, the study examines how financial position and local context relate to t

Inom läkemedelsindustrin är det väldigt viktigt att göra en noggrann kontroll av läkemedel så att de är tillräckligt rena för personen som ska använda dem. En vanlig analysteknik i industrin är HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), som används för att separera och identifiera olika ämnen i exempelvis krämer eller tabletter. Analysmetoden används för att upptäcka orenheter i produkterna. HPLC is one of the most widely used analytical techniques in the pharmaceutical industry used for separation and identification of compounds in complex formulations. Despite its advantages, HPLC method development remains challenging. This is due to the need to optimize multiple interdependent parameters simultaneously, while gaining high precision, reproducibility, and efficiency. Even minor cha

This paper explores the relationship between income inequality, the non-bank financial sector and financial stability. By using panel data for a set of countries the study examines whether higher income inequality is associated with a larger non-bank financial sector, and whether the size of the non-bank sector is linked to reduced stability in the traditional banking sector. Additionally a time s

”Hwart hjerta andas krig”: an analysis of the depiction of war in Skillingtryck 1770–1830. Even though modern Swedish history has been distinctively peaceful, with the country not having been at war since 1814, the Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson stated in January 2025 that Sweden, while not at war, is not at peace. Since conceptualizations of war have varied throughout history, this thesis

This thesis investigates how business angel investors interpret and evaluate hybrid entrepreneurial teams, startups led by founders who retain salaried employment while launching their ventures. While hybrid entrepreneurship is increasingly common, it challenges traditional heuristics around founder commitment, team scalability, and investability in early-stage finance. Drawing on ten qualitative

Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire (1976) reshaped the vampire genre by combining Gothic horror with BDSM elements. The novel explores the tension between aesthetics and ethics, where violence is presented as both intimate and seductive. Key relationships, such as between Louis and Lestat, show power dynamics defined by submission and control. These dynamics are expressed through vivi

Despite generative Artificial Intelligence’s (AI) explosive growth in popularity and record of biased outputs, little attention has been paid to the technology’s potential to shape perceptions around sustainability. This analysis investigates which perceptions about climate change causes, impacts and solutions are visually naturalised or marginalised by three text-to-image AI models: GPT‑4o, Ideog

The dune regions of the Curonian Spit are undergoing a gradual deflation and transformation towards a vegetated surface as a result of extensive forestation and dune stabilization efforts limiting sand input to the dunes. Current dune monitoring in the Spit relies mostly on field levelling, whereas radar interferometry – used extensively in land surface monitoring elsewhere – is not utilized. This

The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in M&A performance between specialist and generalist serial acquirers. This study employs an event study methodology to estimate the abnormal returns associated with each acquisition. Subsequently, multiple regression analysis is conducted to examine the relationship between these abnormal returns and the classification of acquirors as ei

In the rapidly evolving landscape of entrepreneurship, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a pivotal tool reshaping how founders navigate uncertainty and allocate resources. Grounded in Sarasvathy’s dual logics of causation (predictive, goal-oriented planning) and effectuation (adaptive, resource-driven experimentation), this study investigates whether AI reinforces entrepreneurs’ default

Mental health services increasingly seek ways to implement Learning Health Systems (LHS) to enhance care quality of patients. This bachelor's thesis focuses on DIALOG+, a structured tool used in psychiatry designed for patient-centered communication. By visualizing and analysing data from DIALOG+, continuous learning can be supported within clinical settings to improve treatment and organizati

This study examines the effect the ADHD traits hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattentiveness have on entrepreneurs during the planning of the pre-launch phase. Using Person-Environment Fit theory, Dual Pathway Model, and Coping-Dueling-Fit theory, this study explores how cognitive and emotional difficulties associated with ADHD impact entrepreneurial planning. The data was collected through a qual

There is still limited understanding of how entrepreneurial identity evolves over time and what the consequences of such changes are. Entrepreneurs in the creative industry is an interesting field to study identity work due to the ongoing tension between the commercial drive for growth and financial success and the creative pursuit of artistic authenticity and expression. This study, refers to the

Abstract Title: More Than Money: Human and Social Capital in Financing Swedish Innovative Small Enterprises. Seminar Date: 03/06 - 2025 Course: Degree Project: New Venture Creation- Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Lund University School of Economics and Management, 15 ECTS Authors: Daniel Milde & Gustav Lingevik Supervisor: Joakim Winborg Keywords: Entrepreneurial finance, Human capital, Soci

A challenge when predicting physiological corrosion behaviour of biomaterials is the lack of established correlation between the results from in vitro and in vivo studies. This project investigates how the selection of immersion testing method affects the degradation of magnesium based alloys by comparing corrosion rates obtained from three methods: bioreactor, incubator and isothermal calorimetry

This thesis investigates how early-stage FinTech startups integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into strategic decision-making processes under conditions of uncertainty. By employing the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) as a foundational framework, the study examines the evolving role of AI within each phase of the decision-making cycle. Drawing on nine in-depth interviews with founders a
