I Sverige försvinner varje år ett stort antal skogslevande arter, vilket är ett allvarligt hot mot vår biologiska mångfald. Trots att skogen ofta uppfattas som en artfylld och hållbar miljö, är verkligheten en annan. Det intensiva skogsbruket har lett till en dramatisk minskning av många arters livsmiljöer. Så vad gör skogsindustrin åt saken? Denna studie lägger fokuset på skogsin- dustrins egna oThe Swedish forest is subject to significant pressure from the forestry industry. As a consequence, biodiversity is negatively affected. Sustainability reporting serves as a means for consumers and stakeholders to gain insight into companies' sustainability ef- forts. Reporting on biodiversity is relatively new compared to climate reporting and poses greater challenges in terms of quantificati

This paper compares and analyzes the government support mechanisms between China and the European Union in the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry. Research has found that China adopts a government led industrial policy, promoting rapid industrial development through fiscal subsidies, tax incentives, and administrative guidance; The EU, on the other hand, takes law as its core and supports the green

Abstract Title: How can ASSA ABLOY develop its M&A analysis with regard to supply chain synergies? Authors: Axel Johnsson and Erik Hellberg Supervisor: Andreas Norrman Examiner: Louise Bildsten Background: Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are majorly conducted with the ambition and endeavour of realizing synergies, thereby enabling the merged corporation to generate greater value compared Supply chain synergy analysis – A framework for operational M&A BY AXEL JOHNSSON & ERIK HELLBERG (May 2025) Potential synergistic effects are crucial to the decision of whether M&A transactions should be completed or not, and could be the difference between a failed and successful deal. This is why the study has produced a framework for comprehensive and accurate supply chain synergy

In recent years, forest fires have become more frequent and severe worldwide. Sweden experienced an extreme fire season in 2018, resulting in extensive burnt areas and challenges in fire suppression. With climate change such extreme fire seasons are likely to become more common, highlighting the urgent need for effective fire risk assessment tools. This study aimed to develop a simplified forest f

Public toilets are recognized by the United Nations as a basic human right, but the Swedish government is currently not fulfilling their duty to ensure right-holders’ equal and universal access to public toilets. Responsibility has then, by default, fallen to local authorities. In the case of Lund, this is the municipality. Adequate sanitation has been identified by some as a vital criteria for wh

This thesis explores how companies should manage their digital customer journey in a business-to-business context. In prior research, academic gaps related to diverse customers and internal capabilities’ influence on the digital customer journey have been identified. Thus, this thesis aims to explore how a case company should manage their digital customer journey and what internal capabilities, re

Konsumtion. Det är en nödvändighet för människors överlevnad. Samtidigt har dagens konsumtions effekter på klimatet som just försvårar framtida förutsättningar för överlevnad – för människor såväl som för andra arter. Detta till följd av bland annat de växthusgaser som släpps ut från produktionen – och förbränningen – av de produkter vi människor konsumerar. Av den genomsnittliga svenskens konsumtThe public sector is responsible for 28 percent of the average Swedish citizen’s consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe). Looking at purchasing categories with the highest GHGe, consumables – products like paper and single use items – play a significant role. The first step in becoming more circular and reducing waste is often to completely refrain from purchases when possible. However,

Centrala lägen av städerna vilka tidigare nyttjats för industri har genom ett förändrande samhälle och ekonomi kommit att lämnats orörda och i förfall. Detta medför att det idag finns attraktiva fastigheter med potentiella föroreningar i mark och byggnader vilka samhället nu önskar utnyttja för andra ändamål såsom bostäder, kontor och handel. Exploatering av dessa områden innebär stora kostnader oAttractive locations in cities, previously used for industry, have been left untouched and in disrepair due to changes in society and the economy. This situation has resulted in central properties with potentially contaminated land and buildings that society now wishes to redevelop for housing, offices and commerce. Developing these areas involves significant costs and uncertainties for potential

This thesis investigates ecocide as a form of environmental violence by state and non-state actors, reframing ecological destruction as a political and antagonistic act rather than an accidental byproduct of development. This research emphasises the active participation of state institutions in facilitating and perpetuating large-scale environmental harm while deterring efforts to legally frame ec

Målet med det här examensarbetet har varit att undersöka hur avlossningen av gummipackningar från metallplattor sker genom nedsänkning i flytande kväve. Arbetet utfördes hos Alfa Laval, ett företag som tillverkar packningsförsedda plattvärmeväxlare (GPHEs). Dessa består av metallplattor med en limmad gummipackning fäst på dem. Avlossningen av packningen är ett avgörande steg i rekonditioneringsproThe purpose of this thesis work was to investigate the debonding of rubber gaskets from metal plates through immersion in liquid nitrogen. The work was con- ducted at Alfa Laval, a company which produces Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers (GPHEs), which consist of metal plates with adhesively bonded rubber gaskets. Gasket debonding is a key step in the reconditioning of GPHE plates, and un- derstandin

The objective of this study is to map and analyze the different uses and distinctions between the two verbal forms synthetic future (cantaré) and periphrastic future (voy a cantar). The study examines whether there has been a shift in the frequency of general use between the two forms over the past 20 years, as well as maps out the different contexts and levels of formality in which each form appe

Sedan upptäckten av penicillin har mänskligheten lyckats kringgå bakteriella infektioner som tidigare varit dödliga. Men i takt med att användningen av antibiotika ökat, har bakterierna lärt sig att kringgå det. Dessa så kallade resistenta bakterier utgör ett stort hot mot människan, eftersom de i nuläget är svåra att stoppa – med följden att vissa bakteriella infektioner kanske återigen kommer klWith antimicrobial resistance emerging, this project is part of a larger effort to design novel antibacterial substances combating bacterial infections. On the road towards this, sialic acids have become of large interest. Having a vital role within cell signalling, adhesion and recognition in the human body, these 9-carbon α-keto sugars have opened a door for bacterial survival. By the help of si

This research explores the emerging concept of care infrastructure in the urban periphery of Mexico City, specifically in Iztapalapa, through the lens of urban social sustainability. Based on over 35 semistructured interviews and participant observation, the study analyzes how access to services such as public laundries, take-away food services, and communal spaces contributes to the well-being of

This thesis examines how legal frameworks and socio-cultural norms interact to shape the protection of children’s rights in domestic violence cases in Sweden and India. The study compares legislative schemes, policy documents, court decisions, and institutional reports using a socio-legal approach grounded in legal pluralism, legal culture, and the distinction between law in books and law in actio

This thesis explores how Lund University students perceive and respond to behavioural nudges in the Mecenat discount app. Using a mixed-methods approach it examines the influence of persuasive design features linked to present bias and loss aversion. While few students reported acting impulsively, many believed the app encourages such behaviour, revealing a perception gap between stated control an

SafeGrowth is a method in urban planning to prevent crime and promote social cohesion. The method was officially introduced in Toronto, Canada in 2001. Toronto and their application of SafeGrowth sparked global interest and in 2020, Drottninghög in Helsingborg, Sweden, decided to apply the method. They became the first city in Europe to apply SafeGrowth. This study explores the application of Safe

This thesis examines how innovations in electric aircraft and eVTOL vehicles can contribute to sustainable air travel and transform future transport systems. The research focuses on identifying the most promising technologies and how they could be applied in practice. The study is based on a systematic review of academic literature, case studies and expert interviews from both academia and the avi

This thesis aims to look at the dispute resolution mechanisms in the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) and how these contribute to the legal certainty of European Union law and the prevention of fragmentation of EU harmonisation. Brexit presented unprecedented challenges to the European Union’s (EU) legal order and brought significant questions to the upholding of legal certainty and har

Partikelfysikens Standardmodell är den bästa teoretiska beskrivningen vi har av de allra minsta byggstenarna som utgör vårt Universum och hur de interagerar med varandra. För att utöka vår förståelse och verifiera våra teoretiska modeller behöver vi utföra experiment. Dessa experiment består av att kollidera partiklar med varandra i nästan ljusets hastighet, vilket görs i partikelacceleratorer somThe chirality-flow formalism has proven to simplify the calculations of helicity amplitudes to the extent that the matrix element corresponding to a Feynman diagram can immediately be written down. It has also shown to speed up the computation of scattering amplitudes through numerical implementations in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. In this thesis we investigate if automated computation of amplitudes can be
