Historically, animals have been excluded from the realms of political theory and political science. The underpinning disposition of this thesis is that animals belong in politics, considering it is the political processes and ideologies that determine our treatment of animals. The European Union started to legislate on the protection and welfare of farm animals during the 1970s. Over time, a slow

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to contribute to the knowledge on the use of risk management and especially ERM in different context. More specifically the aim is to find what similarities and differences there are in the use of ERM between public and private sector, as well as to find what variations there are within each sector. Methodology: The method used during this multiple case study,

North America, Western Europe, China, and India are today the greatest emitters of carbon dioxide. This research aims to compare the development of North America and Western Europe with the Chinese and Indian ones. It is a comparison of the key factors that affects the emissions of CO2 from fossil fuels. The key factors are the ones proposed by the Kaya identity, a particular type of decomposition

During fracture of membranes loading often produces buckles above and below the crack surface. This changes the stress state surrounding the crack-tip and stresses in the neighbourhood of the crack-tip posses a weaker singularity than r-1/2. As a result, fracture occurs when the crack-tip stress distribution is different as compared with that when buckling is artificially prevented.

Cities are the pinnacle of human change to the environment, creating unique types of ecosystems which present many challenges to local organisms: habitat fragmentation, introduced species, and various pollutants. Being crucibles of anthropogenic effects, urban ecosystems offer opportunities to understand how humans impact nature.

Sweden has during the past decades experienced increasing challenges in suburban, segregated areas: the inhabitants have different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds but despite that, face similar problems. Many inhabitants lack relevant networks as well as other opportunities to become a part of the society. These inhabitants claim they don´t have the “keys” to understand their society and i

This chapter visits some of the fundamental concepts from platform economics, network effects, and network externalities. Further on, it discusses definitions of two-sided and multi-sided markets, how they are treated as business models. These concepts are further compared to the concept service ecosystem. A case of a payment service provider whose business model contributes to the growth of e-com

Mobile bodies, travelling theories - Öresund / Gibraltar A webinar series on borderland formation at Europe’s antipodes 14 September, at 14.30 to 16.00 Territories beyond compare? An exploratory roundtable on the Öresund and Gibraltar borderlands Geovisualisations of borderland formation are hard to come by in both the Öresund and Gibraltar contexts. In this introductory roundtable, we ask: What e

Abstract: China’s development today no doubt has had the country placed in the centre of the stage. However, the past turns out to be the opposite if we look back. While the other major countries stepped into the industrial era it seems like China was still napping with its daydreams. In this paper we dig deeply into the political, economic and social aspects of the country at the time and we thin

This article researches what body descriptions are present within Swedish biohacking, what roots they have, and what overlaps they create between biohacking and other philosophical, political, and scientific discourses. As biohacking has become an increasingly popular subcultural influence incontemporary culture, not least when it comes to individual responsibility for ones health, the aim of the

6 oktober 2026 09:00 till 16:00 | Symposium Fourth annual symposium on regulation of AI from a European perspective Artificial intelligence is increasingly regulated through a growing and interconnected body of law. As the EU AI Act moves from adoption to implementation, attention is shifting from the text of the regulation itself to a broader and more complex question: how does the AI Act interac

With an increasing population, the demand for housing also increases. Due to renovation and retrofitting of the housing stock it is possible to give the future resident a modern housing and at the same time reduce the energy demand for the building. Reusing buildings is often a more sustainable way to develop housing because it results in less waste and lower carbon dioxide emissions compared to d

This report describes the development of a manufacturing process for creating custom-made prosthetic arm sockets using 3D scanning and 3D printing. The process is intended to function as a guide for a prosthetist without requiring an extensive experience in CAD. The project aims to offer a viable alternative to the often time consuming and manual labour-intensive conventional manufacturing method,
