Effekterna av den globala uppvärmningen har visat sig på alla kontinenter och i Sverige har det blivit både varmare och blötare. Risker som kopplas till klimatförändringar i Sverige är torka, värmevågor och översvämningar och dessa risker måste hanteras på alla samhällsnivåer av flera olika aktörer. Stöd och råd för hur samhällsaktörer kan förbereda sig kommer från både Nationellt kunskapscenter fThe effects of global warming have been seen at all continents and in Sweden it has become both warmer and wetter.

My questions are: How can you find the IR theories, realism and liberalism, in the arguments surrounding Libya and Syria in the UN Security Council?

This paper will investigate whether Danish people assimilate into Swedish society, or if the proximity to Denmark and differences in language, culture and identity are such important factors that assimilatio

Stigmatiseringen av psykiskt sjuka leder till diskriminering av och försämrad livskvalitet för dessa individer. Allmänheten har ofta en felaktig bild av individer som lider av en psykisk sjukdom, om uppkomsten till dessa sjukdomar samt hur dessa tar sig uttryck och kan behandlas. Det är inte sällan som dessa individer betraktas som farliga eller ansvariga för sitt sjukdomstillstånd och de undviks Stigmatization of mental illness leads to discrimination of and an impaired quality of life for these individuals. In general, people misrepresent individuals suffering from mental illness, the emergence, symptoms and effective treatment. Frequently, these individuals are misinterpreted as being dangerous or responsible for their own medical state and they are to a greater extent avoided by the pu

The world is currently experiencing a refugee movement of enormous scale with a necessity for assistance beyond comprehension. Simultaneously western states are becoming reluctant to host asylum seekers which have resulted in countries adopting restrictive asylum policies.

Affärssystemen har kommit att spela en allt mer central roll i många verksamheter de senaste decennierna, framför allt inom tillverkningsindustrin. Detta har också gjort att en allt större del utav företags IT-budgetar spenderas på dessa system. Investeringar i affärssystem är dock mycket svåra att utvärdera. En stor del utav de värden som affärssystem genererar är svåra att kvantifiera och uppska

The focus of this essay is the process of human self-identification in the human-cat relationship as narrated in On Cats by Doris Lessing. The concept of ‘narrative’, understood in the sense that it assigns meaning by connecting events and experiences, has allowed for an analysis of the meaningful connections in the interaction between the two species. By employing the philosophical term of ‘the O

Recent studies have paid strong attention to the field of brand extension, whilst comparatively limited research has focused on line extension and the reciprocal effects on the brand. Barely any attention has been paid to the effect of green product launches on brand evaluation in an automotive context or the influence of the actual awareness for the extensions. This thesis examines the role of Ne

Den rättsliga utvecklingen har dock under tid varit föränderlig och lagstiftaren har vägt in parametrar som att barn kan vara utsatta i familjelivet där de som skall ta hand om dem är de som utsätter barnen för skadliga handlingar. Enligt FN:s barnSwedish society has for some time looked to the protection of family life, private life, weighed heavier than a public ruling. The legal development, however, has been changing over time, and the legislature has weighed in parameters that children can be exposed in family life where those who must care for them are those who expose children to harmful acts. According to the UNCRC, the child's

Genom att framhäva de personliga fördelarna med att åka tåg och buss kan människor som vanligtvis åker bil få upp ögonen för dessa kollektiva transportmedel, vilket leder till minskade utsläpp av växthusgaser. Med mindre än 15 000 invånare är Åstorp en mindre kommun i nordvästra Skåne. I kommunen, som består av fyra tätorter, finns det två tågstationer och tjugotre busshållplatser. Trots de relatWith less than 15 000 inhabitants, Åstorp is a small municipality in the north west of Skåne. In the county there are two train stations and twenty-three bus stops. Despite the good opportunities for public transport, the municipality has high emissions of greenhouse gases from passenger transports if compared with other municipalities in Skåne. By means of a focus group, this paper employs a qual

Den andra juni 2014 utlöste fackförbundet Seko den omtalade tågstrejken som var en kamp om anställningsvillkor och anställningsformer.

Denna kvalitativa studie handlar om de förändrade arbetsvillkoren i samhället och hur detta kommit att återspeglas i tå

Resilience, the ability to withstand or adapt to altered conditions, gets more important as the grave effects of climate change intensify. Individuals’ capacities to respond to disasters are strongly connected to their social capital (e.g. relationships and networks). The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of this connection at a neighborhood level. In the first part of this p

Including both country and macroeconomic factors in the research allows for having a new approach on the topic. T

Some practices are seen as so serious and damaging to competition that they are presumed to have restrictive effects on competition. Having a category of restrictions that are forbidden benefits both companies, as it creates legal certainty, and the Commission which would not not have to go through a burdensome investigation. In recent decades, the interpretation of restriction by object has cause
