Inspired by centuries of activists who used creative writing as a tool to encourage reflections and inspire change, this thesis looks at the possibility of poetry to be used as an environmental justice tool. In particular the ability of poetry from Nigeria to engage Dutch people with problems around Shell’s exploitation of the Niger Delta and its people, is investigated. Using decolonial and Criti
Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera statsansvar för folkmord, och gör detta mer specifikt genom att undersöka frågan om ansvar för medhjälp till folkmord samt mens rea elementet i folkmordsdefinitionen. År 2007 meddelade ICJ sin dom i the Genocide case, där en av de centrala frågorna för domstolen var ifall en stat kunde hållas ansvarig för folkmord under Folkmordskonventionen. ICJ konstateraThis thesis seeks to analyze the international responsibility of states for genocide, and more particularly does so by looking closer at complicity in genocide and the mens rea element of the definition. In 2007 the ICJ rendered its judgment in the Genocide case, where one of the key issues before the Court was whether a state could be held responsible for genocide under the Genocide Convention.
Data compression methods allow more data to be stored within a certain storage framework while still keeping the characteristics of the data in question. At the Large Hadron Collider on the grounds of CERN in Switzerland, limited data storage capability is and has always been an urgent problem. At the ATLAS experiment, one technique which allows researchers to save more data within the same storag
Planning for capacity in not just the production, but also in the supply chain, is important. Strategic long-term planning for the supply chain will affect how the company will be able to meet the demand. This Master Thesis will focus on the capacities within the supply chain at PolyPeptide and how they could be planned for in the future. PolyPeptide is a company that manufactures active pharmaceu
Matrix functions and their applications play an important role in different fields of science and engineering. The matrix exponential is one of the most important and extensively used function of matrices. The computation of the exponential of a matrix is an interesting topic that has been extensively studied over the years. There are several ways computing the matrix exponential but there is a pu
Gender diversity has gained a lot of attention in the corporate governance literature, reaching conflicting results whether board gender diversity has an impact on financial performance. As a consequence, we set out to investigate how board gender diversity affects financial performance through innovation using a mediation technique. We constructed three hypotheses grounded in the resource depende
The aim of this thesis is to widen the understanding of the gender pay gap by introducing the factor of sexuality. Same-sex couples have legal rights that are relatively new; how does our understanding of labor division and pay change when more data on queer people emerge? This is achieved by using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) from the year 2017 and making multiple regressions,
The largest use of fossil petroleum is the production of fuels. Hence, finding sustainable alter-natives is an important step to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. One such alternative is to produce fuel from biomass, such as waste products from agriculture and the forest indus-try. In Sweden, the forest industry is an important part of the economy. The pulp mills pro-duce an excessive amou
Due to both the effects of climate change and the high concentrations of infrastructure and socio-economic activity in low-lying areas in NYC, floods have the potential to destroy homes and businesses, impair infrastructure, and threaten human safety. Measurement, reporting, and verification are vital steps in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of a climate change adaptation efforts. Howe
Automatic label placement on maps has been studied for many decades. This study has addressed the problem of automatic label placement by applying the labelling library PAL for labelling static, large scale city maps which the map company T-Kartor produces. Label placement rules were acquired from an interview with a person from the company. These rules were then applied on the labelling. The aim
Since August 2017, more than 655,500 Rohingyas fled from Myanmar to Bangladesh escaping what has been categorized as an Ethnic Cleansing. Their legal status of stateless and non-recognized refugees in Bangladesh, combined with multiple violent encounters and their currently precarious living conditions in Bangladesh is what have turned the world’s attention to The Cox Bazar, where arguably the mos
To catalyse transition toward a more sustainable economy, the European Union is proposing several policy interventions within the regulatory framework governing the financial sector. As part of this effort, a new EU Eco-label policy for green investment funds seeks to (i) facilitate individual investor participation in the sustainable investment market and (ii) increase private sector investments
This thesis work aims to find a suitable environment for different virtualization system to achieve enhanced performance. Virtualization plays a vital role in cloud services, and it is essential to help cloud users comprehend the brief distinction between different virtualization technologies. The hypervisor-based technology has been used as the primary selection for cloud services in the past, bu
Behandling av avloppsvatten för att avlägsna ämnen som kan ha en negativ påverkan på den mänskliga hälsan och naturen är mycket viktigt innan vattnet återanvänds eller släpps ut i naturen. Intresset för anaerob vattenrening har ökat eftersom det är ett bra komplement till aeroba processer, samt för att det producerar energi i form av metangas. Målet med detta projekt var att undersöka hur olika dTreatment of wastewater is crucial for removing any compounds which can have a negative impact on human health and nature before the water is reused or released into nature. Interest in anaerobic treatment of wastewater has increased as it is a good complement to aerobic treatment, and it produces energy in form of methane. The aim of this project was to investigate how different operational para
Augmented Reality (AR) är på uppgång och många företag lägger miljontals dollar i branschen. Både Google och Apple har nyligen släppt sina egna AR SDK’er som kommer att köras på miljontals enheter inom en snar framtid. AR är verkligen fascinerande och har sagts vara nästa miljard-industri. Målet med denna avhandling är att undersöka vad som är möjligt med dagens AR för mobila enheter och undersökaAugmented Reality (AR) is on the rise and a lot of companies put millions of dollars into the industry. Both Google and Apple have recently released their own AR SDKs that will run on millions of devices in the near future. AR is really fascinating and have been said to be the next multi-billion-dollar industry. The goal of this thesis is to explore what is possible with today’s AR and what are th
Innovation är ett vidkänt koncept som har fått ökad betydelse i dagens organisationer. Uppmärksamhet har framförallt riktats till de initiala faserna av innovationsprocessen, kallade Fuzzy Front End (FFE). Att hantera FFE effektivt har blivit nödvändigt i utvecklingen av nya innovativa produkter, eftersom det kan minska cykeltider och kostnader relaterat till produktutvecklingen. Det är dock svårtInnovation is a widely known concept which has received increased importance in today's organizations. Attention has especially been directed to the initial phases of the innovation process, commonly referred to as the Fuzzy Front End (FFE). Managing the FFE effectively, has become essential in the development of innovative products, since it can reduce cycle times and costs related to product
Achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) depends on timely and reliable information. However, standardized methodologies and regularly available data exist for only 40% of the 232 indicators. The “Data Revolution for Sustainable Development” is supposed to bridge these data gaps by harnessing ongoing developments in information technology, particularly big data. Currently existing pil
This study explores the implications of an encampment policy - criminalising refugees’ mobility beyond the borders of a camp - for the potential of Cash Based Transfer assistance in protracted refugee situations. As the success of Cash Based Transfer assistance implies market availability and access to commodities, and certain interaction between the host community and refugee population, it is ar
