Social capital can be a vital resource for entrepreneurs but so far research has not addressed how it is accessed through online communication channels. This paper presents a new way of sourcing network information about Swedish entrepreneurs and consequently explores whether rural entrepreneurs utilize online social capital as much as entrepreneurs from urban or metropolitan areas do. Theory impl

This project aims to highlight the manufacturer as an important asset in product development. In order to design a product, it is necessary, especially for industrial designers to have good knowledge of the manufacturing technologies that are available and to have knowledge of the working environments in which our ideas are put into practice. Increased cooperation between local actors opens opport

Part of the Sound Studies Lecture Series CARLA J. MAIER This talk will address politics of sound and ethics of listening by situating sound studies and music within postcolonial theory, popular culture and ethnographic practice. Drawing from Maier’s book Transcultural Sound Practices: British Asian Dance Music as Cultural Transformation, she will discuss the concrete sonic techniques and performat

In early 2026, the European Union (EU) adopted the Omnibus I proposal to simplify the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by reducing reporting burdens and enhancing competitiveness. However, it has been criticised for weakening sustainability ambitions and increasing uncertainty about future sustainability reporting. This thesis examines how sustainability professionals percei

Popular Abstract in English This thesis considers a model of high energy particle collisions. The model is based on the so called BFKL formalism which is valid only at low x, that is collisions at very high energies, such as at the LHC. The intial state of the incoming particles are simulated by colour dipoles in transverse space evolved through rapidity. With this approach, all fluctuations are dThis thesis considers a model of high energy particle collisions. The model is based on the so called BFKL formalism which is valid only at low x, that is collisions at very high energies, such as at the LHC. The intial state of the incoming particles are simulated by colour dipoles in transverse space evolved through rapidity. With this approach, all fluctuations are dynamically described, allowi

The Elites of Civil Society: A Comparative Analysis presents the first book-length analysis of the top echelons in civil society from an elite perspective. Combining elite studies with civil society research, the book analyses civil society elite structures in four countries – Italy, Poland, Sweden, and the UK. Using a theoretical framework focusing on the vertical stratification in the sector and

The Northern high latitudes are warming twice as fast as the global average, and permafrost has become vulnerable to thaw. Changes to the environment during thaw leads to shifts in microbial communities and their associated functions, such as greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding the ecological processes that structure the identity and abundance (i.e., assembly) of pre- and post-thaw communities

Popular Abstract in English Animal flight has always intrigued people, and different aspects of animal flight have therefore widely been studied by biologists, physicists and engineers. At least to me, the aspect concerning the aerodynamics of animal flight in particular is very interesting because of the complex temporal varying wake dynamics as a result of continually wing morphing in flapping fThe efficiency and performance of a flying animal is directly related to the aerodynamics around its body and flapping wings. Here, I have developed methods for quantifying the wake dynamics around a flying animal. The results are used to estimate the aerodynamic performance of flapping flight. Using these methods, I have studied flight of the Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca), the Pallas’ Long

Finland has had a steep decline in fertility since 2010, which has yet to show any signs of slowing down. This is highly problematic for a country like Finland which has had well below replacement level fertility over the past five decades. This study analysed previous studies and theories related to fertility, primarily in the Finnish and Nordic contexts. Moreover the author performed his own eco

Adverse consequences of global climate change increasingly affect society and economic performance. Climate finance structure supports mitigation and adaptation actions that address climate change. Developing economies are adopting climate adaptation measures to cope with the current climate situation and simultaneously promote sustainable development. The interrelation between climate adaptation

In the year 2013 one fourth of the Swedish population felt some kind of health problems caused by their work environment. Approximately 300 000 people that same year hade to report in sick in at least one day, which is 6 % of the employed population of Sweden. This study shows that the work environment has several ways to cause the workers’ health problems. Noise might cause hearing loss, poor li

The Arctic has undergone extreme changes during the last decades and is warming over twice the global average. There has been increasing interest in understanding how warming and changes in snow and rainfall will affect high-latitude ecosystems. Although observational studies highlight the importance of cold-season carbon fluxes on the annual carbon balance, models, in general, cannot realisticall

This master’s thesis analysed sustainable development policies in China’s 11th Five-Year Plan and sustainable development considerations at the building of the Bui Dam in Ghana. The theory section discusses and defines sustainable development, and in the method section, ‘ideal-types’ of economic, social and environmental development were developed. These ideal-types were then used as reference poi

The estimated number of children who are utilised as child soldiers all over the world is 250,000 today. Based on the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers research children were used in armed conflicts in 20 countries from 2004-2007. One of the most prominent nations involving the use of child soldiers is the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is estimated, that 40% of them are girls, who
