Människor är beroende av ekosystemtjänster för vår existens och vårt uppehälle. Vad är då ekosystemtjänster? Jo, det är allt det naturen ger som skapar förutsättningar för, stödjer eller förbättrar i våra liv.

The white gaze conceptualizes the way in which beauty is dwelled on within society: the foisting of Caucasian-looking beauty canons on black women, and the veneration of whiteness as superior. Black bodies are vanguards, either being desired or erased. In literature, the expression “white gaz

Föroreningar i akvatiska ekosystem

Att bevara den biologiska mångfalden och därigenom stödja våra ekosystem som tillgodogör oss med livsviktiga ekosystemtjänster är av största vikt.

Vem råder över vattnet? - En utredning av hur den vattenrättsliga rådigheten kan säkras med fastighetsrättsliga åtgärder

Sverige är ett land rikt på vattenkraft, både från inlandssjöar men även från våra många vattendrag. Det har därför sedan länge varit en naturlig del av vår nationella kraftförsörjning, och innan elektriciteten var det ett av våra bästa verktyg när det kom till tunga arbetsuppgifter som att driva benstampar eller mala säd till mjöl. Våra vattendrag är därför fulla av gamla vattenkvarnar och dammarThis thesis investigates the complex challenges arising from the recent reviews of permits for dams in Sweden, focusing on the crucial aspect of water resource disposition and its implications for property rights.

Modellering av vindkraftverksfundament - En jämförelse av fackverksanalogi och finita elementmetoden

Sverige har som mål att öka produktionen av förnybar och fossilfri el. Den billigaste fossilfria energikällan är vindkraft och därav investeras det mer i vindkraft än tidigare. Storleken på vindkraftverken har ökat de senaste åren vilket höjt kraven på fundamenten. I denna studie analyserades ett cylinderformat bergförankrat vindkraftverksfundament. Fundamentet består av tre väsentliga komponenter
