As a growing problem in the world, negative emotions caused by awareness of environmental and climate changes are seen as one of the biggest mental health crises of our generation. This study examines young women's relationship to eco-emotions through a thematic analysis to improve understanding of how this group can be affected by these emotions and how they can live with them. Women and youn
This thesis examines the evolution of markups among the largest publicly listed firms in Sweden, represented by the OMXS30 index, during the period surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic from 2018 to 2024. The study assesses whether changes in firms’ pricing power contributed to Sweden’s inflationary and subsequent disinflationary dynamics. Using a microeconomic production function approach developed b
Land use has a major influence on the nutrient balance in a region. Land use changes such as the restoration of peatlands can therefore have an impact on it. In this analysis, nutrient exports in the Baltic Sea basin and in some regions of the North Sea basin were estimated under different future scenarios including scenarios that promote land use changes such as peatland restoration through CO2 p
Hybridization may generate novel trait values and combinations, enabling hybrid lineages to exploit new niches. While phenotypic differences among hybrids and parents are well characterized, it is less well understood if behaviors are likely to be intermediate, mosaic, or transgressive, outside the parental ranges of values. To address how behavioral traits evolve in hybrid lineages, we use the ho
This study unravels discursive formulations of lobbying and transparency in the aftermath of Qatargate to better understand the relationship between lobbyists, corruption scandals, and transparency frameworks in the European Union. Using Foucault’s interpretive analytics operationalized by CDA and semi-structured interviews with Public Affairs practitioners and MEPs in Brussels, this inquiry argue
Rosé wine popularity is mostly due to its pink colour which results from grape pigments. Varying from a pale salmon to a deeper pink colour, its stability and intensity are not as good as the those of red wines, it’s therefore crucial to improve them. Yeasts, responsible for alcoholic fermentation, have been shown to influence wine colour, in particular when nonSaccharomyces (NS) yeasts are inocul
In the last ten years labor economists have become increasingly interested in convex earnings structures in the labor market and their impact on the gender pay gap, an approach spearheaded by Claudia Goldin in her 2014 Presidential Address to the American Economic Association. The study has seen widespread acclaim, but very little replication. This study replicates parts of Claudia Goldin’s work,
In 2022, the Government of Lithuania approved the new Crisis Management and Civil Safety law to establish the National Crisis Management Centre (NCMC). This thesis was written during the initial phase of the NCMC creation process. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the Lithuanian governance capacity and legitimacy within the emergency and crisis management (CM) system and investigate the foc
Denna studie presenterar resultaten från den första detaljerade strukturanalysen av glaciotektoniska strukturer på de norra klippexponeringarna på Ven tillsammans med den första sammanhängande tolkningen av öns glaciotektoniska utveckling. Dessutom presenterar studien resultaten av den första geomorfologiska kartläggningen av land former på Ven. Det primära syftet med denna studie var att fylla kuThis study presents the results from the first detailed structural analysis of glaciotectonic structures of the northern cliff exposures on Ven alongside the first coherent interpretation of the glaciotectonic evolution of the island. Additionally, the study presents the findings of the first geomorphological mapping of surface features on Ven. The primary objective of this study was to fill gaps
The action of a video game Atomic Heart takes place in an alternate Soviet world that combines historical and futuristic elements. This unusual setting provides an intriguing research niche for studying how games as digital media interact with collective memory and cultural perception of the post-Soviet generation. This study examines how the post-Soviet generation reflects on the game’s depiction
I en metaanalys granskades litteraturen om sambandet mellan konfidens och korrekthet i episodiskt minne, med särskilt fokus på minne för brottsrelaterade händelseförlopp vid fri och styrd återgivning. Trots omfattande forskning inom området identifierades en lucka inom forskningsfältet, då ingen tidigare meta- analys specifikt behandlat sambandet mellan konfidens och korrekthet för fri och styrd åThis meta-analysis reviewed the literature on the relationship between confidence and accuracy in episodic memory, specifically focusing on crime- relevant event memory in free and cued recall. Despite extensive research in this area, an apparent gap was identified within memory research, as no prior meta-analysis has addressed the relationship between confidence and accuracy in the context of fre
This thesis explores the intersection of food technology, consumer behavior, and food studies within the context of food product innovation and development, grounded in traditional food knowledge. The focus is on developing tempeh products using lupin and yellow peas—two legumes well-suited to the Swedish climate. The product development process aimed to enhance the protein content and sensory qua
Since the disease was first discovered and defined by the German neuropathologist Alois Alzheimer in 1906, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been referred to as one of the most detrimental neuronal disorders of mankind. Up to date, it is one of the major topics of modern neuroscience with no cure yet discovered. The number of people diagnosed with AD is likely to increase in the future if healthcar
The ongoing refugee crisis has divided the European Union. While some states shelter hundreds of thousands of refugees, others only grant asylum to a handful. This phenomenon is creating a demographic rift inside the union and is also causing internal quarrels over joint responsibility, which possibly could undermine the existence of the organization. In this thesis we search for the potential cau
This thesis analyses the popularity of anti-immigrant parties and anti-immigrant opinions in Europe, which have grown rapidly in the 21st century. Diverging from the earlier research on the topic, the preference of anti-immigrant parties is the key variable of interest and it is analyzed using economic, socio-demographic, as well as sociotropic factors. The first six waves of the European Social S
The packaging market is starting to demand renewable materials to face out the fossil based materials mainly used today. This thesis investigate the possibility and advance to switch from conventional grades of polyethylene (PE) and polyethylene terephthalates (PET) towards bio-produced qualities of the same polymers. The work is divided into two parts starting with a carbon dioxide evaluation of
