Climate change, poverty, inequality and the increase of strict regulations - these are just a few of the factors contributing to the rise of sustainability in today’s corporate environment. As society and the worldwide population are affected by these omnipresent changes, it becomes inevitable for companies to transform their business models in order to respond to demands concerning sustainability

The construction sector is one of the biggest contributors to global CO2 emissions and buildings account for a significant part of the energy use in Sweden. Population growth in combination with economic development is putting more pressure on the environment, resulting in escalating consumption trends and larger quantities of raw material extraction. Policies and directives are promoting a circul

A confocal microscope is built to examine molecular powders, and in particular the (PhSn)_4S_6 cluster, that emits white light when irradiated with infrared laser light. The confocal microscope operating at long working distances is assembled and characterized. The components of the setup are first chosen according to requirements of the planned experiment. Thereafter, the microscope is assembled

Det här arbetet ger en enkel introduktion till teorin för så kallade Lie-grupper (uppkallade efter den norske matematikern Sophus Lie), som är en slags matematiska objekt som befinner sig i gränslandet mellan två av matematikens huvudområden: geometri och algebra. Å ena sidan kan Lie-grupper betraktas som släta mångfalder, vilket betyder att de är kurvor, ytor eller högre-dimensionella analoger In this work, we present some of the basic concepts and constructions in the theory of matrix Lie groups. For each matrix Lie group, we use the matrix exponential to construct a Lie algebra, and we then use the matrix exponential to show how different properties of the Lie group affect the Lie algebra and vice versa. In particular, we use the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula to prove a one-to-one

The sexual assaults reported on New Year’s Eve 2015 in Cologne and the reactions towards it have changed political and public opinion on the issues of migration, gender equality, and sexual violence in Germany. Based on theories from postcolonial studies, feminist studies, security studies, approaches on collective trauma, and emotion studies this thesis analyzes ‘Cologne’ as a trauma which has en

The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore female athletes experiences of being a women in a space that has historically been dominated by men: the gym. Using Sara Ahmed’s idea of orientation and spatiality it analyzes how sportswomen moves through different positions in different rooms, the position as a woman and the position as an athlete. The concept of orientation examines how differ

In many countries, GMO policy-making has been characterised with a lot of controversy, participation and trust being the most pressing issues. The ongoing Ghanaian GMO policy-making is not spared of the controversy. The GMO Bill which was introduced in the Ghanaian Parliament in 2013 remained unpassed amid accusations and counter-accusations between government-led groups and civil society-led anti

Ever since the dawn of internet, a new wave of fast-growing software companies has emerged. The M&A scholars have struggled to find appropriate valuation mechanisms for unprofitable companies with ultra-high revenue growth. To overcome the uncertain future, a contractual provision called earnout is often used. An earnout is a contractual provision in a M&A-deal that states the seller of th

Polymerer är långa kedjor av upprepade segment och finns både som naturliga polymerer (proteiner, DNA, gummi, och cellulosa) och som syntetiskt framställda polymerer (plaster, nylon, etc.). Många polymerer är känsliga för ändringar i deras miljö och termoresponsiva polymerer, som har studerats i detta arbete, ändrar egenskaper drastiskt vid ändringar i temperaturen. Vid en viss kritisk temperatur,Thermoresponsive polymers with a lower critical solution temperature, LCST, have attracted interest in the development of new ``smart materials'', which change properties in response to external stimuli. Polymers with an LCST near physiological temperatures are especially relevant in biomedical applications, most notably perhaps in drug delivery systems. The aim of this work is to investi

I dagens globaliserade samhälle väljer allt fler svenskar att bosätta sig utomlands och leva i en annan kultur än sin ursprungskultur. Det behövs därför mer forskning och kunskap kring utlandssvenskens upplevelser. Denna studie fokuserar på svenskar bosatta i Portugal för att undersöka den globaliserade främlingen. Syftet med denna studie är att på en mikronivå analysera individens egen upplevelse

The aim of this study was to examine how organisations present their arguments regarding international homosexual adoption. The material of this study consisted of texts and the analysis have been based on the arguments from referral responses regarding the bill SOU 2001:10 (Children in homosexual families). Four themes were identified that seemed to pay a significant role in discussion of the iss

Systematiska våldtäkter av kvinnor i väpnade konflikter är ingen nyhet, utan ett fenomen som drabbat åtskilliga kvinnor, under åtskilliga konflikter, under historiens gång. Men trots att våldtäkter i väpnade konflikter har varit ett utspritt problem, har fenomenet väckt förhållandevis lite intresse inom det internationella samfundet, och regleringar på området har vuxit fram i en långsam takt. UtWartime rape is old news, and most experts agree that for most of human history, war and rape have gone hand in hand. But although wartime rape is a centuries old phenomenon, it seems to have disinterested the international legal community for most of its existence. The current legislation regulating wartime rape in international humanitarian law (IHL) is decades, not centuries, old. This thesis w

The aim of this thesis is to by studies and analyses of the past, in this case an older real-catalog system used during the period 1930-1960 at the Folklore archive in Lund, learn and create understandings for the system used at the archive from 1991 to today, which is a text database system. By this create understandings of how an organisations history can affect and influence the present, and wi

Uppsatsens syfte är att belysa hur psykiskt störda lagöverträdares straffrättsliga ställning förändrats över tid. Framställningen fokuserar på att studera hur de straffrättsvetenskapliga skolornas ideologiska synsätt påverkat den svenska lagregleringen avseende straffansvar och påföljder för denna grupp i 1864 års strafflag och 1962 års brottsbalk. Därutöver undersöks vilka av skolornas idéer somThe purpose of this essay is to investigate and illustrate how the legal status of mentally disordered offenders has differed over time under Swedish law. Specifically, the focus is to investigate how the different dominant schools of the discipline criminal jurisprudence have influenced the legislation with respect to criminal liability and choice of penalty regarding mentally disordered offende

Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för de olika lagändringar som gjorts av våldtäktsbrottet sedan brottsbalken infördes år 1962. Det är en rättshistorisk undersökning av vilka ändringar som gjorts, vad som låg till grund för att dessa ändringar gjordes för att till sist uppmärksamma dagens samhällsdebatt kring införandet av en samtyckesreglering. Brottet våldtäkt har sedan brottsbalkens inföThe purpose of this essay is to analyze how the different legislative amendments have changed regarding to the crime of rape since the penal code was introduced in 1962. It is a study of the legal history and the changes that has been made, what the bases for these changes were in order to observe why the current debate of whether we should introduce a requirement of consent has aroused. Rape has,

Denna tvärvetenskapliga uppsats behandlar brotten mord och dråp som stadgas i 3 kap. 1 § och 3 kap. 2 § i BrB. Mord och dråp utgör två svårhetsgrader av uppsåtligt dödande, där det förstnämnda är normalgraden av uppsåtligt dödande medan det sistnämnda definieras som mindre grovt med hänsyn till bland annat de omständigheter som föranlett gärningen. Genom denna uppdelning hävdar lagstiftaren att This interdisciplinary essay deals with the crimes murder and manslaughter, which are regulated in chapter 3 § 1 and § 2 in BrB. Murder and manslaughter are two degrees of intentional killing. The former is the standard level of intentional killing while the latter is defined as less serious considering, inter alia, the circumstances that caused the action. By this division the legislator assert
