Metod: Studien tog sin början i en genomgång av befintlig litteratur för att skapa en grundförståelse samt ett teoretiskt ramverk att utgå ifrån. Detta resulterade i en första version av ett teoretiskt ramverk som ligger till grund för datainsamlingen. Den vetenskapliga ansatsen för studien är således abduktiv. I syfte att förstå beslutsfattande bakom kvasi-standarder användes sensiterande kategorMethod: The study departs in a rigorous review of existing literature in order to create a broad understanding and ultimately a theoretical framework. This theoretical framework is the basis both for data collection and analysis of the empirical findings. The theoretical approach is hence mainly abductive. In order to understand the decision factors behind quasi-standards, sensitized categories we

Inspired by environmental peacebuilding literature, this research explores the peacebuilding potential of natural resources through a qualitative case study of a conflict-affected community’s transition of livelihood strategies from coca cultivation to butterfly farming. The fieldwork was carried out with peasant families in rural Otanche - a biodiversity-rich area that, besides the Colombian conf
A loop of urbanization, increasing impervious surface in urban areas, increasing temperature, rainfall, surface runoff and flooding, and lack of new spaces have been adding challenges to urban drainage systems for decades. The climate change impacts are exposing the existing vulnerable conventional urban drainage systems to more challenges in the future. A new idea of sustainable drainage syst
Study purpose: This paper delves into the nuances of success in the niche market of video-on-demand (VoD) platforms for performing arts in Europe, focusing on managerial perspectives. It seeks to comprehend how top executives construct success and the associated meanings in their strategic decisions within this market, where success is often equated with profitability, survival, or expansion. The
The aim of this study is to investigate how John Marsden’s Tomorrow, when the war began (1993) could be used for reading-between-the-lines practice in the English language classroom. It answers questions relating to how reading between the lines can be understood in relation to Grice’s cooperative principle, the effects of implicature in the text and how teachers can use this information to facili
This paper examines the relevance of the world system as a structural condition to be considered in research on regimes and democratization. This is a pilot study in reformulating world systems analysis into the research topic of regimes, their creation and democratization. The methodology is statistical and covers most of the world for the time period 1980-1999. The study starts by formulating im
Disclosure of Intelligence information and information regarding Intelligence operations can have both advantages and disadvantages. In a descriptive case study of three military operations against suspected underwater activities, the thesis examines, based on a content analysis, how these operations have been framed based on the concept of the intelligence dimension specifically constructed for t
Aedes aegypti is one of the most lethal disease vectors in modern history, spreading a majority of the deadliest diseases mediated by mosquitos. To try and combat this, mankind has, for a long time, tried to create repellents to keep the insects away. These repellents affect receptors in the mosquitos, keeping them at bay. One receptor that is highly expressed in the mosquito’s prey/host sensory o
This study aimed to understand how older adults experience loneliness and how a community center can reduce feelings of loneliness. Using a qualitative method, we conducted semi-structured interviews with six older adults, aged 65 and above, who regularly visit a community center in Skåne. The analysis focuses on three different themes: experiences of loneliness, the meaning of social life, and th
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. År 2020 medde-lThis essay examines the contractual capacity of Sámi villages. 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.
