This dissertation explores and compares the rationalities through which Danish state officials sought to govern the colonized Afro-Caribbean population in the colony of the Danish West Indies and the state’s Danish subjects living in the metropole of Denmark in the period 1770-1900.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated changes in European healthcare systems, with a significant proportion of COVID-19 cases being managed on an outpatient basis in primary healthcare (PHC).

Background: While energy communities working on electricity provision have been extensively studied, thermal energy communities (TECs) focusing on bringing district heating (DH) systems to decarbonise heat systems in buildings have been relatively under-researched. This study addresses this gap by presenting the first comprehensive examination of key factors influencing the emergence and developme

Inom EU har det sedan 2010-talet skett en progressiv utveckling där sociala hänsyn fått en större roll inom offentliga upphandlingar. Sedan upphandlingsdirektivet från 2014 finns det numera en skyldighet för EU:s medlemsländer att iaktta arbetsrättsliga skyldigheter i upphandlingsförfarandet, vilket också tydliggjorts genom EUD:s praxis. Hur dessa skyldigheter ska beaktas är dock fortfarande komplSince the 2010s, social considerations have played an increasingly significant role in EU public procurement. The 2014 Public Procurement Directive introduced an obligation for EU Member States to consider labour law in the procurement process, which has also been clarified by European Court of Justice. However, how this obligation should be considered remains complex. All terms and conditions in

Shale gas extraction commonly known as fracking had support from the UK government with their ‘all out for shale’ policy. Despite this industry has struggled to establish itself mainly due to strong opposition from communities concerned about environmental and health impacts. Most research into the impacts of fracking is concerned with either environmental degradation or physical health impacts wh

Snö, glaciärer och regn över bergsområden möjliggör dricksvatten för miljoner av människor och fungerar som vattenreservoar för hela ekosystem. Under rådande klimatförändringar har smältande glaciärer i Himalaya blivit ett känt hot mot framtida dricksvattenförsörjning, men glaciärerna är inte de enda processer som påverkar tillgången på vatten. För att ta beslut som säkrar framtida vattentillgänglIn the central Himalayas, water dynamics are expected to change due to multiple factors like climate change, hydro power development and shifting land use practices. This thesis looks at possible changes in water dynamics in Marsyandi river basin, Nepal, as well as causes to those changes and how they are perceived locally. Grounded in critical physical geography, the study uses mixed methods an

Leaving a sustainable society for our children is considered an arbitrary goal for the environmental work that is currently taking place in Sweden.

Today, the waste is an unused resource that is purchas
