Numerous studies have discussed the importance of multilevel governance for enhancing climate action at the urban level. However, there remains limited knowledge on the proliferation of multilevel climate governance in the Global South. Addressing this gap, this study aims to explore the implementation of multilevel climate governance at the urban level through a case study analysis of three India
The thesis examines the truth and reconciliation commission in South Africa and its possibilities to act as a vehicle in the process of consolidating democracy. The norms and values that can be found in the principles and practices of the commission are scrutinized, and the means of presenting this norms to the public is also looked into. The issue of how to deal with the human rights violations o
Det här examensarbetet grundar sig på en översättning av en lättläst barnbok, som i sin tur är baserad på en myt från Snorres Edda. Uppsatsen inleds med en källtextanalys, som i viss mån utgår från Lennart Hellspong och Per Ledins (1997) modell, och som grundas på Göte Klingbergs (1977) teorier om bearbetning och översättning av böcker för barn. Därefter följer en kortare diskussion om övervägande
Etableringsfriheten för företag är en av de mest fundamentala rättigheterna i Lissabonfördraget. Fördragets artiklar utgör grunden för rättigheten och ger företag rätt att starta eller driva verksamhet i vilken medlemsstat som helst i EU utan att diskrimineras. Denna rättighet har ytterligare utökats genom införandet av nya företagsformer och genom harmonisering av bolagsrätten i ett flertal direkThe freedom of establishment for companies is one of the fundamental rights enshrined in the FEU Treaty. The provisions of the Treaty set out the basis for the right and give companies the freedom to take up and pursue activities in any Member State of the EU without being discriminated. This right has been further expanded through the adoption of new company forms as well as harmonised through se
This thesis is dedicated to the cinema art of Kira Muratova with the focus on the theme of grotesque. Kira Muratova shot films of different genres; mixing styles, creating a new reality of cinema, mixing audio-visualization of people with animals, classical literature with slang, including photography and pornography, installation, performance, opera and ballet. Due to this fact, her films provide
Ocean acidification, caused by the increased uptake of anthropogenic CO2, describes a change in the ocean’s carbonate chemistry. While its chemical processes are well understood, less is known about its biological and subsequently socio-economic consequences. However, there is evidence that marine organisms will be adversely affected by a decrease in pH and carbonate saturation levels. Fishery is
Ribs are widely employed in internal cooling passages of turbine blades to enhance heat transfer. From the mathematics, a fractal is an abstract object used to describe naturally occurring objects which exhibits similar properties with increased smaller scales. In a ribbed channel, originating from two sides truncated ribs, fractal truncated ribs are built and the evolving process contains three s
Voices today from the eighties – constructing peaceful citizensThe increased interest for questions of survival, focused in the fear for a nuclear war, also became the start for university courses and of Action research both in public schools, in Teacher Education and in the Universities in Sweden. The article is arguing that there are roots back to the 1960s and a continuity within Peace Educatio
Timely detection and surveillance of disease community spread is a potent tool for implementing effective public health interventions. This study investigates the National Telehealth Service (1177 helpline) across 18 regions in Sweden in 2020 to identify early signals of community transmission of COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic. Focusing on calls related to key COVID-19 symptoms (cough,
The current way of consumption and production is unsustainable in that society is exceeding the earth’s planetary boundaries and creating long-term and irreversible effects on an environmental, social, and economic level. There is a recognized need on all system levels to change the way that we operate. Industry is a key area that requires this attention, as it is largely responsible for the impac
A well-defined terminology of fire-related variables is important for correct analyses and supporting knowledge-based decisions regarding the evaluation of building fires at the European level. After developing an overview of current practices for fire statistics in Part I, the terminology used and the data collected by the EU Member States and eight other countries regarding fire incidents, prope
Coprolites (fossilized faeces) are common, yet previously unreported, elements in the Campanian (Upper Cretaceous) shallow-marine strata of Asen, southern Sweden. They are associated with a diverse vertebrate fauna and comprise at least seven different morphotypes that suggest a variety of source animals. Their faecal origin is corroborated by several lines of evidence, including chemical composit
d-Amino acids are increasingly being recognized as important signaling molecules in mammals, including humans. d-Serine and d-aspartate are believed to act as signaling molecules in the central nervous system. Interestingly, several other d-amino acids also occur in human plasma, but very little is currently known regarding their function and origin. Abnormal levels of d-amino acids have been impl
To deal with the problems resulting from the current unsustainable pattern of resource utilization, the material life cycle of plastics should be extended. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) has been increasingly adopted as a strategy to redirect the material flow, but its contributions to the market development of recycled plastics have not been well researched. Norway is one of the countrie
The aim of this thesis is to investigate and develop a three step path for considering an optimal strategy for companies wanting to trade on the projected GHG emission market in Lithuania. An optimal strategy here is defined by two factors: financial gains by the trading company and real GHG emission reductions. The investigation included a review of the literature on the theoretical prerequisites
The role of environmental permits as a driver for environmental improvements has been a topic of debate for a while. Many permitting regulations were designed in the 1970's and have not been updated since then. Consequently, they have acted mostly as a driver for the adoption of pollution control technologies. Some experts now see that appropriately designed and implemented environmental permi
In this thesis we attempt to explain the outcome of the 2000 referendum in Zimbabwe, where the electorate rejected a new constitution. The puzzling problem is that the people of Zimbabwe said NO to what many observers considered a constitution superior to the already existing. This case study is partly based on primary material collected in Harare as a part of a field study. Our analysis is based
