Decrease of saline lakes, which comprise 44% of all available lake water, is a major concern. It additionally accelerates the desertification process of the region. Thus, various countries have taken different actions in protecting their lake water levels. The aim of this paper is to assess different strategies directed to tackle the decreased lake water levels in Lake Urmia and the Aral Sea, whic
In this paper, we develop a theoretical framework that explains how digital technologies can help small businesses generate competitive advantages for scaling. To gain and sustain competitive advantages, small businesses traditionally had to choose between cost leadership and differentiation strategies. Digital technologies enable small businesses to reduce their costs and at the same time enhance

Malmö Offspring Study – startade 1 mars 2013 och syftar till att kartlägga familjemönster bakom stora folksjukdomar på basen av gen-miljö interaktionLänk till MOS-webbsidaDet är välkänt att en rad stora sjukdomsgrupper tenderar att ansamla sig inom vissa familjer, men orsaken till detta är inte kartlagd. Dock vet man att den rent genetiska komponenten endast kan förklara en mindre del av detta fam

The war on drugs has failed. The 'world drug problem' is bigger than ever. The repressive law-enforcement policies are counterproductive. What now? A new approach is needed, one that accepts the fact that drugs cannot be eliminated from society, but focuses on the harm that it causes, so says science. But is the world ready to adopt this new approach? It does not seem to be the case. This
Confronting ecological crises is leading many researchers and academics to take a renewed interest in the deep past. The archaeological and climatic record are posed as a source of lessons that can be brought to bear on current issues of sustainability. IHOPE, or Integrated History and Future of People on Earth, presents one such effort, a collaborative and inter-disciplinary project with aims to
The main findings of this study are that the likelihood of achieving a successful exit increases if the investing firm is private and if the geographical distance between investing firm and investee is limited. Furthermore, it is possible to conclude that the Swedish Venture Capital industry share several features with international counterparts, although the importance of the IPO for the overall
Rapporten innefattar en detaljerad beskrivning och utvärdering av de existerande tyska och schweiziska nätverk för energieffektivisering. Baserat på resultatet, finns även ett förslag på en modell för energieffektiviseringsnätverk anpassad för Sverige som består av fyra faser: rekryteringsfas, energikartläggningsfas, nätverksfas och uppföljningsfas. Från studien drogs även slutsatsen att de viktig
Rapporten är en kartläggning av Tyska och Schweiziska nätverk för energieffektivisering och bygger på litteraturstudier och intervjuer. Utifrån vad som kommer fram i kartläggningen ges ett förslag på hur en svensk modell för energieffektiviseringsnätverk bör se ut.
In Sweden, the 10th most common occupation is professional cleaning. Cleaning workers are exposed to many risk factors including high physical workload and the development of new-onset asthma and other types of respiratory symptoms. This master thesis has been a part of a research project at the division of Ergonomics and Aerosol Technology (EAT), Lund University, in which the health aspect of cle
Terrorism är ett begrepp som sedan länge har varit svårt att definiera inom den internationella rätten. Trots omfattande internationell reglering har det inte vuxit fram någon övergripande och allmänt accepterad definition inom vare sig traktaträtten eller sedvanerätten. Mot denna bakgrund hävdade Specialtribunalen för Libanons överklagandekammare i ett beslut från 2011 att internationell terrorisThe definition of terrorism has long posed difficulties within international law, and despite extensive international regulation, no comprehensive and generally accepted definition has emerged under either treaty law or customary international law. Against this background, the Appeals Chamber of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon asserted in its 2011 Interlocutory Decision that international terrori
In this thesis, I aim to examine and expand on different IR theories in their attempt to explain and understand the emergence of the modern international order. To do that, I used a Heideggerian ontological analysis as an analytical toolkit, based on hermeneutical phenomenology as a method. To achieve my goal, I examine the Western history of Being from Plato to Kant using a Heideggerian perspecti
The present thesis outlines a frame to understand how agua-cuerpo-territorio enact spatial and narrative contestations in relation to water. Such ontologies are nourished identifying three main elements: memory, ancestrality and cosmoviviencias. Through an ethnographic work in Bolivia working with women territorial defenders and by using narrative practices approach I sought to uplift, ancestral
The thesis explores whether the precautionary principle can be reconciled with and integrated into the European Convention on Human Rights (“ECHR”), particularly in the context of climate change. It examines whether the European Court of Human Rights (“ECtHR” or “Court”) addresses climate change issues through the precautionary principle by including precautionary reasoning in its assessments. Th
This study examines how individuals attribute meaning to their self-tracking data and how they utilize these meanings in the self-management of their chronic disorders. Specifically, this study uses transcripts archived by the Quantified Self movement, which involves individuals using technology or various tools to collect data about various aspects of their daily lives, emphasizing self-tracking
The study of the dynamic interaction between pantograph and catenary by computer simulation is useful as it allows us to obtain much information about this system while minimizing the cost of line tests. With a program validated by the norm EN 50318, the behaviour of a pantograph-catenary couple at a certain speed can be accurately estimated. With the program INPAC, a parametric study on the curre
This thesis examines how psychological traits, specifically self-control and entrepreneurial passion, interact with entrepreneurial intention to predict entrepreneurial action among graduates of a Master's programme in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Lund University. Guided by the Rubicon Model of Action Phases, we distinguish between the formation of entrepreneurial intention (predecisiona
