Att uppnå en god miljökommunikation inom kommuner Världen står inför såväl framtida som pågående klimatförändringar och vi människor måste arbeta med att minska hur illa det kan bli och anpassa oss för att bättre klara av vad det innebär. Men det kräver att vi, hela mänskligheten, samarbetar och inga samarbete fungerar utan kommunikation. Vi måste prata med varandra om miljön och om vad vi kan Environmental communication is essential for success in the efforts to prevent or adapt to climate change. This is important at all levels but municipalities often seem to fail at this task. Therefore the aim of this study is to find out what good environmental communication means, what factors affects the quality and whether it is the municipalities or the residents that are lacking in commitment

Samordnade varuleveranser Tack vare urbanisering blir våra städer förtätade. Fler ska samsas på mindre ytor samtidigt som behovet av leveranser till städerna ökar. Genom att samordna leveranserna som ska köras in till stadskärnan i en stad kan man undvika den negativa miljöpåverkan som tunga fordon belastar en stad och dess invånare med. Att leverera den sista biten fram till butik är ofta den sDue to the fact that urbanization increases cities are getting denser. With increasing population comes increased demand for goods and services. However, the more transportation of goods within urban areas the more greenhouse gases is emitted and particular matter spread. In addition to this, an increasing amount of heavy vehicles lead to noise pollution and congestion, which could limit a city’s

The self-evident contradictory governance ideology of the Chinese Communist Party leads to urban-born young middle-class Chinese women struggling between seeking one’s own path with the discourse of ‘individualism’ under the neoliberal market economy and conforming to the traditional role in the family of patriarchal culture. This is reflected in the increasing prominent phenomena of getting marri

Syftet med föreliggande studie är att inventera och analysera olika metoder för sortering av grovavfall, för att kartlägga vad som fungerar väl och varför, samt att komma med förslag på nya lösningar. Detta görs genom en inledande litteraturstudie, som sedan kompletteras med en intervjustudie, där flera avfallsaktörer intervjuas om olika insamlingsmetoder för grovavfall. I studien konstateras det The aim of the present study is to inventory and analyse different methods for sorting bulky waste, to identify what works well and why, and to propose new solutions. This is done through an initial literature study, which is then complemented by an interview study, where several waste actors are interviewed about different collection methods for bulky waste. The study concludes that the definitio

The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to push the limits of 3D X-ray imaging by studying the minimum number of projections required to retrieve high-quality reconstructions for additive manufacturing processes. This project first focuses on understanding how X-ray tomography works, by reconstructing additive manufacturing data already obtained (from PSI, TOMCAT beamline) using two standard recon

Skogsbränder hotar bevarandet av skogens ekosystemtjänster såsom ekologiska funktioner för biologisk mångfald, mildring av effekter från klimatförändringar och rekreation såsom skogspromenader och bärplockning. Hur kan vi ingripa för att återhämta och bibehålla sådana funktioner i naturen efter bränder? I den här studien undersöktes potentialen för återhämtningen av skogar utifrån skogsåtgärder efWildfires causes natural disturbances to ecosystems which can have potentially damaging results for ecosystem services and economic income from timber production. The post-fire management approach can be essential for the environmental work regarding the recovery of ecosystems and maintaining ecosystem services. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate different post-fire management approac

Digitaliseringen har ökat konkurrensrättsliga utmaningarna på digitala marknader. Digitala plattformars missbruk av dominerande ställning har gett upphov till nya konkurrensrättsliga problem exempelvis i samband med användning av andra plattformarnas kunddata och jämförelsetjänster. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera och beskriva några av de konkurrensrättsliga utmaningarna i form av missbruk aDigitalisation has increased the competition law challenges in digital markets. The abuse of a dominant position by digital platforms has created new competition law problems, related to for example the usage of other platforms data and comparison services. The purpose of the thesis is to analyze and describe some of the competition law challenges in the form of abuse of a dominant position that i

MIND (2021) flaggar för en växande problematik med psykisk ohälsa. Kultur har positiv inverkan på folkhälsan, vilket visas i en rapport beställd av WHO (Fancourt & Finn, 2019) och Theorell (2009; 2014; 2018) lyfter särskilt musiken och dess positiva inverkan på människor. Ruud (2001) hävdar att kulturen också bör ta ansvar för att stärka folkhälsan. Mot bakgrund av detta undersöker vi som musiMIND (2021) raises a warning flag for the growing problem concerning mental health. The arts has a positive effect on the public health, which is shown in a report ordered by the WHO (Fancourt & Finn, 2019) and Theorell (2009, 2014 och 2018) highlights music and its positive influence on people. Ruud (2001) claims that the arts also should take responsibility in strengthening the public health

Many studies have investigated effects of organic farming on the abundance and diversity of farmland birds, but few have considered how these effects vary between seasons. We analysed the effects of organic farming during an entire year in a previously understudied region, Galicia (North-West Spain), a relatively heterogeneous landscape which is an important wintering and breeding ground for birds

Increasing total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations concurrent with a darkening in water colour in boreal freshwaters is called brownification. This can affect crucial ecosystem services. Our study investigated constructed wetland optimisation regarding depth and water residence time (WRT) during different seasons to remedy dark water colour and high TOC concentrations, while retaining nitrogen r
