Events, such as increased risks of drought and flooding, that scientist have associated with climate change can have serious impacts on the physical environment, society, and the economy. In the past companies, despite their significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions were largely excluded in the search for solutions. However, increasing awareness among politicians and civil society has r

This thesis provides an account of the storage strategies for mitigation of excess electricity production (EEP) from wind energy in the Öresund region of Denmark and southern Sweden, characterized by an increasing share of wind power. Hydrogen is a versatile storage technology with potential in both large and small scale options, and for utilization in several application areas. TIS framework and

Popular science summary: Non-invasive genetic monitoring of large carnivores Proper conservation planning of endangered wildlife populations is closely tied to availability of scientifically-sound abundance and distribution data. However, inquiring high quality data for rare or elusive carnivore species inhabiting remote habitats is extremely challenging. Non-invasive collection of DNA sources (

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka deltagarnas upplevelser kring hur det är att vara partner till, och ha barn med, en person som drabbats av cancer. Fokus har varit hur partnerns sjukdom har påverkat deltagaren och dess familjesituation, samt deras erfarenheter av stöd i situationen. I studien ingår fem deltagare, två män och tre kvinnor, som har intervjuats med halvstrukturerade in

Abstract This paper studies the encounter of the Roma culture with Swedish culture during the period 1950 to 1975. I understand this encounter as a period in which the Swedish authorities tried to integrate the Roma culture by means of the homogenization of cultural values. During the studied period of time, the confronted values were those of a Roma culture with traditional defensive attitude ma

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Naturbetesmarker samt ängs- och hagmarker fungerar som boplats och födokälla för vilda pollinerande insekter, men intensifiering av modernt jordbruk och markanvändning har gjort att dessa typer av gräsmarker minskar drastiskt. Vilka effekter detta får för pollinering i de kringliggande markerna genom ökad fragmentering, och därmed ökande isolering från dylika grAbstract Semi-natural grasslands, which act as nesting and foraging habitats for wild pollinating insects, have declined tremendously due to both agricultural intensification and land abandonment. The effects this has on plant pollination in the surrounding landscapes, through increasing fragmentation and isolation from natural habitats, is relatively well known for cultivated crops but much less

The response of concrete structures subjected to blast load can be studied numerically using commercial finite element programs. The complexity of reinforced concrete makes modeling and simulation of large structures time and computer power consuming. Consequently, The Swedish Defense Research Agency, FOI, has an interest in finding a fast and numerically efficient model to study this response to

This essay attempts to analyze possible social perspectives on modern day “snakeheads“ (shetou 蛇头, facilitators of irregular migration) in China’s emigration-intense regions. The essay argues that even though “snakeheads” are criminals there is a huge variety of perspectives on how “snakeheads“ are perceived by society - reaching from condemned and hated to celebrated and admired - and tries to fi

The aim of this thesis is to give a statistical description of a neu- tron traversing a neutron detector system consisting of a polycrys- talline support material. The material used as support material in this project is aluminium although the results are applicable to any polycrystalline material. A mathematical description of the possible interactions in the detector system will be given, from w

This diploma work is made for the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lunds University and for the HVAC consultant company Helenius ingenjörsbyrå. The objectives were to find ways of determining what size of ventilation systems that are required for biological research and ways of lowering energy consumption focused on ventilation in laboratories, without lowering the safety for workers and environme

Are we as a society (global, national or local) incomplete if we do not adhere to the substantial truths to be gained by alignment with the western democratic notion of the rule of law? Is the notion of the rule designed with the built in paradox that the rule of law will itself become the basis for future designs of society, defining where we are, where we want to be and even in time, possibly (r

This thesis examines the reparation regime of the International Criminal Court and The Lubanga Case will be examined and analyzed. This thesis will moreover address the question whether the reparations regime is in some ways an underdeveloped concept and an attempt will be made to demonstrate that it is not, but in fact it rather provides a comprehensive system of procedure regarding reparations.

How can a small fire at a subcontractor in the USA lead to a multimillion dollar loss at a Swedish telephone company, and how can a single machine breakdown lead to a complete production stop at a production company? With today logistics and production trends, where terms such as Lean Production, Six Sigma, 5S, and World Class Manufacturing are used every day, production companies are introducing

Personlig lämplighet skulle kunna beskrivas som alla anställningsadekvata kvalifikationer som inte kan relateras till utbildning eller yrkes- och arbetslivserfarenhet. Detta i sin tur medför ett ytterst omfattande innehåll som dessutom är unikt, om inte för varje unikt arbete så åtminstone för i stort sett varje yrkesgrupp. I anställningssituationer kan en arbetsgivare hänvisa till en arbetssökanPersonal suitability can be described as all adequate qualifications for an employment that are not related to education or professional experience. That interpretation of personal suitability as a concept results in an extremely comprehensive content that is also unique for virtually every profession. When recruiting, an employer can refer to a job applicant's lack of personal suitability as

Utgångspunkten för denna uppsats är att det i det svenska samhället råder en stark norm kring tvåsamhet som grund för familjebildning, vilket blir tydligt redan i första kapitlet i ÄktB i vilket det framgår vilka som har rätt att gifta sig - de som befinner i sig i en parrelation. Polygami i form av månggifte är emellertid olagligt. I uppsatsen studeras hur tvåsamheten legitimeras och vad som uttrThis thesis is based on the assumption that Swedish society has a strong norm surrounding twosome togetherness as the basis for family construction. This is already evident in the first chapter of the Swedish Marriage Code, which refers to those eligible to marry as two persons in a relationship. Polygamy, however, is illegal. The thesis examines the legal concept of twoness; what is said about it

With a growing human population on Earth, the demand of food increases rapidly. Today the meat industry is responsible for 10-12% of the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted by humans. During 2010, USA and Europe consumed approximately 40% of the world’s total beef production. This by only holding 17% of Earth population. With a high meat consumption over a small population it’s possible to af

I syfte att skydda medborgare från övergrepp begångna av staten har ett antal europeiska länder undertecknat Europakonventionen. De fri- och rättigheter som Europakonventionen består av är allmänt formulerade och för deras efterlevnad ansvar både de länder som undertecknat konventionen och den Europeiska domstolen. Europakonventionens rättsliga status i Sverige var till en början osäker. SvenskaIn order to protect citizens from abuse commited by the state several European countries signed the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) in the aftermath of World War II. The rights and freedoms which the Convention consisted of was generally formulated. Both signatory countries and the European Court of Human Rights was responsible for its enforcement. Although Sweden was one of the origin

Uppsatsen syftar framförallt till att klarlägga huruvida den svenska skollagen står i strid med föräldrars rätt, enligt art. 2 TP 1 EKMR, att få sina religiösa övertygelser respekterade vid val av skolgång för sina barn. Den så kallade föräldrarätten. EKMR gäller som lag i Sverige och regeringsformen föreskriver att ingen annan lag får stiftas som strider emot denna. När den nya skollagen träddeThis paper aims primarily at clarifying if the Swedish Education Act conflicts with the parental right in article 2 protocol number 1 ECHR – that is, the right of parents to have their religious beliefs respected while choosing education for their children. ECHR has the status of law in Sweden. Further the constitution states that no other law may be passed if it conflicts with the ECHR. When th
