This research focuses on the contemporary case study of the Thawra Chronicles, founded by three London-based members of the Lebanese diaspora in the wake of the Lebanese Revolution in early October 2019 to support the social movement from afar, targeting non-Lebanese individuals as well as Lebanese within and beyond its borders. Thawra Chronicles is a multifaceted, independent alternative online o
The number of people suffering from the unpleasant symptoms of allergic rhinitis is increasing due to environmental and other factors. This not only makes life difficult for the individual but also places a heavy burden on society, which is why treatment is needed. Rhinocort® is a nasal spray suspension manufactured by McNeil AB to reduce the severity of symptoms, and like all medicines, must und
Scientific studies indicate that the effects of the ongoing climate crisis negatively affect and sometimes also threaten the built environment, humanity and nature in many ways. Cloudbursts and rising sea levels are two examples of such effects, which result in complex dilemmas and interesting challenges that planners and urban designers face within their field of work. These two effects are notic
Detta examensarbete ämnar att undersöka integration av tre olika teknologier till en havsbaserad vindkraftspark, om det är ekonomiskt gynnsamt samt hur kraftfluktuationerna till elnätet påverkas. Genom att kombinera olika förnybara kraftsystem kan man minska variabiliteten och kostnaderna kopplade till installation och drift av systemen. Även fast investeringar i annan förnybar energi utöver vindkThe high penetration of wind power is increasing the intermittency and power variability into the existing power grid. This is forcing industries to look for optimal configurations in order to improve their systems performance and minimize these effects from the power production method. Studies show that there are different ways of reducing the power variability and therefore stabilize the energy
Vräkning är en av de mest ingripande åtgärder och traumatiserande upplevelser som någon, särskilt ett barn, kan vara med om. Under 2017 vräktes enligt Kronofogdemyndighetens statistik 392 barn och hyresskulder utgör den vanligaste orsaken till att en barnfamilj avhyses. I nästan hälften av fallen sker avhysningen för hyresskulder för belopp under 10 000 kronor. Detta trots att det är mer fördelaktEviction is one of the most traumatic experiences anybody experience – a fact which holds especially true for children. According to the statistics of the Swedish Enforcement Authority 392 children were evicted in Sweden during the year of 2017. Rental debt is the most common cause of the eviction of families, and in almost half of all cases the debt amounts to less than 10 000 SEK. That said, it
Makes arvsrätt infördes i Sverige år 1988 i samband med en större reform på både äktenskapsrättens och arvsrättens område. Den tidigare arvsrättens utformning ansågs vara grundad på en föråldrad syn på både familjen och samhället, och det var dags för en förnyelse. Den efterlevande makens skydd stärktes på de gemensamma bröstarvingarnas bekostnad, men särkullbarnen fick dock behålla sin förtur tilIn 1988, the surviving spouse received the right to inherit before the direct heirs in Sweden. The amendment was part of a larger reformation in the area of inheritance and matrimonial law. The previous formulation of the law was considered to be based on outdated views on society and family, and the time was right for a transformation. The financial security of the spouse was fortified at the exp
Vid dödsfall som har eller kan ha orsakats av yttre påverkan genom skada eller förgiftning har Polismyndigheten i uppgift att konstatera eller utesluta misstanke om brott. För dessa syften utförs en dödsfallsutredning. Dödsfallsutredning är en särskild undersökningsform, vars underlag kan ligga till grund för beslut att inleda förundersökning. Polismyndigheten har vid flera tillfällen fått utstå kIn cases of deaths that have or may have been caused by another person through injury or poisoning, the police authority is obliged to detect or exclude suspicion of crime. To fulfill these purposes, a death investigation is performed. Death investigations are a special form enquiry that may precede a decision to initiate a preliminary investigation. On several occasions, the police authority has
Sweden’s substantial building stock from the million programs is in need of renovations. These residential buildings were built without major attention to energy demand or architectural aesthetics. Until now, property owners have hesitated to carry out energy renovations due to the investment cost. The aim of this master thesis was to propose an energy-efficient renovation procedure whilst takin
As our way of living exploits the resources of the earth and our energy use keeps on increasing, we are now facing a climate crisis never seen before in modern time. To face these consequences and try to ease the harm we need to transform our extraction and use of energy. The use of chemical energy carriers and fuel cells offers the possibility of a completely green solution for energy distributio
Ett av Sveriges hållbarhetsmål är att senast 2045 inte generera några nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser. För att uppnå detta mål krävs kraftiga åtgärder inom alla sektorer. En av dessa är bygg- och fastighetssektorn som 2018 stod för ca 22 % av Sveriges territoriella utsläpp av växthusgaser. Enbart cementindustrin står för ca 5–7 %. Cirka hälften av klimatpåverkan från moderna flerbostadshus uppkommer One of the main sustainability goals in Sweden is to reduce the nations greenhouse gas emissions to a net-zero level by 2045. This is a national implementation of the Paris- Agreement. To achieve this goal measures need to be taken in all industrial sectors. The construction and real-estate sectors are responsible for about 22 % of Sweden’s yearly territorial greenhouse gas emissions. The cement i

Neutralitetsprincipen är en grundläggande skatterättslig princip. Principen innebär bl.a. att beskattning inte ska styra individens val. Trots det innehåller skattesystemet en uppsjö av skatteregler med beteendeförändrande syfte eller effekt. Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda denna motsättning. Uppsatsen ämnar uppnå syftet genom att besvara följande frågeställningar: 1. Vad innebär och hur uppnåsThe principle of neutrality is a fundamental principle in tax law. The principle entails that taxation should not control the individual’s choice. Despite this, the tax system contains several tax rules with behaviour-altering purpose or effect. The purpose of this paper is to investigate this contradiction. The purpose is achieved by answering the following questions: 1. What is and how does one
While calls to reduce air travel have emerged in many high-income countries, Nepal, with only one international airport, is still striving to improve its air connectivity. In 2015, the government resumed its 1995 plan to build a second international airport near Nijgadh, a town in the southern plains. The project has since come under scrutiny from conservationists after plans emerged for extensive
This thesis investigates whether freely available, coarse-resolution, Passive Microwave Remote Sensing (PMRS) data (37 GHz) can be effectively used for early warning systems for floods in Malawi. The Shire River Basin in Chikwawa and the smaller-scale North Rukuru River Basin in Karonga were studied using two alternative, ratio-based satellite indices that make use of the signal difference between
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
Methane emissions from Northern wetlands constitute a substantial part of the total natural emission of methane, a strong greenhouse gas. Both environmental and biotic factors influence the production, oxidation and transport of methane and hence its net flux. The methane emission from Northern wetlands is highly variable both spatially and temporally. As many factors influence the methane flux, k
Syftet med föreliggande arbete var att undersöka utvecklingen av interaktionsförmågan och språkförståelsen hos tre hörselskadade förskolebarn. Barnen hade en hörselnedsättning som kan beskrivas som måttlig till höggradig. Deras kommunikationssätt varierade mellan att enbart tala, enbart teckna och att använda tal och tecken parallellt. Barnens interalctions- och språkförståelseförmåga observerades
