We are facing a continuous increase in humanitarian crises. All humanitarian emergencies affect People in Need differently. The wish for a more inclusive picture of the affected people suitable for humanitarian response is becoming more significant. The concept of intersectionality, in the sense of Crenshaw, promises to add precisely this perspective to humanitarian response. With the help of meth
This master’s thesis explores the sustainability and the circularity of industrial packaging of components for complex electronic products. The research aims to gain insight into the structure of the packaging system between the suppliers and the manufacturers (EMS) and evaluate its circularity to identify the opportunities and challenges for future improvement. The study examines the packaging

Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa bland unga är ett folkhälsoproblem med konsekvenser som kan följa individen under hela livsloppet. Vanliga följder av psykisk ohälsa bland unga är aktivitets- och delaktighetsinskränkning. Inom skolan finns förebyggande insatser, vilka främst består av psykoedukation, för att främja psykisk hälsa. Forskning är dock oklar kring om dessa insatser även har ett arbetsteraBackground: Mental illness among young people is a public health problem with consequences that can follow the individual throughout their life. Common consequences of mental illness among young people are activity- and participation restrictions. Within schools there are preventive efforts, which mainly consist of psychoeducation, to promote mental health. However, research is unclear whether
In the last twenty-five years, the influence of climate change over the lives of the world’s citizens has become a central topic of discussion within multilateral organisations such as the United Nations. The topic of policy and decision- making capacity, as well as representation of developing nations such as Small Island Developing States (SIDS) is also constant. This research is conducted as a
This research aims to investigate the motivational aspects of gamification elements on the in-ter-organizational knowledge-sharing platform, Stack Overflow. The study addresses the gaps in existing research by providing an in-depth analysis of gamification elements' effects and exploring top contributors' motivation to share knowledge. It follows a qualitative approach, conducting semi-str
De allmänna va-ledningarna tillhandahålls av landets kommuner, som har ansvaret att förse fastighetsägarna med vatten och avlopp inom verksamhetsområden. Det ingår även ett ansvar att skydda ledningarna och den information som finns tillgänglig. Kommunerna kan välja att organisera arbetet i kommunalägda bolag, bilda kommunalförbund eller driva verksamheten i egen regi. Den som har hand om kommu
Car parking is increasingly perceived as problematic for urban landscapes; parking occupies large amounts of space and is an important motivator for car use. Private housing developers are an increasingly important player in contemporary urban development. Their responsibility for the provision of parking at new developments means that these actors will have a considerable impact on urban transpor
The building sector contributes to one-fifth of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and consumes 40 % of the final energy consumption. To achieve the climate goals set by the Swedish government, the building sector requires rapid development to reduce its climate impact. The climate impact of buildings comes from two types of energy throughout the building's lifecycle: operational an
Användningen av Artificiell Intelligens har ökat de senaste åren och många arbetsgivare väljer att integrera AI i rekryteringsprocessen i syfte att vara kostnads- och tidseffektiva. Men användningen av AI medför betydande nackdelar såsom oavsiktlig diskriminering. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka den rättsliga reglering inom diskrimineringsrätten när AI används i rekryteringsprocesser. Vidare kThe use of Artificial Intelligence has increased in recent years and many employers choose to integrate AI into the recruitment process in order to be cost and time efficient. But the use of AI brings significant disadvantages such as unintentional discrimination. The essay aims to investigate the legal regulation within discrimination law when AI is used within recruitment processes. Furthermore,
Background: Purchasing and Supplier Relationship Management are becoming increasingly important as companies’ competitiveness increases. One part of this is Supplier Performance Evaluation (SPE), which is part of the final step in the purchasing process and can be performed in many different ways. SPE can ensure that suppliers are performing as expected and when not, actions can be taken. When mea
Sand and dust storms (SDS) represent a significant and widespread obstacle to sustainable development, affecting its economic, social, and environmental dimensions. SDS pose severe challenges to achieving several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the eradication of poverty, the achievement of zero hunger, the improvement of health and well-being, the provision of clean water and sani
Serious Games have gained increased attention in sustainability education. I developed a Serious Game that aims to increase sustainability competencies related to water problems among university students. I applied socio-constructivist learning theory to investigate how sustainability competency can be operationalised in learning outcomes and how these can be translated into game elements. Methodo
Computer vision is on the cusp of revolutionizing several different markets through its applications. One such market is that of fitness and exercise. Advagym, Sony's connected gym solution is currently employing IoT solutions to track exercises in a gym environment. Together with Sony's R\&D Center Lund Laboratory's computer vision- and machine learning-equipped tracking system -
This thesis investigates if dependence on natural resources causes a delayed demographic transition. The Plurinational State of Bolivia is taken as an example as it is a country with a high share of Mining \& Oil activities in its economy. The method of investigation is a time series analysis covering the period 1900--2010. The results suggest that Bolivia's resource-depleting activities d
This thesis studied methods of improving a background model for a data processing pipeline of LiDAR point clouds. For this, two main approaches were evaluated. The first was to implement and compare three different models for detecting ground in a point cloud. These were based on more classical modeling approaches. The second was to use Deep Learning for semantic segmentation of point clouds and t
The EU-US Privacy Shield Decision on data transfers between the EU and the US was found invalid by the CJEU Schrems II ruling on 16 July 2020. After Schrems II, discussions among scholars and practitioners on legal challenges of international data transfers resulting from the case has gained much tension during the past years. Given the significant amount of data that flows between organizations a
Utförande av denna Masteruppsats är en del av projektet Ecodiver och i samarbete med vattenavdelningen på Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Syftet med studien är att granska den öppna källkods mjukvaran QSWAT+ som är ett plugin-program i QGIS. Detta för att i kommande tid kunna utveckla ett evidensbaserat verktyg för optimering av våtmarker. Undersökningsområdets omfattning är begränsad till Kävlingeåns avThis Master´s thesis is a part of the Ecodiver project, conducted by the Water department at LTH. The purpose of this study is to review the open-source software QSWAT+ as a plugin in QGIS, to be able to develop an evidence-based tool for optimization of wetlands. The scope of the study area is limited to the catchment area of Kävlinge river; however, no account is taken of the validation of data,
Fabriksrevision används som ett verktyg för att kontrollera att leverantörer och underleverantörer uppfyller kraven i kontraktsvillkor och det är ett steg i uppföljningsprocessen. I decennier har det rapporterats om arbetsrättsliga- och människorättsliga kränkningar i globala leveranskedjor där fabriksrevision används som en mekanism för att säkerställa goda arbetsvillkor. Dock kritiseras fabriksr
