The aim of the study is to compare the environmental performance in terms of Global Warming Potential (GWP), for reused bricks and newly manufactured bricks used in Swedish Construction Industry. The objective of the study was to compile and conduct Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), in terms of GWP, of newly manufactured and reused clay façade bricks used in Sweden. Cradle-to-cradle lifecycle impact of
This thesis is a comparative case study about how the Swedish municipalities Malmö and Umeå address gender aspects in their comprehensive plans. It also discusses how these municipalities approach the situation of women with diverse ethnic backgrounds in their planning strategies. According to previous research, immigrant women often have different experiences of the city than other women. The the

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate if there is any difference in payout policies between firms that adopt a dual-class share structure compared to a single-class share structure. Methodology: We are using an unbalanced panel data set of firms that are listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange (SSE). The econometric approach is based on pooled ordinary least square regressions, rand
Title: Corporate green bonds in the equity and debt capital markets – a comparative study of Sweden, the US and Europe Seminar Date: June 1st, 2022 Course: BUSN79 Authors: Valentin Eriksson, Ole Heinrichs Advisor: Marco Bianco Keywords: Corporate green bonds, debt capital markets, equity capital markets, country comparison, Sweden, US, Europe, signalling theory, information asymmetry, bond co
The aim of this thesis is to understand how migrants perceive their opportunities to access health care, and how underlying factors result in barriers impacting their access to health care and ability to safeguard their health. It does so by answering the research question: How do Venezuelan migrants in Medellín perceive their access to health care? To fulfil the aim and answer the research questi
Social and environmental issues associated with US military presence in Okinawa have adversely affected island residents for years and requires urgent attention. However, with actors with different beliefs and values involved, the search for sustainable solutions is elusive. An ecolinguistic analysis is conducted on digital newspaper articles published in four ‘societies’ – the US, US military, Ja
Following the current global wave of sustainable development, the EU has been playing a leading role in reshaping the global trade landscape with its ambitious sustainable trade toolboxes. Particularly, the evolvement of sustainable development provisions in EU’s Bilateral Trade Agreements (BTA) have sparked growing discussions and debates in the legal arena. This study aims to analyse the role of
This paper examines the extent of income inequality that is attributed inherited circumstances such as social and family background, denoted as Inequality of Opportunity or IOp, for natives and second-generation immigrants in Sweden. The measurement of Inequality of Opportunity captures the between-type inequality, when individuals are grouped into types based on these predetermined circumstances,
For the fourth year in a row, Poland continues to rank as the lowest country of the European Union on the yearly report on the legal and political situation of queer people in Europe. With constant negative media portrayal of queer communities and homophobic remarks from politicians, Polish queer individuals become antagonized and stigmatized by the society. This thesis aims to explore the less re
In the last decade, the philosophy behind deliberate practice and traditional learning methods have received criticism for the limitations as a learning method. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of linear and non-linear pedagogical methods for teaching the wide receiver stance and start to adolescents. Pre- and post-test of five-, 10- and 20-meter sprints from a wide receiver st
The growing accumulation and mismanagement of waste disrupt the ecological systems that sustain human existence, leaving environmental burdens for future generations. This situation highlights the need for circular approaches such as zero-waste management, where waste is treated as a resource rather than discarded. Studying social waste relations in Sweden is particularly relevant, given the count
European strategic autonomy has been a fluctuating discussion since the end of the Second World War. It has primarily been the project of France, but has mostly failed to materialise. This is partly due to other European states’ worry that such a project would become an extension of French national interests. Some of the strongest opponents of an exclusive European defence cooperation have been sm
Increasing cross-border interaction in the border regions combined with the largely state-centric legislative processes of the nation states, have unfolded a demand for border regional actors to attempt to influence the state level to change legislation, as barriers are identified for individuals and companies. Adapting a border regional perspective, the actors and organisational methods to remove
In the easternmost Sveconorwegian Province, field studies have shown that some intrusions remained largely unaffected by the Sveconorwegian orogeny. However, seemingly pristine gabbros locally display the incipient development of amphibolite amphibolite-facies mineral assemblages in microscale corona textures. The primary objective of this study is to document in detail the microtextures that occu
This thesis evaluates the implementation of two extraordinary measures in Sweden to combat organized crime: the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and the designation of gangs as terrorist organizations. The thesis is motivated by the developments and evolutions in gang- and organized crime-related violence and the desire to identify viable solutions to combat it. Such devel
Extreme climate events, such as heatwaves, are predicted to increase in frequency, intensity, and duration in the near future. Subarctic and boreal climate zones are expected to be especially negatively impacted, as recent shifts in temperature regimes are already particularly strong compared with more southern biomes. While many studies have focused on gradual warming and on both acute and chroni
The objective of this thesis is to expand on previous research by implementing a new method for order-restricted estimation of length-biased data. This paper addresses the implementation and analysis of a stochastic spatial probabilistic model for characterizing the geometric relationship between perpetrator addresses and crime scene locations. The given data are length-biased observations of a de
