The purpose of the study was to capture a number of views on what impact language has on integration processes and social life. Since language is an important component of communication amongst people, it affects several aspects of everyday life such as occupation and social participation. To accomplish the aim eight people of foreign origin with experience of studying the language education progr
Water resources management has been reconfigured over time and space; as power over decision-making processes has increasingly been vested from the state and distributed among networks of private and non-governmental actors. Geographical scholarships of environmental governance seek to critically analyse this transformation in order to grasp how decisions are made, and the consequences that entail
This thesis aims to test and evaluate the use of image-based 3D modelling techniques on rune stones. To test the method a well-documented rune stone was chosen, Hyby stone 1. The stone has been dated to the Viking Age and contains 37 runes, whereof 29 are still visible, two crosses and a stag. These carvings have been detected by other scholars with the use of non-digital methods. In order to eval
Problem definition: Supply chain segmentation is a topic which in later years has received increasing attention from supply chain managers of companies in industrial settings. To members of the supply chain research community the ideas and theoretical contributions underlying the concept of supply chain segmentation are hardly new, but have evolved ever since the beginning of the 1990s. However, a
Som ett alternativ till att implementera mjukvaran in-house är det möjligt att hyra mjukvara som en tjänst, detta kallas för Software as a Service (SaaS). SaaS ställer nya krav på leverantör och kund då de ställs inför nya risker och möjligheter. Efter en litteraturgenomgång har vi identifierat dessa och funnit att vissa faktorer betraktas både som en möjlighet och risk. De faktorer som påstås
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to develop a theoretical framework that enables a company to measure the success of an initiative that migrates customers from one channel to another, in order to improve or upgrade the way of handling customer support between the company and its end customers. Methodology: The strategy for this thesis was to carry out an iterative case study - theory-led by
The world continues to boil due to capital’s incapacity to resolve its climatic contradictions. Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), a technological process theorised to instantly reduce global temperatures, has piqued the interest of a now desperate ruling class. Given its worldwide impacts, enormous risks, and capitalist- imperialist reproductive capacities, it is crucial to engage with SAI wh
Development of a new spatially complete and daily continuous lake surface water temperature dataset for Lake Vänern, Sweden Keywords: Physical Geography, Ecosystem Analysis, Remote Sensing, Data Fusion, Reanalysis Product, Lake Surface Water Temperature, Hydrology Lake Surface Water Temperature (LSWT) is an important indicator to monitor changes due to climate change on a regional scale. Changes
Like other African countries, Kenya’ economy and food security is heavily dependent on agriculture. Climate change has led to variability in temperature and precipitation, and extreme weather events such as droughts and floods, all of which can significantly impact crop productivity and food security in the long-term. Furthermore, water scarcity poses a critical challenge for Kenya, particularly i
The carbon intensity is an important metric that provides a clear measure of the environmental impact associated with the electricity use. Carbon intensity of electricity use is differentiated into CO₂ equivalents per kilowatt-hour, which standardises the measurement by expressing the emissions of various greenhouse gases in terms of the equivalent amount of CO₂ based on their global warming poten
Denna rapport utforskar konceptet undvikna utsläpp, även kallat Scope 4-utsläpp, som en del av företags hållbarhetsrapportering- och kommunikation. Med fokus på PowerCell Group, en leverantör av vätgasdrivna bränsleceller, undersöker studien hur Scope 4-utsläpp kan integreras i hållbarhetsrapportering och vilka möjligheter och utmaningar detta innebär. Undvikna utsläpp refererar till de minskningThis thesis explores the concept of Scope 4 emissions, also known as avoided emissions, within corporate sustainability reporting. With a focus on PowerCell Group, a provider of hydrogen fuel cell solutions, this study investigates the integration of avoided emissions reporting, assessing both the potential benefits and the challenges associated with this practice. Avoided emissions refer to redu
How civil society perceives climate change communication by outlets is key for sustainable development. Being predicted to get largely impacted due to climate change and having a great influence on future sustainability outcomes, young people are an important group to focus on in the field of perception and climate change communication. Therefore, this research aims to determine where young people
While developing countries are faced with pressing socio-economic challenges, they are also increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of environmental degradation. Starting from this double challenge, current research has been focusing on the synergies between economic development and environmental protection. Within the field, the concept of environmental leapfrogging has emerged, referring to the p
Climate change is one of the greatest environmental challenges at the present time and is currently an issue affecting the entire global population. Alternative renewable energy sources are vital to be able to deal with this challenge. Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources and is therefore also one of the fastest growing industries in this field. However, solar energy
Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka huruvida RFID-tekniken och streckkodsläsning i Androidtelefoner gick att tillämpa i en biblioteksmiljö. Fem bibliotekarier intervjuades för att utreda vilka funktioner som hade varit av värde i det vardagliga arbetet. Utvecklingen skedde i Android Studio med Java där verktyg som Gradle och J-Unit användes. CI/CD tillämpades i utvecklingsprocessen. En we
During the past, land use has changed and still is. It has been recognized that land use changes affect biodiversity all over the world. In Sweden semi-natural grasslands are a habitat with high biodiversity. The topic of this thesis is how land use change has affected the habitat of semi-natural grasslands in the area around Osby, Scania. For that purpose, semi-natural grasslands in a historical
