In today's urban and regional planning, climate change has become a challenging issue, as it has significant effects on sustainability. For Swedish cities, the global temperature has increased by an average of 1,5 degrees celsius since the period between 1961 and 1990. Due to this, climate adaptation is an important asset to limit the negative effects of more intense weather resulting from cli
This thesis investigates how monetary policy measures affect asset prices in Sweden over the period 2001-2024. The aim is to analyze the relationship between monetary policy and the price development of three major asset classes – detached houses, tenant-owned apartments and equities – and to examine whether the effects vary between expansionary and contractionary policy regimes.

As multistakeholder institutions become increasingly central to global governance, questions of how these hybrid organizations establish and maintain legitimacy have gained growing academic attention. This thesis conducts a systematic comparative analysis of the self-legitimation practices of two prominent multistakeholder initiatives: Fairtrade International and the Internet Corporation for Assig
A just transition to a sustainable transport system requires the inclusion of all groups. Without a social justice perspective, solutions risk reinforcing existing inequalities. With a focus on mobility hubs, a place where different transportation modes are integrated, this study aims to examine how gender and socio-economic status are addressed in the planning of a sustainable transport system. A
I en tid när klimatförändringar äger rum behövs forskning för att minimera konsekvenserna av dem. Människans påverkan på miljön är idag av forskare och experter ett vedertaget fenomen. Eftergymnasiala studenter idag utgör en stor del av framtida generationer vilka kommer att påverkas av klimatförändringarna. Denna studien ämnade undersöka huruvida attityder gentemot klimatförändring, klimatoro, ånIn a time where climate change is present, research is needed to minimize its consequences. Today, human impact on the environment is an accepted phenomenon amongst scientists and experts alike. Future generations will consist, in large part, of post-secondary students who in the future will be affected by climate change. This study aimed to explore whether attitudes towards climate change, climat
Trots att samhället idag rör sig mot ökad jämställdhet kvarstår stora ekonomiska olikheter mellan män och kvinnor. Att spara och investera har en central roll för privatpersoners ekonomiska stabilitet och inom finansiella marknader har tidigare studier visat att män och kvinnor agerar annorlunda. För att förstå hur dessa olikheter ser ut och hur investeringsbeteende skiljer sig mellan män och kvin
Work, as stated in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, is a human right. In this thesis we unearth the discursive foundations of the right to work and explore the right through a queer, feminist and Marxist dialogue analysis based on the books The problem with work by Kathi Weeks (2011), Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici (2009), and What’s the Use? by Sara Ah
The national construction and civil engineering industry contributes significantly to Sweden’s total carbon dioxide emissions. Meeting the United Nations’ global sustainability goals will require intelligible, measurable and structural changes within the industry. Notably, modern bridge designs often demand greater material use than those built half a century ago, albeit the structural types are f
Syfte. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur förtjockningsmedel upplevs av friska individer, med fokus på uppfattningar som kan indikera psykosocial påverkan utöver de fysiologiska effekterna. Genom detta belystes potentiella konsekvenser som förtjockningsmedel orsakar hälsorelaterad livskvalitet. Metod. 75 deltagare från fyra olika studieprogram på Medicinska Fakulteten vid Lunds universitet r
In recent years, dating apps have become a dominant way for young people to initiate romantic connections. However, these platforms are embedded in broader societal transformations marked by emotional detachment, commodification, and accelerated life rhythms. This thesis explores how such dynamics shape romantic relationships for young heterosexual women in Copenhagen. Specifically, it investigate

Bakgrund: Dysfagi kan leda till allvarliga komplikationer såsom aspirationspneumoni och malnutrition som kan medföra högre mortalitet. Det är vanligt att logopeder rekommenderar förtjockningsmedel för att minska aspirationsrisken, men evidensen gällande att förtjockad dryck förebygger aspirationspneumoni är begränsad. Flera studier har visat att följsamheten till åtgärden är låg. Åtgärden kan dess
Achieving pure protein with high enzymatic activity for research and practical teaching purposes is essential. In this study the protein BoGal36A was purified using cells or lysate obtained from three different expression methods. The expression was performed using bioreactor, shaking flasks and a prepared lysate of cells grown in shaking flasks at Lund protein Production Platform (LP3; (kindly pr
Endotherms are restricted in their activity by the amount of heat they can lose, as hyperthermia can be lethal. As we are expecting increasing ambient temperatures on earth it is crucial to investigate how different species are affected by heat. 28 male captive-bred zebra finches were forced to exercise in a hop-flutter wheel in different ambient temperatures (10, 20, 30 and 35 °C). Body temperatu
Signal integration and cues weighting during orientation in insects is an open scientific question. This study focuses on understanding how dung beetles weigh sun cues of different light intensities. Alongside this, my study also tries to investigate potential behavioral effects of AprilTags application, which has great potential in future studies in this field, on beetles’ orientation. The South
