Green hydrogen is an advantageous clean energy carrier that enables the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors and addresses the intermittency of renewables. However, its global production is currently constrained by inadequate infrastructure, high investment risks, and relatively technological infancy. Failure to scale green hydrogen could hinder decarbonization efforts and climate goals. Recog

Nationalparker utgör ett centralt element i naturvård runt hela jorden. Utöver naturvård så utgör tron på deras positiva effekt för regionalekonomisk utveckling en allt vanligare motivering för att grunda nya nationalparker. Forskningsläget kring omfattningen av sådana effekter är dock oklart och den ekonomiska effekten av nationalparker i Syd-, Väst, och Mellansverige har inte analyserats i någonNational parks are key parts of worldwide conservation initiatives. Increasingly, they are being founded not only to meet conservation goals but also because of their potential positive impact on regional economies. However, the results of previous research are ambiguous when it comes to assessing the magnitude of this effect and no such studies have been conducted for national parks in southern,

Syftet med studien går ut på att undersöka och analysera vilka karaktäristiska egenskaper och färdigheter som en projektledare bör besitta eller utveckla för att lyckas i sin roll. Vidare kommer studien att undersöka projektledarens ledarskapsstil för att få en uppfattning om hur det påverkar ett projekts framgång. Genom att identifiera dessa egenskaper och färdigheter kan arbetet bidra till att ö

The survival and persistence of the threatened Marsh Fritillary butterfly (E. aurinia) is linked to the availability of its host plant, the Devil’s Bit (S. pratensis), which primarily inhibits calcareous grasslands. Previous research has established that mapping the distribution of S. pratensis serves as a reliable indicator for identifying the presence of E. aurinina larvae nests. In this study,

In workplaces, a lot of knowledge is lost when colleagues change positions. What was once obvious to one person can be incomprehensible to the next. This problem has been encountered by Probation Labs Sweden AB with their biochemical instrument, Labbot. Labbot facilitates researchers in automating their protein analysis. It works like a multi-tool where users can perform one or several tasks in a

The objective of this study is to examine the effect of financial literacy on household wealth accumulation among Swedish households. Prior research have suggested that financial literacy plays a significant role in financial decision making. Using household data from The Financial Supervisory Authority (FI) of Sweden and instrumental variable approach, the study aims to isolate the effect of fina

The concrete sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions; consumes substantial amounts of natural resources and serves as a significant source of global waste. The Circular Economy approach has been put forward as the solution to these environmental issues, but the overall effectiveness of the approach has been called into question by existing research. The aim of this thesis

During recent decades there has been a rapid growth of volunteer tourism whose nature and impact are increasingly questioned in both literature and media. This study aims to critically compare the intended positive impacts with the potential negative consequences of volunteer tourism. The objective is to gain insight into possible contradictions and harm of the practice. Furthermore, by applying a

På en arbetsmarknad där det blir svårare och svårare för företag att rekrytera rätt kandidater har organisationskulturen blivit en konkurrenskraftig faktor för att attrahera rätt typ av personer. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vad en sådan organisationskultur kan bestå i: Hur beskriver anställda en god företagskultur och hur upprätthålls den? Forskningen på området förklarar ofta organi

Minoriteter har i alla tider blivit utsatta för att vara annorlunda majoriteten. Samer är ett sådant exempel. Den här studien utforskar hur denna olikhet har kommit att presenteras i svenska video- och filmklipp från 1930- och 1940-tal. Det som står i fokus är hur samerna (minoriteten) har föreställts av svenskar (majoriteten). Detta görs med hjälp av ett antal analytiska begrepp. Rasism, rasifier

On the 24th of February 2022, Russia initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. About a quarter of a year later, Sweden decided to abandon its long standing foreign policy doctrine of being militarily non-aligned in favor of joining NATO. Given the sequencing of these events, the common perception is that the 2022 invasion was the sole reason behind this significant decision. Taking a long-term

This study has been made to further our understanding of which types of horses were sacrificed in Röekillorna, Skedemosse and Stanstorp. But also, to get an idea on how the horses skeletal parts were handled and through that information try to understand the true importance of sacrificing a horse during the iron age, with a main focus on Röekillorna. By studying the osteological material from Röek

This bachelor thesis focusses on the relationship between elected officials and bureaucrats in three different local municipalities in Sweden. All three of the chosen municipalities have big national parties that holds most of the political power in their respective local parliament. The study is conducted through a survey solely directed to the bureaucrats in each of the three local municipalitie

When the civil war in Lebanon was ended by the signing of the Taif Agreement in 1989, the consociational democracy was reintroduced to mitigate inter-sectarian tension. Although there has been more than 30 years since the war ended, Lebanon is still a deeply divided society, and the current peace is characterized by reoccurring eruptions of violence and inter-sectarian tension. While the sectarian

The research aims to investigate and identify private digital primary healthcare usage patterns, introduced in Sweden in early 2016. The research has been limited to LUSEM bachelor students and its financial implications for the region of Skåne. The research takes a quantitative approach by using an online survey. Further, the study aims to provide insights into the region’s finances and incentivi

The Circular Economy (CE) has gained global recognition as a way to enable sustainability improvements in production and consumption systems. Numerous circularity indicators (c-indicators) have been developed by academia and practitioners to be used at the company level as analytical tools to measure progress towards a more circular economy. Nevertheless, there is a lack of empirical evidence on t

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to gain an understanding of how Swedish millennials perceive the image of luxury textile brands that have always relied on animal leather and now are introducing plant-based vegan leather textiles. Methodology/Empirical data: The study is based on the foundation of social constructionism philosophy. A qualitative research design is followed in the present stud

The production of ethanol from second-generation feedstock like lignocellulose is limited by efficient growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on xylose. One of the reasons for that might be a lower ATP formation vs. proton formation flux in cells using the xylose reductase (XR)/xylose dehydrogenase (XDH) pathway compared to glucose as ideal substrate. The therefore reduced availability of ATP, as ATP

The market for Wi-Fi receiver designs for latest Wi-Fi standards, that cover RF bands in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz spectrum, require increasingly stringent power consumption limitations as more of the market is driven towards battery-powered devices. In order to meet those needs, it is crucial to explore different ways of reducing power consumption in various receiver blocks. One such power con

The research aims to determine whether there is a trend of reshoring among major fashion conglomerates and whether supply chain resilience and sustainable manufacturing may contribute to understanding this trend. The study takes a quantitative approach, using a combination of inference statistics and descriptive statistics. To uncover patterns in the manufacturing locations of these conglomerates,
