This thesis researched the Cleantech Innovation and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem (CIEE) of South Africa with the dual aim to improve and operationalise a conceptual framework as well as to identify areas for intervention in the specific case of South Africa. Supporting the growth of cleantech solutions in developing countries and emerging economies can be an important driver of inclusive and sustain
“The buck stops here”. Så stod det skrivet på det lilla plakatet på president Trumans skrivbord. Detta budskap, lika allmängiltigt idag som 1953, borde verka som en påminnelse om värdet av ansvar och möjligheten till utkrävande av detsamma från alla instutioner och personer med inflytande över människors liv och välmående. Privata militära aktörer är idag aktiva över hela världen och är involverad“The buck stops here”, as was the wording on the famous sign on President Truman’s desk, should remind us today - as it reminded all Americans of the virtues of accountability and responsibility in 1953 - that any office or person that holds influence over the lives of others needs to be able to be held accountable for their actions. Today, Private Military Companies - or PMCs for short - are depl
This study investigates how the TRAP-18 instrument can be used to identify and prioritize threats from lone actor terrorists by applying the framework on a case of a Swedish man convicted of weapons offenses and crimes against the law on flammable and explosive substances. This case is a contribution to the increasing number of studies using TRAP-18, due to the fact that the individual studied is
The decision by the European Union to enforce the Temporary Protection Directive to respond to the inflow of Ukrainian displaced people in member states has resulted in a peculiar governance system that sets Ukrainian displaced people as an exceptional category of vulnerable migrants. Their stay is temporary, but as it is impossible to predict a date for Ukraine to be deemed a safe country again,
This study investigates the environmental impact from dog food and cat food produced in Sweden. With over 2.5 million dogs and cats in Sweden the potential environmental effect from their food is relevant to investigate. The aim of this study is therefore to quantify the environmental impact of 1 kg dog and cat food sold by Granngården. This has been done with the life cycle assessment (LCA) metho
This study aims to forecast the Swedish FCR-D Down A2 market prices through a hybrid model combining a volatility model and a machine learning approach, and compares its performance with a standalone machine learning model. We further examine the impact of different lag orders (1-Hr vs. 24-Hr) on volatility estimates and forecast performance. Evaluation metrics include root of mean squared error (
Lake Vomb is situated in the southwest of Skåne, Sweden, and is important due to its role as drinking water reservoir. The lake is situated in highly cultivated farmland and is highly influenced by nutrient rich run-off water. There is no locally adapted water management plan for lake Vomb and the lake is currently managed under a regional water management plan which covers the entire Southern B
Grobruket is a small company that works with cultivation in many ways and they are very aware of their climate footprint. Therefore, they are also interested in taking a deeper look into the environmental impact of different covering materials used for greenhouses. The most common covering materials used in greenhouses are glass, ethylene vinyl acetate plastic (EVA) and polycarbonate plastic. The
The wolf topic is subject for considerable controversy in Sweden. Today, wolves are recognized, by the IUCN redlist, as locally endangered and what is more, the Swedish population suffers from ample inbreeding. However, between 2010-2022 license hunts have been allowed on an almost yearly basis, albeit not without numerous appeals. Because the wolf is strictly protected under the European Unio
Recent years of reoccurring heatwaves in urban areas have led to an awareness of the negative effect heat can have on people and ecosystems. Trees play an important role in cooling urban areas but need to maintain their vitality to do so. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the resilience of the tree community in Malmö from the perspective of an increased mean annual temperature (MAT). In th
The ICT sector’s greenhouse gas emissions are comparable to those of the aviation industry, and the actors within the sector have a responsibility to reduce these in order to help combat global warming. A relatively new area of concern is the climate impact of software due to energy consumption. For example, AI has been acknowledged as an emissions-hungry technology because of the large computatio
The aim of this literature study was to understand the different perspectives of actors within forestry and conservation in terms of the species goodyera repens, and its debate.This study focuses on the red-listed orchid G. repens. A comparation of different actors was done, and it can be seen that the opinions of the actors’ are very different from each other. In summary, the actors who were more
Working Mexican mothers have been experiencing drastic changes in their way of life due to the forced adaptation of their office work into a ‘Home office’ mode. The reason of this sudden change was brought by the Covid-19 pandemic which prompted governments and companies to enforce lockdowns and social distancing as measures to prevent the contagion. This pushed working women to juggle work and ho
Swedish environmental, health, and food inspection is heavily decentralised to a municipal level. These municipalities share the same laws and have little authority to write their own policies regarding these subjects. This should logically lead to the de facto policies looking similar from municipality to municipality. However, there could exist other forces that affect the policies from a non-le
This study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of Swedish small forest owners’ perspectives on ecological compensation on their land in relation to wind farm construction, specifically how their sense of ownership influences their willingness to engage in such activities. To fulfil this aim, semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten private forest owners who had signed agreements for win
Resource extraction and processing contribute to more than 90% of biodiversity loss and water scarcity and about 50% of climate impacts globally. Moving towards a sustainable resource use is fundamental for reducing environmental impact. Resource use is often considered within the framework of the Circular Economy, a concept that has been widely adopted as a key strategy to meet this challenge. In
The construction sector accounts for 20 percent of Sweden's climate impact and 40 percent of all generated waste. Ventilation systems, together with other installations, represent about 10 percent of a building's climate impact during the construction phase. Reuse of building products is a circular method to prevent waste and reduce emissions, but reuse is not very common in the constructi
