Following the flooding event in Ringsjön within the Rönne å river basin in January 2024, this catchment area was utilized for a flood risk assessment. The study focused on the precipitation event during August 2023, known as Storm Hans. The flood risk assessment for the Rönne å catchment area was conducted using multi-criteria analysis (MCA) and geographical information systems (GIS). Seven factor

The majority of the coastal area of Scania is highly susceptible to sediment transportation. Due to various influences which are both human induced and natural, the morphology of coastal dunes often alters. Therefore, it is important to assess these changes, especially after major cyclonic storms such as the storm Babet in order to get a comprehensive understanding of the aftermath. The purpose of

The following bachelor's thesis investigates the sustainability-related tensions present within the single-use paper products and packaging industry. The addressed research question was structured in consideration of relevant theories, such as the Triple Bottom Line (TBL), Dyllick & Hockerts (2002) sustainability model, stakeholder theory, and paradox management strategy within corporate s

Nesting phenology in birds has been studied for decades and two different breeding strategies have been identified, income and capital breeding. The nesting behaviour and the breeding strategies of 131 females were studied from three species, the Common eider (Somateria mollissima) (n = 65), known to be a capital breeder and two species the Velvet scoter (Melanitta fusca) (n = 48) and the Red-brea

There is a rising demand for decarbonizing the building sector since it significantly contributes to global carbon emissions. With a focus on the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems specifically, this master’s thesis explores the embodied carbon within these building service systems. Utilizing established life cycle assessment methodologies, the case study thoroughly examines the embodied

Knowledge about how the Government governs its agencies is important to ensure legitimacy of the public exercise of power, and to further develop governing methods suitable for diverse types of agencies. This study focuses on a type of agency that is perceived as particularly difficult to govern – the university. The purpose is to describe how and to what extent the Government has attempted to gov

This master`s thesis designed to understand the social policy preferences of unemployed people from human capital investment perspectives. The aim of the research is to explain social policy preferences by referring to human capital theory to understand unemployed people`s preferences between unemployment cash benefits and labor market trainings. The research takes upskilling, earnings, together w

Tavistockinspirerade grupprelationskonferenser utvecklades ur överlappande men olika teorier. Dessa är psykoanalytiska teorier, teorier om organisationer som öppna system och teorier om upplevelsebaserat lärande i organisationer. Tavistockinspirerade grupprelationskonferenser är först och främst en metod för lärande om organisationer. Syftet med studien var att få insikt i före detta konferensdeltTavistock-inspired group relations conferences (GRCs) originated from overlapping yet distinct theories. These are psychoanalytic theories, theories of organizations as open systems, and theories of experiential learning in organizations. Tavistock-inspired GRCs are, first and foremost, a method of learning about organizations. The purpose of the study was to gain insight into the experiences of f

Tumlarna utanför Kullaberg tumlar runt med fiskarna på natten! Tumlaren är del av familjen tandvalar tillsammans med delfinen och späckhuggaren. Men till skillnad från andra tandvalar så finns det många tumlare i våra svenska vatten, närmare bestämt tre populationer. Utanför Kullaberg i nordvästra skåne så rör sig framförallt Bälthavspopulationen och denna plats har visat sig vara viktig för dess

After the major populist events such as Trump and Brexit, the media politicians turned their attention to the socio-economic and political division between big cities and small countryside communities. Rural areas where right-wing populist parties have found a large part of their support have besome “left-behind places", described as forgotten and misunderstood. The question of why these popu

The relationship between the Eastern Segment and Idefjorden terrane prior to the Sveconorwegian orogeny has long been debated. Evidence of a common history is minimal and localised; at the same time, the notion that the Sveconorwegian orogeny formed as a result of a collisional event is also disputed. In this thesis, I analyse a region of the Idefjorden terrane, colloquially known as ‘B-Bulan’, cl

This paper investigates if there was an opportunistic politcal cycle in transfers and taxes in Sweden during the period 1982-2019. A regressional model with conditional effects is employed to condition the cycle on performance in an opinion poll and to account for partisan differences. Significant results are found in both transfers and taxes but for taxes, the results come into question due to li

Sweden consistently ranks among the most innovative economies in the world. Further, Sweden displays the highest venture capital per capita investments in Europe. From the literature, it can be derived that venture capital is regionally clustered, and that innovation in Sweden occurs in regional innovation systems. However, previous research provides no evidence concerning the relation between reg

Large amounts of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere are stored in forest ecosystems and its soil. Once the forest ecosystem is disturbed the release of this carbon can drive positive feedback to global warming. Humans impact the forest ecosystem through clear-cutting for wood production and other commercial purposes. Clear-cutting is still a standard forestry management method, but its effect on

The struggle of power between politicians and civil servants in relation to introduction of different administrative reforms have always been a hot topic, specifically in issues to do with delegation of administrative autonomy from a political to administrative level. Advocates of administrative autonomy argue that administrative autonomy is a good administrative reform that spikes performance, tr

Laundry as a household activity has been subject to (un)sustainable consumption studies. The majority of those studies are rooted in mainstream approaches to (un)sustainable consumption focusing on either changing individuals (e.g., their decisions, behaviors, habits) or system (e.g., infrastructure, technology). Moreover, the laundry has been predominantly studied as a washing activity. This rese

Tekniker från maskininlärning används för att undersöka grundvatten i Sverige. I den första delen av uppsatsen används artificiella neuronnätverk och beslutsträd för att förutsäga hur hög grundvattennivån kommer vara i en brunn om en månad. För att göra detta används tidigare grundvattennivåer i brunnen och i andra närliggande brunnar. Historisk data över temperatur och nederbörd används också. I We apply neural networks and random forest to study geological data. In part one of the thesis, a ground water level prediction task is performed with recurrent neural networks, random forest and vector autoregression. The input data consists of weather data and other ground water level time series. The MAE and R-squared is evaluated and the variation in performance of the neural networks is discu

The role of grammar in language teaching has been a highly debated topic for several years. With the debate on how grammar should be taught, textbooks are one way of investigating how grammar is taught currently in schools. This study investigates how grammar exercises are incorporated in English textbooks for English 6 in upper secondary in Lund. Through a questionnaire and an analysis of grammar
