Nymölla är en liten kustnära tätort belägen i nordöstra Skåne. Kusten utanför Nymölla, en del av västra Hanöbukten, är uppsatsens geografiska fokusområde. Under 1960- och 1970-talen anlades både massa- och pappersindustri i Nymölla, två betydelsefulla industrier för Sverige, både gällande export och ekonomi. Ett exempel av Sveriges femtiotal massa- och pappersbruk är Nymölla Bruk, en produktionsan
This thesis investigates the practical and conceptual interplay between authoritarian and green ecological governance within China’s Ecological Civilization system, post- 2013. Through a qualitative analysis of official policy documents and semi-structured interviews, the study explores how China navigates the spectrum between the ‘Green State’ and ‘Authoritarian Environmentalism’. Findings sugges
Indolent lymphomas pose a challenge in diagnostics through fine needle aspirations due to their similarities to benign growths on a microscopic level. For a proper diagnosis, the patient has to endure a more invasive surgery for extraction of lymphatic tissue through which indolence can be determined. The hypothesis was that diagnostics of indolent lymphomas using only the less invasive fine needl
Despite a persistent reliance on conventional grey infrastructure solutions, there is increasing recognition of the vital role of nature-inclusive urban planning in managing climate risks such as floods and heatwaves while simultaneously promoting biodiversity, human health, and well-being. This multifunctionality underscores nature's intrinsic importance, reframing it as a fundamental necessi
Prominent female figures engaging in the societal debate, such as journalists and activists, tend to be targeted for online hate speech and threats disproportionally. At the same time, people in Sweden depend on an online presence to function as individuals. Feminist security studies have yet to incorporate the gendered online dimensions of hate speech and threats. This paper examines how the femi
The existence of a baryon number violating process is one of Shakarov's conditions to explain the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe. The Standard Model is nearly symmetric with respect to the baryon number, and hence we are motivated to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this thesis, we consider an effective field theory operator that couples the neutron to a proposed dark
This thesis critically assesses the integration of social sciences and interdisciplinarity within the international science-policy interfaces Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). I depart from a theoretical framework using the concepts of academic disciplines, interdisciplinary work and scient
Objective Image Quality Assessment (IQA) is crucial for evaluating and ensuring the fidelity of images. Traditional human-based evaluations, although reliable, are impractical due to their cost and slow pace, combined with subjective inconsistencies. This thesis aims to address these issues by developing a test and quality bench for Bertin Exensor's dual-head camera, integrating both infrared
Konceptet om Human Rights Cities (MR-städer) är ett relativt nytt tillägg i ramverket om mänskliga rättigheter och fokuserar på de lokala myndigheternas integrering av mänskliga rättigheter i sin oentliga förvaltning och verksamhetsstyrning. Studien avser därmed att undersöka hur ett globalt koncept tillämpas på lokal nivå i Lund, samt vilka nyckelfaktorer som är centrala i Lunds rättighetsbaserad
This paper investigates the relationship between measures of policy uncertainty, investor attention, and Bitcoin markets at a national level. To date, there are limited studies on the region-specific impact of policy uncertainty and investor attention on Bitcoin, despite evidence showing significant heterogeneities in the use, purpose, and acceptance of Bitcoin across different countries. These he
In response to regulatory directives mandating climate risk assessment and mitigation by financial institutions, this thesis examines the broader impact of climate change on this sector. The European Union's CRR3/CRD6 mandates the integration of climate risks into financial institutions' Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), guided by the European Banking Authority (EBA). T
The majority of the coastal area of Scania is highly susceptible to sediment transportation. Due to various influences which are both human induced and natural, the morphology of coastal dunes often alters. Therefore, it is important to assess these changes, especially after major cyclonic storms such as the storm Babet in order to get a comprehensive understanding of the aftermath. The purpose of
The CFA Franc Zone in Northern Africa is a currency union where the currency has been pegged to the French Franc since 1945. After the formation of the European Monetary Union in 1999, the peg is now against the larger currency Euro and no longer against one single currency, the French Franc. Has the new peg to the Euro had a positive effect on the CFA countries’ trade flow with the Eurozone compa
This paper quantitatively studies how firm inequality (society-wide firm concentration) in Northern Sweden was impacted by a 2002 deduction to the employment tax. The paper constructs Gini and Theil’s T indices as measurements of firm inequality for 29 Swedish municipalities for the years 1998-2007, where the net sales and number of employees are used as two measurements of firm size.

Ska vi bevara eller riva befintlig bebyggelse som inte längre används? I denna kurs har uppgiften varit att transformera en befintlig byggnad till något nytt, att hitta en ny funktion i ett befintligt skal. Transformation som begrepp och förhållningssätt är relativt nytt, då det historiskt varit vanligare att i många fall riva och sanera äldre bebyggelse som inte längre "behövs". Bevaran
Tillverkning av högteknologiska produkter, såsom litium-jon-batterier och mikroelektronik, sker i så kallade DRY ROOMS. Dessa rum är speciellt utformade för att upprätthålla en mycket låg relativ luftfuktighet. I ett DRY ROOM kan daggpunkten för tilluftluften vara så låg som -40 ℃ eller ännu lägre. Detta är en energikrävande process där hela lokalens luft måste bytas ut för att bibehålla den önska
This master’s thesis is part of the project SolarFood, aimed at reducing post-harvest losses through improved solar drying techniques. The project focuses on developing locally adapted solar dryers, with short drying times while considering socio-economic factors for technology adoption and diffusion. This paper investigates adoption barriers and potential drivers for the diffusion of solar dryer
The marine sector contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a reduction is required in the sector’s environmental impact to meet present climate change targets. This thesis conducts a well-to-wake life-cycle assessment of potential decarbonization solutions for the marine industry, aiming to identify the most promising alternative fuels and evaluate the impact of inclu
The optical technique, Gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy (GASMAS) shows promise in application to address current challenges in lung monitoring during intensive care, improving respiratory care by allowing for continuous, non-invasive monitoring. While the technique is already developed in neonatal infant care, the patient profile can be expanded by using higher powered laser systems
