Energy efficiency is becoming a more important part of our energy system. There is a need to investigate energy efficiency measures in the building and real estate sector, which accounts for a significant portion of the total energy consumption in Sweden. Therefore, this study investigates the energy-saving opportunities available to improve energy efficiency in this sector, with a focus on ventil
With increasing country-level gender equality, country-level gender differences in personality are found to increase. This is known as the Gender-Equality-Personality-Paradox (GEPP). Possibly, the GEPP is a methodological artefact. So far, the personality trait scoring method has not been investigated as a potential source of the GEPP. Three kinds of scores were investigated in the present study:
Recent generations of Japanese youth face a diminished and precarious labour market and are pushed to the anxious margins of the society. Many are feeling less secure about the future and this precarisation is disproportionately affecting women. The social and economic precariousness is being intensified by the Covid-19 pandemic and this change of circumstances affect women to a larger extent. The
This thesis explores how climate change concern is polarised in Sweden, with the aim to increase the understanding to detect social impediments to successful progress on the issue, as well as to prevent conflictual divides. The thesis examines the distribution of climate attitudes through three different forms of polarisation: distributive opinion polarisation, group-based (opinion) polarisation,

By utilizing the concept of empowerment and how education can serve as an empowering tool for women, this bachelor thesis aims to examine women’s empowerment through education in the village of Gerupuk in south Lombok, Indonesia. The thesis is based on empirical material consisting of interviews with women from Gerupuk and representatives from Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), United Nation (UN
Phenotypic variation is the raw material for evolutionary diversification and adaptation. However, a critical gap remains in evolutionary theory between developmental and statistical representations of phenotypic variation, limiting our ability to understand and predict evolutionary change. In this paper, we close this gap by establishing a formal bridge between developmental and statistical accou
Following the Bosman verdict from the ECJ in 1995, FIFA, the governing body of football, had to change its rules for the status and transfer of players to bring them in line with EC law. With the threat of an outright prohibition decision against the international transfer system under the EC Competition rules, FIFA reached an agreement with the Commission, in March 2001, on the principles for the
The small car manufacturer Saab has over the past 20 years been incorporated in the MNC GM. GM has until resent years been the biggest car company in the world. The crisis in the American economic system and worldwide, has changed the prerequisite for the complete industry. To avoid bankruptcy GM had to divorce Saab from the parent company. Looking at a pertinent buyer, the Swedish government was
Funktionella somatiska tillstånd (FSD) är vanliga och funktionsnedsättande tillstånd som ofta lämnar patienter fångade mellan otillräckliga medicinska förklaringar och begränsade psykologiska behandlingsalternativ. Internetbaserad emotional awareness and expression therapy (I-EAET) är en lovande intervention för FSD. Få studier har dock undersökt den subjektiva upplevelsen av att genomgå I-EAET – Functional somatic disorders (FSD) are common, debilitating conditions that often leave patients caught between insufficient medical explanations and limited psychological treatment options. Internet-based emotional awareness and expression therapy (I-EAET) is a promising intervention for FSD. However, few studies have examined the subjective experience of undergoing I-EAET—particularly among thos
This article revises the intellectual history of slavery in eighteenth-century Denmark. Against the view that there was little discussion of slavery in Denmark before the reception of British abolitionist ideas towards the end of the century, it shows that the teaching of natural law provided a consistent, significant, and overlooked forum for discussing the question of slavery. Engaging with a si
Private equity (PE) investment changes not only who owns firms but also how they are governed. In founder-led firms, this transition is particularly complex because authority, decision-making, and organizational identity are closely tied to the founder. Existing research explains private equity governance primarily through monitoring and value-creation mechanisms, but less is known about how the i
BACKGROUND: The degree to which avian migrants revisit the same sites to replicate routes from previous years has received more and more attention as the possibilities of tracking small to medium-size birds over multiple annual cycles have improved. Repeated measurements of individuals with an appropriate sampling resolution can potentially inform about their navigation and migration strategies an
Teams are dynamic systems that develop, adapt, and change as members interact and respond to their environments. Theory in organizational research emphasizes that team phenomena are multilevel, temporal, and often nonlinear. Yet, the statistical methods commonly used to study teams have lagged behind these theoretical advances, limiting empirical progress. This dissertation addresses this methodol
Study region: The Limpopo River Basin (LRB) is a transboundary catchment in Southern Africa, shared by South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. The basin is increasingly affected by climate variability, land-use change, and rapid population growth, with the Chókwe floodplain in Mozambique representing a hotspot of socio-economic vulnerability to floods. Study focus: This study applies the
The aim of Task 4.1 is to derive emission factors based on bottom-up land surface modelling, using two process-based dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs), LPJ-GUESS and ORCHIDEE. In recent years, emission factors have been proposed as a useful methodology for estimating greenhouse gas emissions under different land-management strategies. Whilst emission factors are straightforward to implement
