The area of electricity is politically poorly explored. Yet, it is something that affects citizens of the European Union daily. In 2003 the electricity market became a part of the internal market project. This thesis is a case study of the case of Swedish interconnectors, which principal-supervisor-agent analysis to illustrate the institutional conflicts that arise when national and European insti
Att uppskatta lövyteindex med satellitdata Vegetation har unika spektrala egenskaper som kan användas inom fjärranalys för att få information om viktiga ekologiska parametrar, som t.ex löyteindex (eng. leaf area index, LAI, lövyta per markenhet). LAI styr många ekologiska processer som fotosyntes och transpiration. Med hjälp av satellitbilder kan man uppskatta LAI i stor skala. Vegetation absorLeaf area index, LAI, is an important biophysical parameter in ecological modeling. It is the ratio of leaf area per unit ground area. To obtain LAI over large areas in a fast and convenient way the use of satellite data is important. Aim of the project was to determine if there is a relationship between LAI and red-, NIR reflectance and a couple of vegetation indices: Global Environment Monitorin
Jag har intervjuat tre sångpedagoger för att förstå hur de balanserar sångteknik, personligt uttryck och röstideal i sångundervisningen. De forskningsfrågor jag sökt svar på är: Finns det ett eller flera röstideal som eftersträvas i sångundervisningen i allmänhet?; Vilket/ vilka är i så fall dessa röstideal?; Påverkar detta ”röstideal” det personliga uttrycket hos eleven och i så fall på vilket sä
Abstract Authors: Arnela Ibrakovic and Jenny Geffen Title: Medical social worker – a certainty? A study of professional fencing and identity The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine and illuminate how medical social workers perceive their professional role, identity and challenges in the hospital organization. The study furthermore explores the importance of group solidarity for
The Apostle meeting in Jerusalem is an important event that leads to the Apostle Decree, condensing all rules into four main ones, in order to include the Gentiles. Regarding food restrictions in the Decree, what could have started a Gentile alternation of their old symbolic universe, in order to internalize a new plausibility structure? The focus seems to have been to describe in what way the Gen
Concerns about the decline in knowledge concerning food growing stemming stem from the Green Revolution, as well as the rapid urbanization since the beginning of the 20th Century. There is a gap in the literature about community gardening in industrialized English-speaking countries, and since sharing of knowledge is a well-documented achievement of community gardens, the aim of this thesis is to
I sitt rådgivande yttrande: Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons, bekräftade den Internationella domstolen att reglerna och principerna inom den internationella humanitära rätten och den internationella miljörätten är tillämpliga gällande kärnvapen. Vidare, skulle effekterna av en kärnvapenexplosion otvivelaktigt vara förödande, det är dock inte effekterna av en detonation som särskilIn its Advisory Opinion: Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons, the ICJ affirmed that the principles and rules of IHL and international environmental law are applicable to the question of nuclear weapons. Further, the effects of a nuclear weapon explosion are undoubtedly disastrous, it is however not the effects of a detonation that separates unmodern nuclear weapons from modern nuclear
The purpose of this study is to contribute to the limited literature on sustainable consumption in Vietnam with a focus on the young urban consumer. Sustainable consumption is an important area to focus on as Vietnam is an emerging economy with a young population where consumption is increasing and where the young and fast-growing labor market underpins their economic prosperity. Vietnam is also e
Small-scale fisheries are highly important in terms of economic productivity and environmental relevance in Mexico’s Northwest. The Santa María Bay (SMB), in Sinaloa, México, is the largest bay in the state and is highly productive in terms of fishing and the economic activities derived from it. It is also home to endemic species and the region’s largest mangrove wetland. It faces environmental an
This paper aimed to identify discourses and interpretative repertoires, used by the CIA to construct a narrative regarding terrorism when communicating with the public. This was done by analysing texts found on the official CIA website with discursive psychology methodology. Three main themes were identified, with thirteen subthemes. These related to how the CIA presented terrorists, terrorism, an
Purpose – This paper aims to explore online brand communities on social media platforms, built by B2B companies in the machinery equipment industry, and how these virtual spaces can contribute to relationship marketing and corporate brand building. Design/methodology/approach – The paper adopts both literature review and a multiple case study approach of two companies, Caterpillar and John Deere,
During the last decades the spread of the invasive species round goby, Neogobius melanostomus, has largely increased in the Baltic Sea affecting the ecosystem, biodiversity and species interactions. Round goby originates from the Caspian Sea and has most likely been introduced multiplied times via ships ballast water to different areas of the Baltic Sea. The establishment has had both negative and
As the climate crisis becomes more severe, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is increasingly seen as a viable option to help mitigate climate change. However, one risk with regard to CCS is that it locks us into the use of carbon-based energy sources and industry, creating a carbon lock-in. Looking at the German-Norwegian partnership to store German CO2 in Norway and to provide hydrogen in return,
Uppkopplade enheter, eller Internet of Things (IoT), blir alltmer vanliga i våra hem vilket resulterar i ett behov att fjärrstyra dem. Man kan åstadkomma detta via app- likationer som distribueras av tillverkarna av dessa IoT enheter, vilket kan resultera i att du behöver flertalet applikationer för att kontrollera dina IoT enheter. Problem kan också uppstå när man ska namnge sina IoT enheter, detAs connected devices, or Internet of Things (IoT), are becoming increasingly more common in our homes we need a way to control them remotely. Remote control can be achieved with native applications created by the providers of these IoT devices which can result in you needing several applications to control your IoT devices. Furthermore, issues can arise when naming your IoT devices, e.g. if they a
This cross-sectional case study investigates patterns of politicisation in election campaigns of the German Eurosceptic party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) by means of a comparative multi-level analysis. It adds to the existing literature by examining the Eurosceptic elements of the party’s campaign communication across various decision-making levels. It examines EU issue salience, the dimensi
Abstract: Since the ending of the Vietnam War, the Hmong in Laos have been hiding in the northern mountainous areas, fearing retribution from the People’s Revolutionary Party, whom they opposed. These areas are still currently restricted from outside contact. In 2009, Hmong refugees were repatriated from Thailand despite their unwillingness to return to Laos, fearing safety issues with the Lao Gov
This thesis examines EU’s adoption of a human security approach and the extent to which it has been part of crisis management discourse as well as practice in the Sahel region of Africa. It tells the story of a maturing process for a core approach in EU security policy; that is, the story of human security and how the concept has evolved from a state of innocence to gradual experience and adolesc
There are many actors included in the humanitarian system, such as NGOs, UN humanitarian agencies and governments. However, a gap in the humanitarian system can be identified where the traditional actors lack resources, which provides an opportunity for the private sector to be more involved, particularly in preparing for humanitarian operations. Therefore, in this research, a multiple-case study
