Sveriges skogar är viktiga för klimatet! I Sverige är kalhuggning med efterföljande återplantering den vanligaste metoden för att bruka skog (så kallat rotationsskogsbruk). Med en hög andel skog som är brukad är det viktigt att förstå vilken påverkan på klimatet det har. I denna studie visas tydligt att utsläppen av koldioxid ökar när skogen huggs ner, vilket bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen.Levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHG) are rising, thereby acceler-ating global warming and related effects on the environment. Forests are an important ecosystem and can act as carbon sinks, providing a buffer against these effects. However, disturbances such as clearcutting can turn the forests into carbon sources. In this project, the effects of clearcutting on the carb

Denna uppsats har till avsikt att undersöka hur den svenska polismyndighetens gestaltning i TV-produktioner kan relateras till strategisk kommunikation, varumärkesbyggande och varumärkesambassadörer. Uppsatsen syftar även till att belysa hur poliser själva uppfattar denna mediala representation. Forskningen baseras på TV-produktionen Poliserna i våldsvågen, och kommer att examinera hur poliser strThis thesis aims to examine how the portrayal of the Swedish Police Authority in television productions is possible to relate to strategic communication, branding and brand ambassadors. It also aims to unfold how police officers themselves perceive the media representation. The research is focused on the TV-production Poliserna i våldsvågen, and will examine how the police officers are strategical

The way in which gender inequality (GI) is conceptualized contributes to determining approaches to overcome it and, ultimately, to achieve gender equality. There has been little previous research on the conceptualization of GI by civil society organizations (CSOs). This thesis aims to improve our understanding of how CSOs conceptualize GI today, how they understand changes in how GI has been conce

This thesis examines how national identity influenced Swedish and Danish diplomatic strategies within the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) from 1960 to 1962, and how these strategies were portrayed in national newspapers. By applying a theoretical framework focused on interpreting diplomatic intentions, alongside a narrative analysis of news articles, the study scrutinises EFTA documents and

The pursuit of economic growth is driving multiple global crises, including climate change, ecologicalcollapse, and rising inequality. As a high-income nation, Australia contributes to these problems, whilealso experiencing their impacts. Degrowth offers a radical alternative, yet remains marginalised in politicaland public debates. This thesis investigates the degrowth movement in Australia throu

This project aims to study wide angle scattering events at LDMX through simulation. LDMX is a fixed target experiment searching for missing momentum of the beam electrons to identify dark matter signals. It consists of a tracking system around the thin tungsten target placed in a 1.5 T magnetic field, to measure the momentum of electrons before and after the target, and calorimeters (electromagnet

This thesis provides an ethnographic analysis of civil society participation in the peace negotiations between the Colombian government and the insurgent group, the National Liberation Army (ELN). It examines how civil society actors navigated, engaged with, and attempted to influence the participatory process at the heart of the peace talks—negotiating internal and external power relations while

This thesis contributes to scaling literature by offering an employee-centred view of scaling processes and enriching Picken’s (2017a) model with insights from employee experiences. Further, it critically analyses the ‘growing pains’ metaphor and highlights how it shapes and can obscure perceptions of workplace change.

As Sweden expands and modernizes its railway network, the design of durable and cost- efficient railway bridges becomes increasingly important. A central technical challenge in this context is track-bridge interaction (TBI), the mechanical interplay between the rail and bridge structure. This interaction affects how forces from traffic loads, temperature variations and braking are transferred with

Viscosity and rheological behaviour are key parameters in anything from the eating experience and mouthfeel of a product to the design choices of pumps, pipes, and down to the filling of packages in packaging and processing equipment. Many companies in the food industry use relative methods of measuring viscosity for quality assurance, as they are usually simple and inexpensive. However, these rel

Project management is a widely discussed subject in both project management literature and academia. Still, organizations struggle with the complexity of managing projects effectively, especially in complex industrial environments. This thesis investigates investment projects at ABB in a single case study to explore which methodology is appropriate for investment projects within the organization.

Soil ecosystems are under pressure from a variety of anthropogenic drivers. Yet, we know surprisingly little about the soil biota, which is believed to be the basis of healthy soils. This thesis explores how Danish agricultural advisors work with soil biota to ensure sustainable soil management.Through qualitative interviews, practices, and challenges in caring for soil biota are revealed, uncover

In the face of growing geopolitical uncertainty, climate change, and increasing reliance on complex global supply chains, the issue of security of food supply has gained renewed urgency in Sweden. This thesis investigates how the national security of food supply can be enhanced by integrating the perspectives of stakeholders involved in the Swedish food system. Adopting a qualitative approach, the

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står idag för cirka 40% av EU:s totala energianvändning och 36% av de energirelaterade utsläppen av växthusgaser. Samtidigt har en stor del av byggnadsbeståndet låg energiprestanda och omställningstakten mot ett mer energieffektivt och klimatneutralt byggnadsbestånd är låg. För att påskynda denna utveckling har EU antagit en tillväxtstrategi med målet att vid år 2050 upThe building and real estate sector currently accounts for about 40% of the EU’s total energy use and 36% of its energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, a large part of the building stock has low energy performance, and the shift towards a more energy-efficient and climate-neutral building stock is proceeding slowly. To speed up this development, the EU has adopted a growth stra

This paper examines whether Sweden's shift towards New Public Management (NPM) has affected unemployment and crime rates at the municipal level. Using panel data from 290 Swedish municipalities (1995–2021) and a regression discontinuity design, I test whether left-wing governance (as a proxy for lower NPM adoption) impacts these social outcomes. Results show that narrower left-wing coalition g

As climate change alters the geophysical conditions of the Arctic, foreign policymakers are increasingly looking towards the region as a new theatre of potential conflict or cooperation. This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of the literature, integrating both academic and government resources, to determine how the discourse conceptualizes the climate-conflict nexus in the Arctic.

ISAC - Integrerad Avkänning och Kommunikation, är ett nytt och växande forskningsområde som förenar två tidigare separata men närbesläktade områden, avkänning (sensing), och kommunikation. Detta görs genom att dela hårdvara, konfigurationer och tekniker för de båda applikationerna. Detta arbete inriktar sig specifikt på implementationen av ISAC inom låg-komplexitets millimetervågsarkitekturer förISAC, or Integrated Sensing and Communication, is a growing research area and is expected to be an important part of the forthcoming 6G wireless communication standard. In this thesis, we focus on examining performance and limitations of an ISAC-radar in a low-complexity mmWave beamforming architecture. We design methods to detect multiple nearby targets and estimate their range, velocity, angle o

This thesis aims to address the complex legal challenges related to the responsibility of multinational corporations for human rights violations and environmental harm in global supply chains. Starting from the context of increasing pressure on transnational businesses and the shortcomings of soft law instruments such as the UN Guiding Principles and the OECD Guidelines, the study examines the pot

Bakgrund: I Sverige föds vart femte barn med kejsarsnitt, varav majoriteten kvinnor är vakna med regional anestesi. Anestesisjuksköterskan delar omvårdnadsansvaret med barnmorskan. Studier har visat lägre nöjdhet vid kejsarsnitt än vid vaginal förlossning. Syfte: Att undersöka kvinnors upplevelse av den intraoperativa fasen av kejsarsnitt i regional anestesi. Metod: Systematisk litteraturstudi
