In the northwest of Skåne, a peninsula stretches out and tapers off out into the ocean. This is Kullahalvön, a stronghold of contrasts that swings between the dramatic and romantic. Its edge rises from the sea like armor: shaped by weather and protective of all the landscape that rests behind it. Forests, meadows,fields and beaches overlap between the old fishing villages that have grown into town
Interactions play a crucial role in determining how galaxies evolve in terms of their morphologies and star formation histories, since the majority of the known galaxies in the nearby Universe are found to exist in groups. Compact groups of galaxies are of particular interest as they contain a small number of galaxies in dense configurations and host repeated interactions between them, enabling us
This study aimed to examine how immigrant mothers experience parenting and raising children in a new cultural context in Sweden. Furthermore, the purpose of this study was to inquire about immigrant mothers' views regarding societal support. The study was based on a qualitative method using semi-structured interviews with seven immigrant mothers from various countries in the Middle East with e
Adoption of people analytics (PA) tools in human resources (HR) remains limited, despite increasing efforts to democratize data across organizations. This thesis examined how three change management facilitators, namely leadership support, training programs, and “What’s In It For Me” campaigns, relate to HR professionals’ use of PA dashboards. Using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a frame
De straffrättsliga och de socialrättsliga regleringarna löper ofta parallellt i sin ambition att upprätthålla barnets grundläggande rättigheter till en trygg och säker uppväxt. I mötet mellan dess företrädare, i min text representerad av polis och socialtjänst, uppkommer inte sällan svårigheter när dessa regleringar ska tillämpas i en gemensam kontext. Projektet med Barnahus har hittills inte kunnCriminal and socialsecurity regulations are often parallel in their ambition in maintaining the child's basic rights to a safe and secure childhood . In the encounter between representatives for these two legal areas, in my essay exemplified by the police and social services, difficulties often arise when regulations shall be applied in an everyday context . Evaluations of the ”Barnahus”- proj
The term Anthropocene denotes a new geological epoch characterized by the unprecedented impact of human activities on the Earth’s ecosystems. While the natural sciences have advanced their understanding of the drivers and processes of global change considerably over the last two decades, the social sciences lag behind in addressing the fundamental challenge of governance and politics in the Anthro

Innovation is generally viewed as something inherently good, a source of progress and prosperity in our society. But innovation can also have negative, unintended, and wasteful effects, if policies are misdirected and organizations pursue innovation to look good and convey a message, rather than to actually achieve improvements of technologies, services, and products. This book makes the case that
Although active transport contributes to environmental and human health, only limited research has been conducted on what makes people participate in active transport in tourism-related contexts. To fill this gap, research was conducted on theoretically conceptualized relationships between pro-social behavior on active transport, air quality, climate change mitigation, and health with a moderator
Background: Results of previous studies regarding pelvic sepsis after Hartmann’s procedure (HP) for rectal cancer have been inconsistent and few studies report the risk factors. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of pelvic sepsis after HP, identify risk factors and describe when as well as how pelvic sepsis was diagnosed and treated. Methods: Data were collected from the Swedish Colorec
Wood is a remarkable material with great cultural, economic, and biogeochemical importance. However, our understanding of its formation is poor. Key properties that have not been explained include the anatomy of growth rings (with consistent transitions from low-density earlywood to high density latewood), strong temperature-dependence of latewood density (used for historical temperature reconstru
Laundry as a household activity has been subject to (un)sustainable consumption studies. The majority of those studies are rooted in mainstream approaches to (un)sustainable consumption focusing on either changing individuals (e.g., their decisions, behaviors, habits) or system (e.g., infrastructure, technology). Moreover, the laundry has been predominantly studied as a washing activity. This rese
Female researchers remain visibly under-represented among deep-tech founders in Germany. Although women are present in Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and early academic research, the founder gap is larger than the pipeline alone would predict, signalling leakage at later, commercialisation-oriented stages of the academic career. This study examines how female re
Peatlands store substantial amounts of carbon. When drainage of these areas occurs in order to use for practices such as forestry, greenhouse gases (GHG) will be emitted which will enhance climate change. The aim of this study was to explore whether rewetting of drained forest covered peatlands can reduce its impact on climate and which conflicts with forestry this can lead to. As a case study, th
In order to fight climate change and meet the Paris Agreement to keep the global temperature rise below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels, there is an urgent need to change the dominant way of producing and consuming energy worldwide. However, governing an energy transition is a complex and challenging task, as different actors and interests clash on different levels. In this study, I have a closer
Att anställda trivs på sin arbetsplats är viktigt och bidrar till ett effektivare arbete. Det är därmed av stort intresse att ha kunskap om vad som predicerar arbetstillfredsställelse hos de anställda. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka i vilken grad organisatoriskt engagemang och medarbetarens relationen till sin närmaste ledare (LMX) kunde predicera arbetstillfredsställelse, samt om organEmployees' satisfaction at their workplace is crucial and contributes to more efficient work. Therefore, it is of great interest to understand what predicts employee job satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether organizational commitment and the relationship with one's immediate leader (LMX) could predict job satisfaction, and whether organizational commitment coul
This research delves into the burgeoning field of incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria into investment strategies, spurred by a growing interest in sustainability and the demonstrated influence of ESG-related events on stock prices. Sanctify Financial Technologies is at the forefront of quantifying firms’ ESG performance, which plays a pivotal role in this study. Vari
A granny job with soft issues, feelings and stuff - A qualitative study of men in a female-dominated profession The purpose of this study was to examine how professional social workers and students in social work education relates to and understands the idea that social work is considered feminine. Another aspect considered in this study is how the widespread predominance of women in social work

Half of the participants had an ongoing contact with the Child and Ado
Sweden’s grocery distribution is routed through a limited number of upstream hubs and relies on corridors and ferry links. When disruptions affect a hub or a critical link, reallocations propagate fast and travel times increase, with some areas losing coverage temporarily. Decentralising the whole system is costly, so targeted resilience options must be evaluated. The purpose of this thesis is to
