In light of remaining high levels of deforestation, the importance of effective collaboration with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities increasingly receives international attention. This qualitative case study aims to understand how the foundation for a just collaboration can look like by taking the example of one of the most widely discussed financing mechanisms, REDD+. Focusing on the Talam

Syftet med studien är att skapa en djupare och nyanserad förståelse över hur lyxiga varumärken med hållbarhetsprofil arbetar för att främja “slow fashion” och hållbar konsumtion i butik och “online”. Det teoretiska ramverket utgår från teorier om “slow fashion”, kommunikation, atmosfär och certifieringar/skyltar. “Slow fashion” har valts ut då det blivit allt mer trendigt att producera en tidlös s

I vårt samhälle används idag tekniker för att kunna göra flera vardagliga funktioner. Det finns dock risker med detta då det kan ge tillgång till mycket känslig information. ID-kapning är en risk som innebär att din identitet används av obehöriga på ett olagligt sätt och detta kan ske via social engineering attacker. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka svenska internetanvändarna medvetenhet till I

Inside the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care (SNBIC) are juveniles who are receiving treatment from pedagogues and assistants that are frequently threatening their caregivers. The threats consist of physical and verbal behavior. This type of working environment can be very bad for one's well being. The study focuses on investigating how the staff's well-being is affected by work

Coloniality persistently prevails in the many aspects of today’s societies, including identity constructions. However, the role of the Nordic region in colonialism and its continuous consequences has been severely downplayed, if not ignored, not least in connection to Finland. Thus, this research explores the visibilities of coloniality in social identity constructions in the context of Finland. A

It is a common experience among children to witness domestic violence, but how much does it affect the child later on in life? The purpose of this paper is to present what happens to the child mentally and physically when domestic violence against women results in the death of a mother and the imprisonment of a father. The paper also presents ways to minimize the impact the event has on the child.

Teachers are among the professions with the highest stress related disorders, leading many teachers to leave the field. Therefore, it is of great importance to understand teachers’ intention to leave. This was done using the Job Demands-Resources model (JD-R model) investigating the combined impact of Job Demands and Resources on teachers’ Intention to Leave the field. The aim of this study was to

Idag behandlas nästan hälften av alla cancerpatienter i Sverige med någon form av strålbehan- dling, som komplement till annan behandling eller som självständig terapi. Strålningen är opti- merad för att koncentrera effekten på tumörområdet och minimera biverkningar på intilliggande organ och vävnad. Dagens strålbehandling utnyttjar flera strålslag som tillför olika behandlings- former och valbarhPurpose/Background Proton beam scanning (PBS) for mediastinal Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL) is limited when treating in free-breathing (FB) due to breathing motion in the thoracic region. Tumour motion and the time structure of the beam delivery will cause interplay and dose blurring effects, resulting in discrepancies of dose in the planned dose distribution both inside and at the edges of tumour v

Leukemi kallas ibland blodcancer för att det drabbar de vita blodkropparna. I själva verket uppstår cancersjukdomen i de blodbildande organen, främst benmärgen och mjälten. Cellgiftsbehandling är den främsta behandlingstekniken men för patienter med hög risk för sjukdomsåterfall kan stamcellstransplantation vara aktuellt som del i behandlingen som ges i kombination med strålbehandling. StrålbehandBackground: Total marrow irradiation (TMI) with helical tomotherapy treatment (HT-TMI) can be used as conditioning regimen for leukemia patients prior to stem cell transplantation by radiating the skeletal tissue. To ensure adequate dose coverage a margin is applied to the clinical target volume (CTV), i.e. planning target volume (PTV) margin. By applying as small margin as possible the dose to or

Background: One of the polymer gel dosimeters available today is the N-isopropylamide (NIPAM) polymer gel dosimeter which has a less toxic monomer compared to other polymer gels and the advantage of being able to be manufactured under normal oxygen levels. Polymer gel dosimeters in general are advantageous independent dosimeters to use for verification of new radiation treatment techniques due to

Introduction: The novel external beam therapy technique using ultra-high dose rates known as FLASH has become known for its normal tissue sparing effect. Currently in Lund, veterinary clinical trials are carried out on canine patients using electrons with ultra- high dose rates. By implementing a treatment planning system for FLASH-irradiation, the dose distribution can be visualized and the gantr

Strålning inom vården används till allt ifrån bedöma benbrott till att behandla cancer. Cancerbehandling med högenergetiskt ljus är den allra vanligaste typen av strålbehandling och brukar benämnas konventionell strålbehandling. Däremot har terapi med protoner blivit allt vanligare runt om i världen. Vid konventionell strålbehandling går energistrålen in i kroppen, genom tumören och ut på andra siPurpose/Background: Utilizing proton therapy (PT) for treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) has demonstrated favorable features, particularly a reduced dose to organs at risk (OAR) in comparison with photon radiotherapy. However, there is a coherent complexity with PT including its uncertainties, such as range-uncertainties and set-up variations as protons are highly sensitive to tissue density var

Avancerade 3D skrivare är en etablerad teknologi och används inom många olika områden. Nu finns det möjligheter att 3D printa hus, proteser och även viss mat kan 3D printas. Detta visar att denna typ av 3D teknologi har en oerhörd bredd och potential. På senare tid har enklare 3D skrivare utvecklats för kommersiellt bruk. Detta har gjort att teknologin blivit mer lättillgänglig för allmänheten ochIntroduction: Today, 3D printing is a versatile tool used in a wide range of fields. With the advent of more cost-effective fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing technologies it is time to investi- gate what such a 3D printer has to offer in radiation science applications. This master thesis will inves- tigate if there is a possibility to use a FDM 3D printer to construct an optically stimu

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the exposure of the coastal population of Kalimantan, Indonesia changed as a result of coastal mangrove loss and population growth. The change of exposure has therefore been calculated through the loss of mangrove biomass, through deforestation and degradation, over time, as well the increase in population living within 10km2 of disturbed mangroves. TheMangrove ecosystems have the potential to provide a host of ecosystem services to the communities surrounding them. Dense, healthy, networks of mangroves are able to provide a buffer to coastlines against the increasingly frequent and intense storms, expected under the influence of climate change. Additionally, healthy, mangrove ecosystem provide coastal communities with other benefits such as mor

This study aims to investigate how health care social workers experience their license relative to the professionalization of the occupation. Seven qualitative semi-structured interviews were performed with licensed hospital social workers. The framework in this study consists of theory about profession through a set of concepts that constitute criteria for an occupation to be considered a profess

The Svalbard Seed Vault serves as a backup against accidental loss of genetic crop diversity within the existing global conservation system. Addressing this objective, this thesis repeats the 2013 assessment of the Seed Vault’s completeness relative to the global conservation system as performed by Westengen et al (2013, 1). It is shown that gaps have continued to exist in Svalbard’s collection. S
