Konsumtionen i världen ökar och det gör även halten av växthusgaser i atmosfären. Detta kräver högre resurseffektivitet och inom både EU och Sverige finns styrmedel som förespråkar ökad materialåtervinning. Trots detta saknas ofta källsorteringsmöjligheter i offentliga miljöer. I denna studie undersöks möjligheterna till ökad materialåtervinning i offentliga miljöer genom att fokusera på ett införThe global consumption is increasing and so are the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This requires a higher resource efficiency and legislation within the EU and Sweden is promoting material recycling to a greater degree than incineration of waste. In spite of this recycling stations can rarely be found in public environments. In this study the possibilities and effects of an increase

Trafikbrottslagens 5 § ålägger alla trafikanter, som är inblandade i en trafikolycka, att stanna kvar på platsen för olyckan och lämna upplysningar om händelsen. Uppsatsen undersöker om denna upplysningsplikt kan strida mot Europakonventionens sjätte artikel och skyddet mot självinkriminering, som innebär att en misstänkt person aldrig ska behöva bidra till utredningen om sin egen brottslighet. EuSection 5 of the Swedish Traffic Crimes Act, requires all persons involved in a traffic accident to remain at the scene of the accident and provide information about the incident. This essay examines whether the obligation to disclose certain information about the incident, may violate the sixth article of the European Convention on human rights and the protection against self-incrimination.

I Sverige möts vi allt oftare av rubriker om organisationer som hamnat i blåsväder på grund av o lämpliga uttalanden, kränkande reklam eller oetiskt handlande. Dessa firestorms, som ofta uppstår utan förvarning på nätet, medför stora utmaningar för organisationers marknadskommunikationsavdelningar. Denna studie är skriven inom fältet för kriskommunikation och har ämnat att studera dynamiken inom sIn Sweden, we increasingly face headlines where organizations are accused of inappropriate statements, offending ads and unethical actions. These firestorms, which emerge without any warnings, cause major challenges for organizations’ marketing communication. This thesis is written within the field of crisis communication, with an aim to study the dynamics of different Swedish paracrises. The rese

The study of home has historically been approached by numerous academic disciplines within the social sciences and humanities. However, increased international mobility and forced migration due to conflict in recent years has produced a renewed interest to understand the ways we conceptualize and (re)create home in foreign places. The present research aims to produce a theoretical framework that a

The present study is grounded upon the traditional concepts of cohesion and differentiation in fashion by Simmel (1904) and Bourdieu (1984). The study reviewed these concepts in the social context of sustainable fashion consumption, with consideration of identity construction and expression. Furthermore, the study looked at the literature on certification labels and their value for consumers. Due

This thesis investigates the legal professionals in Spain during the transitional period from the ancien régime to the liberal state, a period marked by institutional rupture, ideological conflict, and social reconfiguration. The study has the primary aim to understand how the legal professionals contributed, perceived, and resisted the extensive legal changes that took place approximately two cen

This work applied Bayesian Optimization (BO) for the task of calibrating methane-related parameters in the Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator (LPJ-GUESS v4.1). A Gaussian Process (GP) was used as the surrogate model within the BO framework. Additionally, other enhancements we applied to the BO framework such as the use of complexity-penalizing priors for GP hyperparameters and numerical

The purpose of the study is to contribute with new knowledge regarding the present-day preservation of video in Swedish archives, more specifically video as recorded on magnetic tapes. In the study a distinction is made between magnetic tapes and VHS-tapes, as the colloquial use of the brand name VHS is often used to categorize all magnetic tapes. The research questions centre on how the preservat

There are different kinds of foam with varying stability and appearance and a number of factors which affect this. The volume and the stability of the foam are important for the beer industry due to the fact that many consumers find this a measure of quality. There are many different methods for measurement of the physical properties of beer foam. Unfortunately none is used as a standard. A method

Ensuring energy security, eradicating energy poverty, and reducing GHG emissions from the energy sector are some of the key reasons why energy efficiency will be addressed in the Ukraine. The residential sector, being among the major energy consumers in the national economy, has a large energy saving potential. Multi-storey residential buildings currently require general refurbishment, and this fa

This thesis highlights the social mission of the public library by studying the relationship between public libraries and social work. The aim is to increase knowledge about how the presence of library social workers (LSWs) in public libraries can be understood in the light of societal changes, perceptions on the public library’s social responsibility, and how this presence can affect the treatmen

The aim of this research study was to examine the connection between motivation to lead and its antecedents – general and leadership self-efficacy, career anchors, and leadership experience. We also wanted to examine how the antecedent variables will make a significant contribution to the explanation of motivation to lead and its dimensions of affective identity, social normative, and noncalculati

The science of climate change stipulates that fossil fuels must be kept in the ground in order for earth's global temperature to stay below the 1.5 degrees' Celsius increase pre-ordained as safe for continued human civilization, and to avoid catastrophic natural, social, and economic disasters. Although this is a scientifically proven and agreed upon, governments around the world continue

Hearing is our second most important sense. The main focus of a surveillance camera is obviously the video but the audio shouldn't be neglected. It is possible to hear what the camera can't see and what is said in a conversation can't be showed in a video. Therefore there are good reasons to always try and achieve the best audio possible. This is not an easy task since cameras are oper
