Proteins are dynamic entities that intermittently depart from their ground-state structures and undergo conformational transitions as a critical part of their functions. Central to understanding such transitions are the structural rearrangements along the connecting pathway, where the transition state plays a special role.

Technological innovations within the field of sustainable energy production require a substantial amount of capital investment in order to conduct research and development. Crowdsourcing represents an innovative and new approach to raising the capital investment needed for sustainable technological innovations in the sustainable energy sector and is inherently entrenched with Transition Theory.

Master project made at Lund Institute of Technology Department of Design Sciences, division of Industrial Design in cooperation with Basecamp Explorer. Basecamp Explorer wanted me to be involved in the development of the interior of the guest tents in their camp in Masai Mara, Kenya and the Pyrenees, France. Basecamp Explorer runs ecological tourism destinations on a handful of places in the world

The relationship between the indoor environment and health is complex as people in modern societies spend more than 90% of their time indoors. Long -time and follow-up assessment of indoor environmental quality is important in reference to the health and wellbeing of those who occupy space within it. Physical factors such as temperature, air drag, noise and lighting affect our health and well-beinMänniskor i dagens moderna samhälle spenderar cirka 90 % sin tid inomhus. Därför är inomhusmiljön väldigt viktig för hälsa och välbefinnande. Faktorer i inomhusmiljön som påverkar vår hälsa kan vara temperatur, luftdrag, ljud och ljus. Huvudsyftet med denna undersökning var att följa upp hälsotillståndet för invånarna i Landskrona kommun med avseende på olika faktorer om deras inomhusmiljö. Vi va

Transitioning away from fossil fuels is prominent to stay within the 1.5-degree limit outlined in the Paris Agreement. For this to occur, the socio-technical energy system needs to become more flexible and support decentralized systems. One way to do this, as advocated by the European Union as well, is to support local energy initiatives. This paper examines how different local energy initiatives

This dissertation consists of three empirical essays concerning social norms and their effect on economic outcomes. Each essays discusses a seperate subject.

In this paper, the studied subject is the residents' inclusion in the green initiatives for Ekostaden Augustenborg. As well as the way in which the information has been reached by the residents regarding the possibility of participating in the area's green efforts and green projects. The study investigates to which extent the residents have been included and what their opportunities are to

The Philippines is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, particularly flooding due to extreme climatic events, therefore efforts in reducing and managing associated risks are crucial. A case study for a flooding risk assessment based in Region III, Central Luzon was conducted through an exposure, damage, and risk analysis of economic and social factors for three different return periods with the

A qualitative case study has been conducted about the management and use of operating instructions in a process plant in Sweden. The work was inspired by Dekker's notion of two paradigms in relation to procedures, where Model 1 is authoritarian and top-down, and Model 2 is flexible and consultative (Dekker, 2003). The results support Dekker's hypothesis, that organizations should strive to

Organized crime in Sweden has increased despite the Government’s 34-point action program against gang crime. Previous studies show that schools have an important role in preventing young people from entering the criminal life. But there are no Swedish studies that examine teachers’ implementation of crime prevention measures and therefore, there seems to be a need to investigate this. The research

This study investigates the effect of remediation of contaminated sites on nearby property prices in Västra Götaland, Sweden. Using a hedonic property framework combined with a multi-period Difference-in-Differences method, the aim is to examine whether remediation leads to measurable changes in housing values. The analysis builds on the approach used by Haninger, Ma, and Timmins (2017), but appli

Business travel contributes to significant greenhouse gas emissions, and there is a need for measures that reduce the demand for trips made with energy-intensive means of transport. In this study, a mobility service application (MSA) introduced in 13 Swedish organisations was tested and evaluated to facilitate booking and handling of business trips, in particular public transport.

Factors contributing to valuable development assistance are often perceived as a "black box," due to heterogeneity of development aid motives. This research brings out that too often, the value of aid is assessed from the perspectives of the donors rather than from its recipients. Therefore, this thesis takes a focus to study the recipient's perspectives for valuable development assi

This thesis explores the local identity of Pori, a middle-sized city on Finland’s western coast, through visual representations. The research aims to form a solid base to describe the local identity by answering two questions: ‘What are the main elements building the local identity in the city of Pori?’ and ‘How the visual materials can reveal these elements of identity?’ The research material of

This research paper analyzes the effect of growing environmental concern on home bias in the European Union. Using the latest release of the International Trade and Production Database for Estimation, for the years 2002-2016, the home bias is estimated with the gravity model of trade. The Eurobarometer “Public Opinion in the European Union” is used as a proxy for environmental concern over the sam

Economic growth has for a long time been the policy goal for Western cities. Since the decline of the Keynesian economic model, cities have to compete against others – on a global arena – to attract citizens and corporations to their cities. To reach the policy goal of economic growth cities develops growth oriented strategies. In a Swedish context, local politics have often been understood as the
