By assessing previous observational and quantitative findings on food products'

As part of the EU’s initiative to become the world’s first climate neutral region, Northern Sweden is represented as a centrepiece to the green transition development. Its innovative industries are framed as a key component for a sustainable future – not only for Sweden, but also for Europe as a whole. Yet, previous research describes Norrland as an inner periphery of Sweden that has been subject

Autenticitet ses av vissa forskare som en central del av välbefinnande. Mot bakgrund av detta ville vi fördjupa förståelsen för upplevelsen av autenticitet hos svenska gymnasieungdomar. Inom ramen för projektet “Välbefinnande och självkänsla på gymnasiet” på Lunds universitet genomförde vi semistrukturerade djupintervjuer med sju ungdomar i årskurs tre på gymnasiet om deras erfarenheter av att må Authenticity is viewed by some researchers as a central aspect of well-being. Considering this, we aimed to deepen the understanding of the experience of authenticity among Swedish high-school youths. As part of the research project ”Well-being and self-esteem in high school” at Lund university, we conducted seven semi-structured in-depth interviews with third year high school students about their

Bakgrund: Övergången från barn till vuxen är en kritisk period i livet där många förändringar sker under kort tid, vilket kan resultera i en förändrad aktivitetsbalans och aktivitetsmönster då unga vuxnas vanor, roller och rutiner förändras. Komplexiteten i transitionen kan leda till psykiska besvär eller psykiatriska tillstånd. Behovet är därför stort av att erbjuda unga vuxna med nämnda problemaBackground: The transition from child to adult is a critical period in life where many changes occur in a short period of time. The lifestyle changes could potentially result in an altered activity balance and activity patterns. The transition can lead to potential psychological disorders or psychiatric conditions. There is therefore a great need to offer young adults health promoting and preventi

The aim of this study was to understand the link between the theoretical knowledge gained during the previous four semesters and its practical application; this is due to the different ways in which we used the knowledge and the experience that came with it. But how can social work students effectively draw on different sources of knowledge during their internship, including experiences from previ

The purpose of this study was to investigate social work students at Lund University's attitudes toward social services in Sweden and analyze the potential connection between the student's previous experience with social services and their attitudes using the Tripartite model of perspectives presented by Rosenberg and Hovland (1960). This study is based on a quantitative approach using an

I tider av instabilitet och snabba förändringar krävs det av organisationer att snabbt kunna ställa om till nya förutsättningar för att kunna säkra sin överlevnad. Kreativitet har föreslagits vara en viktig komponent för att kunna göra detta möjligt. För att kreativitet ska kunna blomstra på arbetsplatser krävs det att vissa förutsättningar är uppfyllda. I denna studie var syftet att ta reda på omIn times of uncertainty and rapid changes it is crucial for organizations to be able to adjust to new circumstances in order to secure their survival. Creativity has been suggested as an important component in making this possible. In order for creativity to flourish in the workplace certain conditions need to be met. In this study the aim was to find out whether group personality, aggregated indi

This master's thesis seeks to address the problems associated with the utilisation of sustainable Information Communication Technologies (ICT) by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), due to various barriers such as cost, limited resources, and lack of awareness. The research question seeks to examine the internal factors and characteristics of SMEs that influence their utilisation of ICT

In Skåne, Southern region of Sweden, where the idea that no Sámis live in the area is largely spread across the Swedish population, the few Sámis living there find themselves navigating their ethnic identity, between performativity, agency, and making use of the policies implemented at a national level. In a context of ongoing decolonisation of the Sámis and their lands, official institutions such

The number of supply chain disruptions has increased over the last couple of years. The Covid-19 Pandemic, blockage of the Suez Canal and Russian invasion of Ukraine are some well-known examples of disruptions. Academia seems to have noticed the increasing disruptions and has explored proactive Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) as an approach to address this. Consulting firms also suggest compan

Denna rapport är resultatet av ett examensarbete för institutionen Trafik och samhälle på Lunds tekniska högskola. Syftet med rapporten är att skapa förståelse för hur det ser ut när det kommer till cykling utanför tätort, även kallat landsbygdsmiljö, och vad som behövs för att fler ska välja cykel som färdmedel även utanför tätort. Tätorter och småorter har sedan många år tillbaka varit utformaThis Thesis is a result of a study on cycling on rural area. The purpose of this thesis is to find what possibilities and obstacles there are to get a higher percentage of people using bicycle as a choice of transportation when living in a rural area. Historically, the cities have been built for the car. Today and the past decade this has changed, and the bicycle has been given a higher priority

Förtätning är en strategi som används i storstäderna för att hantera den snabba urbaniseringstakten, bostadsbristen och den ökande befolkningstillväxten. I Stockholm och Göteborg har småhusområden förtätats genom avstyckning av tomter eller genom att flerbostadshus får ersätta enbostadshus. Den pågående förtätningen av småhusområden har de senaste åren blivit uppmärksammat både medialt och politisInfill development has become a common occurrence in Sweden’s bigger cities. The densification of residential areas has been a strategy for managing the accelerating urbanization rate. In Stockholm and Gothenburg, neighbourhoods consisting of single- family houses have been a subject of densification through the subdivision of property units and the replacement of single-family dwellings with apar

Under 2015 ökade antalet asylansökande personer i Sverige till följd av kriget i Syrien. Av de människor som sökte asyl 2015 var drygt 35 000 ensamkommande barn, en grupp som tenderar att vara särskilt sårbar eftersom de saknar vårdnadshavare. Av de barn som anlände var flickor en klar minoritet. Efter 2015 har vi sett hur allt mer restriktiva lagar tagit form i den svenska lagstiftningen som gjor

Växelvis boende med en ungefärlig jämn uppdelning är vanligast förekommande i Skandinavien och har således mestadels studerats i denna kontext. Få studier har dock inriktat sig på yngre barn eller kvalitativt undersökt det växelvisa föräldra- och medföräldraskapet. Som en komponent i förståelsen av barnets tidiga anknytnings- och socioemotionella utvecklingsmiljö, fokuserar vi här på hur föräldrarEqually shared joint physical custody (JPC), is most common in Scandinavia and has thus mostly been investigated within this context. There is, however, limited research concerning younger children and parents’ own perspectives on parenting and coparenting in JPC. As a component of the understanding of the child's early attachment and socioemotional developmental environment, we focus here on

Citizen dialogue is something that within planning is advocate now today. It helps planners to gain valuable information about place and space but it also strengthens democracy. The literature often presents perspectives based on what is important to think of within planning, e. g. social justice and inclusion, but little about planner’s actual workload and capabilities. The purpose of this thesis

The pangolin is the most trafficked mammal on earth and is believed to be on the brink of extinction. However, in many affected countries including Namibia, research and conservation efforts do not match their endangered status. Despite strict wildlife legislations, the level of illegal wildlife trade remains high, especially impacting Namibia’s rural communities. Thus, the aim of this thesis is t

Over the past decades, investment preferences towards portfolio construction have changed from focusing solely on profit maximization, into a combination of good financial perfor- mance as well as a responsible sustainability outcome. The purpose of this paper is three- fold: first, to investigate whether a sustainable portfolio based on a high environmental, social and governance (ESG) score cont

Due to the civil war in Syria, around 6 million people were displaced to neighboring countries and more than half of them live in Turkiye in a protracted refugee situation. Considering lack of return options to Syria and low resettlement quotas in third countries, their only viable option is local integration in the host countries. Designed as a case study, this thesis examines how the government
