Pricing carbon is often considered to be the cornerstone of any climate policy and, at least in economic theory, it is the only policy intervention required to reach an optimal level of mitigation. In practice, various market and behavioural failures, as well as political barriers, necessitate a policy mix that also encompasses policies to induce energy efficiency and stimulate the up-take of rene

BackgroundMortality among children under five remains a significant health challenge across sub-Saharan Africa. HIV/AIDS is one of the leading contributors to the relatively slow decline in under-five mortality in this region. In Tanzania, HIV prevalence among under-five children is high and 90% of all infections are due to mother-to-child transmission.ObjectivesThe study aimed to examine the asso

The burden of depression and anxiety disorders is greater in women, and female sex hormones have been shown to affect mood. Psychological side effects of hormonal contraception (HC) are also a common complaint in the clinic, but few previous studies have investigated this subject. We therefore wanted to investigate whether use of HC was associated with adverse psychological health outcomes, and wh

Differential migration by sex, where one sex migrates further than the other, occurs in many bird species. How this pattern evolves is however little understood. The first aim of this study was to investigate the extent of differential migration in the common ringed plover Charadrius hiaticula, breeding in southeast Sweden, and test three main hypotheses (the social dominance, body size and arriva

INTRODUCTION: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disabilities. Yet, most individuals with CP are adults. How individuals with CP fare in terms of health, quality of life (QoL), education, employment and income is largely unknown. Further, little is known about the effects of having a child with CP on the parents. The Nordic countries are known for their strong welfare

With the growth of the cloud industry in recent years, the energy consumption of the underlying infrastructure is a major concern.The need for energy efficient resource management and control in the cloud becomes increasingly important as one part of the solution, where the other is to reduce the energy consumption of the hardware itself.Resource management in the cloud is typically done using rel

The Planetary Boundaries concept (PBc) has emerged as a key global sustainabilityconcept in international sustainable development arenas. Initially presented as an agenda for globalsustainability research, it now shows potential for sustainability governance.Weuse the fact that it iswidely cited in scientific literature (>3500 citations) and an extensively studied concept to analyse howit has been

BACKGROUND: Studies of infants with an elevated likelihood of autism spectrum disorder can identify basic developmental processes that are associated with subsequently emerging clinical symptoms. Atypical responsiveness to sounds in infancy is such a potential early marker of autism. Here, we used pupillometry to quantify reactivity to social and nonsocial sounds in infants with a subsequent diagn

Användandet av digitala kommunikationskanaler blir allt vanligare. Traditionella arbetsplatser går mot mer moderna sådana då face-to-face kommunikation byts ut eller kompletteras av kommunikation i virtuella miljöer. Medarbetare kan idag genom diverse digitala verktyg arbeta ”när som helst, var som helst” och den virtuella miljön möjliggör för en rums- och tidsmässig frihet. Föreliggande uppsats äThe use of digital communication channels is getting more and more common. Traditional workplaces are moving towards of becoming more modern, since face-to-face communication is being replaced or supplemented with communication in virtual environments. By using various digital communication tools, co-workers can now work “whenever, wherever” and the virtual environment enables a spatial and tempor

The elderly population within the European Union is growing where as the amount of caregivers is not. The objective of the NavMem project is to make older citizens more self-sufficient and confident specifically while traveling on foot. This could potentially lead to a more active and social life while decreasing the need of senior citizen care. With this objective in mind the NavMem consortium ha

The European furniture industry is driven to change from linear to circular business models. Product-service systems (PSS) are considered to offer promising solutions that may enable the transition towards the circular economy. In the furniture industry, one example of a product-service system is the furnishing rental service. However, understanding of how such a service could be developed and imp

In the last decades of museum policies and practices, the work concerning museum collections has increasingly also become a matter of accessibility for museum visitors. One manifestation of this is to make collections available digitally, but at the same time, many museums also make their collections available physically in the form of visible storage. The latter poses increased risks of damage to

2016-2018, a national user-led organization within the psychiatric field in Sweden established a partnership-based model regarding the implementation and management of peer support within psychiatric health care units. This study was based on a user-led organization and a psychiatric health care organization about to initiate such a partnership. The aim was to examine how these parties constructed

Even though virtual work is becoming more prominent, especially due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, this aspect has not yet been taken up in the research field of change communication as part of organizational and internal communication. There-fore, this study explores the impact of virtuality on change work through the lens of the processual view of change, highlighting the middle manager’s per

The purpose of this study is to investigate how women with an ADHD diagnosis, who were diagnosed in the ages between 12-17, see their own experiences and identities in relation to role expectations of females. The ambition is to bring light to the stories of women, who have been in the shadow of the stereotypical ADHD man in society as well as in studies. The method chosen for empirical material i

The study aims to explore the increasingly relevant and theoretically underexplored field of ridesharing as a solution for first and last-mile transportation, its success factors and challenges, as well as the process of integrating ridesharing into a public transport network. It utilizes a business model innovation framework as the theoretical basis to explore success factors as well as challenge

In March 2021, the first-ever female president in Tanzania, Samia Suluhu Hassan, was inaugurated. This thesis explores how female-identifying students in Tanzania feel empowered by the representation provided by the female president and how identity influences this. This is assessed through a case study of female-identifying social science university students in Tanzania, answering to two research

År 2017 förenades kvinnor över hela världen på sociala medier under hashtagen #metoo. Rörelsen spreds som en löpeld och uppmuntrade kvinnor att bryta tystnaden och tala ut om mäns maktmissbruk och sexuella våld mot kvinnor. Emellertid blev flera av kvinnorna, som offentligt berättade deras historia om sexuella trakasserier och övergrepp, åtalade och dömda för förtal. #Metoo-vågen har således bring

The purpose of this study was to investigate how young people think about their chosen goals and the possibilities of reaching them, as well as whether they associate these goals and possibilities with internal and/or external circumstances. Six first- and third-year high school students were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. They were asked prepared questions and, depending on

There is a trend in urban planning to redevelop industrial areas within cities into new modern residential districts. Considering sustainability goals and heritage conservation, many of these areas are often redeveloped through partial material reuse or full adaptive reuse of buildings. The thesis aims to uncover the actors, networks and processes in the redevelopment and planning processes to und
