In 2015, 19.2 million people have been internally displaced globally in the context of disasters (IDMC, 2016). This is more than twice the number of people who have been newly displaced by conflict in the same period (IDMC, 2016). The small island developing states (SIDS) in the Pacific and the Caribbean belong to the most hazard-prone regions of the world. Yet, the dynamics of disaster-induced di

In the outskirts of Malmö, Sweden a small population of sand lizard Lacerta agilis resides in a disused shooting range close to the recreation area known as Husie mosse. This species is listed in the national swedish red list as vulnerable and is declining throughout most of northwestern Europe. It is therefore included in The Habitats Directive, a European Union directive which aims to protect th
To recover from armed conflicts, state authorities need to take on measures that will permit statebuilding to happen. Usually, the first type of measures put into place is the adoption of programmes called Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR). Because they target individuals who are deemed potential threats to the success of the peace process, namely combatants, DDR programmes are s
E-commerce is a rapidly growing phenomenon that constantly attracts new target audiences and finds new fields of application. Some products are popular in the E-commerce and others are considered hard to sell over the web. Even the products that are considered a hard sell over the web are getting more popular, and the E-commerce web sites are evolving to increase customer satisfaction. The E-comme
In this work, six soil samples have been analyzed. The samples come from different sedimentary layers on Earth. They were previously studied with the objective to find the trace concentration of iridium, to correlate the increased concentrations of iridium with meteorite impacts that have occurred on Earth. In this work the samples are reanalyzed with the purpose to investigate which other trace e
The democratic peace theory explains why liberal democratic states do not engage in war with one another. According to Michael Doyle, the theory rests on three pillars, which together explain the democratic peace - whereas one of which pillars is of interest for this thesis. The cosmopolitan pillar is concerned with the “spirit of commerce”, that is, international trade and economic interdependenc
Swedish municipalities carry the main responsibility for adapting to a changing climate, but receive little guidance from regional or national authorities. A municipal climate change adaptation plan can be used to get a comprehensive look at all areas of the municipality’s activities that will be affected by climate change and to better understand the implications and how to lessen the extent of d
Den här studien undersöker hur en lokal myndighet arbetar med strategisk kommunikation för att gynna jämställdhet. Strategisk kommunikation prioriteras inte alltid i arbetet, vilket är problematiskt då det har betydelse för jämställdhetsutvecklingen. Genom en fallstudie, med innehållsanalys och intervjuer, har jag studerat vilka faktorer som påverkar lokala myndigheters arbete med att kommunicerThis study examines a local authority’s work with strategic communication to promote gender equality. Strategic communications is not usually prioritized in gender equality work, which is problematic as it affects the progress. Through a case study, with content analysis and interviews, I have studied the factors that affect local authorities when they work with gender mainstreaming in their commu

Purpose: Today climate change is a important and debated subject. The purpose of this master thesis is to compare today's emissions to what might be possible in the future. T
This thesis is about how to design a secure intersection for pedestrian and cyclists. There are many people that take the car to the work instead of cycling because they don´t feel safe on the way to work cycling. This thesis strives to show which measures there are to make both the intersection and bicycle path safer and with a better comfort. This thesis also evaluates the studies in the literat
There is growing interest in using indigenous knowledge to supplement scientific early warning systems within disaster risk reduction. In October 2016, the government in Baringo County, Kenya incorporated indigenous knowledge in a drought scenario building and response-planning workshop. Specifically, three indigenous forecasters provided weather forecasts using star movements and goat intestines.
The humanitarian landscape experiences shifts towards local ownership of operations, increasing attention on the humanitarian-development nexus and the resilience paradigm in a New Way of Working, rising importance of regional and private actors, and pushes for changes in the landscape’s financial architecture. Emergency preparedness is a bridging element in these trends. The purpose of the thesis
