Environmental damage during armed conflicts can create significant risks to the civilian population. It is associated with acute and long-term threats to public health and livelihoods, limited access to such resources as water. On top of direct impact (e.g. physical destruction), secondary impact (e.g. resulting from coping strategies of populations), armed conflicts also weaken environmental gove
Denna uppsats grundar sig på en översättning av tre noveller ur den spanska författaren Lucas Ruiz’ novellsamling El esquiador de fondo (2014). Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera översättningen och bruket av tempus i källtexten. Först i uppsatsen görs en analys av källtexten med hjälp av Hellspong & Ledin (1997). Utmärkande drag för texterna tas upp, bland annat det poetiska språket, meningsbyg
Validation and improvement of chemical kinetic modelling require accurate experimental data. The over goal of the present work is to obtain accurate data by using techniques that have been previously implemented in common flames, e.g. of methane, and showed good performance to provide high-value input for model validation of dimethyl ether (DME) combustion. Measurements of laminar burning velocity
The retail industry is in an ongoing transformation with new customer behaviors. In an omni-channel environment, multiple channels are integrated and the customer has a more central role within retail. Customers in an omnichannel environment are in general well-informed, digitally mature and have high demands towards the retailers they interact with. Traditionally, retailers could differentiate th
Studien syftade till att undersöka psykoanalys betraktat som emotionellt arbete i enlighet med Hochschild (1983). Inom såväl psykologin som sociologin har förekomsten och effekterna av emotionellt arbete för många yrkesgrupper studerats. Mycket lite har publicerats om emotionellt arbete i psykoterapi. Semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med sex psykoanalytiker. Det empiriska materThis study aimed at investigating psychoanalysis regarded as emotional labor following Hochschild (1983). The prevalence and effects of emotional labor has been studied in sociology as well as psychology in relation to many occupations. Not much has been published concerning emotional labor in psychotherapy. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with six psychoanalysts. The empiric
The Crime Victim Compensation and Support Authority follows and implements the Criminal Injuries Compensation Act with the purpose to offer support and help to individuals whom have suffered from crimes. However, the question regarding victim compensation and its purpose have been discussed frequently by the Swedish government as well as researchers who primarily discussed how to decide the correc
Syftet med denna studie är att klargöra vad som försvårar svensklärares bedömning av multimodala texter eftersom bristfällig bedömning hämmar elevernas möjligheter att utveckla sin digitala kompetens och exkluderar elevernas textvärldar. För att undersöka lärarnas bedömningssvårigheter intervjuade vi sex svensklärare på gymnasienivå angående deras bedömningsstrategier. Intervjun avhandlade multiThe purpose of this study is to elucidate what it is that obstructs Swedishteachers assessment of multimodal texts since inadequate assessments hinders students from developing their digital competence and excludes students’ textworlds. In order to find these assessment obstructions we interviewed six upper-secondary Swedishteachers about their assessment strategies in regards to multimodal text
Förstärkt uppvärmning på Arktis kan ha global påverkan Smältande isblock, förhöjda havsnivåer och ett utsatt djurliv. Vi exponeras dagligen för information om vad som pågår på jordens nordligaste delar. Men vilka förändringar är det egentligen som sker på Arktis, och hur kommer de påverka oss? Global uppvärmning är ett välkänt begrepp som indikerar stigande temperaturer världen över. Men vad månThe Arctic is warming at a rate two to three times that of the global average. Although only covering a small area of the globe, it is a vital component of the climate system. Through climatic feedback effects the warming is enhanced, and risks leading to further climate change. Simulations of future Arctic change indicate that the region will warm 3-4°C above end of 20th century levels by 2050. C
Numerous studies have discussed the importance of multilevel governance for enhancing climate action at the urban level. However, there remains limited knowledge on the proliferation of multilevel climate governance in the Global South. Addressing this gap, this study aims to explore the implementation of multilevel climate governance at the urban level through a case study analysis of three India
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is twofold. With a stakeholder perspective, the paper has the ambition of understanding why firms decide to invest in ethics. In this sense, we look at such investments both through the lens of mitigating downside risks as well as the lens of creating competitive advantage and shared value. In the light of ethical investments, the paper also has the purpose of e
Purpose – While e-commerce marketplaces have changed the way SMEs operate across borders, literature connecting digital platforms with the internationalisation of firms is scarce. Although the Uppsala Model and the Born Global concept acknowledge the influence of digital technologies, they do not capture the phenomenon of e-commerce marketplaces as a new mode of entry. In light of the new opportun
Various recyclability by design (RBD) guidelines for multilayer plastic flexible packaging (MPFP) were assessed for consistency among parameter values. 9% consistency was observed, which is on the lower end of devised consistency scale. Poly-ethylene and poly-propylene are the two major emerging recycling streams in Danone Nutricia’s six key EU market countries. However, a need for consolidated ce
Aluminum blisters are a widely used packaging type in the pharmaceutical industry, including Elanco Animal Health Inc., a major player in the animal health business. Excellent barrier properties and convenience of usage to the consumers make it an ideal solution. Unfortunately, due to lack of innovation since its invention in the 1960s, there have been certain shortcomings in it use; like lack in

Due to both the effects of climate change and the high concentrations of infrastructure and socio-economic activity in low-lying areas in NYC, floods have the potential to destroy homes and businesses, impair infrastructure, and threaten human safety. Measurement, reporting, and verification are vital steps in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of a climate change adaptation efforts. Howe
Detta magisterarbete består av två delar, där den första delen utgörs av en översättning av Lucas Ruiz’ novell ”El hombre sin memoria” från novellsamlingen El esquiador de fondo (2014), och den andra delen, som presenteras här, är en analys av översättningen. Analysen omfattar en källtextanalys och en fördjupad översättningsanalys. Källtextanalysen visar bland annat att Lucas Ruiz’ litterära språk
Men vad känner egentligen jästen? Vi känner alla till att det är jäst som används för att göra bröd och öl. Men visste du att det är precis samma jäst som används för mat och dryck som används för biobränsle? En ineffektivitet har dock uppenbarat sig i biobränsle-industrin, då jästen inte verkar känna av all näring i sin omgivning. Mitt projekt utgör ett viktigt steg i att lista ut varför jästenThe sugar signaling state of cells oxidizing xylose was investigated through the chromosomal integration of the Weimberg pathway into previously established biosensor strains capable of monitoring the Snf3p/Rgt2p, SNF1/Mig1p, and cAMP/PKA pathways through the expression of HXT1, SUC2, and TPS1, respectively. Ultimately, two new strains were successfully developed containing both the Weimberg pathw
Arktis står inför stora förändringar i samband med rådande klimat- och miljöförändringar, där de arktiska kusterna är utsatta. Förändringar i temperatur, havsnivå, stormar och havsisens utbredning är några av de faktorer som spelar in i hur kusterna och stränderna kan förändras. Syftet med studien är att först översiktligt se vilka kustmorfologiska förändringar som sker i Arktis idag och huruvida The Arctic is facing great changes due to current climate changes, where the Arctic coasts are especially vulnerable. Changes in temperature, mean sea level, storms and sea ice extent are some of the factors that shape how the coasts and beaches can be changed. The purpose of this study is firstly to examine what changes the Arctic coasts are experiencing today and whether they can be correlated t
