As climate change continues to threaten us more and more, different ways of governing climate change are considered. Multi-level governance approach is widely used in the literature to examine how global, national, and local actor interacts and influence each other. In this thesis I analyse how multi-level governance of climate change work in the case of Istanbul by adopting a powerbased approach.
In 2017, an inclusive outdoor area was initiated in Nordvest, Copenhagen, in order to break down the barriers between homeless migrants and residents of the local neighborhood. The presence of homeless migrants on the streets of Copenhagen has spurred much debate and resulted in increasing uneasiness among the domiciled population. This has led to an increase in the criminalization of the behavior
Over the course of the last few years climate change has been increasingly framed in terms of security, frequently featuring in discussions and publications of various security actors and institutions. This development generated a vigorous debate within academia as to whether a securitization of climate change in global politics has occurred. By drawing upon Copenhagen School’s Securitization Theo
The aim of this thesis is to map and explore how Swedish film archives work with archival intermediation and archival access activities, wherein the contemporary and transitional nature of film and film archives – from analogue to digital milieus – is considered. The intention is to deepen the knowledge concerning how these processes affect film archives as institutions of memory and film heritage
Aim: The aim of this thesis is to get a deeper understanding of cultural integration in the pre-stage of a merger process and by doing so also contribute to an understanding of merger outcomes. Research Question: How is cultural integration managed in the pre-merger stage and how is this perceived by employees? Methodology: Through an interpretative epistemological approach we developed a quali
Participation in urban development processes is increasingly demanded by citizens. In fighting for the ‘Right to the City’ urban social movements are acting as representatives of citizens and are incorporated within a complex network of power relations between several stakeholders involved. Theses power relations shape the extent of citizen participation in these processes. This thesis aims at con
Stadsutvecklingen i Storstockholm är avgörande för att staden ska kunna tillgodose alla människors behov såväl nu som på lång sikt. En viktig hållpunkt för att klara av en snabb och fungerande stadsutveckling är begreppet hållbar utveckling, som omfattas av ekologisk, social samt ekonomisk hållbarhet. Inom Svensk stadsbyggnad har hållbarhetsdebatten på senare tid gjort utrymme för ökat fokus på soSustainable development, based on the three dimensions; ecological, economic and social development, is an important concept towards a dedicated and effective development of urban areas. The urban sustainability debate within Sweden have given social problems a wider focus in recent times. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate how the ideas of social sustainability in a newly completed urban area
This thesis investigates the political-economic context that underlies the Korean Emissions Trading Scheme (KETS). The idea of trading carbon as a commodity in the carbon market has been embraced by many regions to reduce carbon emissions and to mitigate climate change. The government of South Korea has started to implement the emissions trading mechanism since 2015 to curtail the national greenho
This thesis is a historical study concerned with the impact of North Sea oil on British politics during the 1970's and 80's. Vast quantities of oil sedimented beneath the waves within the UK continental shelf – hundreds of miles of the north-east coast of Scotland – attracted oil barons and transnational majors to the hostile waters of the North Sea in the early 1970's. It was Margaret
This thesis was done in collaboration with, and on behalf of, One Nordic AB. The purpose was to examine the system One Demand, a system used for sampling measurement data, to begin the development of a new version of the system. The new system is comprised of two parts, a central unit and a graphical user interface. The first step was to find a single board computer, on which the computer program
It is difficult to prepare for events with large-scale consequences and low probability. Simulation exercises (SimEx) provide the opportunity to improve preparedness through strengthening capabilities before an actual emergency. Conducting a SimEx could be very expensive and therefore the SimEx should be thoroughly evaluated. Action plans (AP) determine the relevant recommendations to be implement
I förarbetet till fastighetsbildningslagen öppnade man upp för möjligheten att betrakta ett köp som en överenskommelse, enligt 5:18 FBL, och därmed blev det möjligt att överföra en hel fastighet till en mottagande fastigheten. Med detta alternativ till det traditionella köpet av fast egendom var det nu möjligt att undvika stämpelskatten. Efter några år utfördes en statlig utredning SOU 1983:8, ochThe aim of this thesis is to show how the number of reallotment change over time and it’s the impact on the valuation of agricultural land. The third issue is whether the reallotments was made to avoid stamp duty. Cadastral dossier has been search through from the year 1996- 2014 with a three-year interval between the measurements. There are three municipalities in southern Scania that has investi
Through violence, war, and persecution millions of people are forced to cross borders to escape death. Yet, worldwide discriminatory state practices daily deny millions of forced migrants access to safe territory. Among those crossing borders are persons without the right to carry travel documents as members of a state. Most often the group of people is known as stateless refugees. Statelessness,
Nature-based solutions (NbS) are gaining popularity as tools to address societal challenges while providing social, economic, and environmental benefits. Given that NbS is a relatively new concept, there is a lack of guidance on how NbS in urban areas can be adapted to fit their socio-spatial context and provide benefits. This research uses an exploratory comparative case study between Rotterdam,
The purpose of this project is studying heat transfer to indexable cutting tools during milling of a selection of titanium alloys, relevant to the industry. To achieve this goal, both experimental and theoretical models were contemplated to formulate the current thesis. The experimental set-up was designed and executed at Seco Tools AB, supporting the project as industrial collaborator. The therm
The aim of this study is to critically explore the effects of pre-existing norms on the establishment of child protection policies in Kuwait, as well as to deliver an analysis of the timeline of the formation of the Child Rights Law (CRL), taking into account the role of institutional and administrative capacities in the country. The subject is analyzed using the concepts of policy diffusion theor
In the early 1980s, during the darkest years of Pinochet’s dictatorship, an apparently innocuous but radical decision was made: to implement an old-age pension system based on individual accounts mandatorily administered by private for-profit entities called ‘pension fund administrators’ (‘AFPs’, by its acronym in Castilian), in which the workers’ social security regarding old-age pensions was in
Liquid foams are dispersions of closely packed gas bubbles within a liquid phase. They are commonly encountered in daily life, such as in food and cosmetics, and are extensively used in industry due to their unique mechanical properties, exhibiting both solid-like and liquid- like behavior. However, predicting the rheological behavior of liquid foams remains a challenge due to the complex interpla
