The ongoing climate change calls for an immediate decarbonization of society, where one important measure is a rapid transition of the energy system through an expansion of variable renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar photovoltaic power production. This transition imposes new challenges to the electrical power system, not least from a power balance perspective. This master’s thesis r

Recent reports state that the gap between native an

Byggindustrin är idag en stor källa till CO2-utsläpp. För att minska bygg- och anläggningssektorns klimatpåverkan, som idag genererar 21 procent av Sveriges utsläpp av växthusgaser, krävs en omställning mot en mer cirkulär ekonomi. Innerväggar utgör en betydande del av den färdiga byggnadens klimatavtryck. Materialval och typ av innerväggssystem kan påverka och reducera detta. Kontorsbyggnader är The construction industry today is a major source of CO2-emissions. In order to reduce the climate emissions of the building and construction sector, which today is 21 percent of Sweden's climate emissions, a transition towards a more circular economy is required. Interior walls make up a significant part of the finished building's climate impact. Material selection and type of interior wa

An instrumental variable approach and a sharp regre

The developed tie-gradient representing the tie-strength-continuum along which multiple relationship-clusters can be allotted through comparison, provides a more nuanced view on tie strength. During idea generation, weak(er) ties are predominantly consulted, which does not preclude the inclusion of other tie strengths. During idea evaluation, we discovered a tie-cascade indicating that within a pr

Following the introduction of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by the European Commission, the complexity of sustainability reporting increased significantly concerning a vast number of companies. The lack of consideration in the literature on the implications it will have on the business strategy can create negative perceptions of the directive’s integration process for the

This study examines the long-run impact of air pollution exposure at the month of birth and during pregnancy on labour outcomes in Germany. I match air pollution levels on a federal-state level to a longitudinal survey sample on individuals born in Germany. The study focuses on individuals born between 1985 to 1992, as this time period relates to consistent economic growth in Germany. The main ide

The transition towards renewable energy and electrification is expected to accelerate in the coming decades. This change is being studied by several actors, in Sweden most notably by Svenska kraft- nät, the Swedish TSO. They have recently constructed four different scenarios, two of which explore a future with a doubling of electricity consumption from year 2022 to year 2045. These two scenarios h

When it comes to predicting biological outcomes, be they single adaptations, or whole ecosystem shifts, we have still to build many bridges in our understanding of how each level of life is connected. Though exceedingly complex, analysing communities is vital in comprehending how single species, or ecosystems, may fare in this changing world. This study aims to answer questions about plant-pollina

Härma historien och rör om i sanden! En mångfald av arter och livsmiljöer skapar förutsättningar för mer än vi kanske tänker på i det dagliga livet. Grödor anpassade till olika klimat och jordmån, naturlig bekämpning av skadedjur genom rovlevande skalbaggar och andra insekter samt baljväxter och svampar som hjälper växternas näringsupptag på traven ger förutsättningar för en effektivare och långsThe conservation value of sandy habitats for a flora and fauna adapted to open, light, dry, warm, and often nutrient-poor conditions, is well recognized. Today this environment is threatened by lack of disturbance, fragmentation and exploitation, acidification and increased levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. Traditional management such as mowing and grazing have proven unsuitable for restoring pop
