Historically, inhabitants have always altered their domestic spaces to adapt to different environmental conditions and to meet personal needs. Especially in rural dwellings, lowtech but very effective and simple ways of adaptations have been and are still in use. These methods stand more than ever diametral to the way we dwell and use our domestic spaces today. All the building ele- ments are gett

Studies show that employees are an organisation’s most important asset. Therefore, an employer needs to attract the desired future employees. Currently, core values appear frequently on employers’ websites. Core values could consequently operate as a part of external employer branding to attract candidates. The question remains whether core values matter to future employees when considering workin

The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of the use of discourses and their rhetorical design in corporate sustainability reports for securing and sustaining legitimacy over time within an industry that has an inherently adverse impact on the environment and has been subject to a variety of contextual changes within recent years. The purpose is fulfilled by conducting a three-leve

This thesis investigates the relationship between economic growth and income inequality in the European Union from 1991 to 2019, alongside examining the impact of EU membership on income inequality in Eastern European nations. The theoretical basis of the research is the Kuznets theory, and the study will utilise data from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators and employ a graphical method

Thesis Purpose: This study explores the major drivers and barriers to eco-innovation in Scandinavian and Finnish furniture companies, examining the influence of company size and age. The findings benefit stakeholders including businesses, policymakers, professionals, investors, and consumers. Theoretical Perspective: This study’s theoretical framework was developed through an exploration of eco-in

Introduction: Improvements of the analytical methods used to study starch microspheres that may aid the development and analysis of medical device products. Background: Some of the current methods used to study the starch microspheres may be time consuming, prone to errors (in cases of manual methods), in need of better reproducibility and robustness, and there is a demand to improve them. Aim: T

The study has explored the teams’ perceptions of driving forces and challenges of psychological safety (PS) in three different work-setting arrangements (WSAs), which are remote, hybrid, and on-site. These findings were discovered by interviewing three teams, each of which worked in different WSAs, and by asking them questions about what factors influence their PS. After that, thematic analysis wa

The fight against climate change has reached a critical point, requiring financial flows to align with climate-resilient pathways. This thesis investigates the alignment between sovereign green bonds and national climate targets. It expands the discussion from a corporate to a sovereign perspective, thus acknowledging the impact of sustainability disclosure practices by governments on the rest of

Syftet med att göra denna studie var att undersöka hur musiklärare anser att rörelse, rytmik och dans påverkar deras elevers trygghet, känsla av att våga ta plats och nervositet i musikundervisning. Studien genomfördes genom fyra semistrukturerade intervjuer med musiklärare som aktivt arbetar med rörelse i undervisningen i olika skolformer. Litteraturkapitlet beskriver vad dans och rytmik är, hur

USA invaderade Irak 2003 och i samband med denna invasion tog de över Abu Ghraib-fängelset, som ligger strax utanför Irakiska huvudstaden Baghdad. 2004 spreds en del bilder i medier runt om i världen, och dessa bilder visade irakiska fångar torterade och förnedrade av amerikanska soldater. Jag skrev denna studie för att studera amerikanska soldaters behandling av manliga irakiska fångar i samband

Under våren 2022 genomförde anställningsskyddslagen en förändring och den svenska arbetsrätten anses vara reformerad. En förändring av den svenska arbetsrätten har inte varit så omfattande sedan anställningsskyddslagen infördes 1973. Arbetsmarknaden präglas av kraven på flexibilitet och rörlighet samtidigt som anställningsskyddet behöver vara en trygghet för arbetstagare. Den svenska arbetsmarknadIn the spring of 2022, the Employment Protection Act implements a change and Swedish labor law is considered reformed. The transformation of Swedish labor law has not been as extensive since the introduction of the Employment Protection Act in 1973. The labor market is characterized by demands for flexibility and mobility, while employment protection needs to provide security for employees. The Sw

Syftet med den här undersökningen var att utveckla en förståelse för hur väl digitala lärresurser fungerar för elever på gymnasiets yrkesprogram. Enligt begreppet ”Digital Natives” skulle eleverna inte uppleva några problem alls, vilket visade sig inte vara fallet. Undersökningen realiserades genom en enkät som genomfördes på två olika gymnasieskolor med fem delvis olika klasser. Enkäten bestod av

When looking from the outside, Sweden is an exceptional country, with a tradition of neutrality and no notable colonial past; but history paints a different picture. This thesis investigates the portrayal of Sweden and the impact of narratives of Swedish exceptionalism in the Historiska Museet in Stockholm, through the analysis of the depiction of Swedish colonial history and Human Rights discours

Målet med detta arbete var att utveckla en prototyp av en kostnadseffektiv pulsgivare till motorerna för ASSA ABLOYs snabbrullduksportar. Pulsgivaren ger återkoppling till de automatiska dörrarnas kontrollsystem och ska göra detta på ett tillförlitligt sätt samtidigt som de ska vara mer kostnadseffektiva än de nuvarande lösningarna som används på ASSA ABLOY. Utöver detta ger en egen produkt företaThe goal of this thesis was to develop a prototype of a cost effective encoder unit for the motors of ASSA ABLOY high speed doors. The encoder will provide feedback for the automatic doors control system and has to do so reliably while being more cost effective than the current solutions used by ASSA ABLOY as well as giving the company more control over the value chain. Multiple encoder technologi

With countries across the world finding pathways to counter CO2 emissions, sustainable mobility has become a critical topic for leaders, policymakers, and industries. The development of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV’s) is seen as an important and effective way through which reliance on fossil fuels and thereby related CO2 emissions can be reduced. Statistics show that the number EV’s on the roads

Purpose – This study explores the underlying motives of individuals who have decided to stop flying for environmental reasons – hereinafter the non-flyers. We address this as an anti-consumption phenomenon that has increased traction in recent years due to the ever-increasing concern around environmental issues and their implications for the well-being of societies and the planet. In doing so, we

In this work, different solutions for human presence detection in a door intercom device are examined. The study was conducted at a company in Lund, Sweden. The aspiration was to have a reliable presence detection to be able to put the device in sleep mode when not used, and the current solution is not optimal because of limiting design requirements and false triggers. In the project, several diff
