In an effort to mitigate global climate change, the REDD+ mechanism (an acronym for ‘Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stock’) continues to be put forward as an attractive carbon sequestration and forest conservation tool. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), hosting m
The Lisbon Treaty has made Policy Coherence for Development a legal obligation for the EU, thus the Union’s has a clear institutionalised commitment to makes sure that non-aid policies are not undermining the objectives in the development policy. EU’s energy policy with the 10% target of biofuels in the transport sector have been a point of great debate. Biofuels have been contested both within th
Ett av de senaste tillskotten på det amerikanska Civil Rights-området står att finna i den federala anti-diskrimineringslagstiftningen beträffande rättigheter för personer med funktionshinder, the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990). Denna lag förbjuder diskriminering av personer med funktionshinder och innehåller bestämmelser om tillgänglighet för dessa personer på områdena arbete (title I), o

With population that exceeds 90 million inhabitants, Egypt is one of the large Arab developing countries where the government policies headed towards constructing new urban communities to absorb the vast increase in population. Although the physical planning of the new urban settlements took into consideration the existence of outdoor recreational services and facilities, the quality and adequacy
Massmarknadsföringens framfart har gjort konsumenter mer resistenta mot stormen av information och budskap. För att nå den enskilde konsumenten direkt och med träffsäkerhet har många företag insett värdet av informationen. Den privata informationen som samlas in av företag används för att rikta marknadsföringen och på så sätt nå fram genom mediebruset med ett personligt och träffsäkert budskap. Fe
Title: Configuring the storage and return flow processes of reusable packaging for battery cells: A design science study of a global battery cell manufacturer Author: Linnea Sjöberg Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Division of Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University. Problem Description: As reusable packaging is becoming increasingly popular, the already existing warehouses need t
The success of energy transitions in India depends on the feasibility of rapid expansion of solar power. How fast solar power can be expanded depends on its profitability, which has not been systematically analysed in prior literature. This paper answers three questions – (i) What is the profitability of utility scale solar power in six selected states in India (Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra,
Food is a fundamental human need – a physical requirement for survival. At the current historical juncture, the global food system is entangled in a web of neoliberal capitalist exchange relations and suffers from heavy dependence on fossil energy inputs. Today’s agro-industrial complex, which has evolved jointly with fossil capitalism and is organized according to its principles, is firmly entren
The search for doubly charged Higgs bosons (H±±) aims at resolving the mass generation mechanism of neutrinos in the Standard Model. The current search by the ATLAS Same-Sign Dilepton group uses the decay product of H±± to a pair of same-sign hadronic τ-leptons, which is an extension of their previous search using same-sign dielectrons and dimuons. This thesis focuses on the study of one of the ba
The new legal framework for marine biodiversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ) will be formally developed under the United Nations due to demands to fill a legal gap addressing BBNJ loss and justly sharing benefits from BBNJ. Since there is no global legal framework for BBNJ even though related agreements exist (i.e., United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and Convention on
I ljuset av samtida fynd inom evidensbaserad rekrytering och en uppdaterad polisprofil har Plikt- och prövningsverket reviderat urvalsprocessen till polisutbildningen. Till följd av revideringen är det okänt hur olika delar av urvalsprocessen bidrar till den samlade bedömningen av kandidaters lämplighet. Urvalsprocessen består av fem urvalsmetoder, administrerade i sekventiella steg: kognitiv förmIn light of contemporary findings in evidence-based selection and an updated police profile, the Swedish Defence Conscription and Assessment Agency (SDCAA) have made adjustments to the selection process for police training. Following the adjustments, it is yet to be evaluated how different parts of the selection process contribute to the overall assessment of candidate suitability. The selection p
This thesis examines the advocacy strategies employed by civil society organisations (CSOs) in Cambodia, focusing on land rights and women’s rights within the constraints of a shrinking civic space. The study aims to understand how CSOs mobilise resources and adapt their strategies to address human rights issues in an authoritarian context. Using postcolonial theory, resource mobilisation theory,
This qualitative research explores the measures of civil society organisations (CSOs) in the labour market integration of female refugees. For this, expert interviews with five 'best practice' CSOs in Germany were conducted to highlight the measures the initiatives take in light of the obstacles they face in their work. The results show that both tangible and intangible measures are taken,
This study investigates the ethical and legal implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Swedish music industry, emphasizing the issues it presents to copyright law. As AI technologies progressively enable the automated generation of musical content, enduring legal principles such as authorship, ownership, and ethical rights are being questioned in ways that conventional copyright framewo
As decarbonization pressures increase for energy-intensive processing industries, understanding demand side readiness is essential in order to scale up breakthrough technologies. This thesis investigates the willingness to pay (WTP) for green steel in the North American automotive industry, with a focus on steel produced by the H2-DRI-EAF route, where hydrogen is produced from renewable electricit
When discussing urban planning and design, the focus often shifts toward large, overcrowded cities that require continuous improvements to remain competitive on the global economic map. However, smaller cities, while not classified as major metropolises, also play a significant role in urban development. These cities accommodate thousands of residents and have maintained their stability over the y
Employing a political ecology framework, this thesis explores Esrange Space Centre in the Swedish High North as a case for broader sociopolitical dynamics in which space infrastructure is increasingly intertwined with green transition and securitisation discourses. Through a Critical Discourse Analysis of three documents, informed by the concepts of capitalist catastrophism and sociotechnical imag
BACKGROUND: Previously considered rare, penicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (PSSA) bacteraemia has re-emerged worldwide. Although benzylpenicillin might offer advantages in terms of pharmacokinetic and adverse effect profiles, anti-staphylococcal penicillins are recommended for serious infections because of concern over undetected penicillin resistance. We aimed to compare benzylpenicilli
