Emissions of air pollutants from shipping in Europe result in about 50 000 premature deaths every year. Soot particles, also called black carbon, are particularly hazardous to human health when inhaled. The adverse health effects are especially a danger in coastal areas, but the particles can travel further away with the wind. These soot particles also have an effect on the climate. Fresh soot par
Seagrass meadows are a vital part of the marine ecosystem surrounding the island of Mallorca, but human-induced pressures are degrading the seagrass meadows’ stock of natural capital. Although researchers are working together with policymakers to implement and improve conservation measures, the current legal framework is not sufficient to protect the meadows from further depletion. Therefore, I us
This study is concerned with exploring the causes for four financial crises in Argentina’s history stretching from 1890 to 2002 and with comparing the causes in order to find recurring problems.

Under min tid där skrev jag en rapport som handlade om hur organisationer som beviljats verksamhetsstöd inför 2015 arbetade med jämställdhet. Anledningen till att jag skrev rapporten var att kulturstödsenheten året innan hade instiftat nya mål kring att organisationerna nu var tvungna att beskriva hur de jobbade med jämstDuring the spring of 2015 I had an internship at the department of culture in Malmo. My main task assignment was to write a report on how the organizations that had been given financial support from the department were working with equality issues. My bachelor thesis is a continuing on that report were I further explore how the organizations describe how they work with equality within their own or
Fyra runstenar från 600-talet i Blekinge, Stentoftenstenen, Gummarpstenen och Istabystenen på Listerlandet, och Björketorpstenen vid Johannishusåsen, har med sina inskrifter med den äldre runraden på urnordiska väckt stort intresse. Inskrifternas tre personnamn, HeruwulfR, HariwulfR och HaðuwulfR har förmodats tillhöra en mäktig släkt som från Listerlandet kan ha vidgat sina domäner till mellerstaFour runic, Proto-Nordic inscriptions in the province of Blekinge have long attracted attention because of their similarities and because of the proper, alliterating names occurring in three of them.
