Människans nuvarande sätt att leva utgör ett stort hot mot mänsklighetens fortsatta existens på jorden. För att skydda de återstående ekosystemen spelar näringslivet en avgörande roll. Därmed kommer individers sätt att driva hållbarhetsutveckling inom företag att påverka hur stora klimatförändringarna blir. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan anställdas motivatThe current way of life poses a major threat to humanity's continued existence on earth. In order to protect the remaining ecosystems, business plays a crucial role. Thus, individuals' ways of driving sustainability development within companies will affect how large the climate change will be. The aim of this study is to investigate whether employees´ motivation correlates with their views

Denna studie utgår från två miljökampanjer som skapats med grund i Cacioppo & Pettys (1984) “Elaboration likelihood model”, som kortfattat menar på att vi kan processa ett meddelande på antingen ett s.k perifert- eller centralt plan. Utifrån detta har vi skapat två kampanjbilder med fokus på miljöproblem, där den ena innehåller perifera- och den andra centrala budskap. Dessa användes för att uThis study stems from two environmental campaigns which have been created with Cacioppo & Pettys (1984) “Elaboration likelihood model” as a foundation, which in summary says that we can process a message through a peripheral- or central mindset. Using this as a starting point, we created two campaigns that focus on environmental issues, one contains peripheral- and the other central cues. In o

Vindkraftverk är ett av samhällets främsta verktyg för en miljövänlig energiproduktion. Den konventionella designen av bladen är emellertid i stort sett oförändrad. Triblade är ny typ av design som har potentialen att revolutionera marknaden. Genom att använda en fackverksstruktur öppnar man för möjligheten att utforska andra materialval än de konventionella kol- och glasfibermaterial som anväIn the 21st century, wind power has emerged as a strong candidate in fulfilling societies goals of achieving carbon-free energy energy production. Windpower has evolved along with other technological developments, giving rise to larger turbines, but with the overall design trend remaining largely unchanged. Winfoor, a Swedish company based in Lund,aims to break that trend. With their new Triblade

The vehicle industry is making great strides in electric and hybrid technologies, representing a significant step towards reducing emissions from personal vehicles. In order to make the transition to new hybrid technologies as convincing as possible, well-functioning and smooth transitions between traditional combustion engines and electric motors are required. So-called mild hybrids enable a cos

Migration to wintering grounds is a process that a large proportion of songbirds perform every year. It has been suggested that there are differences in the migration performance between adults and juveniles due to the experience the former have over the latter, after having flown this journey before. The aim of this study was to analyse age differences regarding activity, energy deposits and depa

In this thesis I explore the conceptual relationships between Parody, the body and space in via the writer Gail Simone’s version of the comic book heroine Wonder Woman. I develop a critical re-imag(e)ination of performativity, space and the body in contemporary mass culture via Gail Simone’s Wonder Woman. As the title suggests the thesis also elaborate on sexuality understood as a phantasmatic scr

Inom EU:s konkurrensrätt kan man se utvecklingen av en mer begränsad domstolsprövning, samt ett mer ekonomiskt syn- och tillvägagångssätt. Vid studie av artikel 102 EUF-fördraget, är det vidare uppenbart att dominanta företag måste förlita sig på analys och bevis av ekonomisk art för att påvisa att missbruk av dominerande ställning inte är för handen. Något som emellertid rimmar dåligt med en situWithin the field of competition law one can outline two developments, namely that of a limited judicial review and secondly that of a ‘more economics-based’ approach. In studying Article 102 TFEU, it is evident that dominant companies must rely upon economic evidence and reasoning in order to show that an abuse of dominance has not taken place. This application of the article, however, works poorl

While urban areas are predicted to expand due to population growth, new approaches towards smart solutions in urban infrastructure and transportation are on the rise. With access to new technology, data has been given much attention from municipalities and decision makers. This thesis is interested in how the public sector will utilize the untapped potential of data collection, and what effects th

År 2025 har Sverige som mål att vara det bästa landet i världen på att utnyttja möjligheterna med digitalisering av vården. Ett sätt att digitalisera sjukvården är genom användningen av uppkopplade hälsoenheter och patient-insamlad hälsodata. Än så länge har forskningen fokuserat på användningsområden för kroniker, och där är man eniga i de stora fördelarna. Däremot är användningsområden och fördeBy the year of 2025, Sweden aims to be the best country in the world at using the opportunities offered by digitalization in healthcare. One way to digitalize healthcare is through the use of connected health devices and patient generated health data. So far, most research regarding patient generated health data in healthcare have been focusing on applications concerning chronically ill people, wh

Image registration of X-ray images is used to correctly align the patient before the cancer tumour is treated with sets of high dose X-ray radiation. Before the first treatment, a simulated X-ray image is taken showing the best possible localisation of the tumour. From then on, after each of the radiation treatments of the tumour, a low dose of the X-ray theurapeutic radiation is used to take an i

As the current energy system dependency on fossil fuels continues to perpetuate environmental harms, endangers economic stability and exaggerates international conflicts, there has been a growing momentum for a transition towards more sustainable forms of energies. When it comes to policies that aim towards a shift in energy systems, California has been recognized as one of the flagship regions in

The large-scale expansion of wind energy is an important element of the energy transition in Germany and a necessary tool to mitigate climate change. Yet, it is contested in many rural settings across the country. This thesis builds on the argument that rural areas are a crucial factor for the energy transition. They serve as the sites that host most of the infrastructure needed in the transition
