This paper examines how the Faroese and their pilot whaling practice, called grindadráp, is affected by global marine pollution.

The Faro

The district Lillåudden, located next to Lake Mälaren in Västerås is one of many exploited waterfront areas in the 2000s. The flood risk in Mälaren is expected to decrease with the remodeling of Slussen in Stockholm, however there is great uncertainty regarding the relationship between land uplift and sea level rise in the next century due to global warming. This leads to concerns about future flo

This thesis analyzed the portrayal of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in South Korea by “The Korea Times” and the “Global Times," focusing on its political, economic, and cultural implications.

To provide a solution for this, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) launched their Nature Bonds Program aimed at

I denna text presenteras en kvalitativ intervjustudie baserad på utsagor från tio informanter med utgångspunkt i hur kriminella nätverk har förändrats. Forskning har visat att Sverige är unikt vad gäller ökningen av skjutvapenvåld. Den grupp som står för majoriteten av våldet är unga män. Den organiserade brottsligheten har genomgått en förändring från MC-gängens tydliga organisationsstruktur och

Utgångspunkten för denna uppsats är att det i det svenska samhället råder en stark norm kring tvåsamhet som grund för familjebildning, vilket blir tydligt redan i första kapitlet i ÄktB i vilket det framgår vilka som har rätt att gifta sig - de som befinner i sig i en parrelation.

This is already evident in the first chapter of the Swedish Marriage Code, which refers to those eligible to marry as two persons in a relationship. Polygamy, however, is illegal. The thesis examines the legal concept of twoness; what is said about it
