This research project examines how, by studying principles and systems that occur naturally among plants and animals, lessons can be learned that can be applied in the design of buildings to make them more sustainable. Based on the water shortage prevailing in the Spanish region of Valencia, I explore different ways of working with technical systems that extract water from air as architectural el

Diskrimination baserat på en patients etnicitet, kön och socioekonomisk status är en utmaning för dagens sjukvård. Trots att Sverige har blivit erkänt för sin jämställdhet och socialdemokratiska styre kvarstår tecken på diskriminering vilket kan leda till felaktiga sjukvårdsbedömningar.

Turkey, the country of failed and "successful" military coups, experienced the latest coup attempt on July 15, 2016, in which it is still unclear how, why, and by whom it originated. However, after this critical event, Turkish media and critical journalists were subjected to very strict censorship and repression.

The Swedish government has set the goal of achieving carbon-neutrality by 2045. The production of cement currently accounts for 8% of CO2 emissions worldwide, with a similar figure also true of Sweden. A clear government strategy is therefore needed to work with and provide support to the cement industry for decarbonisation. The most developed pathway for cement decarbonisation in the literature i
Environmental tax measures have the potential to be great tools for achieving sustainable development goals in the EU. The different dimensions of sustainability need to be balanced in order to achieve sustainable development goals.
