The Jute-ICARE initiative by the Government of India aims to address climate change's impact and improve jute farmers' livelihoods. This study investigates the challenges and opportunities for jute farmers in adopting the scheme's technologies using the DPSIR framework and the social learning theory. Inadequate information dissemination to farmers and differing perspectives between pol
The purpose is to investigate retail investors’ growing influence in shaping corporate investment policies. It further seeks to understand whether firms cater to retail investor sentiment. We employ a multiple linear regression model of a strongly-balanced panel data set, incorporating fixed effects and clustered standard errors. We construct a Financial and Economic Attitudes Revealed by Search (
In the recent decade, a rapid increase in all-sky spectroscopic surveys has occurred, and with it, the wealth of observational data and information on our Galaxy. Consequently, numerous detections of new structures, such as new open clusters, accreted and in-situ components, are discovered. However, the accuracy and results of industrialised pipelines to derive stellar parameters and abundances ha
Sammanfattning Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur konsumenter identifierar budgetprodukter och hur detta uttrycks genom förpackningens design. Genom att studera vilka attribut som påverkar konsumentens uppfattning och inställning till budgetprodukter kan vi få en större förståelse för hur en förpackningsdesign kan ge ökad konkurrenskraft. Frågeställning: Vilka förpackningsattribut
In the small Danish nature park of Jægersborg Dyrehave, there live over two thousand deer. During their lives, they become encounters for visitors, managers of nature, targets to be culled, meat to be eaten, and more. In this thesis, I explore what it means to be deer in Dyrehaven. By applying a posthumanist iteration of performativity, I argue that we need to consider ‘deering’ as a verb, an intr
There is a need to identify leverage points for a broader cultural transformation that addresses the root causes of the nature-climate emergency. Music and art festivals are creative free spaces outside the everyday workings of society that have the potential to plant the seeds of a holistic, sustainable future. I combine prefiguration and the three spheres of transformation in a framework to inve
This thesis studies the awareness of the Swedish financial sector on biodiversity and nature-related information by analyzing the external communication reports of firms listed on the NasdaqOMX stock exchange in Stockholm. The reports are analyzed with the help of a checklist and a Python script. The checklist covers key topics, including the importance of biodiversity in sustainable development,
Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are exotic stellar objects that appear to be younger than the age of the population they come from suggests. They are observed as the extension of the main sequence stars, beyond the turn-off point. They are present in all types of stellar populations, such as open clusters, globular clusters, dwarf galaxies, and even in the open field. It is believed that they form mai
Detta examensarbete ämnar att undersöka integration av tre olika teknologier till en havsbaserad vindkraftspark, om det är ekonomiskt gynnsamt samt hur kraftfluktuationerna till elnätet påverkas. Genom att kombinera olika förnybara kraftsystem kan man minska variabiliteten och kostnaderna kopplade till installation och drift av systemen. Även fast investeringar i annan förnybar energi utöver vindkThe high penetration of wind power is increasing the intermittency and power variability into the existing power grid. This is forcing industries to look for optimal configurations in order to improve their systems performance and minimize these effects from the power production method. Studies show that there are different ways of reducing the power variability and therefore stabilize the energy
Detta examensarbete utfördes i samarbete med Patientnämnden Skåne, som är en av Region Skånes fristående förvaltningar. Patientnämnden ansvarar bland annat för hantering av patienters klagomål om hälso- och sjukvård som tillhör Region Skåne. Att sammanfatta klagomål är en av uppgifterna inom hanteringen av klagomål. Patientnämnden står inför två utmaningar med denna uppgift. För det första är uppgThis thesis was conducted in collaboration with the Patients’ Advisory Committee, which is one of the independent administrations of Region Skåne. Patients’ Advisory Committee is responsible, among other things, for handling patient complaints regarding healthcare services belonging to Region Skåne. Summarizing complaints is one of the tasks within the complaint handling process. The Patients’ Adv
Checkpoint inhibition is an attractive option for treating bladder cancer, the tenth most common type of cancer in the world. With currently approved drugs restricted to targeting the PD1/PD-L1 axis with limited response rates, finding alternative targets for manipulation of immune cells could improve the survival of bladder cancer patients. Recently, cell markers selectively expressed by immunosu
Öresundspåren över Öresund utsätts för en allt högre utmaning i takt med att tågtrafiken på spåren ökar. Då befolkningen i Malmö och Köpenhamn ökar, ökar även antal resor och efterfrågan på resmöjligheter. Enligt en rapport från Öresundssmetro hemsida från 2019 har antalet pendlare mellan Malmö och Köpenhamn ökat kraftigt sedan Öresundsbron invigdes 2000. Mellan 2000 och 2018 ökade antalet pendlarThe Øresund tracks across the Øresund are facing an increasingly higher challenge as train traffic on the tracks continues to grow. As the population in Malmö and Copenhagen increases, the number of trips and demand for travel opportunities also grows. According to a report from the Øresund Metro website from 2019, the number of commuters between Malmö and Copenhagen has increased significantly si
This study investigates Swedish critical entities (CEs) ability to maintain function during up to three months of electricity supply disruptions. It also examines possible improvement measures, and how contextual cases (grey zone, heightened state of alert, war) influence CEs’ ability to maintain function during electricity supply disruptions. Expert elicitation was conducted with experts from eig

Vi människor påverkar miljön som vi lever i på en rad olika sätt. Tyvärr finns många exempel på mänskliga ”aktiviteter” som kan leda till negativa effekter på vår miljö. Den mest välkända orsaken till miljöförstöring är utsläpp av koldioxid till atmosfären som leder till en förhöjd medeltemperatur på vårt jordklot. Något som inte alls är lika självklart men som också kan påverka vår miljö negativPollutant emissions to the environment caused by human activity is a worldwide problem. This can occur due to residential fires which are often connected to loss of human lifes and belongings, as well as environmental damage. Residential fires canlead to emissions of pollutants that can be released to the air, water and soil. In this study, the level of soil contamination caused by residential fi
En analys av den samhälleligakunskapscirkulationen om prostituerade kvinnor i Sverige 1885-1900 genom att undersöka kunskapsarenor ämnade åt allmänheten - tidningsartiklar, skönlitterära verk samt ett medicinskt verk. Synen på prostituerade kvinnor samt hur dessa värderas och beskrivs undersöks.
Actinobacillus succinogenes is a microorganism is a very efficient producer of succinic acid, a chemical with a wide range of industrial applications. The bacterium is prone to form biofilm, a flocculation of cells attached to a surface. In this study, the bioproduction of succinic acid using Actinobacillus succinigenes 130Z was performed in microplate, bottle, and bioreactor systems to gain new i
This product was specifically designed for the astronauts at the ISS (International Space Station) who live in isolated and confined environments with no access to nature. As mission time increases, it becomes crucial to enable astronauts to "feel" nature again. The system consists of a fan+LED product (Micro-air) and a sensor. The fan is used to simulate natural wind, and the LEDs are
