Few industries have as profound an impact on the natural environment and local and regional development as mining does. This work is premised on the notion that sustainability principles can be applied to mining development toward ensuring it contributes to and does not undermine sustainable development. This research focuses on large-scale mining in the Yukon Territory of northern Canada. The Yuk

This paper explores freshwater reservoir greenhouse gas emissions from a policy perspective. Existing science on reservoir emissions indicates that reservoirs can emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases and this is of particular concern for tropical reservoirs. Current scientific knowledge has led to some precautionary policy measures, but, in general, policy development has been slow. At the

There is a significant risk that the current pro-environmental efforts embedded in the prevailing paradigm (shallow ecology) will not be sufficient to solve the increasing number, severity and urgency of environmental/societal challenges – at least they appear to be unable to solve the problems in time. Through literature review and case studies, this thesis author explores how humans having direc

Sustainability reporting became a favorable practice for corporations from different sectors all around the world, not only because of its value as a means to track the performance of one’s company, but also as a tool to communicate the performance to all involved stakeholders in any corporation. This paper focuses on sustainability reporting in the healthcare services sector with a focus on priva

In the pursuit to abate climate change, multilateral approaches have been the prevailing weapon of choice. The goal of these approaches has been to reduce emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases to avoid dangerous anthropogenic climate change. Recent assessments of emission sectors show that 20% of emissions are caused by deforestation and degradation of tropical forests. Hence, a new forest r

The purpose of this master’s thesis is to develop a product, which eases the situation for people with neck disorders, when sitting for long

The object aim of this study was to examine how the people that work on schools look upon their school programs against bullying. We also want to compare the circumstance and the differences between Olweus, an evidence-based practice, highly structured program, and other existing methods of program. Schools nowadays are by law obligated to work actively against discrimination, insults and bullying

The study will be focusing specifically on the impacts that these entrepreneurs have had on the UK (regional) economy. In the last 20 years we have seen a wealth of studies analyzing the determinants of entrepreneurship. Though some of these studies are theoretical (e.g. Holmes and Schmitz, 1990), others are empirical (e.g. Evans and Leighton, 1990). The impacts of entrepreneurship, in terms of ec

Nigeria’s inability to use its resources to increase the country’s development status has raised questions about the leadership within the country. Investigations show though that there is a not much research performed on leadership within developing countries. The objective of this study is thus to contribute to existing leadership literature’s ability to understand leadership in Nigeria. This is

Efterbildning förekommer på alla plan i samhället. Inom immaterialrätten kan en näringsidkare erhålla omfattande ensamrätt för en prestation eller ett kännetecken. Marknadsföringslagen (MFL) fungerar i praktiken som ett komplement till immaterialrätten där användandet av en efterbildning vid marknadsföring kan utgöra otillbörlig marknadsföring. Det finns inget hinder mot att inneha ensamrättsligt Replication exists at every level in the society. Intellectual property law can give a businessman an extended sole right to a performance or a trademark. In effect the Marketing Act works as a complement various Intellectual Property Rights, where the use of a misleading replication also constitutes an unfair marketing practice. No right holder is precluded from starting legal proceedings both un

Today wind power developers are exploring the possibilities of establishing wind turbines in forest areas, therefore improved sound prediction models for complex terrains are valuable. The Swedish model used today is only applicable for hard flat ground without any vegetation, and is not adjustable to any meteorological parameters except the wind speed. The companies DELTA, DONG Energy and EMD Int

Denna uppsats handlar om ifall arkeologernas syn på allmänheten överensstämmer med bilden allmänheten har på sig själva. Genom att säkerställa detta går det att utveckla vår kommunikationsförmåga mellan grupperna, då det är mer givande att ha ett samtal med någon när man har samma föreställning om ämnet. Resultat av min undersökning visar att arkeologer och allmänheten är överens på de övervägande

I min studie problematiserar jag hur omhändertagandet av fornlämningar varierar, med utgångspunkt från kända och okända lämningar. Omhändertagandet har många olika aspekter; allt från röjning av vegetation, förhinder av slitage och publikanpassning till tillgängliggörande, synliggörande och bruk av fornlämningen. Jag jämför en känd lämning, Ales stenar, med mer okända lämningar; gravhögar ur varda

Located in the southern most part of Sweden, approximately five kilometres from Lund, is a small village called Uppåkra. However, for 1000 years during the Scandinavian Iron Age this was one of the largest settlements in Scandinavia. It is believed to have been a place of special significance, a religious and political centre as well as an important place for trading goods. Since the mid 1990’s, a
