In recent years, Kate Raworth’s new alternative macroeconomic model, “doughnut economics” (DE) has become increasingly popular within policies on different scales around the world. The doughnut-shaped framework addresses the urgent crises of our time by advocating for a balanced development that considers the planet’s well-being while securing our social needs. Since the introduction of the framew

Crisis in the financial sector have come to be a natural part of the economic cycles, as well as the compulsory regulatory measures that follow. These processes have been documented since the beginning of financial revolutions where the states and financial institutions are intertwined in an eternal dance ever since. Both external chocks and internal innovations can spark booms or busts. But how m

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the level of conict in the media between the government and the opposition at dierent time periods, and specically regarding EU policies. Opposition towards policy is a crucial ingredient in democratic systems of government that do not only allow the people to send dierent personalities to represent them in government, but rather dierent policy agendas that

Skadelindringshierarkin är en vanligt föreslagen princip för att minska påverkan på naturkapital inom planprocesser. Skadelindringshierarkin innebär att påverkan på naturliga miljöer i första hand ska undvikas, annars minimeras – och när detta inte är möjligt återställas inom området eller kompenseras enligt en ekvivalens- och närhetsprincip. Beräkningarna kan utföras i en modell som exempelvis GrA commonly proposed principle for reducing impact on natural capital within the planning process is the mitigation hierarchy. The mitigation hierarchy means that impacts should primarily be avoided, otherwise minimized, and when this is not possible - restored or compensated according to an equivalency- and proximity principle. The outcome can be calculated in a model such as the Green Space Facto

Lakes with increased water colour levels have been observed in many locations in the northern hemisphere, a phenomenon that is called brownification. The driving components of brownification are dissolved organic matter (DOM) and iron, which are affected by rainfall patterns as a large fraction originates from terrestrial sources. Brownification has many detrimental effects for the ecosystem, amon

The economic bonanza of the last century has brought prosperity and reduced poverty in many corners of the world. Favourable demographic circumstances are recognised as a critical pillar of the rapid development; the baby boomers entering the workforce, the entrance of female participation in the workforce and integration of new economies on the global market. However, the baby boomers are coming

Theory on competition within free markets is well developed and creates a fundament on which operational and strategic decisions rest upon. Regulations, such as in the pharmaceutical industry, create a dimension which strongly affects the operations of all organisations within the industry - and thus also the competition. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the business environment and c

Homelessness is one of the crudest manifestations of poverty, and addressing homelessness is thus always urgent. Discourse affects our perception, knowledge and, in the end, policymaking, and hence the perception of what the causes to homelessness are, affect what strategies and policies that are implemented. There has since long been a split in perception on whether homelessness is a result of th

As CO2 builds up in the atmosphere causing global climate change (IPCC, 2022) trees have become an international symbol of combatting this, and for good reason. Trees take up CO2 which as a result combats these changes, and when these trees are cut down fewer individuals remain to take up the CO2 that we humans emit (Chapin et al., 2011). This means that clear-cut areas don’t act as the carbon sin

Klimatförändringar förväntas leda till längre brandperioder och ökad brandrisk. I Sverige, där homogen produktionsskog utgör största delen av landskapet, finns ett behov av bättre förståelse för skogens mottaglighet för bränder för att kunna mildra risker. I denna avhandling avser skogsbrandmottaglighet sannolikheten för att skogen brinner efter att antändning har ägt rum och inledande brandspridn

Den globala klimatkrisen innebär betydande sociala utmaningar och hotar biologisk mångfald. Klimatförändringar ökar sårbarheten i kustområden, vilket leder till ökad erosion och översvämningar. Naturbaserade lösningar (NbS) erbjuder en mångfacetterad metod för att adressera dessa problem. Denna masteruppsats granskar användningen av NbS för kustskydd i Bjärred, i södra Sverige, och kommunens strat

As the world becomes a global market and the number of multinational enterprises (MNEs) continues to rise, understanding effective international marketing strategies becomes increasingly critical. This paper explores promotion strategies adapted to individual cultures and markets from a consumer perspective, addressing gaps left by previous studies that predominantly focus on quantitative analyses

This paper investigates the application of a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model to construct a forward-looking risk factor for asset pricing. The LSTM model's predictions are utilized to create a novel risk factor, derived from long-short portfolios, offering an innovative approach to decomposing asset returns. For comparative analysis, the Fama-French three-factor (FF3) and Carhart four-fact

Vad påverkar gäddans storlek och antal på den svenska östkusten och hur bör arten förvaltas? Gädda Esox Lucius är en högt eftertraktad fisk inom fritidsfisket, och som predator i toppen av näringskedjan har arten en viktig roll i ekosystemen. I östersjön förekommer gäddan i två olika populationer som lever i grunda havsvikar. Den ena populationen leker i vikarna, medan den andra migrerar till sötThe northern pike Esox Lucius is a highly sought-after resource targeted by recreational anglers but now declining. In the Baltic Sea the species consist of two sympatric populations residing in the shallow coves. However, with difficulties to assess the relatively stationary species, this project aimed to bring to light important factors of pike habitats using a new method of electrical fishing b
