Den här uppsatsen undersöker kopplingen mellan resursanvändning och ekonomisk tillväxt. Den ekonomiska tillväxten innebär användning av naturresurser som medför ökade avfallsmängder och negativ påverkan på människor och miljö.

The conclusion is that while peak oil offer the potential of a serious rup

This thesis presents the work I did for the inclusive search for anomalous production of same charge lepton-pairs, originating from the collision point, at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using the 2012 data. I optimized the selection criteria for isolated electrons and muons, calculated the so-called "fake factors" and "fake factor" systematic uncertainties

This essays focus is to unravel the discourses concerning women by doing a historic-comparative qualitative content analysis on Malleus Maleficarum, written in 1486, and modern papal writings in order to compare the similar or different ways in which the ideal woman is understood. The reason for why these materials have been chosen is based on the influential spread these writing had or have, and

The purpose of this paper was to show how politicians choose to use the history and the national discourse to mobilize for their ideological purposes. The Yugoslavia war is a clear example of that history can be used as a dangerous weapon during national and ethnical conflicts. To illuminate this a discourse analysis of nationalism and the ideological use of history will be done on three ex-Yugosl

A political past stained by dictatorship and corruption has also led to inconceivable amounts of environmental destruction.
