About a third (1.3 billion tons per year) of global food production is lost or wasted from the initial stages of farm production down to final household consumption and this global challenge has undesirable environmental, economic, and social effects. Notwithstanding the fact that the challenge of food loss and waste has received global attention, not many comparative studies have been conducted t

This bachelor thesis invites the reader to examine how social media platforms have been used by companies during the 2020 corona pandemic. This study bases its case by focusing on a global consulting company with offices in both Denmark and Sweden and how these two offices have used social media platforms LinkedIn and Facebook to communicate during the pandemic. Both countries have utilized diffe

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa faktorer som påverkar arbetsrelaterad stress samt faktorer som kan motverka arbetsrelaterad stress hos nyexaminerade sjuksköterskor. Metod: En induktiv li

This thesis is a material science research collaboration between the Division ofProduction and Materials Engineering at Lund Faculty of Engineering and theComputer-Aided Engineerings group at BorgWarner, Landskrona. The objectiveof the thesis is to explore the convertion of nanoindentation load-depth curves intotensile stress-strain curves, and to provide BorgWarner Landskrona with nanoin-dentatio

As tariffs and other conventional barriers to trade have been substantially dismantled over the course of the past decades, the relative costs of inefficient trade procedures have risen and their trade distorting effects are gaining more attention from both policymakers and academics. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the emerging literature on the topic by turning the scope towards th

Uppmaningen till att leva hållbart genomsyrar samhället, fast en övergång till hållbara liv är långt ifrån verklighet. Genom att förstå hur individer ser på hållbara liv i relation till välmående kan potentiellt hjälpa människor i övergången till mer hållbara liv. Den här studien var förregistrerad till undersöka valensen av individers syn på en hållbar livsstil, och hur denna synen relaterar tillThe call for living sustainably can be seen in many places throughout society, although a transition towards sustainable lifestyles is far from a reality. Understanding how people view sustainable living in relation to well-being can potentially help individuals in the transition to live more sustainably. This study was pre-registered to examine the valence of how people view sustainable lifestyle

Direct bandgap metal lead halide perovskites offer promising optoelectronic properties desirable in a wide range of applications including photodetection. However, the incomplete and poor understanding of the photophysical processes taking place in these materials, along with their poor stability, is the bottleneck for optimisation and further development of metal halide perovskite devices. In thi

This study aims to investigate judicial decisions of people between the ages of 13-18 years old who have been placed in compulsory care according to the prerequisite “other socially destructive behavior”. A prerequisite that has been criticized for being far too open for interpretation. This study is based on 28 judgments from the administrative court of appeal (Kammarrätten) in 2019, involving 16

The ideal survey is a survey without errors. This essay seeks possible improvements to diminish the item non-response error in order to minimize the total error. It’s done by investigating and analyzing the results from the Census of Agriculture 2020 made by the Swedish Board of Agri-culture. Normally an evaluation of a survey and its errors is useless since the survey is already conducted and the

Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa är ett växande hälsoproblem. Kreativa aktiviteter, som körsång, har visats ge personer en rad sociala, psykologiska och hälsofrämjande fördelar. Det finns forskning från andra professioner men det saknas ett arbetsterapeutiskt perspektiv. Att göra en litteraturöversikt är aktuellt för att konstatera vad det finns för forskning idag om sång i grupp och dess inverkan på persBackground: Mental illness is a growing health problem. Creative activities, such as choir singing, have proved to give people a range of social, psychological and health-promoting benefits. There are literature reviews from other professions but there is a void in knowledge when it comes to occupational therapy perspective and occupational science. A qualitative literature review is relevant to e

The aim of this study was to investigate how people who have been on sick leave due to ​fatigue syndrome, reason about the interaction with authorities, the employers and health care, and how they describe their experiences of the sick leave procedure and their way forward from there. We conducted a qualitative study with nine semi-structured interviews. For our theoretical approach we applied the

Hur förändras fokus hos svenska myndigheter efter att en större händelse inträffat? I detta nu har covid-19 ett hårt grepp om Sverige där svenska myndigheter har en svår uppgift att bistå alla delar av samhället som har påverkats på ett eller annat sätt. Ingen människa hade med säkerhet kunnat förutspå när en pandemi skulle slå mot världen, men flera har varnat och menat att man borde förberett sIn crisis management, risk and vulnerability analysis (RVA’s) should be used as a first step in a risk management chain that aims to reduce risks, reduce vulnerabilities in the society and to improve our ability to prevent, resist and manage crises and extraordinary events. Organisations obliged to conduct RVA´s have the freedom to adapt the work to their own needs. For example, this means that th

Uppsatsen ARG – medborgarengagemang i tider av missnöje ämnar undersöka engagemanget i protesterna mot Lunds kommuns förslag om byggnationen i Kvarteret Galten. Frågeställningen syftar på hur engagemang kan förstås utifrån teorier om medborgarkultur, emotioner och engagemang samt utifrån Pierre Rosanvallons (2006) teori om motdemokrati och det rådande missnöjet gentemot politiker och det politiska

Economic growth has always been a topic of interest. The approach to influencing factors has developed over time. Due to the established theories broadly generalized assumptions, more focus has been assigned to the stock market. Studies on the topic present different results and therefore more research is of demand. The purpose of the study is to examine whether the stock market can be used as an

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether a multifactor approach can explain the weekly rate of return from Swedish stocks in the forest sector listed on the OMX Stockholm Large Cap stock exchange. Research on this subject in a Swedish context is scarce, with only a handful of previous studies conducted, primarily using the Capital Asset Pricing Model, CAPM. A regression model is conduct

Veganism har blivit ett vanligare livsval hos ungdomar idag. Då detta livsval går emot den rådande samhällsnormen utsätts veganer för diskriminering. Eftersom ungdomstiden utgör en känslig tid är det viktigt att undersöka hur detta livsval och den diskriminering som medföljer, påverkar välmående och identitetsutveckling hos denna grupp. Fem semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med veganer i ålVeganism has become a more common life choice among adolescents today. As this life choice goes against the prevailing societal norm, vegans are subjected to discrimination. Since adolescence is a sensitive time, it is important to examine how this life choice and the discrimination that accompanies it affects the well-being and identity development of this group. Five semi-structured interviews w

Upphovsrätten är ett rättsområde i ständig förändring. Den svenska upphovsrättslagstiftningen påverkas till stor del av både EU-medlemskapet och internationella konventioner. I september 2020 införde lagstiftaren brottet grovt upp-hovsrättsbrott med en högre straffskala. Samtidigt förändrades åtalsprövningsreglerna till att åklagaren endast ska väcka åtal om det är motiverat från allmän synpunkt. Copyright is an area of law that is constantly changing. Swedish copyright law is largely affected by both EU membership and international conventions. In September 2020, the legislature introduced the crime of gross copyright infringement with a higher penalty scale. At the same time, the prosecution rules were changed so that the prosecutor will only prosecute if it is justified from a general p
