Forskare har länge ifrågasatt informationens makt att förändra människors beteenden till att bli mer hållbara. De menar att det finns ett uttalat gap mellan kunskap och handling när det kommer till miljövänliga aktiviteter, exempelvis att välja miljöcertifierade livsmedel framför konventionella varor. Detta på grund av att det finns barriärer som ofta hindrar konsumenter från att välja det hållbar

This paper presents a case study from the Gambella region of Ethiopia, where large-scale land concessions shape the resource system and necessitate adoption of new institutions. Private investors are free from water charges, and have the right to take over already built irrigation structures such as dams or main canals. The Alwero river in Gambella, located in the Baro-Akobo river basin, is one of

Införande av en klimatskatt på nötkött i Sveriges påverkan på förekomsten av kolorektalcancer Man har i flertalet studier påvisat att konsumtion av rött kött och processat kött (däribland nötkött) skulle kunna ha en negativ inverkan på människors hälsa. Framförallt visar studier på kopplingar mellan konsumtion av rött och processat och en ökad risk för kolorektalcancer. Vidare visar studier att pConsumption of red and processed meat has been found to effect human health and especially the occurrence of colorectal cancer. At the same time cattle farming and production of beef have been shown to severely effect the environment and particularly the climate. Taxation of beef could be an instrument to decrease the greenhouse gas emissions from the production of beef, but due to high transition

För att förstå vårt ursprung och vår plats i universum, måste vi först lära oss om vår historia. Detta är en utmaning i många fält inom vetenskapen, och det finns ett antal olika tillvägagångssätt; geologer analyserar sedimentlager för att få förstå vår planets utveckling, biologer tittar på små skillnader i flora och fauna för att förstå utvecklingen av arter, och paleontologer undersöker fossil What effect does a collision between two clusters have on their dissolving time? In order to answer this question, a new type of N-body simulation using a double integration of a cluster was built. Instead of introducing a perturbation representing the gravitational force of the Milky Way into a local simulation of the cluster, the cluster orbit was integrated in the potential of the Milky Way,
