Urbanization has led to significant infrastructural challenges, particularly in the slum areas of the Global South. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are emerging as innovative approaches to enhance urban sustainability and resilience. This study investigates the enabling environment for decentralized governance in implementing NbS within urban slums, focusing on case studies in Indonesia and the Phili
This thesis explores the potential of Blockadia resistance, the resistance of frontline communities against fossil fuel extraction, for the climate justice movement. Driven by the need for alternative forms of climate action that address the root causes of climate change, this study examines if local fossil fuel resistance gives rise to a justice based environmentalism. The analysis is conducted o
Title: Striving for Contextual Ambidexterity: A Case Study Researching How an Organisation Can Manage the Tensions Brought About by the Strive to Simultaneously Exploit and Explore Date of the seminar: 18.05.2016 Course: ENTN39 Master´s Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation Internship and degree project (Master´s thesis 15 ECTS) Author: Alexander Danson and Carl Axel Kierulf Supervisor: Jo
Over the past two decades, immigrant-receiving countries have been confronted with honour crimes. In a number of Western European countries, there have been cases of police failure to intervene in cases of honour crimes occurring in migrant communities. The authorities responses to honour crimes have consistently been inadequate, as they do not take victims of honour crimes seriously and fail to p
Purpose: This work examined the feasibility of flattening filter free (FFF) volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for extreme hypofractionation of prostate cancer. The aim was to investigate the potential gain in treatment time per fraction for extreme hypofractionation of prostate cancer, while preserving or improving the treatment plan quality and radiation delivery quality. The impact of intr
This study examines whether the right to respect for private and family life, as enshrined in Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights, is equally enjoyed by transgender people. The focus of the research is on the European Court of Human Rights’ case law on gender identity, and special emphasis is placed on the principles of equality and non-discrimination. For the analysis, the Europ
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the interdependencies within the process of partner selection in the fashion and design sector and the emanating criteria for finding the ideal co-branding partner in order to use co-branding as a strategic brand activation tool. Methodology: Multiple Case Study Theoretical perspective: Brand Building and Brand Activation, Relationship Ma
Cambodia is now facing alarming issues concerning occupational safety and health in the construction sector. According to the ILO, in 2009, every day four people in Cambodia were killed due to occupational accidents which this amounted to more than 1500 death of the construction workers. Based on the union leaders in Cambodia, those accidents and illnesses were seen and occurred at the constructio
PET waste is the most visible environmental threat in the Maldives, a Small Island Developing State (SIDS). The thesis aims to propose the deposit refund system as a policy intervention, and evaluates the feasibility of introducing the system in the Maldives. In order to see how other SIDS have implemented the policy, the research uses policy evaluation framework to analyse the implementation mech
Under the growing influence of dominant discourses such as ecological modernisation and neo- liberalisation, proposed alternative conservation approaches focus more and more on efficiency. In the realm of biodiversity conservation, synthetic biology - the application of engineering to facilitate and accelerate the design or modification of genetic materials in living organisms – has emerged as an
Children are constantly surrounded by stereotypes in the form of books, television series, and films. The majority of children acquire knowledge about gender stereotypes at 3-4 years of age. Gender stereotypes can influence children’s personalities, social relations and future plans regarding occupation. The study at hand investigated whether 4-5 year old girls in preschool were affected in their
One of the target goals for sustainable development is the reduction of maternal mortality, which is a big health issue in some countries. Even if the research on maternal health care has come far and with the right expertise and supplies, almost all maternal deaths would be preventable. A working force to reduce the issues within maternal mortality in many countries are non-governmental organizat
In this work the design of an experimental test Platform analysis of the mechanical behavior of car seats during passenger ingress and egress is presented. This development has been performed in two steps: the first Step is data acquisition. by means of a mat sensorized with a pressure gauge net and a photogrammetry system so as to acquire the movements performed by a human during ingress and egre
Invariant mass distributions of jet pairs (dijets) produced in LHC proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy root s = 7 TeV have been studied using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1) recorded in 2011 by ATLAS. Dijet masses up to similar to 4 TeV are observed in the data, and no evidence of resonance production over background is found. Limits are set at 95
