Wetland and biodiversity loss affect both ecosystem function and human wellbeing. However, it is argued that the incremental rate of farmland abandonment provides opportunities for ecological restoration to help reverse this negative trend. This thesis applies ecosystem service framework and psychological ownership theory to analyse a wetland restoration project in a semi-urban town of Jablonné v
Density is often used as a strategy to achieve a sustainable development in contemporary urban planning. A higher concentration in the urban environment of functions and people are argued to be essential to handle the climate change as well as achieving social equity. While a desire for higher density is often formulated in urban development plans by regions or municipalities, there lies a confusi
Stereotypforskning har använt olika metoder för att mäta stereotypinnehåll. En teori som gör det är Stereotype Content Model (SCM) där stereotypinnehåll mäts enligt dimensionerna kompetens och värme (Fiske et al., 2002) eller dess paralleller agens och kommunalitet (Abele et al., 2016). För att få fram sanna mätningar av stereotypinnehåll, och undvika påverkan av social önskvärdhet, ombeds deltagaStereotype research has previously employed different techniques of measuring stereotype content. One such theory is the Stereotype Content Model (SCM) in which content is measured along the dimensions of competence and warmth (Fiske et al., 2002) or the parallels agency and communion (Abele et al., 2016). To capture these dimensions accurately, without norms of what is socially acceptable affecti
The aim of this master thesis was to analyse the possibility to use fibre optic cables for critical safety features in high reliability facilities. In more detail, this report investigates how transferred data in fibre optic cables are affected by fire and if there is any risk that the data becomes corrupted or lost when exposed to fire conditions. This report also investigates if this risk can be

Every year, a big number of Swedish municipalities market themselves through an Emigration fair in Holland, with the aim to attract Dutch workforce, or more generally, bring new inhabitants to their respective region. In the marketing campaigns, specific stereotypic images of Sweden emerge, that are said to be specifically attractive to the putative Dutch migrants. The municipal representation in
A translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 produces the fusion gene BCR-ABL that leads to the constitutive activity of a tyrosine kinase. This initiates the uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid cells causing Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML). The disorder is treated by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that prevent the progression of CML into more advanced phases. The treatment must be sustained
After being subjugated under the authoritarian regime of Ben Ali for 23 years, the citizens of Tunisia took to the streets in 2010 and demanded a change. The uprising then evolved into a democratization process, but even though one of the main reasons for the uprising was the oppressing and corrupt security sector, the attempts of security sector reform (SSR) have been unsuccessful in “democratizi
Under de senaste åren har en debatt rörande ökade kostnader för veterinärvård eskalerat. Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda konsumenters rättigheter vid fastställandet av priset för veterinärmedicinska behandlingar. Den primära lagen beträffande avtal om tjänster är Konsumenttjänstlagen (1985:716) (KtjL). Behandling av levande djur är emellertid undantaget från lagens tillämpningsområde.

This thesis explores the European Commission’s proposal on General Reverse Charge Mechanism. VAT is a final tax on consumption. It is imposed on every transaction in the supply chain with the general aim of being deductible and thus being neutral for businesses with the right to deduct.

In addition to this material I also use two focus group interviews, which I’ve conducted on
Denna studie syftar till att öka kunskapen om hur organisationer kan använda em-ployer branding i sin kommunikation för att attrahera ny talang. Tidigare forskning kring extern employer branding är huvudsakligen fokuserad på arbetskraft som redan är etablerad på arbetsmarknaden, och dessutom finns mycket få studier i en svensk kontext. För att bidra till ökad kunskap i strategisk kommunikation ochThis study aims to increase the knowledge of how organizations can use employer branding communication to attract new talent.

Over the past decade, the transition to a circular economy has gained attention as a necessary step towards sustainable development. In contrast to the linear economy that is rooted in a ‘take-make-dispose’ mentality, the circular economy aims to decouple economic growth from unsustainable use of non-renewable resources by closing the material loops in the economy. While the EU recognizes that na

The Irish dairy industry has seen significant growth in recent times. It is also seen as one of key drivers in the Irish government’s plans to grow food and drink exports. However, there is an environmental cost to this. The niche dairy industry has been stagnant for years. This project looks at the potential for the niche dairy industry to grow and resulting in higher economic impact but lower en
