This paper addresses the Environmental Management System (EMS) frameworks among the twenty-five biggest oil companies in the world. An Environmental Management System is a framework which can be used by companies to structurally control and manage their environmental aspects and impacts. Specifically in this study, focus is put on the content and structural set-up of EMS frameworks. The study look
As the world faces great sustainability challenges, climate adaptation and mitigation strategies are being linked to sustainability transitions as a desired approach for many cities, especially in the Nordic countries. This thesis looked at how the City of Malmö in Sweden, as a case study, is currently governing the transition towards climate adaptation and environmental sustainability, with a foc
This study examines (mis)representations of women within hip-life culture through the prism of African feminism and Black feminist thought and provides a thematic analysis of seven themes of misogyny against hip-life culture. In painting the picture of the nature of female representation in hip-life, this study provides an analysis of how these images affect Ghanaian women through accounts from fe
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
In this report you read about my process in my bachelor project. I started out with an investigation into waste management and ended up in a product concept. Since waste management and consumption is a present issue, I decided that this was a field where I could base my bachelors project on. My thought was that this was an area where I would find potential problems where I, as a designer, could a
