The present thesis analyses the political and cultural ideas, as well as the narrative, articulated in the mid of the 19th century by prominent members of the student movement actively engaged in the pan-nationalistic, ideological current of scandinavianism. The research’s empirical material that conveys the narrative and idéas of the student movement was written and published in the early 1840s b
The overall theme for this thesis is circular economy and how it relates to resilience, specifically urban and economic resilience, by using Uppsala municipality as a case study. By conducting semi-structured interviews with municipal connected employees, along with analysing relevant municipal documents and statements, this paper examines how these two concepts relate to one another in a practica
Den tekniska utvecklingen har möjliggjort nya former av sexuella övergrepp mot barn, där fysiskt möte mellan förövare och barn ofta helt uteblir. Detta har lett till olika typer av utmaningar till det straffrättsliga system som länge varit inriktat på fysiska övergrepp. Trots att forskning visar att digitala övergrepp kan orsaka ett psykiskt lidande som är jämförbart med de vid fysiska handlingar,Advancements in technology have enabled new forms of child sexual abuse, where physical contact between the perpetrator and the child is entirely absent. This development challenged a criminal justice system which has historically focused on physical offences. Research shows that children that have been subjected to online sexual abuse often experience psychological harm that is just as severe as
This master thesis investigates the synthesis, structural characterization and electrochemical performance of copper(II) oxide (CuO) and cobalt-doped CuO nanofibers as electrocatalysts for the electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NO3-RR). The overarching aim is to assess their potential for sustainable ammonia production under ambient conditions. A series of exploratory synthesis trials rev
Title: Where Identity Meets Meaning - An interpretivist qualitative case study on identity construction in mission-driven non-profit organisations Authors: Leonie Erika Renate Brake and Emily Florentine Horn Supervisor: Stefan Sveningsson, Professor of Business Administration Lund University School of Economics and Management, Sweden Submission Date: 25th of May 2025 Purpose: This study aims to un
We are at a critical point where the carbon emissions worldwide must cease. One way to do so is to switch to renewable energy and become less dependent on fossil fuels. Solar power is an energy source which can be expanded rather quickly, and has become more common in the past years. The issue with large scale solar power plants is that they take up a lot of space, which leads to conflict of inter
The use of picture storybooks has the potential to foster children’s environmental awareness and promote behavioural change, but little is known about their connection to the local context, particularly in Vietnam. This thesis presents a qualitative content analysis of sixteen children’s picture storybooks with environmental themes written by Vietnamese authors and illustrators, examining how they
This thesis explores the application of European Union competition law — specifically Article 102 TFEU — to the regulatory conduct of dominant sports governing bodies such as UEFA, FIFA, and ISU. As sport has evolved into a major economic sector, the dual role of these organizations as both regulators and commercial actors has raised significant legal questions concerning abuse of dominance and ma
This study explores the interdependencies and cascading effects in the disaster response management for a possible 7.2 magnitude earthquake scenario in Metro Manila, focusing on the role of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) as the primary assisting region. The research is grounded in Complexity and Socio-Technical Network Theory, which provides that the disaster response management is a c
This master’s thesis explores everyday life on the islands Asperö and Brännö, located in the South archipelago of Gothenburg. Although the islands are part of the Gothenburg municipality, their geographical separation creates unique, place-specific challenges, while also the boundedness of the islands' isolation fosters a sense of community among residents. The aim of the study is to gain an u
This study presents a mineralogical, textural and structural assessment of the Cambrian Faludden Sandstone Member (Borgholm Formation) and Lower Silurian mudstone (unspecified formation), for their potential use as reservoir and caprock, respectively, for deep carbon storage in the Swedish sector of the Baltic Sea subsurface. The study was performed on two drillcores from the island of Gotland, No
There is an expanding literature on the economic long-term effects of exogenous shocks such as armed conflict and economic crises. While some studies find evidence of poverty traps, the majority support the neoclassical prediction of eventual catch-up growth. This study contributes to the debate by examining Cambodia, which arguably became the most severely bombed country in history and site of on
Intangible assets are a cornerstone of the modern technological economy. Intellectual property (IP) provides incentives for continued scientific development through the protection of innovation and creativity. This technological development has allowed vast creations that solve daily challenges; nevertheless, as the negative externalities seen in the effects of anthropogenic climate change become
Studien syftar till att rättsdogmatiskt undersöka hur kryptovalutor ska beskattas enligt svensk inkomstskattelag. Uppsatsen analyserar även hur denna nya typ av valuta bör klassificeras enligt gällande rätt samt vilket inkomstslag som är mest tillämpbar vid beskattning. Studien grundas på lagstiftning, förarbeten, praxis från Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen, uttalanden från Skatteverket och doktrin. This study aims to conduct a legal dogmatic analysis of how cryptocurrencies should be taxed under the Swedish income Tax Act. The thesis examines how this new type of currency should be classified under current law and which income category is most applicable for taxation. The study is based on legislation, preparatory works, case law from the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court (Högsta förvaltn
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of highly persistent synthetic chemicals that have raised growing concern due to their widespread presence in the environment and potential health effects. This study focuses on Lake Bolmen, one of southern Sweden’s most important sources of drinking water, and investigates how PFAS enter and accumulate in the lake. A total of 23 PFAS compound
The research analyzes the narratives of LGBTQ+ people who are in exile from Russia and examines how their experiences reflect broader security narratives within Russian politics. To carry out this study, this research draws upon interdisciplinary theories from political psychology, critical security studies, and queer theory, with a particular focus on Lacan's concept of fantasy along with the
This thesis investigates the application of machine learning and statistical methods for forecasting hourly public transport validations using ticket‐validation data. After cleaning and aggregating validations into hourly counts, temporal features such as hour of day, weekday, and month are engineered. The modeling approaches include long short‐term memory networks trained with mean absolute error
This thesis explores how dialogue functioned as a practice of knowledge circulation within the International Dialogue Project (1977–1988), an ambitious and largely overlooked initiative led by Anne Buttimer and Torsten Hägerstrand. Conceived as an effort to bridge generational, disciplinary, and geographic divides, the project produced over 150 video-recorded interviews with senior scholars from v
The product space conditions the process through which economies become complex and develop. Does it also condition aid effectiveness? This thesis examines the relationship between technical cooperation (TC) and economic complexity and brings a novel perspective by documenting that the complexity opportunity index (COI) significantly enhances the association. Employing fixed effects panel regressi
