Today's company strategy should include sustainability as a key component. There, however, exists uncertainty regarding the implementation of corporate sustainability strategies. Previous research has explored the role of consulting firms in shaping sustainability practices, but there has been a lack of investigation into how these firms implement their sustainability strategies. This study ai
Tidigare forskning belyser hur viktiga säljarna har blivit för den fysiska butiken när retailbranschen står i en omställning. Samtidigt lyfts befattningsosäkerhet som något som har inverkan på säljarnas motivation inför arbetet och i sin tur även deras prestationer. Ett forskningsgap identifierades då nuvarande forskning av befattningsosäkerhet i stor utsträckning utgjordes av kvantitativa enkäter
This paper examines the relationship between inflation, inequality, and political power. The author argues that the redistributive effect of the inflation tax is a product of four channels: real wages, the balance sheet, debt and fiscal policy. The role of elite bias in politics, and its effect on inflation combating measures is also investigated. One interesting finding is that inflation had a re
Title: The Carbon Impact of Component Production in China: Investigating the Impact of Carbon Border Adjustment Policies for a Global Manufacturing Company Authors: Fabian Bergman & Spiros Pavlidis Supervisor: Eva Berg, Lecturer at Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lund University Examiner: Louise Bildsten, Associate Lecturer at Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Enginee
Byggindustrin står inför nya utmaningar i form av skärpta krav när det gäller dess klimatpåverkan. En betydande faktor för byggindustrins klimatpåverkan är den cement som används i betong, eftersom det i samband med tillverkning av cement frigörs stora mängder koldioxid. Platta på mark är en vanlig typ av grundläggning i byggnader i mindre skala, såsom småhus. En typisk småhusplatta av betong ha
In this thesis, entropy conservative and entropy stable finite volume methods for one-dimensional scalar conservation laws are studied. The need for weak solutions is shown and entropy is explored to obtain uniqueness. Using discrete analogues of properties of entropy solutions, entropy stable finite volume methods are constructed and implemented to solve a number of scalar conservation laws, in p
Escherichia coli (E. coli) can cause disease in both humans and animals. For poultry, avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) is a common problem. Even birds living in apparently healthy flocks die from infections caused by E. coli. To help increase the health of poultry a new aerosol vaccine formulation based on outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from E. coli was evaluated using ELISA to compare the amount o
As carbon dioxide emissions increase along with the global average temperature, sustainable development is becoming more and more important in all sectors, and it is essential to act toward the reduction of emissions to counteract these dire consequences. Companies are expected to operate sustainably and responsibly with a minimized negative environmental impact alongside accelerating their digita
The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionise numerous sectors, and the banking industry is no different. This study investigates the rationales, challenges, and lessons learned from AI incorporation within Sweden's banking system. The research's objective is to elucidate the AI integration process and offer valuable guidance to organisations considering a similar te
Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (Ehec) and Salmonella can infect humans via food and at worst ocation cause serious illness. Infections caused by Ehec and Salmonella in vegetables are increasingly receiving attention. The ability and jurisdiction that exist within Swedish supervisory and authority work to respond to changes or new situations linked to infections from vegetables, influence Swedens
This paper uses the Spanish Christmas Lottery to provide new evidence about the relationship between wealth and health for adults and infants. Using a difference-in-difference design across provinces and time, I explore how overall health status, hospitalization rates, neonatal health, and alcohol consumption are affected by lottery outcomes. For adults, my results suggest no immediate effect on t
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to test how Nordic acquirers perform post M&A deals and to what extent the Method of Payment affects this performance. An additional analysis is also conducted where the above is tested, conditional on the financial constraints of the acquirer. Methodology: To obtain the long-term performance (BHAR) of Nordic acquirers, an event study has been conducted.
This paper aims to better understand how contraceptive uptake is influenced by both individual and environmental factors, specifically in sub-Saharan Africa, by comparing Uganda and Kenya as examples of different policy environments. Implementing a literature review and statistical regression, this paper analyses how various factors (including indicators of gender equality, family planning exposur

Inspired and influenced by the times of chaos, this Master’s degree project investigates how users and manufacturers survive in this disorganized, unstable, and even frightening living status. The result, Chaos, is a furniture collection designed to maximize flexible production and usage.
The purpose of this project is to explore the relationship between people and their home environment. In modern apartments with limited space, the distinct silhouette of individual furniture becomes blurred when they are placed alongside numerous other objects. Sometimes, people unintentionally overlap or layer these items, further blurring their boundaries. Inspired by this observation, I
In this work, a series of nickel NCN complexes and ligands have been synthesized with the goal of determining whether they can perform so-called CO2-insertion reactions into Ni-C bonds. So far, only the synthesis of the Ni-Br precursor complexes to the previously mentioned Ni-C complexes have been synthesized. Attempts to synthesize the target complexes have been made and are described herein. Som
