Det finns cirka 85 000 identifierade platser i Sverige där antingen miljöfarlig verksamhet pågår eller har pågått och där det kan förekomma förorenade områden. Världen över finns det olika metoder som används för riskklassning av förorenade områden. I Sverige används Metodik för Inventering av Förorenade Områden (MIFO) som Naturvårdsverket tagit fram och publicerat i rapport 4918. MIFO används somIndustrial activities, mining and waste management have resulted in extensive contamination of soil, surface water and groundwater all over the world. Around the world, there are different methods used to classify contaminated sites into different risk classes. In Sweden, the method for the inventory of contaminated sites (MIFO) is used. Naturvårdsverket developed it in 1999. MIFO is divided into

This thesis examines how different fleet ownership models, most notably wet-leasing, have an effect on European airlines' safety performance. Aircraft leasing has expanded significantly across the modern aviation sector, offering operational flexibility at the same time as adding complexity to the management of safety issues. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining quantitative analysi

Digitaliseringen har omformat rekryteringsprocessen, där digitala verktyg som bygger på automatisering och artificiell intelligens (AI) fått en allt mer framträdande roll. Denna studie undersöker hur digitala rekryteringsverktyg används och upplevs av både yrkesverksamma och kandidater under rekryteringsprocessens tidiga skede. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer belyses användning, upplevelser och attit

The rapid emergence of generative artificial intelligence has sparked both excitement and concern across creative industries. The thesis examines how professionals in the Swedish gaming industry perceive Gen-AI’s role in creative workflows. Using a qualitative approach grounded in semi-structured interviews, an extended Technology Acceptance Model is ap-plied to explore themes such as usefulness,

Har verkligen denna nya fälla för nattfjärilar vad som krävs för att störta den äldre modellen? LED har börjats använda i större grad bland levandefällor för nattfjärilar, och Lunds Universitet har förut endast köpt en sådan typ av fälla från Nederländerna. Men numera har en liknande version med möjlighet till mer ljus byggs vid Biologiska Insitutionen i Lund, och test har visat att nattfjärilarnaDue to the increasing significance of moth species’ contributions to pollination, and the relatively new advancements of AI and LED within this field of study, there is interest in developing a light trap that is both easier to get a hold of and more adapted to the conditions of a northern country like Sweden. In this study I evaluate one such LED-based Light trap and compare it to a more well-tes

Människor har att tacka fotosyntesen för sin existens. Fotosyntesen sker inuti bladen hos högt stående växter, alger, samt hos vissa mikroorganismer (t ex gröna svavelbakterier, cyanobakterier, etc). Fotosyntesens första steg involverar uppfångandet av ljus och överförandet av dess energi till något som kallas reaktionscentrat. Processen involverar en molekyl som kallas (bakterie)klorofyll. Där fiThe purpose of this study is two-fold: first to validate previous findings, that showed that the central atom in (bacterio)chlorophyll changes ligand coordination number upon being cooled at a certain rate (in certain solvents), and to resolve the Qx and Qy bands from the total absorption spectrum. We studied bacteriochlorophyll A (BChl A), bacteriochlorophyll C (BChl C), and chlorophyll A (Chl A)

Demands for socialization understood as the collective, democratically governed ownership of essential goods, are growing louder in Germany’s energy sector. This thesis critically examines how German labor unions and environmental NGOs articulate the concept of socialization within the energy sector, using Antonio Gramsci’s cultural hegemony and Nancy Fraser’s progressive neoliberalism as theoreti

With ongoing strains and disparities in the healthcare system, Generative AI applications are increasingly viewed as promising tools to alleviate pressure in this sector. Trust is seen as a critical enabler for the integration of GenAI tools. However, this area remains largely unexplored, with limited research examining user-perceived trust. This study addresses this gap by adopting a qualitative

In an increasingly dynamic and complex business environment, organizations must develop the capacity to effectively adapt to continuous change to remain competitive. Many organizations are facing a significant disconnection between realizing the need for change and being able to successfully implement it, underlining the need for structured change management approaches in driving change initiative

Social isolation and loneliness among older adults are growing public health concerns. Although information and communication technologies (ICT) are increasingly promoted to foster social connectedness, how older adults perceive and adopt these technologies remains underexplored. This study applies the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to examine ICT engagement among older

The transition to sustainable energy systems is one of the defining challenges of the 21st century in Europe, especially in the context of the ambitious climate goals of the European Union. This thesis investigates the differences in strategic approaches towards the fundamental energy transition between the Nordic countries and the Central European countries. The focus of this thesis is specifical

Varför kriminaliseras och stigmatiseras vissa droger, när andra förblir både socialt och juridiskt accepterade, trots liknande skadeverkningar? Denna fråga utgör en central utgångspunkt i den svenska drogdebatten, där alkohol är en laglig substans med stark kulturell acceptans, medan narkotika juridiskt definieras som förbjudna ämnen med skadliga eller beroendeframkallande effekter. Syftet med den

Bakgrund: På HVB (Hem för Vård eller Boende) hem bor individer i varierande åldrar med problematik såsom missbruk och psykiatriska diagnoser, där brist på struktur och meningsfull vardag ofta utgör ett hinder för utveckling.
