Risk communication is recognised as an essential component of crisis preparedness, enabling people at risk to take informed decisions to protect themselves. Research has shown that foreign-born people including refugees and immigrants to a lesser extent than others are reached by the information and are less prepared for crisis, making them particularly vulnerable in crisis situations. Employing a
The interest of religion in the academia of history and the history of ideas has held an unobtrusive and modest position during modernity. Often, religion and its influences, was regarded as something waning, something that was about to disappear. Instead science would become the foremost guiding light upon which most historians would focus their gaze. This essay aims to examine how article-author
he most important factor in a creative mind, is the confidence in that you can create.

Climate change and human impact play a huge role in the sustainability and development of ecosystems and the services they offer to societies over temporal and spatial scales. Fossil pollen-based estimates provide unique information on past land cover change, but to date there are not many methods able to create spatially continuous maps and have a fine scale of land cover changes inferred from po
Impoliteness has been considered as a marginal phenomenon for scientific research for some time, although as a type of behaviour it has always been around us. The field of impoliteness studies is currently growing, but there are clear gaps in the research that concerns the conventionality of expressions, different semiotic systems through which impoliteness is expressed and cross-cultural comparis
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is an important air pollutant with both environmental and epidemiological effects. The main aim of this thesis is to explore spatial patterns and temporal trends of tropospheric NO2 concentrations globally using data from the OMI instrument aboard NASA’s Aura spacecraft. Additional aims are to validate the satellite data by comparing it to ground-based measurements, and to f
EU har antagit mål att till år 2030 minska koldioxidutsläppen med 40%, Sverige har gått steget längre och beslutat att år 2045 ska nettoutsläppen av koldioxid i landet vara noll. Av världens totala utsläpp står betongtillverkningen för 7% vilket innebär att det är ett område med stor potential till förbättring. Syftet med det här examensarbetet är att bidra med kunskapsutveckling kring återanvändThe EU has established a binding target to reduce CO2 emissions by 40% by 2030, Sweden has taken one step further and has decided to be carbon neutral by 2045. 7 % of the world´s total CO2 emissions comes from concrete production which makes it a field with great potential to improvement. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the requirements for reusing concrete elements in practice in the c
Sedan efterkrigstiden har det skett en markant ökning av antalet anmälda brott. Detta har inneburit att arbetsbelastningen på de rättsvårdande myndigheterna ökat. En konsekvens av utvecklingen är att lagstiftaren försökt effektivisera processen samt hitta andra sätt att avgöra ansvarsfrågan på. Som följd av detta har bland annat åtalsunderlåtelseinstitutet fått en etablerad plats inom svensk strafSince the post-war era, there has been a significant increase in the number of crimes being reported. This has led to increased workloads for law enforcement authorities.
