As global supply chains become increasingly vulnerable due to geopolitical instability, rising protectionism, and sustainability pressures, the trend of reshoring has emerged as a strategic response among multinational enterprises (MNEs). This thesis explores the drivers behind the reshoring decisions of seven Swedish MNEs and examines the entry modes (EMs) through which these firms implement thei

This thesis investigates how European Union accession influenced economic performance in post-communist Eastern European countries. It highlights the mechanisms behind this impact, focusing on trust as a key component of social capital and on institutional quality. The paper estimates the effect of accession using fixed effects regressions, difference-in-differences, and an event-study model, on p

This thesis explores the classification of savannah trees using EnMAP hyperspectral and Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite data using a Random Forest classifier. The study aimed to assess if the increase in spectral information from the hyperspectral data gives an increase in classification performance, to find the advantages and limitations to hyperspectral data compared to multispectral data and

Textile waste presents significant harm to the environment, prompting the development of advanced textile recycling technologies. One such process recycles cellulosic fibers using zinc chloride (ZnCl2) at certain hydration levels to dissolve the cellulose, which is later precipitated by the addition of water and can be re-spun into new fibers. However, this process uses large amounts of zinc chl

The widespread adoption of drones has presented new requirements for reliable localization and tracking systems. For this reason acoustic sensing has become an area of growing interest for a passive and cost-effective solution. However, process- ing large amounts of microphone data in real time presents significant hardware challenges. This thesis studies two different types of signal channelizati

Tidewater glaciers on Svalbard are sensitive indicators of climate change and play a crucial role for Arctic ecosystems. The widespread retreat of tidewater glaciers across Svalbard highlights the need to quantify retreat rates and project when these glaciers will become land-terminating. This study investigates tidewater glacier retreat during historical (1936–1990) and present (2012–2024) period
