The aim of this study was to evaluate a central service for the monitoring of supplier compliance with Code of Conduct for social and ethical performance that the Sub-Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKI) in Sweden provides for several Swedish municipalities. The evaluation has been carried out via combination of two approaches: a)A survey of participating municipalities’ thoughts an

The purpose of this master’s thesis is to illuminate the information practices of professional musicians in the field of Early music. These musicians have a special interest in exploring the performance practices of the time periods when the music was composed, to make it more vivid in the present. This more and more widespread approach to Early music is called Historically Informed Performance (H

Previous research indicate that social and ecological sustainability dimensions are handled separately within the work of goal fulfilment. Important key actors are having a hard time finding synergies between them which leads to a slower green and healthy transformation of cities. On the local level, this problem is connected to the decentralization of municipalities due to their growing assig
Sweden’s road traffic is responsible for a great part of the emissions of greenhouse gases in the country. Conventional vehicles, driven by fossil fuels, have low efficiency and emits environmentally destructive particles. Electric vehicles can be the solution! Electric vehicles have no local emissions while driving and the electric motors of today have an efficiency of above 90 %. But there are s
Clarifying the mechanisms maintaining atrial activity during atrial fibrillation (AF), still remains as a relevant topic. The purpose of this master thesis is to apply correlation analysis and system identification methods to study spatial and temporal propagation of atrial activation along coronary sinus (situated in the posterior left part of the heart, in the groove between left atrium and left
Abstract The aim of this thesis is to discuss the tools needed to work with environmental issues in a condominium. This includes what the tenants can do to reduce their environmental impacts, and what can be expected in their voluntary work from an environmental perspective. Through a case study in the form of an environmental review of the condominium association Malmöhus 49, a model has been dev
High fuel prices and stringent emission norms stimulate the improvement of engine efficiency and emission reductions. This is one of the leading issues in the truck industry. A waste heat recovery technology (WHR) can be used to solve this issue. The evaporative cycle represents the WHR. This thesis is part of a research project which is carried out at the department of Energy Science at Lund Univ
Arkiv används ofta som en källa inom olika forskningsprojekt. I den här uppsatsen är det istället arkivet i sig som är studieobjekt. Utifrån mediearkeologisk teori undersöks Biblioteksstyrelsens arkiv i Åmål. Uppsatsens teoretiska utgångspunkter är att arkiv befinner sig i en samhällelig kontext och återspeglar det minne det lagrar. Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ studie och arkivet har undersökts på fArchives are often used as a source in various research projects. In this essay, it is instead the archive that is a study object. Based on media archaeological theory, the Library Board's archive in Åmål is examined. The theoretical basis of the essay is that archives are in a social context and reflect the memory it stores. It is a qualitative study and the archive has been investigated on s
The increasing prevalence of Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) in Sweden is a cause of concern to both individuals and the public health service. The disease is spread via bites from the vector Ixodes ricinus and causes long-term neurological damage in 46% of cases. To date, research in this field has focussed on the relationship between climate and TBE incidence and there is little to no available re
The city of Malmö reaches only 2 of its 19 environmental targets and one of the reasons is that the hard surfaces increases in the urban area. There is however a general trend for private house owners to harden their gardens and the city of Malmö has limited actions to address this issue. One action is to inform the private house owners of the positive effects of vegetation/soft surfaces and rainw
This paper investigates the impact of information spillovers on the export entry decision of Chinese manufacturers between 2000 and 2006 by using a combination of firm and transaction level data that allows to track the occurrence of individual export starts and captures the extent of local export agglomeration at a detailed geographical level. We examine if the presence of neighboring exporters i
Aspects of Error Quantification and Evaluation in Digital Elevation Models for Glacier Surfaces This study explores methods to quantify and evaluate error in digital elevation models (DEMs) built from remotely sensed elevation data of the Hintereisferner glacier. A special focus lies on glacier surfaces because glaciers are often inaccessible for field observations but at the same time prone to m
The work as a social worker comes with a great responsibility when it comes to making decisions that may impact people's lives. The social worker has the opportunity to make a professional decision by using the information that has been provided from the clients. However, the social worker does not have the ability to make any decision based on their own preferences. They have the freedom of a
This thesis critically examines the issue of shared border sewage between San Diego and Tijuana. In light of the recent sewage spill in February of 2017, dumping 143 million gallons of raw sewage into the Tijuana River, the phenomena of border sewage in the transnational environment of the Tijuana River Watershed has been a topic of interest in local and international contexts; raising questions o
The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is a non-indigenous species to the Baltic Sea that has drawn the attention of many researchers in the last decade due to its rapid spreading and its impact on the local fauna. With recent concerns about the dispersal of the round goby towards the North Sea, the aim of this study was to determine if the native shore crab could compete with the invaders and pr
The rise of private firms was vital for China’s coastal economic development, and this institutional change should play an essential role if the country wants to replicate its successes elsewhere. The first testing ground for such replication is the Go West Program. Aimed at the catching up of China’s interior, the program uses the city of Chongqing as a growth pole. Based on the coastal experienc
In microfluidic systems, resonant acoustic fields enable controlled particle manipulation, a phenomena known as acoustophoresis. These contactless and low-cost processes have successfully been applied to manipulate bulk particle populations, however robust single-cell manipulation for single-cell analysis remains a challenge. This work presents an experimental investigation into optimising the con
This study investigates the occurrence and distribution of 18 lichen species associated with Nordic alvar and Precambrian limestone habitats on Gotland and Öland, which represent globally unique environments with a generally high biodiversity. During field surveys in the spring of 2025, historically known sites of the chosen lichen species were revisited, where species presence, frequency, and env
