In the face of climate change wind energy plays an increasing role in Norway. The construction of new wind farms causes opposition and conflicts with, among others, Sámi reindeer herders who are concerned about losing their pastures. By using Schlosberg’s (2004) environmental justice framework, I explore the justice implications of wind energy with regard to Sámi reindeer husbandry in the case of

Purpose: A stagnant Cuban economy, state owned and operated businesses, as well as a general public desire for change to happen in the country, present themselves as a matter that should be addressed. The opening up of the private economic sector within a communist regime proves as an interesting topic, and allows for an architectural interpretation to be made. Assignment: Given the economic an

Den digitala marknaden har utvecklat egenskaper som nätverkseffekter, vilket har skapat utmaningar för konkurrensbedömningar. Ett av problemen har varit tillämpningen av artikel 102 FEUF gällande missbruk av dominerande ställning. För att kunna bedöma om ett företag har dominerande ställning krävs först definition av den relevanta marknaden. Denna process har ofta varit komplex. EU har utvecklat eThe digital market has developed characteristics such as network effects, which have created challenges for competition law. One of the problems has been the application of Article 102 TFEU regarding the abuse of dominant position. To identify a dominant position, it is required to first have a definition of the relevant market. This process is often complex. EU has introduced a complementary fram

In pursuit of sustainable development within the building industry, there is a shift towards design strategies that are energy efficient and environmentally friendly. The European Commission has a goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050 and the United Nations has also developed Agenda 2030 to aid in the reduction of the environmental impact. The city of Malmö has also developed a local plan for a

I svensk rätt är vållande till annans död kriminaliserat under 3 kap. 7 § brottsbalken. I den juridiska litteraturen har olika metoder utformats för att tolka rekvisitet vållande. En av metoderna, lanserad av professor Nils Jareborg, har särskilt på senare tid vunnit genomslag i den juridiska litteraturen. Läran separerar gärningsculpa, oaktsamhet i gärningen och ett rekvisit för brottsbeskrivningChapter 3 § 7 of the Swedish Penal Code (brottsbalken) criminalizes the causing of another’s death by negligence. Several systems for determining the necessary prerequisite causing has been established in the legal literature. One learning developed by Nils Jareborg has obtained considerable recognition in the Swedish judicial literature. It separates culpa of the deed (gärningsculpa), a prerequi

In recent years, several interesting wearable products which originates from smartphone technology have been introduced on the market. One of these products which has increased in interest, but not yet received a commercial breakthrough, is smart glasses. As the technology is still young and undeveloped, few players have embarked on the market and there is still room for improvement. In this thesi

This paper is part of a broader multilingual research project that addresses the relationships between affective phenomena (as units of personal experience), concepts (as units of cognitive processing) and the lexical items we use in talking about affective experience (as units of verbal communication. The focus will be here on data obtained in six Scandinavian and Romance languages (N=1093) with

Occasional fog is a critical water source utilised by plants and animals in the Namib Desert. Fog basking beetles (Onymacris unguicularis, Tenebrionidae) and Namib dune bushman grass (Stipagrostris sabulicola, Poaceae) collect water directly from the fog. While the beetles position themselves optimally for fog water collection on dune ridges, the grass occurs predominantly at the dune base where l

The woodlands of northern Skåne, south Halland and southwest Småland were an important region for ironproduction from the medieval period until the end of the seventeenth century. Slagheaps found close to brooks and waterfalls indicates that waterpower was used in the local bloomery iron production. This essay deals with questions about the dating of these sites and the kind of tecnique that was u

The Molare Rock shelter (S. Giovanni a Piro, Salerno, Italy) is a key site to carry out high-resolution chronological studies in the broader context of Italian Mousterian peopling dynamics. The stratigraphic sequence is to be referred to MIS 5 and is characterized by the presence of a number of thin anthropic levels (often consisting of largely undisturbed living floors) alternated with sterile la

Crime scene traces of various types are routinely sent to forensic laboratories for analysis, generally with the aim of addressing questions about the source of the trace. The laboratory may choose to analyse the samples in different ways depending on the type and quality of the sample, the importance of the case and the cost and performance of the available analysis methods. Theoretically well-fo

In the age of miniaturization where the physical systems approach the nanoscale limit andwhere more complex materials are created there is necessity for understanding in terms ofquantum mechanics. The understanding then opens and gives possibilities for manipulationand engineering of such systems and thus practical applications.Quantum mechanics states that the electron cannot be characterized as In this thesis we focus on improvements of the description of the electron-electron correlation effects in nonequilibrium nanosystems. We mainly focus on developments of two nonequilibrium methods, namely the formalism of Nonequilibrium Green’s Function and Time Dependent Density Functional Theory and we explore the possibility to improve existing approximations in these theories. A smaller part o

However, there exists great semantic confusion within academic literature surrounding the term “sharing economy,” which threatens the realisation of its purported sustainability potential.

Nitrate pollution of groundwater has increased dramatically worldwide due to increase of population and agricultural productivity. The resulting nitrate concentration in groundwater is usually a combination of various types of point and non-point pollutant sources. It is often difficult to distinguish between these sources since groundwater is formed in large and complex catchments with various na

The flux during membrane filtration can be enhanced by the use of a two-phase gas–liquid flow. This has been shown to be an energy-efficient alternative to increasing the cross-flow velocity. In this work, air sparging was used to increase the flux during ultrafiltration of alkali-extracted wheat bran hemicelluloses. Batch filtration was performed in a pilot unit with a ceramic ultrafiltration mem

The Mobile Cloud Network is an emerging cost and capacity heterogeneous distributed cloud topological paradigm that aims to remedy the application performance constraints imposed by centralised cloud infrastructures. A centralised cloud infrastructure and the adjoining Telecom network will struggle to accommodate the exploding amount of traffic generated by forthcoming highly interactive applicati

Version management is a prerequisite for digital information flow between phases in the planning and building processes. Information evolves over time and many parties retrieve information from the various phases. The aim of this article is to evaluate versioning methods, focusing on geodata buildings in the 3D cadastre process. The main attention in the evaluation is on the comprehensive ISO stan

The famine in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has once again reached a point of emergency wherein the international community has a moral duty to protect the population from their government. Although the member states of the United Nations have affirmed a global Responsibility to Protect, the ways in which that responsibility are carried out are often contradictory and help to sustain t
