The impact of the sourcing department has gotten more and more attention in the past couple of decades. This has resulted in numerous frameworks and scorecards to guide companies through different sourcing decisions. This interest in sourcing has grown side by side with the increased globalisation and outsourcing. Therefore, relevant measurable criteria have moved from a supplier-oriented level, t

Det har nog inte undgått någon att det är bråttom att minska på utsläppen av växthusgaser samt nyttjandet av jordens naturresurser. För att detta ska bli möjligt behöver vi ta vara på de resurser som redan finns i så stor utsträckning som möjligt, innan vi väljer att kassera dem. Restauranger är en verksamhet där det uppstår stora mängder avfall och där det kan vara svårt att veta hur man ska gå tIn the next 30 years the world’s population is expected to increase by two billion people, resulting in a growing demand for natural resources and rising greenhouse gas emissions. In order to face these challenges, society needs to improve resource efficiency while producing less waste. In Sweden there is a large amount of waste originating from the restaurant industry. Previous studies have exami

This thesis aims to contribute to e-governance studies by combining a framework of critical juncture studies and path dependency theory to evaluate the performance of the e-governance sector in Mexico in the wake of the SARS-COVID-2 crisis. Through the investigation of e-governance policies during the COVID-19 pandemic, this thesis identified key thematic principles for analysis: 1) Access to Inte

In the modern society the use of cyber technology is essential in many aspects. Both civilian infrastructure and crucial systems rely on cyber technology and its many uses. This new era in which cyberspace activities are a crucial part of society raises the question about how well preserved civilian cyber systems are in case of war, more specifically cyberwar. This study analyses how well NATO cyb

Gender constitutes an important determinant of mental health. Previous research has pointed out the need to investigate and operationalize the concept of gender beyond two distinct categories to account for the social and relational aspects of gender that may influence mental health outcomes. In this thesis I investigate the influence of gender-related norms on mental health outcomes among wome

Thailand is facing with various extreme climate events from flood to drought. As a result of climate change, these events tend to increase in frequency and intensity. The existing water infrastructures and management is showing sign of fragility and incapable of dealing with these challenges. To increase adaptive capacity and tackle current water resource challenges, water management agencies in T

Our food is produced further and further away from us. Consequently, we have lost our connection and respect for it, resulting in unnecessary food waste. Investigating alternative methods of growing vegetables created the ambition to encourage the end consumer to self-sufficient crop production at home. Initial trend research led to the rising interest in urban farming. The world becomes

This thesis examines the discourses produced by the International Organization for Migration in relation to the phenomenon of ‘climate migration’ in order to identify the main problematization and subsequent implications. Using Carol Bacchi’s approach entitled “What’s the problem represented to be?” and conducting a qualitative policy analysis of 13 documents written by the IOM between 2007-2022,

Italy is using drones to monitor migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea. This is partially done through a contract with Leonardo S.p.A – one of the largest arms traders in the world – under which the company undertakes to operate drones in the area on behalf of the state. Meanwhile, Italy has withdrawn its naval assets and is hindering non-governmental organisations from carrying out search-and-r

As the interest in greenwashing as a strategy for marketing increases, monitoring institutions in Sweden have not failed to acknowledge the tendency of unwarranted and exaggerated statements that has left the impression of products or services without any legitimate support. Even as institutions have voiced their active engagement in tackling this problem, critique has been raised arguing that gre

The goal of this thesis was to, from several randomly selected patients with diagnosed malignant and benign tumors, record optimal lambdas and respective Renyi entropies for each lambda, run a basic statistical analysis of the results and see if there is any significant difference between lambdas/Renyi entropies of malignant and benign lesions.\\ The results showed no significant difference.\\ The

As new security threats arise within the borders Europe, with new methods of modern warfare that challenge previous notions of what constitutes regular warfare, one must adapt. The contemporary landscape of information technology has made it easier for antagonistic actors, such as Russia to employ information as a subversive tool to achieve political goals. Sweden has recently established an agenc

The energy crisis in Europe has recently highlighted vulnerabilities that experts have recognised for a long time. The EU relies heavily on fossil fuel imports from Russia to supply its citizens with affordable energy. Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, desperation to unbundle itself from Russian energy has rapidly stirred massive complexity and increased energy prices. Steps taken now

Digital nomadism has been around for more than two decades. Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a shift from traditional office work to remote work, which made the digital nomad lifestyle more accessible for a larger group of individuals. Digital nomads represent a great opportunity for destinations as they help boost the local economy. Therefore, it is important for destinations t

This paper investigates what the barriers and enablers are for persons with disabilities and organisations of persons with disabilities to engage in climate action. The countries analysed are Bangladesh and Madagascar as two countries in the Global South who are similarly impacted by climate change. Persons with disabilities are one of the most marginalised groups in any society and one of the mos

This thesis investigates how urban experimentation is governed in the new development district in Sege park in Malmö. Together with with private developers and a local NGO the municipality test and experiment with solutions for how the sharing economy can contribute to reduce the future resident’s climate impact and living costs. By using the theoretical lens of governmentality this thesis focusse

Syftet med studien är att skapa en djupare och nyanserad förståelse över hur lyxiga varumärken med hållbarhetsprofil arbetar för att främja “slow fashion” och hållbar konsumtion i butik och “online”. Det teoretiska ramverket utgår från teorier om “slow fashion”, kommunikation, atmosfär och certifieringar/skyltar. “Slow fashion” har valts ut då det blivit allt mer trendigt att producera en tidlös s

Cellen är den fundamentala byggstenen för allt liv vi idag känner till. Inuti celler kompartmentaliseras viktiga funktioner till organeller, vilket är cellernas motsvarighet till organ. Klassiska organeller kan kontrollera sin biokemiska miljö med hjälp av ett membran som avgränsar organellens inre från cytoplasman. Under de senaste åren har forskare dock funnit att membran inte är universell för Biomolecular condensates are aggregates formed from liquid-liquid phase separation through the interactions between nucleic acids and multivalent proteins. These condensates are essential for many biochemical processes inside the cell. Therefore, there has been a large effort during the last decade to create models and methods to describe these systems. Mixtures of RNA and proteins are very common

Om en part har tillräckligt starka misstankar om att motparten inte kommer att fullfölja sina avtalsförpliktelser och begå ett avtalsbrott vill den drabbade parten naturligtvis skydda sig från att drabbas av brottet. Den drabbade parten kan skydda sig mot ett s.k. befarat avtalsbrott genom att utöva stoppningsrätten eller hävningsrätten. Stoppningsrätten regleras i 61 § KöpL och innebär att den drIf a party suspects the other party will not fulfill a substantial part of his obligations according to the contract this would mean that they are breaching the terms of their contract. This means that the affected party can protect itself against a breach of contract, “anticipatory breach”, under contractual law by exercising the rights of suspension or cancellation (stoppningsrätten or hävningsr

Supramolekulär kemi är ett fält inom kemi där samlingar av molekyler som hålls ihop av olika ickebindande interaktioner mellan molekylerna studeras. Dessa bindingar kan ses som två legobitar som sätts ihop, där legobitarna är molekylerna och det ickebindinade interaktionerna är passformen som håller dem på plats. Legobitarna kan tas isär med mindre kraft än vad det krävs för att dela en bit lego. Hydrogen bonding based self-assembly is prevalent throughout nature dictating the folding of proteins and DNA. Hydrogen bonding has been utilized for self-assembly of small monomers into aggregates of varying size and shape. Potential applications of these aggregates could be creation of ion channels, formation of inclusion complex for delivery of drugs or capture of hazardous material in water su
