In 2015 Sweden received a substantial amount of refugees from the Middle East compared to other European countries, which caused debate concerning Sweden's refugee politics. Some political parties wanted to focus on helping in the nearby area instead of the refugees coming to Sweden. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 refugees fled to Sweden again. The discussions throughout the society at th

The main drivers of the alarming biodiversity decline are land use and land use change, primarily due to agriculture. It is therefore important to assess the impact on biodiversity caused by production of food and to do so, life cycle assessment (LCA) is a method widely used. Since the UNEP-SETAC provisionally recommended the method by Chaudhary et al. (2015, updated 2018) for impact assessments o

Detta arbete handlar om transformation. Med utgångspunkt i de kulturhistoriskt värdefulla Lokstallarna i Malmö fick jag i uppdrag att varsamt anpassa och förän- dra denna plats till något jag ansåg skulle öka områdets värde och ge något positivt till Malmö stad i helhet. Något jag personligen alltid älskat med Malmö är hur staden värnar om och uppmuntrar kreativitet och skapelse. Utöver detta har

Ireland has experienced a rise in populism and social issues in recent years. By analysing the linkages between voting behaviour and social exclusion, critical underlying features of this shift may be identified. In this thesis, I investigate whether social exclusion has increased over time and whether this increase is associated with more support for Sinn Féin. I carry out this analysis using 10

I dagens samhälle präglas vår samtid av nyheter om krigsdrabbade områden och naturkatastrofer, vilket är två orsaker till att migrationen runt om i världen ökar. Människor förlorar sina hem och vissa är på ständig flykt. Detta är ett fruktansvärt öde som också bidrar till spridningen av sjukdomar som tidigare varit begränsade till vissa kontinenter. Chagas sjukdom, även känd som amerikansk trypaChagas disease, also known as American Trypanosomiasis, is a parasitic infection caused by the triatomine bugs, commonly referred to as kissing bugs. It is the deadliest parasitic disease in South America but has spread beyond this region due to migration and climate change. Approximately 70 million people are at risk of infection, and there is no cure for the chronic phase of the disease. In prev

A great amount of financial statements of Swedish companies are registered with the Swedish companies registration office, Bolagsverket, as paper copies. These copies are then scanned and made available to the public as image-PDFs, meaning the financial information contained in them is not digitised and therefore not easily processed in an automated manner. Being able to do so, is valuable however

The purpose of this master thesis in practical theology is to investigate the reasons for choices of hymns made by parents baptising their children in the Church of Sweden. From earlier data on baptisms and hymns we do know which hymns are most commonly chosen, but no one to date has interviewed parents on their choices. The method used is semi structured interviews of eleven parents whose childre

Bakom våra varma element och eluttagens pålitliga strömförsörjning står svenska kraftvärmeverk för 47 % av värmeproduktionen och 9 % av elproduktionen. När dessa verk stannar eller behöver underhåll, förblir vi trygga tack vare företagens ansvar att leverera stabil el och värme. Denna rapport utforskar hur elmarknaderna kan användas för att hantera produktionsutmaningar. Studier visar att genom atIn 2021, combined heat and power plants accounted for 9 % of the electricity production in Sweden. However, Swedish combined heat and power plants plan their production based on the demands of the district heating network. In instances of unforeseen disruptions affecting production, priority is given to meeting heating demand. Consequently, electricity generation and the management of imbalances t

Historians have often noted the existence of frictions in early labour markets. Swedish servants, for example, experienced large mobility restrictions and coercion, preventing them from switching employers. Despite this, wage studies have often relied on assumptions of perfect competition, ignoring these findings. This study uses more than 3,000 observations of servant wages for Southern Sweden, c

Elite athletes in entrepreneurship is an emergent field of research with scholars showing advantageous entrepreneurial traits in the athletes and a good job-fit between athletes and entrepreneurship. However, current literature presents a fragmented view, often examining characteristics in isolation, and failing to show the process of how elite athletes become entrepreneurs. Hence, this study seek
