Human Rights and the Environment (JXHA01) – Distance Course in english Climate change and environmental degradation affect more and more peoples’ lives, well-being, dignity and safety, making it important to understand the connection between human rights and the environment. These global challenges raise questions about how public international law can protect the most vulnerable and ensure their

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to increase the understanding of how the business model of an architecture firm needs to adapt when the company decides to offer sustainable construction. This by identifying what characterizes the business model in an architecture firm that actively works with sustainable construction. When relevant, the study will also provide insights about the transformati

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen diskuterar jag hur materiell kultur förändras när den inlemmas i lokala sammanhang. Diskussionen utgår från gravar, hällristningar och bronsföremål i Sydskandinavien under perioderna senneolitikum och bronsålder, 2350-500 f. Kr. En viktig utgångspunkt i avhandlingen är ett praxisperspektiv. Jag understryker att föremåls och monuments betydelser var beroeIn the thesis the author discusses how materiel culture changed when it was incorporated into a local society. The discussion is based on graves, rock carvings and bronze items in south Scandinavia during the periods Late Neolithic and Bronze Age, 2350-500 BC. The thesis? starting point is a praxis perspective. The meaning of artefacts and monuments depended upon how they were used. The use of th

The Gaia mission is expected to make a significant contribution to the knowledge of exoplanet systems, both in terms of their number and of their physical properties. We develop Bayesian methods and detection criteria for orbital fitting, and revise the detectability of exoplanets in light of the in-flight properties of Gaia. Limiting ourselves to one-planet systems as a first step of the developm

Microsoft Word - starting_paper_Love_Eriksen.doc 1 Introduction Amazonia, the world’s largest area of tropical forest, has ever since the initial steps of European colonization been viewed as a landscape difficult to master. Known as “The Green Hell”, the area has been seen as an inhospitable place for human colonization and as a consequence of the demographic collapse caused by the colonizing nat

In human proteomics, substantial efforts are ongoing to leverage large collections of mass spectrometry (MS) fragment ion spectra into extensive spectral libraries (SL) as a resource for data independent acquisition (DIA) analysis. Currently, such initiatives in equine research are still missing. Here we present a large-scale equine SL, comprising 6394 canonical proteins and 89,329 unique peptides

OBJECTIVE: To explore the characteristics and outcome of patients after stroke admitted to early supported discharge (ESD) services, and to investigate changes over time. STUDY POPULATIONS: Patients admitted between June 1997 and September 1998 and participating in a follow-up study (n = 87) and all patients admitted in 2005-06 (n = 226). Background populations: All stroke cases in Malmö alive 3 m

This article discusses what we call the Asymmetry Problem, a theoretical question of how asymmetric properties of prosodic phrasing should generally be accounted for within the framework of Match Theory. Unlike Alignment Theory, in which phrasing asymmetry can be derived by mapping constraints (e.g., Align-XP), Match Theory cannot derive any phrasing asymmetry from mapping (i.e., Match) constraint

Docking of mobile robots requires precise position measurements in relation to the docking platform to accomplish the task successfully. Besides, the pose estimation of the robot with the sensors in an indoor environment should be accurate enough for localization and navigation toward the docking platform. However, the sensor measurements are entitled to disturbances and measurement uncertainties.

Previous numerical investigations have simulated the delamination of paperboard using various mechanical and cohesive models. This has given satisfactory agreement between the simulation results and experimental data when comparing force-depth curves during creasing and moment-angle curves during folding. However, the simulation results are dependent on the user’s definition of the delamination zo

Taiwanese bridal photography is a unique practice with the goal to produce images of fantasy styles ahead of the wedding. Chosen images are displayed at the wedding banquet for the guests to admire and later used as decoration in the house of newlyweds. This visual phenomenon is interesting in that people actively take part in the creation and consumption of visual commodity and it is connected to

Do municipalities in which organized crime is strongly established present lower Covid-19 vaccination rates, as a proxy for government trust? This paper aims to answer this question in the specific case of the Italian region of Sicily. Specifically, the analysis exploits a panel dataset of 390 Sicilian municipalities over 107 weeks (between the 27th of December 2020 and the 1st of January 2023) to

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar utvecklingen av den norsk-svenska freden mellan 1905-1940. Efterhand kom denna relation att närma sig Stabil Fred—ett förhållande karaktäriserat av avsaknaden av militärt våld, hot om militärt våld, och förväntningar på hot om militärt våld. Utvecklingen mot Stabil Fred smammanfaller delvis med den svenska demokratiseringen, och författaren uThis study concerns the development of Stable Peace between states in the modern anarchical international system. As a starting point for the inquiry the author argues that the prevalence of this type of interstate relationships—characterized by the mutual expectations that neither military violence nor threats thereof will be employed—may be seen as a fundamental challenge to the validity of prev

Brattforsheden is a large glacifluvial deposit in southwestern Sweden and associated with it is one of Sweden's largest inland dune fields. Although the relative ages of the Brattforsheden deposits are well known, absolute ages from the area are few. In this study we have used optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), surface exposure (Be-10) and radiocarbon (C-14) dating to provide an absolute chr

In February 2007, an epidemic of severe dermatitis from Chinese recliner chairs and sofas started to unfold first in Finland and a few months later in the UK. Some patients reacted in patch tests (PTs) strongly to the material of their furniture, either leather or fabric. There have been hundreds of reports of chair or sofa dermatitis from Finland and the UK, with all cases linked to the same furn

Among the irregular satellites orbiting Jupiter, the Himalia family is characterized by a high velocity dispersion dv of several hundred m s-1 among its members, inconsistent with a collisional origin. Efforts to account for this through internecine gravitational interactions do not readily reproduce this feature. Here, we revisit the problem in the context of recent cosmogonical models, where the

Wildfires are an important component of terrestrial ecosystem ecology but also a major natural hazard to societies, and their frequency and spatial distribution must be better understood. At a given location, risk from wildfire is associated with the annual fraction of burned area, which is expected to increase in response to climate warming. Until recently, however, only a few global studies of f

Little is known about the development of vision in wild birds. It is unknown, for example, whether the ability to see can be predicted by the level of prenatal growth or whether the eyes are open at hatching in a particular species. In this study, we investigated the growth of eyes, the formation of retinal ganglion cell topography, and the appearance of simple, visually guided behaviours in chick

Starting from the assumption that travelling has negative consequences for the ecological environment, this study deals with travel behaviour in Malmö. The study focuses on how households with different demographic and socio-economic characteristics and transport needs, confronted with different restrictions and possibilities in the surrounding structures, choose to travel in their everyday life.
