Industrialization has been the key engine for economic growth in the developed world, and currently these economies are substituting away from manufacturing towards services. The alarming trend is that developing countries are doing so as well to an even greater extent and at a lower level of GDP and development. This phenomenon of deindustrialization is premature for developing economies as they

Contrary to what practice suggests, social media platforms may not be an appropriate forum for communicating with civil society about sustainability issues. It is common knowledge that fake news and misinformation campaigns are distorting the line between fact and falsity on social media platforms. Complicating this arrangement, these circumstances are the backdrop of a wider distrust of expert op

Climate change is a fact and effects everybody on this planet, whether its humans, plants or animals. There is a comprehensive agreement about the mechanisms on how aerosol particles affect the radiative balance of the earth, but there is a need of more knowledge to fully understand climate change and the strength of the aerosol radiative forcing. The aim of this thesis is to investigate if the SM

Population ageing affects most European countries, placing increasing pressure on publicly funded Long Term Care (LTC) systems. Informal care is often seen as a low-cost alternative to formal care services, yet it may induce unwelcome reductions in labour supply. This study presents evidence on the relationship of informal care provision, employment probability, and work hours of mature caregivers

Social impact in social entrepreneurship and social innovation is a significant common denominator in these fields which received increasing attention recently. The attention is concentrated to measurement methods but the concept social impact is still “fuzzy”. This thesis contributes with clarification of social impact. The study is a case study of social impact where an abductive qualitative app

SCAPIS is a national project in Sweden and stands for Swedish CardioPulmonary bioImage Study. The objective of SCAPIS is to find biomarkers in order to improve the risk prediction and lower the death rate of Cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is a big health problem and is one of the main causes of death in many industrial countries. It is usually related to atherosclerosis, which is plaque buildup

Since 2015, the provision of solid waste management-related services in Lebanon has been severely lacking and environmentally detrimental. This national crisis has led some municipalities and local enterprises to collaborate to implement sustainable solutions to the disposal of waste. This work explores the functioning of one specific partnership established in Lebanon between the municipality of

The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is an agile methodology that aligns collaboration between multiple teams in agile software development. SAFe is commonly being applied to global environments where team members are sitting distributed, through so-called virtual teams. The aim of this study is to investigate how the Scaled Agile Framework is perceived by employees working within a virtual team sett

Vägar är en onekligen central del i vårt globala samhälle. De betyder kontakt och förflyttning för oss, men för djuren är dem ofta hinder vilket kan leda till att habitat fragmenteras och att djur isoleras. När djuren isoleras kan de inte nå nya resurser eller nya habitat, eller hitta en partner. Detta kan innebära att djuren får sämre överlevnadschanser och svårare att fortplanta sig. I värsta faHabitat fragmentation is a common problem in relation with road infrastructure which leads to mortality, isolation of animal populations, and has a negative effect on biodiversity. Animal crossings have been implemented in many countries and are a useful tool to mitigate these problems but they are expensive to build. This thesis explores the methodological approaches used to evaluate how wildlife
