The United Kingdom’s response to the pressing biodiversity decline in England includes the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) policy and is operationalised through DEFRA’s Biodiversity Metric, which quantifies biodiversity into ‘biodiversity units’. This thesis evaluates how effectively the metric reflects real biodiversity outcomes at the rewilded Knepp Estate in West Sussex. Using 2005 as a baseline an

The disconnect that exists between what ‘should’ be prioritized in global governance and what actually is, is manifested in many fields, and it becomes shockingly apparent in global dealings with ‘climate vulnerable’ countries like Bangladesh. Of these fields, this particular study has scrutinized the development aid sector's conceptualization of 'climate issues' in Bangladesh using An

Den svenska förvaltningsmodellen har historiskt sett präglats av en hög grad av social och institutionell tillit. I dagens samhällskontext utgör emellertid denna tillitskultur, i kombination med Sveriges omfattande välfärdssystem, en strukturell sårbarhet. Kriminella nätverk utnyttjar i allt högre grad denna öppenhet för att infiltrera den offentliga förvaltningen inifrån. En central del av denna The Swedish model of public administration has historically been defined by a high degree of social and institutional trust. In the contemporary context, however, this culture of trust, combined with Sweden’s extensive welfare systems, constitutes a structural vulnerability. In recent years, criminal networks have increasingly exploited this openness to infiltrate public administration from within

Sedan andra världskrigets slut har relationen mellan USA och Europa varit central för den internationella ordningen. Under senare år har relationen dock präglats av ökade säkerhetspolitiska spänningar och förändrade utrikespolitiska prioriteringar mellan amerikanska administrationer. Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera hur Europa framställs i USA:s nationella säkerhetsstrategier från 2022 oc

This thesis explores how the heterotopic and liminal dimensions of Munich’s Oktoberfest produced differentiated visitor experiences, and how spatial, temporal, ritual, and social dynamics mediate feelings of authenticity, communitas, and belonging across visitor types. Adopting an interpretivist, social constructionist approach, the thesis combines semi-structured interviews with 15 participants a

The use of moment-connections with dowel-type connectors and slotted-in steel plates is becoming an increasingly used solution in mid- to high-rise timber structures. In this paper, the moment capacity and rotational stiffness of such moment connections have been studied through a limited experimental campaign with specimens climatised between 30% and 95% relative humidity (RH). The test specimens

The high-luminosity phase of LHC operations (HL-LHC), will feature a large increase in simultaneous proton-proton interactions per bunch crossing up to 200, compared with a typical leveling target of 64 in Run 3. Such an increase will create a very challenging environment in which to perform charged particle trajectory reconstruction, a task crucial for the success of the ATLAS physics program, an

Charged Higgs bosons produced either in top-quark decays or in association with a top quark, subsequently decaying via (Formula presented), are searched for in (Formula presented) of proton-proton collision data at (Formula presented) recorded with the ATLAS detector. Depending on whether the top quark is produced together with the (Formula presented) decays hadronically or semileptonically, the s

This paper describes an algorithm for reconstructing and identifying a highly collimated hadronically decaying τ-lepton pair with low transverse momentum. When two τ-leptons are highly collimated, their visible decay products might overlap, degrading the reconstruction performance for each of the τ-leptons. A dedicated treatment attempting to tag the τ-lepton pair as a single object is required. T

A search is performed for light, spin-0 bosons decaying into two photons in the 66 to 110 GeV mass range, using 140 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV produced by the Large Hadron Collider and collected by the ATLAS detector. Multivariate analysis techniques are used to define event categories that improve the sensitivity to new resonances beyond the Standard Model. A model-independent

We report resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of neon atoms interacting with intense x-ray pulses generated using an x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL). We find that an unexpected peak emerges near the Ka line of Ne, which does not coincide with any physical resonances of neon ions. We perform theoretical calculations based on a quantum-state-resolved rate-equation approach with x-ray
