In 2020, the German government introduced a legislation to phase-out coal mining and combustion by 2038. Expert reports state that this is too late for Germany to meet its obligations from the Paris Agreement. For many people in Lusatia, one of the three coal mining areas in Germany, even the 2038 coal-exit is happening too fast. They fear for their economic and personal future in the coal-mining

This study set out to investigate the concept of security and the intelligence threat set in a Swedish context regarding its national and intelligence security policies. The aim of this paper is to examine whether or not there is any ambiguity of the concept of security. By applying Baldwin’s conceptual framework “The Concept of Security”, a set of dimensions is used to analyse the Swedish nationa

With rapid urbanisation, local governments are increasingly put under pressure to manage urban space in a way that benefits all citizens. Urban space often become contested and economic, political, social, and environmental interests shape how these spaces are used and managed. In the context of Cape Town, two mayor interests that determine spatial development are urban greening and affordable hou

This paper researches the Korean Constitutional Court’s decision to legalize abortions in South Korea in 2019. While abortions have been illegal from 1957, the way in which it has been put into practice has varied, as well as the social and political status of abortions. From 2015 and onward, feminist movements started mobilizing a pro-choice movement, without much political response from executiv

Travel is a crucial part of our lives and the way we travel is constantly changing. The current state of day-to-day travel in Sweden is studied with a case study on a new neighborhood, renowned for its innovation and sustainable approach, that is under development in the city of Lund in southern Sweden. Implementation of public transit, mobility-as-a-service and contemporary infrastructure pla

Transitional justice is an essential part in any peacebuilding project. This study will aim to examine the relationship of the global and local spectrum in a transitional justice process and try to understand how the western adversarial systems erode and repress the local justice systems. The thesis will seek to study the empirical illustrations in a case study of the transitional justice process

Malaria är en tropisk sjukdom som orsakas av en encellig parasit av släktet Plasmodium och sprids till människor via infekterade myggor. Smittan uppstår genom stick från honmyggor av Anopheles-släktet. Efter sticket, tar sig parasiten till levern och sedan till de röda blodkropparna som efter ett tag spricker. Därefter kommer parasiten ut i blodet tillsammans med andra nedbrytningsprodukter vilka New half-sandwich complexes of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-rhodium, iridium, and p-cymene-ruthenium have been synthesized and characterized. All metal complexes contain ligands based on a 4-chloroquinoline framework analogous to the antimalarial drug chloroquine. The first reaction in the preparation of a new ligand is a nucleophilic substitution at the chloro position of 4-chloro-7-fluoroquinolin

Den här uppsatsen handlar om hur bolag i en intressegemenskap gör värdeöverföringar mellan varandra i form av koncernbidrag samt internprissättning. På grund av skatteflyktsbestämmelsers vaghet kan bolag inte direkt förutse om ett förfarande är skatteflykt. Koncernbidrag kan göras avdrag på om det uppfyller de kraven som finns i 35 kap inkomstskattelagen. Dock kan skatteflyktslagen fortfarandThis essay is about how companies in a community of interest make value transfers between each other in the form of group contributions and transfer pricing. Due to the vagueness of Swedish tax evasion regulations, companies can not directly predict when a transaction is considered tax evasion. Group contributions can be deducted from a companies income but only if the comany meets the requir

Korslimmat trä är ett tämligen nytt material, bestående av korslagda lager av brädor. Produkten tillåter nya byggmetoder och kan ses som ett grönare alternativ till stål och betong. Dess uppbyggnad gör det mer robust och mindre beroende av träets varierande egenskaper för olika geometriska dimensioner. Som ett nytt byggnadsmaterial är dess beteende och karaktär inte lika välstuderat. Med trä som iCross-laminated timber is a fairly new material, composed of layers of timber boards cross-placed. The product allows for new construction techniques and can be seen as a more sustainable alternative to steel and concrete. Its structure makes it more robust and less dependent on the variation in properties of wood for different geometrical dimensions. As a new material, the CLT is not well studied

Opuntia ficus-indica is a cactus plant rich in dietary fiber and vitamins. It can be considered as a functional food, and some of its extracted components can be added as functional ingredients to improve postprandial glycemic regulation. The aim of changing our dietary habits by eating such foods is to reduce blood glucose levels after ingesting a starchy food together with the nopal product, wh

Sweden, often listed as one of the world’s most gender equal countries, has one of the most gender segregated labour markets in the world, as well as one of the largest gender differences in regard to the number of days with parental leave. This paper investigates whether there is an interaction between occupational groups’ gender composition and the effect of average days with parental leave on t

Innovation is emphasized as an engine of growth and as the driving force of the 21-century. The innovation capacity of companies is centered around human capital where the lack of qualified employees is seen as one of the biggest barriers to innovation. Therefore, this study aims to explore how popular companies work to attract and retain innovative employees, and what attracts and motivates innov

Having implemented a ban on plastic shopping bags with three other reinforcements of the ban over the span of two decades, Bhutan still faces the issue of plastic shopping bag overconsumption and waste, where the ban policy has been proven ineffective. Issues of plastic shopping bag consumption in Bhutan are discussed to understand the plastic shopping waste situation in the country, and different

The investigation of lung function in a population plays an important role in diagnosis and assessment of many airway diseases. In addition, an overview of the lung function status can help provide better health-care options and inform medical decisions. When studying the lung function, the collection of measurements (data) of the lung function from voluntary individuals is a crucial part. Often,Longitudinal study designs, in which variables of interest are observed at multiple time points in a study population, are frequently used in clinical research. Missing data are common in these types of studies. Moreover, in studies investigating a population where the mortality rate is high, data can be truncated by death. To handle missing or truncated data, it is important to investigate the un

SAAB Dynamics produces and develops warheads and uses computer simulations to evaluate its products. Recently, SAAB has begun using neural networks to quickly obtain accurate outputs, based on simulated data, from a set of input variables with success. This thesis investigated whether interim data in the form of video frames can improve the output of the network. This thesis investigated the use o

Traditionell biologisk näringsavskiljning inom avloppsvattenrening, såsom denitrifikation och biologisk fosforavskiljning (EBPR), kräver tillgång på lättnedbrytbart kol för att bra reningsgrad ska uppnås. Dock är en stor andel av kolet i det inkommande avloppsvattnet partikulärt och måste hydrolyseras innan det blir tillgängligt för bakterierna i den biologiska reningen. Flera studier har studeratTraditional biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes in wastewater treatment require access to easily biodegradable carbon in order to achieve sufficient removal. However, a lot of the carbon in the influent wastewater is not directly available for BNR bacteria but need to undergo hydrolysis first. Several studies have investigated the possibility to produce an internal carbon source from the g

Urbaniseringens effekter på samhället har medfört omfattande utmaningar för städer. Med den ökande befolkning som sker behövs lösningar finnas på plats för att tillgodose resmöjligheter samtidigt som miljön inte belastas. Biltrafiken har lett till en rad av ohållbara och kostsamma problem för både individ och samhälle. Att främja hållbara transportalternativ kombinerat med serviceerbjudande ökar m
