Den här uppsatsen undersöker kopplingen mellan resursanvändning och ekonomisk tillväxt. Den ekonomiska tillväxten innebär användning av naturresurser som medför ökade avfallsmängder och negativ påverkan på människor och miljö. Avfall är den mest synliga och skadliga biprodukten av en resursintensiv, konsumtionsbaserad livsstil som driver många av världens ekonomier. För att skapa en långsiktig hål

This thesis will examine the discourse of peak oil understood from a post-political perspective and challenge the un-reflexive assumption of peak oil as a natural challenger to current hegemony. It will do so by constructing a theoretical framework for ‘politics proper’ through which the peak oil discourse will be assessed. The conclusion is that while peak oil offer the potential of a serious rup

This thesis presents the work I did for the inclusive search for anomalous production of same charge lepton-pairs, originating from the collision point, at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using the 2012 data. I optimized the selection criteria for isolated electrons and muons, calculated the so-called "fake factors" and "fake factor" systematic uncertainties

This essays focus is to unravel the discourses concerning women by doing a historic-comparative qualitative content analysis on Malleus Maleficarum, written in 1486, and modern papal writings in order to compare the similar or different ways in which the ideal woman is understood. The reason for why these materials have been chosen is based on the influential spread these writing had or have, and

Mass Rapes in Bosnia-Herzegovina illustrated the structural sexual violence in war and made it hypervisible. Despite the fact that 111 cases involving sexual violence during the war are being heard in the court of Bosnia and Herzegovina only thirty-six cases have been completed. Sara Sharratt’s theory argues that all institutions in society including the courts are affected by the stereotypes and

Feminism is a concept that can be considered extremely topical in Sweden in both the social and political context. Therefore, it is interesting to examine women’s position towards the concept and if they want to be identified as a feminist. This study is based on how women’s position towards feminism and feminists can be challenged by stereotypes and ideal types in the discourse of the concepts. T

The purpose of this paper was to show how politicians choose to use the history and the national discourse to mobilize for their ideological purposes. The Yugoslavia war is a clear example of that history can be used as a dangerous weapon during national and ethnical conflicts. To illuminate this a discourse analysis of nationalism and the ideological use of history will be done on three ex-Yugosl

Uppsatsen belyser jämställdhets- och genusarbete på några svenska förskolor. I studiens centrum står tre fokusområden, vilka även format huvudfrågeställningen: Hur ser verk-samhetsansvariga på tre olika förskolor i Skåne på könsneutralitet, normkritik och genuspedagogik i den egna verksamheten? Val av fokusområden beror på deras aktuella ställning i jämställdhetsfrågor inom förskolan. För att besv

Bakgrund: Postoperativa sårinfektioner efter ett kirurgiskt ingrepp är den tredje vanligaste vårdrelaterade infektionen (VRI) i Sverige. Konsekvenser av VRI är ofta ökat patientlidande, förlängda vårdtider och ökar vårdkostnader för samhället. I operationssjuksköterskans omvårdnadsansvar ingår att arbeta infektionspreventivt i enlighet med Patientsäkerhetslagen och evidensbaserad vård. Syfte: S

I mars i år lämnade regeringen ett förslag till riksdagen som syftar till att stärka skyddet mot tvångsäktenskap och barnäktenskap. Förslaget innehåller såväl civilrättsliga som straffrättsliga lagändringar. Förslagets utgångspunkt är att sådana äktenskap inte kan tolereras. Redan idag ger svensk rätt uttryck för att sådana äktenskap inte är önskvärda. Att tvinga någon att ingå äktenskap är idag sIn March this year the Swedish Government submitted a proposal to the parliament that aims to strengthen the protection against forced marriages and child marriages.

Investing in renewable energy sources (RES) is one pivotal way to ensure future energy sustainability that also mitigates climate change. The EU has committed to increase the share of renewable energy (RE), and has tasked member states with targets. The Netherlands has now issued the ‘Energy Agreement for Sustainable Growth’ to attain a share of 14% RE by 2020. Coincidentally the theoretical knowl

The aim with this thesis is to clarify the scope of the Schumacker doctrine and specifically to answer the questions "Which tax rules are considered to take into account the ability to pay?" and "What are the thresholds for determining when a non-resident is in a comparable situation to that of a resident?". The findings of the study are that such rules are difficult to ident

The Maldives currently suffers from climate change, and will be soon rendered inhabitable due to rising sea levels. A political past stained by dictatorship and corruption has also led to inconceivable amounts of environmental destruction. With the idea of ecology and green politics gaining ground throughout the world, it is viable to question the possibility of practicing these concepts in an env

Issues related to attribution of profits already exist in the traditional economic framework and are of a different nature, however these issues seem to become more bothersome in transactions conducted in e-commerce context, with an electronic economy. The matter is similar to the traditional economic problems in regard to transfer pricing adjustments; however these issues are much more complex du

'Identity' is a frequently used concept within the field of European studies, which has resulted in a myriad of different perspectives on what its meaning entails. As such, the meaning of identity is often claimed to be ambiguous, which causes problems for methodology related issues. This thesis suggests that the field of European Studies as a research area has to adjust its approach to th

While overall Erasmus participation rates are increasing, the number of UK students taking part is falling, and the particularity of the ‘British case’ is one that merits investigation. This thesis is concerned with notions of identity as understood by English Erasmus students specifically, and investigates how such students understand European identity and British identity, both in relation to ea
