A methodology to achieve sustainability within the food & beverage industry

With the world heading towards a global increase of temperature of more than 1.5°C, societies are trying to limit the dependence on fossil fuel by adopting renewable energy sources in order to limit the emission of greenhouse-gases. This master thesis strove to find a methodology to integrate renewable energy and optimisation measures in the industries of food and beverage to make them more sustai

Från kolonialism till handelsavtal

This essay is a theory-consuming case study, the purpose of which is to investigate how Western norms and colonial power relations have influenced the design of the EU's trade agreement Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). The essay's theoretical framework is based on norm diffusion and postcolonial theory. First, empirical evidence about the theories and the EPA agreement is presented, t

"Den mest splittrande frågan": En queerekumenisk undersökning av Kyrkornas världsråds syn på sexualitet

In the ecumenical global discourse, sexuality is often said to be “the most divisive issue”. Despite this, there have been and still are many ongoing conversations on this matter. One significant example is the document Conversations on the Pilgrim Way: Invitation to Journey Together on Matters of Human Sexuality, which was produced by the World Council of Churches and released in 2022. This mast

Beyond Compliance - Exploring ESG Integration in Nordic Corporations

This thesis explores the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance practices within leading Nordic companies, focusing on Ericsson, Vestas, and Ørsted. Through a qualitative analysis supplemented by quantitative metrics, the research examines how regulatory environments, stakeholder engagements, and innovative practices influence the adoption and implementation of ESG strategies. The re

How Does Board Composition Influence Firms’ Internationalisation: The Moderating Role of Competitive Strategy in US Large Firms

This thesis investigates the relationship between board composition and internationalisation in large U.S. consumer discretionary firms, using the foreign asset ratio as a measure of global engagement. Drawing on resource dependence, agency, contingency, and upper echelons theory, it explores the effects of board size, average age, tenure, and gender diversity and assesses how Porter’s Generic Str

Deep learning model ensemble for remote sensing land use classification

This study investigates deep learning approaches for automated land use classification from high-resolution remote sensing imagery, comparing Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Vision Transformer (ViT) architectures. Eight semantic segmentation models were evaluated on the HRSCD dataset containing 291 aerial image pairs (0.5m resolution) with four land use classes: building, agricultural, fore

Climate Change and Transformed Social Work - Emerging needs in Sri Lanka

This study investigates the intersection of climate change and social work in Sri Lanka. Incorporating theories of social and environmental justice, the focus lies on understanding how climate change exacerbates social injustices and reshapes professional practices. Drawing on qualitative data from seven semi-structured interviews, as well as participant observations in climate-affected communitie

Reversible architecture : Reuse of timber building parts in circular design

The construction industry has a great impact on the environment but there is a great potential for improvements. In the era of climate change, sustainable construction methods and ecological solutions are required to improve energyefficiency, and to decrease the environmental impact of housing development. Circular Economy is considered a feasible solution to global sustainability issues and relat

Position paper : leveraging non-human primate (NHP) specificities to accelerate Parkinson's disease and ageing research

The PD-AGE international task force underscores the pivotal role that non-human primate (NHP) models play in advancing our understanding of Parkinson's disease (PD) and ageing. Due to their close genetic, anatomical, and behavioural similarity to humans, NHPs uniquely enable translational research to bridge basic science towards clinical application. They are indispensable for modelling the comple

Lower Triassic δ13C isotope curve from shallow-marine carbonates in Japan, Panthalassa realm : Confirmation of the Tethys δ13C curve

δ13C data from Tethyan sections provide evidence of profound changes in the carbon cycle during the Lower Triassic. Sections from the Panthalassa realm were investigated to establish whether these variations are also present there. In the Jurassic accretionary wedges in Japan, exotic blocks having a Panthalassan affinity, have been incorporated. The majority of the blocks are pelagic cherts but ra
