With his notion of original affirmation, Paul Ricoeur wishes to reinstate the primacy of being over nothingness, joy over anguish, and affirmation over negation. Having adopted the term from Jean Nabert, he draws from the tradition of French reflective philosophy to formulate his conception of the originally affirmative nature of existence. Ricoeur argues that positive values can be found in and t
This study aims to identify the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly retrofit solutions for enhancing the energy efficiency of second homes in Sweden. Second homes, often used intermittently throughout the year, represent a significant portion of residential energy use and carbon emissions. Therefore, optimizing energy consumption in these homes is critical for achieving national and g
This essay investigates the UN's legitimization of the MINUSTAH mission in Haiti and examines how colonial power hierarchies have been reproduced through the mission. By applying a critical discourse analysis (CDA) and Carol Bacchi's WPR-approach, the study analyzes resolutions 1542, 1576, and 1892 to identify the use of language that frames Haiti as an unstable and weak state, depicted as
Soil moisture (SM) is an essential climate variable that controls fundamental hydrological and climatic processes. Soil moisture products derived from microwave remote sensing often provide measurements at low spatial resolution and incomplete temporal records. This thesis presents a novel method for estimation soil moisture at both high spatial and temporal resolution by using a deep learning rec
Microgrids and distributed renewable energy have the potential to facilitate management and adaptation for climate change. While research on microgrids has been developing for the past decades, further studies are necessary to expand on business models and scenarios which lead to their successful commercialization and implementation. This study applied the business model canvas as an analytical fr
This thesis is a narrative analysis of four opinion-based texts associated to the symbolic meaning of the Øresund Bridge between Sweden and Denmark. All four texts were written in Swedish newspapers in connection to the twentieth anniversary of the inauguration of the bridge. The primary purpose of the study is identifying which symbolic narratives are formulated in the four texts and in the analy
The e-commerce sector in the modern, digital age is an increasingly important component of the global economy. For the European union, coping with this emerging market has meant regulatory challenges in several legislative areas, not least in the field of taxation. One of the most recent initiatives in removing obstacles for the e-commerce is the so-called VAT e-commerce package. The VAT e-commer

The essay When the victim of a crime is the only evidence aims to discuss a matter that for many seem to be the hardest task for the court of law&semic as the assignment to reach a verdict in situations where words stands against words and no other direct evidence are to be found.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the American nature writer Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) writes about nature, and natures role for the human emotions. The study takes basis in one of the writer’s most famous works – Walden; or, Life in the woods, from 1854, which he wrote after he had been living in a small cottage in the woods around walden pond for over 2 years. In the years before
Bakgrund: Det finns ett samband mellan sittande och ohälsa. Stillasittandet har idag blivit en stor del av människors vardag. Både barn och vuxna tillbringar grovt uppskattat 60 % av sin vakna tid i stillasittande. Forskning har gjorts som pekar på att en bra stol minskar problemen med olika typer av smärta som uppstår vid längre tids stillasittande. Dock finns det väldigt lite forskning på om rät
Sammanfattning Bakgrund Nedsatt styrka i höftmuskulaturen är en vanlig konsekvens vid smärta och skada i höft- och ljumskregionen. Efter en sådan skada är det av vikt att ha en kliniskt användbar och reliabel mätmetod för att utvärdera rehabilitering och på så sätt veta när idrottaren kan återgå till tidigare aktivitet samt minimera risken för ny skada. Manuell muskeltestning (MMT) används framför
Längs Kaledonidernas östra erosionsfront finns den världskända bly- och zinkfyndigheten vid Laisvall (totalt 64 miljoner ton bruten malm) och mineraliseringen vid Granberget samt flertalet mindre malmkroppar av impregnationstyp bestående av blyglans och zinkblände som kristalliserat i klastiska bergarter. I äldre litteratur har mineraliseringsprocesserna och tidsspannet för mineralisationen diskutThe eastern Caledonian erosional front hosts the world-class Pb-Zn deposit at Laisvall (64 Mt mined) and Granberget mineralization, northern Sweden, along with several other smaller, related types of deposits consisting of impregnation mineralization of galena and sphalerite in clastic host rocks. Previous work have discussed the nature of the ore-forming processes and constraints for the timing o
Bestämmelsen om grov fridskränkning och grov kvinnofridskränkning infördes år 1998 i 4 kap. 4 a § brottsbalken som ett led i samhällets åtgärder för att bekämpa mäns våld mot kvinnor. Under senare år har framförts åsikter om att fridskränkningsbrottet bortser från en viktig dimension, nämligen det våld som utförs mot husdjur i syfte att skada det mänskliga brottsoffret. Enligt forskning begås sådaThe penalty clause about gross violation of integrity and gross violation of a woman’s integrity was introduced in Swedish law in 1998 as a means to combat domestic violence. Although, in recent time it has been suggested that the penalty clause disregards an important dimension, namely the violence against pets that is performed in order to hurt the human victim of crime. Research has shown that
Uppsatsen behandlar svårigheterna för oligopol att beakta varandras beteenden, då detta kan anses utgöra ett samordnat förfarande. Att på ett självständigt och intelligent sätt anpassa sig till andra företags beteenden är något helt tillåtet i konkurrensrätten, och begränsas inte av EU-rättens artikel 101.1 i fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktionssätt. Problematiken uppstår om kommissionen stöThis essay examines the fine line between parallel behaviour of companies active in an oligopolistic market and concerted practices. Enterprises are fully permitted to independently and intelligently adapt their behaviour to the actions of their competitors, since this conduct is not illegal according to article 101.1 in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. However, the Commission
GIS Section of Street and Park department of Malmö Municipality continuously receives new spatial data from different contractors that need to be saved to the GIS section traffic database. Due to spatial relationships and daily updates of traffic database, it is evident that the traffic database requires more consistency and integration in an automatic way. Since there is a spatial and conceptual
Anthropogenic use of nitrogen and phosphorus causes a risk to aquatic ecosystems and hence the livelihood of humans. To tackle this issue, the European Union have imposed environmental obligations on its member states to higher the quality of the aquatic environment. As a member state, Denmark is partly fulfilling these objectives by re-creating wetlands in the landscape, which retain and remove n
This study explores author texts on public libraries in the United Kingdom between the years 2010 and 2018. The texts appear in a national public debate about the value, purpose and direction of the library service following a significant number of library closures and funding cuts. These were the result of the global financial crisis of 2007 and 2008 and the subsequent implementation of the auste
Technical standards often implicate patented technologies. This poses a risk of patent hold-up, whereby a standard essential patent (“SEP”) holder opportunistically exploits its market power conferred by standardization and demands excessive and possibly differential royalties from implementers of the standard. Commitments to license on fair, reasonable, and non- discriminatory (“F/RAND”) terms im
