This thesis explores the influence of the current economic paradigm, usually referred to as neoliberalism, on various aspects of life, thereby creating its own psychology. This psychology of neoliberalism, with a strong focus on competitiveness, individualism, and consumerism, creates intertwined dynamics for individuals, public institutions, and society and functions as the backbone of economic g
With the shift towards renewable energy, the need for effective energy management grows. Renewable sources introduce variability and unpredictability, leading to volatile energy prices that expose consumers to fluctuations. To mitigate costs, energy storage and forecast models for electricity and thermal energy can be used to make optimal decisions on when to purchase energy from the grid. This th
This project was completed in collaboration with the graph database company Neo4j with the aim of developing a new algorithm for automatic detection of software bugs that degrade system performance, commonly referred to as performance regressions in the industry. Due to the large number of benchmarks used to monitor different aspects of the product environment, a flexible and robust solution was n
The marine environment faces significant changes due to anthropogenic activities, with urbanisation and "marine sprawl" introducing artificial structures that disrupt natural ecosystems. Artificial reefs (AR) and nature-inclusive design offer solutions to enhance habitat complexity and foster ecological restoration. This thesis investigates how AR design and material properties can suppo
My main contribution to the Human Ecology field is exploring the relationship between memories and images of the future when pursuing transition imaginaries. By ‘feeling with the head and reasoning with the heart’, I used a sensory ethnographic method to listen to people's life stories during my fieldwork in Bolivia with territorial defenders. Throughout the data collection and analysis, there
Uppsatsen undersöker frågan samebyars avtalsrätt. Frågan är intressant eftersom samebyar i viss mån kan jämföras med ekonomiska föreningar. Juridiska personer har vanligtvis avtalsfrihet, men samebyars möjligheter är begränsade. Enligt ren-näringslagen får samebyarna inte ingå avtal om upplåtelse, och det är endast rege-ringen som får förordna om ett upphörande av renskötselrätten.

While these villages are, in legal terms, comparable to economic association and thus possess legal personality, their ability to enter into agreements is subject to legal constraints. Unlike typical legal entities Sámi villages are not free to contract as they wish. Under the Reindeer Husbandry Act, Sámi villages are prohibited from g
Agonistic peace is an emerging approach in peace studies that advocates for non-violent and political continuation of conflict through transformation of inter-groups relationships so that former antagonists recognize each other as legitimate actors. As of yet, the practical implications of agonistic peace for ending violence and promoting durable peace have been relatively understudied, especially
The ongoing debate on the reform of Swedish social work education, proposing juvenile delinquency as a mandatory course, raises concerns about the adequacy of current education and competence among professional social workers in effectively addressing this specific form of criminality. The contemporary debate, involving academics and policymakers, overlooks the perspectives and experiences of prac
In recent years, the threat against establishments in Sweden's public environment has increased, especially towards religious congregations, streets, squares, and other densely populated areas. These attacks tend to result in incidents involving ongoing lethal violence. The report examines how different establishments approach warning alarm systems and drills for threats involving ongoing leth
Carbon-14 (14C) is one of the most important contributors to the collective effective dose of the public due to radioactive releases from nuclear power plants. However, the discharge of 14C from nuclear power plants (NPPs) into water has not been measured previously. The aim of this project was to the develop a method for retrospectively analysing the annual discharge of dissolved inorganic 14C. A
Urban green space (UGS) refers to open spaces within an urban context that are filled with greenery and nature. These can range from very small vegetation to expansive park areas. The common denominator is that they have proven to be beneficial for human health and well-being. Access to green spaces is also important for children. Research suggests that time spent in green spaces supports the beha
This study investigates the effects of a linguistic self-distancing technique during reflection on affect, challenge versus threat appraisal, and anticipatory stress for individuals in high-stress occupations. Research in the laboratory suggests that reflections using non-first-person pronouns can reduce emotional reactivity to stressors, improve challenge appraisal, and reduce stress anticipation
This paper studies Swedish working class economic and cultural attitudes from 2002 to 2021 in order to discern whether increased radical right support has led to attitude change, and whether or not these changes complicate working class representation. The results suggest that whilst the working class has become slightly more left-leaning in its economical attitudes, cultural attitudes have become
Brottet vållande till annans död kännetecknas av att en persons agerande lett till någons död utan att detta varit avsiktligt eller kontrollerat från start till slut. För att kunna konstatera att detta agerande varit så pass klandervärt att det faller under straffrättsligt ansvar har domstolen att ta ställning till huruvida en otillåten risk har företagits. Vad som utgör ett otillåtet risktagande To cause someone’s death by mistake can bring criminal liability. For this mistake to be punishable, the court must decide whether an unacceptable risk has been taken. This assessment, however, is surrounded by difficulties when applied in the healthcare system. In medical decision-making, science and proven experience serve as a benchmark for acceptable actions. This essay aims to examine how th
Mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett stort problem i dagens samhälle och trots många försök att få bukt med problemet kvarstår det ännu. Kontaktförbud är en av många åtgärder som finns till hands vid våld i nära relation och har sin främsta användning i att skydda kvinnor ifrån män. Regleringen om kontaktförbud är inte felfri då det finns sätt att kringgå dem. Nyligen har ett problem uppmärksammats där enMen’s violence against women is a big problem in society and despite efforts to solve the problem it persists. A restraining order is one of several options available in case of domestic violence and is used mainly to protect women from men. The legislation concerning restraining orders is not without fault since there are ways to circumvent them. Recently a problem has been brought to light where
Food systems can negatively impact the environment and human health, posing challenges to global sustainability goals. Employing the Three Spheres of Transformation framework, this thesis examines sustainable entrepreneurs' role in transforming food systems to support plant-based food consumption. Focusing on Swedish plant-based alternative food start-ups, I conducted 11 interviews to explore
Klimatförändringarna är ett gränsöverskridande problem som utgör ett hot mot allt liv på jorden. På en internationell nivå inrättar man juridiska ramverk för att minimera konsekvenserna av förändringarna. Exempel på internationella klimatsamarbeten är Förenta nationernas aktiva Parisavtal samt Europeiska unionens gröna giv. Denna studie ämnar att undersöka värden och idéer i Europaparlamentets och
Navigating conflicting interests in regards to land usage is an essential task in the field of urban planning. When the planner's task changes however to become a job of identifying the best available central location for new large scale infrastructure, the navigating instead turns into a question of who is to be displaced. This study examines a case study in Lund, Sweden, where a new generati
6G technology is set to revolutionize wireless communication, advancing far beyond speed enhancements to reshape how we interact with technology. A key factor in this evolution is the efficient use of the radio spectrum, particularly in the centimetre-wave (FR3) bands, ranging from 7 GHz to 24 GHz. This thesis investigates strategies for adapting FR2 transceivers to operate in FR3 frequencies thro
