The low-carbon benefits and emissions savings from circular economy (CE) strategies are not yet well understood, yet are crucial for global development within Planetary Boundaries. Using the mineral fraction of waste incinerator bottom ash (MIBA) as construction material in road construction is one application of a CE strategy that could lead to environmental gains by substituting energy-intensive
Roots play a key role in terrestrial carbon and water cycles, and therefore for the global climate system. They mediate plant evapotranspiration, influence photosynthetic processes and are responsible for atmospheric carbon transport into the pedosphere. Fine roots, in particular, are chiefly regulating water and nutrient uptake. Recent research has suggested that the representation of fine roots
Brown seaweeds are marine macro algae, which are quite unexplored for their potential uses in food products in Europe. Saccharina latissima and Alaria esculenta are fast growing brown seaweeds species in European countries, mainly found in Norway and cold waters of the North Atlantic. These species are known to be rich sources of iodine, protein, polyphenols, carbohydrates and micronutrients like

This thesis examines the social unfolding of the recent deplatformization of the far-right extremes on Telegram. Leaving prior approaches to moderation behind, this study asks questions around how moderation imprints itself on the complex terrain of meaning and practice, interacts with intensified reflexiveness of the social agents, and leaves affected collectivities changed in unanticipated ways.
Rapid urban growth has brought along various social, economic, and environmental issues, including the expansion of informal settlements – deprived areas lacking proper housing, basic services, and safety. Informal areas, inequalities and exclusion are common features in Nairobi, where more than half of the population is residing in slums. Women are the most vulnerable in this context, struggling
Barnkonventionens artikel 3 och 12 ger uttryck för två centrala principer inom barnrätten, vilka även är fastställda i andra svenska lagar som föräldrabalken och lagen med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga. Principen om barnets bästa innebär att vid samtliga åtgärder som rör barn ska barnets bästa vara avgörande. Vid denna bedömning ska varje barn få chansen att uttrycka sina åsikter, vilka sArticles 3 and 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child state two central principles regarding children’s rights. These are also established in other Swedish laws such as the Parental Code and the Swedish Care of Young Persons Act. Article 3 states that the child’s best interests must be decisive in all measures concerning children. Within this assessment, the children must be given the opp
Föreningsfriheten är en viktig del av den västerländska demokratin. Genom denna frihet har medborgare i föreningar möjlighet att samarbeta för att göra gemensam sak av intressen och låta dessa påverka utvecklingen av samhället på en ideell grund. Statens intresse i föreningslivet är åtminstone tveeggat. Frågan om reglering av ideella föreningar har diskuterats av politiska partier i Sverige sedan Freedom of association is an important part of Western democracy. Through this freedom, citizens in associations can work together to share interests and allow them to influence the development of society on a non-profit basis. The state's interest in associations is at least double-edged. The question of regulating non-profit organisations has been discussed by political parties in Sweden sin
Internet of Things (IoT), det vill säga fysiska objekt med inbyggd elektronik som kan kopplas upp mot internet och styras eller utbyta data över nätet, har idag blivit en självklar del i många personers vardag. Det kan vara allt från hälsoarmband och kylskåp, till glödlampor och termostater. Som förutspås har vi dock ännu inte sett det stora genombrottet för denna teknik och vad den kan komma att The Internet of Things (IoT), i.e. physical objects with embedded electronics that can be connected to the internet and be controlled or exchange data over the network, has become an integral part of many people's daily lives. IoT devices can be anything from fitness trackers and refrigerators to light bulbs and thermostats. However, as is being predicted, we have yet to see the major breakthr

In its proposed 2023 Critical Raw Materials Act, the European Commission considers access to critical raw materials within its territory as key to both the green transition and to reduce import dependencies. This onshoring of extractivist practices warrants a critical analysis that reflects on the justice implications this may have for local communities. Therefore, I apply an integrated post-struc

Vårt fokus ligger på vilka faktorer som skapar en bra praktik samt vilka förutsättningar som främjar lärande
Hemliga tvångsmedel är ett fragmenterat och komplext område inom svensk rätt. Lagstiftningen är utspridd i flera olika lagar med en stor mängd korshänvisningar. Dessutom görs en åtskillnad om hemliga tvångsmedel företas inom ramen för en förundersökning eller i preventivt syfte. Anledningen till att lagstiftningen ser ut som den gör torde vara på grund av den fortgående teknik- och samhällsutvecklSecret coercive measures are a fragmented and complex area within Swedish law. The legislation is spread across several different laws with a large amount of cross-references. In addition, a distinction is made if secret coercive measures are carried out during a preliminary investigation or for preventive purposes. The reason why the legislation looks this way is most probably because the ongoing
