Six silos stand as surreal monolithic objects amongst the newly developed housing area in Limhamn, Malmö. They are one of the last reminders of the district’s cement manufacturing history and have a controversial presence in their central urban position with plans to convert their plot into a mixed-use housing development. This thesis project centers around these underutilized voids in the city an
Increased emphasis on sustainable practices and reducing the global warming potential (GWP) kg CO2 equivalent emissions of buildings and construction processes to mitigate climate change has led to a growing interest in refurbishment and transformation of existing buildings. However, balancing daylight provision with environmental impact targets can be challenging, especially in high-latitude Nord
Adoption of people analytics (PA) tools in human resources (HR) remains limited, despite increasing efforts to democratize data across organizations. This thesis examined how three change management facilitators, namely leadership support, training programs, and “What’s In It For Me” campaigns, relate to HR professionals’ use of PA dashboards. Using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a frame
The future in a world of climate change is yet to be written. In this study I explore how climate change and its consequences can be framed in dystopian and apocalyptic visions of the future. This is done by studying a Swedish radio podcast called P3 Dystopia. I also research what views the listeners of the podcast express regarding climate change and through which discourses these views can be un
Människor i hjälpande roller upplever i stor utsträckning arbetsrelaterad stress, vilket för många resulterar i utbrändhet eller annan psykisk ohälsa. Utvecklandet av självmedkänsla kan enligt forskare ha en skyddande effekt mot bland annat utbrändhet. Korta compassionfokuserade interventioner har i tidigare studier visats bidra till just ökad självmedkänsla och minskad stress. Syftet med den aktuPeople in helping professions experience a great deal of work-related stress, which for many result in burnout or other mental health issues. Developing self-compassion can, according to researchers, have a protective effect against burnout, among other things. Previous studies on brief compassion focused interventions have shown an improvement in self-compassion and reduced stress. The purpose of
De senaste åren har fastighetsbolagen fått hantera ett stigande ränteläge från historiskt låga nivåer. Ökningen av styrräntan började under 2022 och sen dess har många fastighetsbolag haft en utmanande period, inte minst på världens börser. I media har det skrivits om att många fastighetsbolag har haft svårt att hantera de ökade räntekostnaderna. Fastighetsbolag bygger ofta på en relativt hög belåFor the past few years, the commercial real estate companies in Sweden have been affected by rising interest rates from previously low levels. The interest rates started to rise at the beginning of 2022, a challenging period for most of the commercial real estate companies. This can not only be seen in the companies financial data but also on the stock market. The media has written about the chall
The gig economy has expanded rapidly across the globe, and has become an increasingly influential feature of modern labour markets. The flexibility and autonomy offered by gig work coupled with the ability to earn a steady income are recognised benefits by many workers on digital platforms. These benefits can work synergistically with entrepreneurship, which is often characterised by uncertain tim
Leakage of iron and aluminium from acid sulphate soils has received more and more recognition in Sweden during recent years. Research show that key drivers for this release of metals is lowered groundwater levels and aeration of sulphide soils which turns the soils into acidic sulphate soils. This can cause exstensive degradation of the surrounding environment which has been observed downstrea
This thesis investigates the potential of using Fourier neural operators to predict subsonic and supersonic flows in converging-diverging nozzles, which includes complex flow phenomena such as shock waves. Two different data sets were generated using the Euler equations for fluid flow, one based on analytical relations for a quasi one-dimensional nozzle and another one which was created by numeric
This study investigates how EPU affects stock returns and volatility for Sweden’s four largest banks: Swedbank, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, Svenska Handelsbanken, and Nordea. As a small open economy with a concentrated and globally exposed banking sector, Sweden is particularly vulnerable to both domestic and international uncertainty shocks. Using monthly data from 2000 to 2024, we apply a GAR
The climate crisis will continue to threaten coastal cities. The mitigation method of building seawalls along the coast is often seen as an effective remedy for recurring floods. However, this infrastructure can have severe impacts on communities that rely on fishing and aquaculture. There need to be alternatives to the usual urban planning and design methods, which often overlook less fortunate
As climate change reshapes agricultural possibilities across Europe, new crops are emerging in previously marginal regions. In Skåne, southern Sweden, commercial wine production has expanded in recent years. This study explores how local winegrowers perceive the role of climate change in this development, what climate-related risks and opportunities they foresee, and what strategies they adopt to
The objective of this study is to investigate how the power profiles of residential houses in Sweden may look like in the future. Median power profiles for typical summer and winter days were created using real customer data. The customer group analyzed consists of houses in southern Sweden, SE4, equipped with both solar electricity production (PV) and electric vehicles (EVs) with home charging st
Byggbranschen står inför en digital transformation där teknologier som digitala tvillingar, artificiell intelligens och internet of things börjar implementeras allt mer idag. Genom att skapa en digital modell som kontinuerligt uppdateras med realtidsdata och kopplas samman med fysiska byggnader, möjliggörs det övervakning, analysering och optimering av byggnadens prestanda. Syftet med studien ha
This thesis investigates the climate impact of a newly constructed residential complex in Oceanhamnen, Helsingborg, through an extended life cycle assessment (LCA) covering both building and non-building elements such as road infrastructure, inner courtyards, external installations, that area often overlooked in conventional assessments. The aim is to develop a replicable method to quantify the gl
This essay examines the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's rhetoric on Russia's war in Ukraine, how it constructs Hungary's national identity and its implication for Hungary's foreign policy. The analysis is based on a Critical Discourse Analysis, which serves to critically analyse Orbán's statements in interviews, speeches and social media, among others. By analyzing Orbá
Detta examensarbete handlar om att beskriva hur kreativa processer såsom flow kan se ut i en musikers vardag. Vidare berör arbetet hur musiker kan berika sin kreativitet och konstnärlighet genom att kombinera musikaliska aktiviteter med teoretiska resonemang och problemlösning. Arbetet lyfter fram att grundläggande faktorer som kost, sömn, återhämtning och trygghet är avgörande för ett hållbart muThis thesis explores how creative processes take shape in the everyday lives of musicians and how they can be enriched through a combination of practical musicianship and theoretical reflection. Through semi-structured interviews with musicians, along with personal reflections, the thesis highlights how creativity and artistic expression can be strengthened by conscious problem-solving and critica
Traditionally rooted in a linear economy model, the European food industry is now rapidly shifting towards circular supply chain systems. Compared to the previous model, this approach offers significant environmental and socio-economic benefits, including greater resource efficiency, waste reduction, and increased market competitiveness. Despite a clear theoretical framework based on the principle
