Due to rapid urbanization and globalization in last decades, we face many serious problems. One of them is depopulation, a less discussed consequence of urbanization. Besides depopulation, a town called Abertamy copes with its complicated history and lost relationship to the landscape. In my thesis, I was searching for potential answers to today’s burning question: How to boost life in the countr

I över hundra år har mesosideriterna förbryllat forskare, och många teorier har kommit och gått. Huvudfrågorna har varit: Hur blandades kärn- och skorpmaterial utan att inkorporera stora mängder mantelmaterial? Vilket scenario förklarar en snabb avkylning, följt av en extremt långsam avkylning? I detta examensarbete samlar jag forskningen kring mesosideriterna och diskuterar de olika teorierna. EnThe mesosiderites have puzzled researchers for over a hundred years, and many theories have come and gone. The main bones of contention have been: How did core and crust material mix without incorporating large amounts of mantle material? What kind of scenario explains a period of fast cooling, followed by extremely slow cooling? This work gathers and discusses the research on mesosiderites. A han

Under de senaste åren har en ökning skett av populistisk kommunikation, vilket kan ses som en konsekvens av den övergripande medialiseringen av samhället och politiken. Tidigare forskning har främst fokuserat på populismens ideologiska positionering och den politiska eller populistiska aktören i sig och inte på populism som kommunikationsstrategi. Med bakgrund av detta syftar denna stu-die till atAs a consequence of the overall mediatization of society and politics, there has been a rise of populist communication during recent years. Earlier research has mostly fo-cused on populism's ideological positioning and the political or populist actor itself instead of populism as a communication strategy. Against this background, this study aims at identifying and increasing knowledge about ho

Säker hantering av animaliska biprodukter minskar spridning av sjukdomar Ungefär 200 människor har dött på grund av Creutzfeldt-Jakobs sjukdom, efter att ha ätit kött från sjuka kor. Sjukdomen är förknippad med den ”galna ko-sjukan” även kallat Bovin Spongiform Encefalopat (BSE). BSE sprider sig genom att kött- och benmjöl framställt av BSE-sjuka nötkreatur har använts som foder. BSE sprids till Animal by-products (ABP) is an unknown area in food control in Sweden, mainly grocery stores. ABP affects many different areas, such as food, feed, animal welfare and waste.

Till följd av ovanligt låg nederbörd drabbades stora delar av södra Sverige av extremt låga grundvattennivåer under 2016–2017. För att undvika problem med vattenförsörjningen införde flera kommuner, inklusive Mörbylånga kommun, ett bevattningsförbud. Eftersom grundvatten utgör ungefär hälften av Sveriges dricksvatten är det viktigt att skydda och förvalta denna grundläggande resurs på ett hållbartRecently, several regions in southern Sweden suffered extremely low groundwater levels following a long-term infrequency in rainfall. In response, irrigation was banned in many of the affected municipalities during 2016–2017, amongst which Mörbylånga municipality was one. Because nearly half of the nation’s drinking water is extracted from groundwater, protecting and managing this vital resource i

Intresset för agil projektledning är väldigt stort idag och en av de mest spridda och använda arbetsmetoderna är Scrum.

I undersökningen studeras Snowden och Boones (2007) ramverk där de presenterar kontext- och domänspecifika situationer för projektledning. Vidare undersöker vi vilka icke kontext- och

In this bachelor’s thesis I analyse William Shakespeare’s comedic play A Midsummer Night’s Dream from the perspective of gender and sexuality. Through a qualitative content analysis, where I found several relevant themes, I explore how gender and sexuality is constructed by the characters in the play. My focus for exploring this is to see how the characters reproduce and/or deconstruct gender norm

Det intersektionella synsättet antas med fokus att identifiera diskriminering rörande etnicitet, genus och klass. Perspektivet, som har sin utgångspunkt i postkolonialism och feminism, bidrar med kunskap kring problematiken i att utforma denna typ av reklam. Empi
