Currently 70-80 percent of Sweden’s plastic waste is incinerated. Waste-to-energy is usually considered being a mix of fossil and renewable energy and currently around 3 percent of Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions can be attributed to the incineration of plastic waste. Therefore this paper explores the effects of two major measures to decrease the amount of incinerated plastic and thereby increas
Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and risky assets, therefore, it is of vital importance to find an appropriate model for risk measurement. This thesis compares three parametric and three non-parametric estimation methods to estimate the value at risk and the expected shortfall of five cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Binance coin (BNB), Ripple coin (XRP), and Cardano (AD
Justice discourse is noticeably emerging in the sustainable transition field. While at the same time, authoritarian governance, due to the unitary hierarchy in the political system it embeds in, is accused of having a higher possibility to reinforce old and create new injustice. China, in order to meet the carbon goal (strive for carbon peak in 2030 and neutrality in 2060), is expected to have a d
Abstract The purpose of this case study is to investigate whether, and for what reason, green building certification of office properties affects, or does not affect, the sales price in an open bidding. The study's questions are; 1. How big is the possible difference in sales price for a property with a green building certification, compared to a non-certified but otherwise similar building? 2
Denna uppsats syftar till att förklara Miljöpartiets stagnerande utveckling som skett sedan valåret 2010. För att undersöka det kommer studien att utgå från en kvalitativ fallstudie samt en kvantitativ del som behandlar åren 2014-2018 som är Miljöpartiets första fyra år i regeringsposition. Fallstudien är av teoriprövande karaktär, vilket innebär att två hypoteser kommer att presenteras som i stud
While there is a degree of homogeneity in the physical impact that volcanic hazards can cause, the experience of volcanic risk and the politics of exposure are far from equal. The purpose of this thesis is to expand on research citing population growth and property price dynamics as factors encouraging settlement in the Mauna Loa and Kīlauea lava hazard zones. It seeks to determine if high-hazard
Syftet med vår studie var att se vilka eventuella samband det finns mellan boendemiljö och psykologiskt välbefinnande för individer som arbetar hemifrån. I dagens flexibla arbetsliv är arbete hemifrån ett vanligt inslag, vilket gör ämnet aktuellt och intressant att undersöka. Vi valde att genomföra en kvantitativ korrelationsstudie. Som datainsamlingsmetod använde vi en digital enkät. 100 arbetstThe aim of our study was to see which connections, if any, there are between living environment and psychological well-being for individuals who are working from home. In today's flexible work-life, working from home is a common feature, which makes this topic an interesting one to explore. We chose to do a quantitative correlation study. To gather data we used a digital online survey. 100 wo
Arbete på distans blev under en period vardag för flera tjänstepersoner till följd av covid-19 pandemin. Huruvida arbete från den traditionella arbetsplatsen fortsättningsvis är önskvärd för medarbetarna kan tänkas vara av intresse för arbetsgivare att ha kännedom om. Syftet med studien var att undersöka medarbetares upplevelse av distansarbetet utifrån produktivitet och gruppsammanhållning för tiDue to the covid-19 pandemic telework became a regular workday for many white-collar workers during a period of time. Whether the traditional workplace is desirable for workers to be continued working from or not may be of interest to employers to know. The aim of this study was to examine how municipal workers in the white-collar sector experienced telework as well as perceived their productivit
The reinforced composite industry is expanding. This raises the need for more sustainable resource use and waste management. A concept to combat both is circularity, creating a loop between the raw resources and the waste. Two important parts of circularity are recycling and reusing. This thesis presents literature studies on recycling, reuse and end-of-life methods for glass fibre-reinforced plas

The European Model of Sports includes features that form part of the European identity, such as inclusion, tolerance and respect. It has been developed since the 1990s, and has been a cornerstone in the sports policy documents put forward by EU institutions, and was further strengthened by the introduction of Article 165 TFEU. The European Model of Sports is now under threat after the initiation o
Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa ökar i Sverige och forskning visar att en stor problematik hos målgruppen med psykisk ohälsa är svårigheten att finna mening i aktivitet, vilket ses som en nyckel till tillfrisknandet. Naturunderstödd rehabilitering (NUR) är en rehabiliteringsform som bland annat är utvecklad av arbetsterapeuter och som visat ge positiva effekter för personer med psykisk ohälsa. Trots att
Every year more and more brands are deciding to show their values by taking an active role and taking a stand for social and political causes. Among them, fashion brands stand out as it is an industry that is often in the spotlight due to social and environmental scandals.

The connected and automated car is performing more and more driving tasks autonomously. This produces a lot of data. The EU Database Directive gives non-original databases protection through the sui generis database right. Whether these databases with machine-generated data should be part of the scope of the right is unclear, depending on the interpretation of the right. The proposed EU Database A
Bakgrund: I dagsläget har 150 000 personer i Sverige diagnostiserats med en demenssjukdom och det finns ännu inga botemedel mot sjukdomen. De icke-farmakologiska interventionerna utgör en viktig funktion för att lindra sjukdomens symtom och konsekvenser. Enligt arbetsterapeutisk teori bidrar meningsfulla aktiviteter till att främja välbefinnandet. För att arbetsterapeuter ska kunna använda aktivit
Covid-19 has had profound effects on peoples’ health and livelihoods; resultingly, companies have felt the recoil too. Social distancing mandates and supply chain disruptions have forced organizations to adapt. Organizational adaptation has occurred in many forms; however, when organizations orchestrate digital business model change through the use of digital technologies, it can be argued that di
Delningsekonomi är ett växande fenomen i samhället. Kortfattat handlar delningsekonomi om att använda underutnyttjade resurser bättre genom att dela. Att dela ytor kan innebära en mer effektiv användning av befintliga byggnader vilket potentiellt kan minska behovet av nyproduktion. På svenska fastighetsmarknaden finns däremot viss problematik som hindrar en ökad delning av ytor. Problematiken beröThe sharing economy is a growing phenomenon in society. Simply described, the sharing economy is about using underutilized resources better through sharing. Sharing space can mean a more efficient use of existing buildings, which potentially can reduce the need for new buildings. In the Swedish real estate market, there are certain problems that prevent an increased sharing of space. The problems
Up to 5% of children in Sweden experience domestic violence at home. A common misunderstanding when it comes to children being exposed to domestic violence is that they are not being harmed by the exposure. As a result of this, children are not being adequately protected against the potentially harmful outcomes that follow. The aim of this study was therefore to explore how and if children’s risk
