Flood risk assessment using GIS and multi-criteria analysis: a pilot study from Rönne å River basin, Scania, Sweden

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

Assessment of Sediment Transportation Along the Southern and Eastern Coast of Scania, Sweden: A Case Study of Storm Babet

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

Unpacking Sustainability Tensions: A Case Study of a Swedish Single-Use Paper Products and Packaging Company

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

Incubation behaviour and nesting success of three species of sea ducks in the Swedish archipelago of the Baltic Sea

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

Evaluating Environmental Impacts: Embodied Carbon Assessment of Ventilation, Electrical, and Plumbing Systems in Swedish School Architecture

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

Evaluating the impact of agriculture on albedo using Sentinel-2 data in southern Sweden

The climate impact of food production plays a big part in the anthropogenic climate impact. Mitigation strategies from this sector are hence of great importance. One area which mainly has been used to calculate climate impact is albedo, the overall reflectance of incoming radiation in all directions. Albedo has been measured for a long time and is vital when calculating the energy balance of an a

Evaluating the Impact of M&A Capabilities on Strategic Decision-Making for Internationalization: A case study of a Swedish SaaS platform firm

Much work has established M&A capabilities and its impact on M&A performance, likewise, a great deal of research has investigated internationalization. However, little theoretical attention has been brought to the implications of M&A capabilities on firms formulating internationalization strategies. This study examines how M&A capabilities impact decision-making processes in strate

Examining the impact of nuclear and renewable energy sources on environmental quality: Testing the EKC and LCC hypotheses for Sweden

This study investigates the impacts of nuclear and renewable energy consumption on Sweden’s environmental quality from 1965 to 2022. The study employs an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach combined with a Bounds test to examine the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and Load Capacity Curve (LCC) hypotheses simultaneously. This is conducted within the context of Sweden

Exploring Swedish Perspectives on Generative AI in Graphic Design

This study explores the perceptions of graphic designers regarding the impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) on their profession. It aims to highlight practical examples of how GenAI is integrated into the work of graphic designers. To achieve this, qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews with six professional graphic designers. The findings reveal that the

Mamlets - A Sustainable Parklet Network in Malmö, Sweden

Today cities are the result of centuries of history and human development, accelerated during the past 100 years. Post-industrialization, modernism’s top-down city planning approach, and the prioritisation of motor vehicle design over humans resulted in more people moving to cities, more space needed to allocate new vehicles, expansion over rural areas, and exponential pollution growth. Thus, huma

What's in the budget? An economic study of Swedish household consumption

This thesis examines how income affects household consumption in Sweden between 1999 and 2009. Using data from SCB, the study explores how people with different income levels spend their money on various goods and services. The analysis is based on Engel’s law, which suggests that as income increases, the share of spending on basic needs like food goes down, while spending on non-essential or luxu

Student Perceptions of Achieving Intended Learning Outcomes with Generative AI: A Study in Swedish Higher Education Using Qualitative Methods

This qualitative study investigates the effect that Generative AI (GenAI) tools have on students' achievement of Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) in higher education institutions (HEIs), focusing on perceptions and utilizing the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) Taxonomy. Conducting several semi-structured interviews, the study investigates the role of GenAI in potentially imp

Evaluation of Nanofiltration and Reverse Osmosis Membranes' Performance for PFAS and Ion Rejection from Drinking Water Sources in Sweden

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) include a large group of chemicals that has been used for many decades because of their mechanical and chemical stability. They owe these unique features due to the strong C-F bonds in their molecules. PFAS can be fully or partly fluorinated and the more fluorinated they get, the more persistent they become. They have been used in several industries such
