In response to the pressing need to address climate change and reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, this study implemented Gaussian Mixture Models Clustering to detect the levels of GHG emissions and related socio-economic factors in 174 countries. To handle the panel data, Principal Component Analysis was conducted to achieve dimension reduction. Based on the algorithm, countries were gr
There are mainly three different international legal obligations regarding child soldiers in internal armed conflicts. The prohibition from child recruitment, to provide special protection for children and protection from taking part in hostilities. All are applicable to States but it is less clear which of them apply to non-state actors. In order to determine if these obligations are applicable t
Den tekniska utvecklingen innebär att det finns nya sätt att kränka en annan person som inte överensstämmer med de tillvägagångssätt som tidigare avsetts i svensk straffrätt. Förevarande uppsats är en undersökning av straffbara ofredanden på sociala medier. Utredningen görs med utgångspunkt i den kritik som riktats mot svensk lagstiftning. Två bestämmelser som kan aktualiseras när brott begås via Due to the technical development, new ways of violating another person has been created. These ways do not comply with the procedures previously set out in Swedish penal law. This essay is an investigation of criminal offenses carried out on social media. The research is based on the criticism raised towards Swedish legislation. Focus lies on two provisions, molestation and sexual molestation acco
It is widely recognised that the two major challenges of the 21st century are climate change and poverty. The building sector is responsible for over a third of all global carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, we see vastly overcrowded and rapidly growing informal settlements in developing countries, where people lack the basic right to decent shelter. This is simply not sustainable and forc
Both the pandemic and Euro crisis posed social risks in terms of unemployment and poverty. Yet, we see a more socially focussed crisis response to the pandemic, whereas the Euro crisis mainly neglected social policy. My thesis asks in how far such social policy crisis response variation can be understood. Hitherto literature usually focusses on instiutionalist arguments that are unable to bridge s
In the globalised world there is a keen competition market prevailing, which request higher demands on the entrepreneurs within the building sector. Research shows that 30-35 % of the production costs on the building sites is waste, which means non-profit value for the costumer. This example shows both hidden and visible costs, which has been identified on building constructions sites. To reduce t
Most modern ultrafast lasers are based on mode-locked fiber or solid-state lasers and operate around the near infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The widely spread CPA based Titanium Sapphire lasers can emit pulses centred around 800nm with durations down to 20 fs. However, for many ultrafast experiments light at different centre frequencies are required. In order to obtain other centre
Dagens svenska våldtäktslagstiftning kräver att gärningsmannen använt sig av tvång eller utnyttjande för att straffansvar ska föreligga. Det har ifrågasatts om denna utformning av våldtäktslagstiftningen istället borde ersättas med en bestämmelse där samtycke ges en avgörande betydelse. Med en samtyckesbaserad våldtäktsreglering skulle den utslagsgivande faktorn för om ett brott har begåtts eller The Swedish rape legislation of today uses force as the delineator between non-criminal sex and criminal rape. It has been heavily disputed whether or not the force-based legislation ought to be replaced with the use of consent. In that case, consent or the lack of it would determine what is lawful or unlawful, regardless of any use of force. Despite the fact that the Swedish regulations on sexua
This thesis is concerned with women’s education and the perceived effects it might have on households’ livelihood diversification into the rural non-farm economy. In addition, it looks at household welfare and how women’s education and potentially livelihood diversification adds to better welfare. Increasing human capital through education is thought to have positive outcomes for women in their ro
Purpose The purpose of the report is to look into the effect of changing from air shipments to sea shipments at Tetra Pak Technical Service AB and the economical and environmental impact of such a change on the supply chain. Methodology The report is carried out by collecting the data regarding the different transportation modes in interviews with responsible persons within Tetra Pak and the trans
This study intends to place the literary and cultural criticism of the Finland-Swedish writer and critic Hagar Olsson during the period 1918 to 1948 in the context of the history of ideas in Scandinavia and the rest of Europe and America at the time. While doing so she appears at the frontline of the modernist movement in Swedish literature, both as a critic and a writer, that which is often negle
The Influence of Intergenics in an Important Environmental Cycle As we step forward into the future there is increasing attention toward our impact on the planet and specifically of late debate, our climate. With the carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere rising at a quick pace and the ocean’s acidity increasing, largely due to the industrial revolution, what environmental influences will we be l
In Sweden, a number of companies have started viewing risk management from a holistic perspective rather than a silo-based one. This holistic approach is referred to as Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Research on ERM has mainly focused on the implementation process and whether it can be value adding for shareholders. This study is designed to look at why companies decide to implement ERM and wha
Escherichia coli (E. coli) can cause disease in both humans and animals. For poultry, avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) is a common problem. Even birds living in apparently healthy flocks die from infections caused by E. coli. To help increase the health of poultry a new aerosol vaccine formulation based on outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from E. coli was evaluated using ELISA to compare the amount o

This study investigates xenoliths present in various dykes on Tenerife, the Canary Islands. These xenoliths were studied by means of fieldwork, petrographic analysis, scanning electron microscopy, laser fluorination, and LA-ICP-MS. In conjunction these analyses enable the understanding of the magmatic structures beneath the Anaga massif, with a conceptualisation of the formation of this volcanic s
Bathing in natural and artificial bodies of water has been an integral part of human history. Establishments dedicated to bathing has served as cultural cornerstones, important religious sanctuaries and social arena, providing relaxation, hygiene and strengthening communities when running water and indoor plumbing wasn’t accessible. Even if these places are in decline due to commercialization of b
The aim of this study is to identify perceptions, gender stereotypes and stigmatization surrounding female substance abusers on the internet forum Flashback. Sweden is often lauded as one of the most gender-equal countries in the world. Despite this, there are gender equality issues that can be traced to how men and women are treated differently in society. This also applies to perceptions of subs
Innovationshöjden för automatiska skjutdörrssystem under de senaste årtionden har resulterat i högteknologiska automatiska skjutdörrar, där tillbehören och användargränssnitten inte har utvecklats i samma utsträckning. Det har lett till att programväljare för skjutdörrar blivit omoderna och svåranvända för användarna. Syftet med denna masteruppsats var att tillsammans med ASSA ABLOY Entrance SysteThe innovation of automatic sliding door systems over the past decades has resulted in high-tech automatic sliding doors, where accessories and user interfaces have not been developed to the same extent. As a result, operating mode selectors for sliding doors has become outdated and difficult for users to operate. The purpose of this master’s thesis was to propose a new design for operating mode s
CO oxidation over Pd(100) is studied with ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS). Cyclic gas composition pulsing of the CO:O2 ratio, combined with a new method using software based event-averaging by image recognition over many pulses, is used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio substantially. Hereby, it becomes possible to follow the dynamics of Pd(100) restructuring between a
