Kritskollor, eller stora flak av kritbergarter, transporterades subglacialt med den senaste inlandsisen reträtt och hittas idag delvis blottlagda längs den skånska sydkusten. Utanför Malmö utvanns högren krita från dessa flak fram till slutet av 1900-talet och var en viktig exportvara. Idag importeras en stor del av de renare karbonatbergarterna från bland annat europeiska länder för olika industrCretaceous chalk rafts were transported subglacially with the last ice sheet retreat and are today found partially exposed along the southern coast of Skåne. Outside Malmö, chalk was extracted from these rafts until the end of the 20th century, when it was an important export commodity. Today, a large portion of the purer carbonate rocks are imported from Europe and other countries for various ind

A product-variety growth model is presented, featuring regions with diverse basic input prices, intermediate good technologies with randomly distributed usage intensities for those inputs, and technology improvement with usage eventually leading to the spread of these technologies. Exponential long-term growth is derived in the specified model. The probability of new technologies being immediately

This thesis examines a generation taking over the workforce: Generation Z. The purpose is to assess how Gen Z is motivated, how that differs cross-culturally, and ways in which management can respond to maximise job satisfaction and motivation, thereby increasing top talent. Gen Z is a strongly intrinsically motivated group of young professionals who are changing the workforce. We found subtle dif

Studien undersöker representationen av kvinnliga flyktingar från Ukraina i nyhetsmediers fotografiska rapportering. Syftet är att undersöka vilken bild som ges av kvinnliga flyktingar från Ukraina i svenska nyhetsmedier. För att undersöka detta har bilder från Associated Press som har valts ut, köpts in och publicerats av Sydsvenskan analyserats. Studien har genomförts med hjälp av en multimodal d

Entrepreneurship Education (EE) is key to innovation, social and economic growth. This thesis aims to recognize how graduates from the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Master’s in Lund University, who did not start a venture post-graduation, apply the program’s learnings while employed in private corporations in Sweden. By researching corporate entrepreneurship or intrapreneurship through these ind

This study is aimed at developing a deeper understanding of the relational dynamic of tandem partners. Job sharing is a unique workplace arrangement that involves two individuals of equal standing who are closely collaborating and continuously interacting, each with accountability and responsibility to the tandem. The purpose of this study is to discover how the partners perceive their relatio

This anthropological study looks at theater improv as a social phenomena and how experienced theater improvisers explain the experience of theater improv when it is at its best. This study also relate theater improv to the anthropological tradition of performance research, the construction of narratives and navigation of self within the framework of the social structures of society. The study sho

Addiction to alcohol and drugs is a severe social problem all over the world and in all fields of social work. One of the most common treatments for addiction in Sweden is the Twelve Step Program (Socialstyrelsen 2021, s. 43). The twelve- step program is founded on a christian American perspective on addiction and a fundamental part of the treatment is to develop a spirituality to overcome an obse

To achieve effective product development with the help of computer-aided engineering, accurate material models are of importance to make well-motivated predictions regarding structural properties. Haldex AB produce, among other products, brakes for heavy vehicles. Finite element simulations are well incorporated in the development of the caliper, which is casted in ductile cast iron. To get a bett

In our qualitative study we examined various public online discussion forums in order to shed light on the experiences of partners to people suffering from problematic alcohol and substance abuse. Doing so we encountered numerous stories of shame, blame, hope and despair. Our ambition was to contribute to the existing knowledge of the family perspective in the area of concern, something we believe

Sustainable finance has become of great importance over the past years, especially due to global climate development, resulting in increased awareness among public and private sectors, and hence, more conscientious investors. In a market familiar with green bonds, Sustainability-Linked Bonds (SLBs) emerged as a new financial instrument posing a lesser greenwashing risk and, therefore, greater pote

This qualitative study aimed to shed light on how active members of the climate movement Extincion Rebellion Sweden apply civil disobedience as a tool for political change, and how they in the application of civil disobedience relate to the political and legal system. Six semi structured interviews were conducted, which then were analyzed using John Rawl’s theory of civil disobedience, as well as

Forskning kring asexualitet är fortfarande skral till sin mängd och bredd jämfört med forskning kring andra sexuella minoriteter och har dessutom till stor del uppehållit sig vid definition av asexualitet snarare än fördjupad förståelse av exempelvis asexuella narrativ. Denna uppsats ämnar utforska hur medikaliserande diskurs konstruerar (a)sexualitet som avvikande och vad sådan diskurs kan säga o

The nitrogenase reaction mechanism has been examined using several variations of QM/MM (Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical) methods. All calculations were based on a 1.0Å X-ray crystal structure and were performed with the software ComQum and Turbomole. The investigation consists of three distinct projects. First, redox potentials between different states of the P-cluster and the FeMo clus

The past decades have seen an exponential growth of the lithium-ion battery (LIB) market as use of this high-energy storage has found applications in nearly every industry. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is interested in implementing this technology within their underground network and this literature review is intended to assist with addressing fire and safety concerns. Thi

Rwanda is highly exposed to floods and landslides due to intense precipitation, rapid population growth, varied topography and agricultural growth. One of the most vulnerable areas is the Nyabarongo catchment. A subcatchment of the Nyabarongo catchment, Bakokwe, was chosen as a case study for this thesis. The aim was to evaluate the causes, consequences and future challenges of floods and landslid

Background: Despite the surcharge for the rush orders and discounts for the normal orders, some dealers of Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) in the EU region frequently make rush orders. Currently, there are three types of orders implemented by Volvo CE: Emergency Order (EO) which is processed at the same day the order is received by the Distribution Centre (DC), Day Order (DO) which is pro

Cereal grains are an important staple in many diets across the globe. Being one of the most cultivated cereal crops worldwide, especially in Nordic countries, oats are known to have a high dietary fibre content and a nutritional value that makes them highly beneficial for human health. Avenanthramides are a group of phenolic compounds that, among other cereal grains, are only produced in oats. Ave

The purpose of the study is to contribute to the research gap on the relationship between employee engagement and a purpose-driven organizational mode. Our research, which adheres to the interpretive tradition of symbolic interactionism (SI) comprises a qualitative single-case study in a purpose-driven organization and follows an abductive approach. We generated our empirical data by collecting 12
