The European Union (EU) has laid down very clear objectives for the reduction of greenhouse gases in the hope that it will prevent or mitigate climate change. Political incentives are used to make the power industry adopt changes in order to reach these EU targets. In this thesis, some solutions that could help power companies meet the EU objectives are evaluated. Thermodynamic models have been de

The saying of Jesus in Matt 11:25–30 is often understood as a presentation of him as Wisdom personified or as wisdom teacher and great Revealer, influenced by the wisdom sayings in Sirach. The yoke of Jesus refers to his teaching/law, so the conclusion is that the teaching of Jesus is easy to perform or follow. Though the teaching role of Jesus is prominent in Matthew and his wisdom is underlined,

Examining renovation processes having reduced energy consumption as an explicit goal, this article considers how energy efficiency is made part of renovation processes, focusing on the planning and design phase. Interviews and participant observations of meetings have been conducted. Applying a framework developed in practice theory, we demonstrate the importance of understanding routines, technol

Inhibition of amyloid β peptide (Aβ) aggregation is an important goal due to the connection of this process with Alzheimer's disease. Traditionally, inhibitors were developed with an aim to retard the overall macroscopic aggregation. However, recent advances imply that approaches based on mechanistic insights may be more powerful. In such approaches, the microscopic steps underlying the aggregatio

Avskiljning, transport och lagring av koldioxid (CCS) är en intressant teknologi med förmågan att minska klimatpåverkande utsläpp inom industrisektorn. Denna teknik framhävs regelbundet på både internationell och nationell nivå som ett nyckelbidrag i kampen mot klimatförändringarna, bland annat förespråkas CCS-teknikens nödvändighet av både EU och IPCC. Användningen av CCS har även uppmärksammats Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an interesting technology with the ability to reduce carbon dioxide emissions within the industry sector. It is constantly highlighted within the international community as a vital tool in the fight against climate change. Some of those who strongly advocate for the use of CCS include the EU and the IPCC. This technology has also been deemed useful by Swedish au

Seagrass meadows are a vital part of the marine ecosystem surrounding the island of Mallorca, but human-induced pressures are degrading the seagrass meadows’ stock of natural capital. Although researchers are working together with policymakers to implement and improve conservation measures, the current legal framework is not sufficient to protect the meadows from further depletion. Therefore, I us

Lagstiftaren har gjort bedömningen att barn i åldrarna 15-17 år bör skyddas från vissa sexuella handlingar och därför har man kriminaliserat köp av sexuell handling av barn. För att ansvar ska kunna utkrävas måste gärningspersonen ha uppsåt ifråga om alla omständigheter utom barnets ålder, där måste denne endast agerat oaktsamt. Enligt 6:13 BrB kan en person dömas för köp av sexuell handling av ba

Precis som en viss färg kan beskrivas som en specifik blandning av grundfärgerna, så kan också en elektron också beskrivas som en slags blandning. Den här blandningen kan påverkas av ljus så att "mängden" av de olika komponenterna förändras. Det här är intressant att undersöka, för om vi vet vilka förutsättningar som gör att elektronen hamnar i en viss blandning, så kan man återskapa de

In 2003, the Kimberley Process, a public-private partnership gathering governments, the diamond industry and several civil society organizations, entered into force. This international scheme, aiming at fighting against conflict diamonds, imposed export bans on diamonds from the Marange Fields in the Eastern part of Zimbabwe and from the Central African Republic. Indeed, evidence of violations of

Title: Environmental antecedents and their influence on the tension between exploration and exploitation: The case of sustainability as a special example of environmental dynamism in the context of a technology-driven company Research question: How does sustainability as a special case of environmental dynamism influence managerial and organizational antecedents and thereby the tension of explora

The fashion industry is a significant contributor to global environmental and social issues. But as a system, it is composed of different stakeholders that can work together to make a change. One of those actors involved are small fashion labels, which according to the European Commission, account for more than 90% of the workforce and produce almost 60% of the value within the textile industry (2

Förutsägande om klimatförändringar och nederbördsmönster i den närmaste framtiden samt urbanisering leder till högre volymer av avrinning, vilket i sin tur utmanar hållbarheten och funktionaliteten hos stadsdräneringsnät. För att förstå hur dessa förändringar kommer att påverka den befintliga infrastrukturen i stadsområden behövs integrerad programvara för urban vattenmodell för att identifiera efThe predictions on climate change and precipitation patterns in the near future, as well as urbanization, lead to higher volumes of runoff, which in turn challenge the sustainability and functionality of urban drainage pipe networks. In order to understand how these changes will affect the existing infrastructure in urban areas, integrated urban water model software are needed to identify effectiv

Huvudentreprenörer anlitar idag underentreprenörer i större utsträckning än vad det har gjorts tidigare i bygg- och anläggningsbranschen. Underentreprenörer anlitas för att utföra speciella moment i ett projekt där det krävs spetskompetens samt för att stärka upp med arbetskraft hos huvudentreprenören. Eftersom underentreprenörer är vanligt förekommande i bygg- och anläggningsbranschen så är syftMain contractors today employ subcontractors to a greater extent than previously in the construction industry. Subcontractors are hired to perform special tasks in a project where there is a need for expertise and for strengthening the workforce of the main contractor. Since subcontractors are common in the construction industry, the purpose of this study is to identify crucial factors in a colla

Skuldsaneringsinstitutet kom till för att hjälpa överskuldsatta människor att lösa sina ekonomiska problem när det till synes inte fanns någon annan utväg. Den första svenska skuldsaneringslagen tillkom år 1994 för att möta de behov som bankkrisen under början av 1990-talet hade skapat. Efter det har skuldsaneringsförfarandet utvecklats och förenklats, och förra året kom den tredje versionen av skThe institute of debt reconstruction was founded as a last resort to help people who are heavily in debt to get their finances in order. The first law of debt reconstruction was founded in 1994 to meet the needs created by the banking crisis in the early 1990’s. After that the debt reconstruction procedure has evolved and simplified, and last year came the third version of the law of debt reconstr

Frågan om kriminaliseringen av köp av sexuella tjänster är med jämna mellanrum är uppe för diskussion och är därför ett ständigt aktuellt ämne. Efter 2018 års sexualbrottsreform går gränsen för ansvar för våldtäkt vid bristande frivillighet. Reformen innebar således en ökad möjlighet att döma för våldtäkt generellt, och därför även vid sexköp. Denna uppsats syftar därför till att utreda hur de tvåThe criminalization of purchasing of sex is always up for debate and therefore it is constantly a relevant subject. Since the 2018th sexual crime reform, the limit for criminal liability for rape has been the lack of voluntariness. The reform thus meant an extended possibility to convict for rape in general as well as in relation to the purchase of sex. Therefore, the aim of this essay is to inves

Guatemala is a democratic country in Central America characterized by many social inequalities which limits the quality of democracy in the country. This thesis is based on field research in Monterrico, on a local community in Guatemala, to investigate democratic participation on a local level, from an inclusivity perspective. This topic is investigated in relation to local development processes w

Current consumption patterns are not sustainable and are compromising the Earth’s carrying capacity and the future of next generations. Increasing sustainable consumption behaviours and practices are needed in order to decrease nowadays negative consumption impacts on the environment and achieve sustainable development. However, sustainable consumption practices are generally not performed as they
