This essay provides an insight into the situation in Israel today linked to the initial plan from 1947, on the division of the land area into a Jewish part and an Arab part. The area is characterized by armed conflicts both historically and in modern times. Four major Arab-Israeli wars have raged since the declaration of the state of Israel in 1948. Unrest is still raging along the Israel-Gaza-Wes

Human errors happen all the time, everywhere in the world. Most of the errors are corrected before there is an accident. But in a high risk organization such as the military there are often bigger consequences when an accident happens. This case thesis aims to investigate a connection between experience and the human factor complacency in the Swedish armed forces. It also aims to highlight complac

Stigande energianvändning och global uppvärmning har lett till en ökad efterfrågan av förnyel-sebara energikällor. Ett alternativ är att utnyttja avloppsvatten för att producera biogas. Avlopps-vatten kan därav ses som en resurs snarare än avfall. I biogasproduktion används anaerob ned-brytning där mikroorganismer bryter ner organiskt material till metan. Primär rening är första steget inom avlopThe global heating has resulted in rising temperatures and more extreme weather conditions around the world. In combination with increasing energy demands, this has led to an increasing demand of renewable energy. One option is utilizing the wastewater to produce biogas. There-fore, wastewater can be seen as a resource rather than waste. Biogas production is based on anaerobic digestion where micr

This case study seeks to understand why non-commissioned officers (NCOs) in the Swedish armed forces decides to leave the organization. The study uses two different theories; Herzbergs two factor theory which focus on work motivation and a theory called Job embeddedness which tries to explain voluntary turnovers and what makes employees stay or leave. The empirical material is gathered through dee

In the early 20th century liberalism had an upswing. New treaties were signed, and the everlasting peace had finally arrived. In the Far East, Japan was emerging from an agricultural society and making major leaps toward industrialization. They had huge demands in recourses like oil and steel. As an emerging power Japan wanted to compare themselves with USA, Great Britain, and Germany. Their imper

Åland's status as a demilitarized and neutralized zone has achieved customary status and is defended by all parties involved. The Åland solution was historically a way of disarming the risks of a militarized and fortified Åland in a way that all parties could accept. But at the same time, demilitarization means that the military threshold for an attack is low, which in itself creates security

Sweden is currently without a functioning system to secure the supply of food in crisis and war. After the Cold War, the security policy orientation was characterized by peace, disarmament and the dismantling of both civilian and military readiness capabilities. The former assessment that Russia could not pose a threat to Sweden and our neighbouring countries has recently fundamentally changed. Th

The present thesis conducts a case study that focuses on the complex TV drama Killing Eve and digital queer female fans of Killing Eve regarding their understanding of identities and queer relations represented in the series and their (dis)engagement with the series. This study draws on the tripartite frameworks of complex TV drama, LGBTQ+/queer studies, and digital fandom. The main objective of t

The main finding of this research is that it is unrealistic to expect that it is possible to create one common European understanding of the boundary between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour; it is only possible to achieve one common European just culture policy if there is one common European understanding of the term 'gross negligence' as introduced in The Regulation. The importance

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is quickly moving from mere imagination to material reality. As I write, billions of dollars are flowing into this nascent industry from government, philanthropy, and venture capital; this thesis thus attempts to grasp history as it flies. By employing a Marxist theoretical approach, including concepts like the real subsumption of nature and the spatiotemporal fix, I d

This study is concerned with understanding the impacts of the changed incentive structure introduced with the repartition policy in 19th century colonial Greenland. Using archival research, this study shows how the policy was designed to increase industrious behavior and caring for one another by introducing monetary incentives. By transcribing data on catch yield, it is for the first time possibl

Rwanda has experienced an increase in the frequency of riverine floods since the mid 2000s, and the future impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle is uncertain. Flood hazard analysis is one tool used to reduce flood risks; the analysis is often based on models which requires hydrological and meteorological data. New hydrological measurement stations have been installed at select locatio

Uppsatsen är en explorativ studie om hur det går till när hudvårdsprodukter marknadsförs på svenska livsstilsbloggar. Med hjälp av kritisk diskursanalys (CDA) undersöker jag vilka strategier som skribenter på svenska livsstilsbloggar använder när de marknadsför hudvårdsprodukter, samt vilka diskurser som etableras och utnyttjas i blogginläggen. Fokus ligger dels på hur skribenten bygger upp relati

This thesis examines the intersection between the cultural sector and international development in Mozambique, focusing on the practical implications of the increased attention given to the sector and the depoliticization processes that have emerged. Three research questions are addressed: - What are the practical implications of the increased attention given to the cultural sector by internationa

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

This qualitative case study provides a communication-driven perspective into the functioning of teleworking in the post-Covid Danish work society. Teleworking, performing office work outside of the conventional office space by using ICTs, became part of the modern-day work arrangement of many employees, mainly due to the severe effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the world economy. This study’s ai

The prevailing global climate transition is incentivized to occur in a short period of time. Hydrogen is considered a pivotal element towards a renewable energy system. However, the physical and chemical properties of hydrogen give rise to the risk of fire and explosion. This risk must be evaluated as hydrogen becomes increasingly integrated into society. This paper aims to investigate whether the

During the last few decades, satellite remote sensing has proven to be an important non-invasive method for archaeological research in order to detect ancient sites and manage existing ones. Archaeologists have tried in the recent past to embed Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and image processing techniques in their research as non-destructive approaches, which can allow a wider perception o

The poetry of Edith Södergran had a major influence on literary modernism in Scandinavia. The poems, and the person behind them, continue to intrigue. The authorship is divided into three periods; the second period is associated with the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche. In addition, several of Södergran’s earlier poems have been interpreted as inspired by Arthur Schopenhauer. In this thesis, I ex

Providing adequate climate finance, meaning funding for mitigation, adaptation or loss and damage, has been very high on the global policy agenda recently. The political economy and ecology behind it are much more complex and morally multidimensional than the mainstream finance world likes to present it though, which results in grave colonial injustices, international debt crises, deepened global
