Social and ecological sustainability are recognized pillars of sustainable development. However, it is not always clear how they are supposed to be achieved jointly. This unclarity can lead to major tradeoffs between social and ecological sustainability which ultimately endangers our prospects for sustainable development. In Malmö, Sweden, the tension of social and ecological sustainability can be
This paper estimates the impact of the processes of the Eurasian integration in the post-Soviet space that led to the creation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) in 2015 over the exports of the member countries and their main partners outside the EEU and its predecessor, the Customs Union (CU). Applying the gravity model technique over the dataset for 1995-2015 obtained from UNESCAP Trade Analyt
Det senaste decenniet tenderar antalet barn som har en oroande skolfrånvaro öka enligt flera Svenska organisationer och myndigheter och bland dessa barn finns en stor andel med NPF-problematik. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka konsekvenserna för föräldrar med barn som diagnostiserats med autismspektrumtillstånd (AST) som också har eller haft en problematisk skolfrånvaro under det senaste
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is an important air pollutant with both environmental and epidemiological effects. The main aim of this thesis is to explore spatial patterns and temporal trends of tropospheric NO2 concentrations globally using data from the OMI instrument aboard NASA’s Aura spacecraft. Additional aims are to validate the satellite data by comparing it to ground-based measurements, and to f
Uppsatsen behandlar hur medverkan till utredningen av egen brottslighet i 29 kap. 5 § första stycket 5 brottsbalken tillämpas i mordfall. För att strafflindring ska medges i det enskilda fallet krävs att den tilltalades medverkan varit av väsentlig betydelse för utredningen. Ett övergripande syfte är således att slå fast vad som krävs för att medverkan ska anses uppfylla detta krav på väsentlig be
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) opens up the possibility to collect opinions from people in channels that have not be conceivable before, such as youtube videos, podcasts or phone calls. SER is becoming more advanced, and the SER models that have been published recently are reaching accuracy-results well beyond state of the arts. However, SER is not a simple task and it is most common that the mo
This thesis explores arguments and styles of argumentation in favour of Scotland gaining independence and rejoining the European Union in the aftermath of the United Kingdom leaving the EU in 2020. Since a majority of Scots did not support Brexit, it has provided Scottish independence supporters with a unique opportunity to bolster their arguments in the political debate. The thesis is built on a
The EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), a crisis response of 673 billion euro to the Covid-19 pandemic, made it possible to reward reforms in Member States for the first time. This thesis investigates whether the RRF can promote structural reforms, in line with the Eu-ropean Semester's Country Specific Recommendations (CSRs), using a principal-agent framework to theorise the RRF’s
Monitoring insect populations and diversity are important to assess ecosystem health. Traditional trapping and manual identification methods are slow and labor-intensive. Entomological lidar offers an automated alternative for monitoring insects in flight, but classifying species remains a challenge. Building empirical databases through catch-and-release methods is impractical due to the enormous
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate what factors, if any, are most prevalent in the valuation of small cap stocks, with limited ownership as compared to their fundamental values, where crowd based trading and insights do not necessarily prevail. Methodology: A deductive and comparative study realized in quantitative research based upon a sample selection of smaller companies. Find
Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan kohesion (sammanhållning) och effektivitet i arbetsgrupper, vilket mättes i enkätundersökning med en svensk översättning av Group Environment Questionnaire - Work Team Version och Team Effectiveness Scale. Studien ville undersöka i vilken grad upplevd kohesion korrelerar med upplevd effektivitet inom arbetsgrupper på en polisstation medThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cohesion and efficiency in work teams, as measured by a Swedish translation of the Group Environment Questionnaire - Work Team Version and Team Effectiveness Scale. The study examined in which extent perceived cohesion correlates with perceived efficiency within workgroups at a police station with policemen working on the field.
Det blir allt vanligare att företag producerar separata CSR- och hållbarhetsrapporter. Men tidigare studier av denna kommunikationskanal har lagt fokus på innehållet och inte på hur rapporterna påverkar bilden av företagets hållbarhet. Syftet med denna studie är därför att studera hur en organisation kommunicerar i sin hållbarhetsrapport för att framställa sig själv som ett hållbart företag och föIt is becoming increasingly common for companies to produce separate CSR and sustainability reports. Previous studies of this communication channel has focused on the content and not on how the reports affect the perception of the company's sustainability. The purpose of this study is to examine how an organization communicates in its sustainability report in order to depiction itself as a sus
The adoption of e-commerce has caused a shift in the way that businesses interact with their consumers. Business to consumer (B2C) e-commerce websites allow users the convenience of making purchases without having to physically go to the retailer’s location. E-commerce practices involve the collection and use of user data for various purposes, from registration and transacting to providing suggest
The Nigerian economy grew at an average rate of 7% between 20002011. However, recent drop in oil prices has led to calls for economic diversification away from oil. Using the services-led growth theoretical framework, this thesis provides an overview of the Nigerian service-sector. Through an analysis of descriptive statistics, the thesis showed that services have been contributing significantly t
Market and policy pressures increasingly demand a shift towards sustainable means of production; thereby, the inconclusive and long-standing debate between the impact of environmental efforts and economic performance at the firm level has never been so relevant. However, companies who seek to prioritize sustainability on their processes and outputs still need to focus on their financial returns.
Syfte: Syftet är att identifiera likheter och skillnader för ekonomistyrningssystem mellan olika kulturella regioner. För att uppfylla syftet utformades två delmål: (1) Förklara identifierade skillnader och likheter med kultur som utgångspunkt, (2) Identifiera olika ideer om framtida forskning. Metod: En litteraturstudie genomfördes där sekundärdata från tidigare forskning användes.

Purpose: Brand public is a new theory developed as a brand communication on social media. The aim of this thesis is to reveal the value creation of brand public in contrast to the values created by brand community Methodology: We apply a postmodern perspective and our study is constructionistic, therefore we have selected the qualitative approach called netnography. Theoretical Perspectives: We dr
Multi-spectral imaging is a powerful approach in spectral analysis of objects with spatial details. However, such approaches are most often time consuming and experimentally complex since both spectral and spatial information in two dimensions are to be resolved. Presented here is an alternative approach to thee-dimensional spectroscopy, utilizing the Compressive Sensing methodology to treat a dig
