In the municipality of Ariccia, well-known in the region for its policies for sustainability, two contemporaneous projects aim to restore a degraded landscape long associated with historical, natural, and cultural meaning. The first, initiated
Uppsatsen undersöker hur förlagen presenterar och framställer sina deckarförfattare, både i marknadsföringens textuella beskrivningar och i fotografier av författarna. Studien är inriktad på de förlag som har den mest omfattande deckarutgivningen i Sverige idag och presenterar och analyserar främst återkommande men även vissa avvikande mönster som har kunnat urskiljas i framställningarna.

The aim of this study was to examine how nature-supported rehabilitation is portrayed and how the current discourses appear in a number of articles, reports and websites. The method that we used was critical discourse analysis by Norman Fairclough’s reasoning. The empirics were chosen from a targeted selection based on the purpose of the study. The distinguished discourses we found in the material
This study aims to collect, sort and analyze feminist symbols used during four demonstrations in Lund and Malmö on the International women’s day 2014. The theoretical focus lies upon how the participants in the study use the symbols as a tool for representation. The material consists of about 100 photographs taken during the demonstrations, in accordance to the method of photo-documentation, and 2
Introduction: In the last decade Business intelligence became increasingly important for organizations to adopt in order to compete in highly changing industries. The main purpose of the business intelligence system is to enable users to make and execute decisions better and faster. However, the success of business intelligence is not guaranteed. Users are defined as one of the main sources of the
This essay analyzes central directional documents of Swedish international development with the aim to analyze the problem representation of gender inequality, using Carol Bacchi's “What's the problem represented to be?”-approach to discourse analysis. Central for this essay's framework is postcolonial feminism pursuantly the understanding of Chandra Talpade Mohanty, as well as a criti
Parabens are a group of commonly used conservatives in cosmetics, foods and pharmasuticals. Although they have been widely used since the 1920s the effects of these substances are still not thoroughly understood. This literature review aims to enlighten the prevailing discussion regarding chemical safety using the precautionary principle. During the last decade a vast amount of research has been d
De senaste åren har det skett en stor omsättning av högre kommunala chefer. En del kan förklaras med pensionsavgångar, men en del har med något annat att göra. Tidigare undersökningar och forskning pekar på att vi har en kommunal tjänstemannaorganisation och politik i förändring, där trycket har ökat på både politiker och tjänstemän. En av riktningarna går mot en ökad politisk professionalisering
Climate change poses a current and ongoing threat to urban areas worldwide. Rising sea levels and the increased occurrence of heatwaves, heavy rainfall and related impacts due to erosion and landslides in particular are risks that are becoming increasingly urgent to address in the near future. Though Sweden is seen as a pioneer in sustainable city development, climate change adaptation is a relati
I enlighet med att vårt samhälle digitaliseras, kommer även skolan att vända sig åt en mer digital värld. Sverige driver en offensiv kamp mot att digitalisera undervisningen, vilket visar sig bland annat i läroplanen Lgr11 där IT ska löpa som en röd tråd i alla ämnen. Trots detta har vi författare sett en tendens till att de tekniska verktygen finns i klassrummen men inte används fullt ut. Lärarna
We investigate investor heterogeneity between private, institutional, commercial, government and foreign investor in the Swedish market. OLS-estimation using dividend yield and term spread as regressors reveal no clear results. VAR-analysis to investigate lead-follow relationships between investor groups indicate that foreign follows private and commercial investors, though the result is problemat
Denna uppsats handlar om hur distansarbetssättet via smartphone, Office Home Smartphone, påverkar balansen mellan det privata och det arbetsrelaterade livet. Här presenteras denna balans som Work Life Balance, även kallat WLB; vad det är, hur man uppnår det och om det är någonting att sträva efter. Även det ovannämnda arbetssättet Office Home Smartphone, även kallat OHS, presenteras; vad det ä
Organic polymer-based solar cells recently attracted much attention as an efficient and inexpensive light-to-electricity conversion solution. However, the mechanism behind charge generation processes in organic materials is still not fully understood due to complex nature of carbon-based compounds. Studies of charge generation, recombination and transport processes are essential for revealing the
Technological innovations within the field of sustainable energy production require a substantial amount of capital investment in order to conduct research and development. Crowdsourcing represents an innovative and new approach to raising the capital investment needed for sustainable technological innovations in the sustainable energy sector and is inherently entrenched with Transition Theory.

Abstract When a dung beetle has arrived at a dung pat, it soon starts to form a ball, which it will later roll away in a straight line. Rolling in a straight line ensures that the beetle will never risk rolling back to the fierce competition at the pat, thus eliminating the chance of getting its ball stolen by others. Before rolling out from the pat, the beetle performs an orientation dance on to
Aluminium alloys are used in a wide range of applications due to their high tensile strength concomitant with low density. Additionally, aluminium alloys form a naturally occurring and passivating oxide layer, which leads to high corrosion and weathering resistance. In industrial manufacturing, aluminium alloys acquire their desired properties through specially designed heating processes. A common
