This master’s thesis, through the use of linguistic landscape analysis, examines three neighbourhoods in the city of Malmö, Sweden (Västra Hamnen, Möllevången and Rosengård), in order to investigate how multilingualism, specifically as a consequence of globalization, is negotiated within public space. Physical text in public space works both to reflect and reinforce wider social processes and prov
Boreal forests are important for climate regulation since they store anthropogenic carbon emissions in vegetation as well as in soil. Forests fires might counterbalance this by releasing the stored carbon to the atmosphere. In this review the effect of forest fires on carbon dynamics in boreal forests was examined. More specifically, studies were reviewed estimating the combustion emissions of car
The aim of this Master's Thesis was to develop a standard for structural testing of implants to be used in transfemoral osseointegrated prostheses, since there is a lack of such standards for this type of implant. The methods used in this project include a literature study, a review of ISO standards, simulations of gait in a software called OpenSim, and a comparison of the OpenSim results with
Within the software industry it is now common to use the freemium business model; giving away the core product for free while charging for additional premium features. A risk for companies adopting the freemium business model is that the percentage of paying customers is not high enough to both subsidize all the free users and make profit for the company. This thesis investigates how the design o
Digitalization is changing the conventional face of business, posing ethical questions with regards to how businesses create, collect, use, and store data as part of their everyday business activities. Moreover, because of the pervasiveness of data technologies and unpredictability of their effects on society at large, the complex network of stakeholders affected by data handling is increasing exp
Dynamically predicted shelf-life label (DPSL) has been discussed to be one of the solutions to curb meat waste. Therefore, the research about the DPSL label and the perceptible information obtained by minced meat consumers is conducted. The research purpose is to identify the critical factors to design a DPSL label for minced meat consumers, and to design and assess the label with the consumers. T
The need for land security continues to be urgent for economic development in Africa. Central governments are implementing large-scale land reforms, yet the effects of land title formalisation are still not thoroughly understood. The growing evidence by macro-level empirical studies of the importance of property rights has not been sufficient for understanding the factors that determine property r
This study explores the experiences of youth’s participation in a youth-led organisation in Kibera, Kenya. The aim of the study is to interpret and understand the meaning youth attribute to their participation in such an organisation.

The study shows how core values affect the innovation process by creating an innovation culture. Core values also create an alignment which leads to conformity and lack of new ideas. Demonstrated is also that core values function as high impact areas of innovation, meaning that employees are encouraged to generate ideas within the fields of core values. Core values are also proved to be used as a
This thesis examines the situation of people living in statelessness by asking 'What is statelessness?' With the aim of contributing to the contemporary understanding of the topic, the text reviews both the resonating theories of Hannah Arendt, as well as original interviews with people living in statelessness today. In accordance with recent critique directed towards the Arendtian school
The aim of the study is to explore the role the Fairtrade producer is given within texts that contribute to the discourse on Fair Trade in Sweden. A sample of 50 texts coming from news articles published in Sweden 2015-2016 and Fairtrade labelled products sold in Lund in 2016 are examined with the help of discourse analysis and discussed in relation to the concepts of glocalization, agency and eth
På grund av plasts ubikvitet i världens hav utvecklas rättsliga instrument för att motverka de negativa miljöeffekterna av plast. Denna uppsats analyserar kritiskt två nya rättsliga utvecklingar inom den internationella miljö-rätten: förordning (EU) 2023/2055 om mikroplaster (som en del av REACH-initiativet) och utvecklingen av ett globalt FN-plasttraktat. Uppsatsen undersöker huruvida de två rättDue to the ubiquity of plastics in the world’s oceans, legal instruments are developed to combat the adverse environmental effects of plastics. This essay critically analyses two recent legal developments in international environmental law: the EU Microplastics Restriction (as a part of the REACH initiative) and the development of a UN Treaty on Plastic Pollution. The essay examines whether the tw
This thesis closely examines Reborn-Art Festival, a new arts and culture festival inaugurated during the summer of 2017 in one of the regions hardest hit by the triple disaster that devastated the northeastern coastline of Japan in 2011. In the face of an unspeakable tragedy like the Great East Japan Earthquake art may not seem like a central concern, but this thesis focuses on that subject specif

Thirteen of them were vegans during this study. One pastor feels that she cannot become a vegan yet because of her line of work and a man stopped being a vegan
Rationale: Urban informal settlements are vulnerable and exposed to hazards. Weather forecasting is possible and provides a “window of opportunity” to push cash or aid to vulnerable dwellers before the disaster strikes. Forecast-based Financing is a framework, which provides this system, and it has had great success with rural pilots. Currently no research has investigated the implementation of Fo
Hotbilden mot organisationers datasäkerhet blir allt mer tilltagande i samband med digitaliseringen. Business intelligence som idag redan är väletablerat inom de flesta organisationer erbjuder metoder och verktyg för att effektivare konsolidera, analysera och visualisera data från tidigare utspridda datakällor. Uppsatsen kartlägger genom en explorativ studie i vilken omfattning BI-verktyg används
