Due to the climate crisis, more developing and emerging economies are considering to implement climate policies. However, since economic development remains high on their respective agendas, understanding economic consequences of such policies is crucial. The Porter hypothesis suggests in this respect that climate policy could benefit growth under certain circumstances by encouraging innovation, t
In recent years, digital technologies provided new affordances for movement leaders as communication strategies in political protests in order to advance democratisation processes, especially in less developed countries.

Med hjälp av en rättsdogmatisk metod analyseras författningarnas bestämmelser och potentiella skillnader. Europeiska kommissionen anser att habitatdirektivet vid sidan av fågeldirektivet är av avgörande
This qualitative case study explores through semi-structured Interviews the social and cultural impacts of the Makhoul Dam, planned as part of Iraq’s climate change mitigation work. It was based on the research question: How do local individuals experience the Makhoul Dam’s impact on their home environments including the surrounding archaeological sites? And supported by the two operational questi
Freshwater demand is expected to rise while supplies decline, putting pressure on water systems. Water conservation and determining potential alternative sources is imperative. The thesis aims to determine the effectiveness of greywater recycling as an alternative source in Sweden. Sörsjön was used as a case study and the roles of property owners and water utilities explored. The theory of planned
During the Swedish NATO negotiations, the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan once again raised the question of whether Türkiye could be welcomed into the EU. This thesis examines Türkiye’s shortcomings concerning their EU accession, focusing on the human rights of Kurdish people by answering the research questions: what is the state of human rights of the Kurd-ish people in Türkiye, and what c
Virtual 3D reconstructions of live sport events are on the horizon and to produce a high quality experience for viewers it is important that the movements of the 3D models look natural. Today, state of the art pose estimators produce data that con-tains noise, resulting in jittery animations with pose errors. The goals for this thesis were to evaluate the performance of a Long Short-Term Memory (L
Senare forskning kring fysisk aktivitet och träning visar en klar bild av dess positiva effekter på såväl kropp som sinne. Trots detta är en stor del av befolkningen fast i en stillasittande vardag. Denna studie har undersökt faktorer som ligger bakom ens motivation att träna. Denna uppsats har med hjälp av Expectancy-Value-teorin undersökt vilka träningsrelaterade mål som urvalet värderar högt ocRecent research on physical activity and exercise reveals a clear picture of its positive effects on both body and mind. Despite this, a large part of the population is stuck in a sedentary lifestyle. This study has examined factors behind one’s motivation to exercise. By using the Expectancy-Value Theory we’ve examined which exercise-related goals people value most, and to what degree they think
The use of radio-labeled somatostatin analogs, such as 177Lu-labelled DOTATATE, in PRRT, has based on the studies performed until now, shown to be promising for RNT disseminated neuroendocrine tumors [1]. In this regard, the aim of treatment is to assure the delivery of the highest possible absorbed dose to the tumor cells, while saving the normal tissues [1], meaning, to achieve a higher activity
An analytical reading of the Nigerian and South African online debate regarding China’s engagement in Africa is here presented, with the purpose to contribute with knowledge from an African perspective. This thesis is a qualitative textual analysis of ideas where I have classified arguments from blogs and articles into different categories, compiled by Chris Alden, to view China in Africa as a dev
The world has entered the Second Nuclear Age. New structures and dynamics are argued to be present within the context of nuclear weapons. The states India, Pakistan and China are three cases where the nuclear stockpiles are increasing and becoming more technological advanced. The hypothesis of this paper is that the increase of nuclear stockpiles in the cases is due to a dynamic characteristic of
This thesis investigates the strategic use of narratives in Chinese Buddhist public diplomacy to support the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Thailand. This study examines the different levels of narrative formation, including system, identity, and issue narratives, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that drive communication, persuasion, and influence in international affa
Okawangodeltat är södra Afrikas största våtmark och en av världens minst påverkade våtmarker. Kunskapen om hur våtmarkssystemet fungerar är begränsad, särskilt vad gäller halter av näringsämnen och omsättning av näringsämnen i de dominerande våtmarksväxterna. I den här studien presenteras analyser av kol- , kväve- och kiselhalter i Cyperus papyrus som är den dominerande akvatiska växten i stora deThe Okavango Delta is southern Africa’s greatest wetland and is among one of the most pristine wetlands in the world. There is moderate information about how this system functions, however, the research on nutrient concentrations and cycles is especially limited. This study provides new knowledge on the Okavango Delta by analysing samples of Cyperus papyrus, one of the main aquatic plants in the a
Scientific information is playing an important role in policymaking on climate adaptation by providing insight and guidance on efforts needed to reduce risks, respond to impacts, and build resilience. However, the extent to which science is influencing policy is questioned, as efforts being made are not reflecting efforts needed. Barriers in the interface between science and policy has found to be
Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the potentially increased risk of dislocation in patients with neurological disease who sustain a femoral neck fracture, as it is unclear whether they should undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hemiarthroplasty (HA). A secondary aim was to investgate whether dual-mobility components confer a reduced risk of dislocation in these patients. Methods We
