As interest in social vulnerability to hazards grows, more indices are formulated for identifying and mapping population groups that may experience differential consequences from natural hazards. However, less attention has been given to the underlying choices researchers make when creating these indices. With the aim to contribute to understanding the issues surrounding social vulnerability indic

Köp av bostäder skiljer sig från många andra avtal som träffas av en privatperson under dennes liv och för många enskilda är köp och försäljning av privatbostad av stor ekonomisk betydelse. Uppsatsens syfte är att utröna några av de civilrättsliga konsekvenser som falsk budgivning kan få på ett köpeavtal om fast egendom. Köp av fast egendom regleras i jordabalkens fjärde kapitel och skiljer sig The purchase of housing differs from many other agreements which an individual is confronted by during her life, and for many individuals, the purchase and sale of private housing are of major economic significance.

Den 25 maj 2018 träder den nya dataskyddsförordningen, GDPR, ikraft. Syftet med GDPR är att skydda enskilda personers rätt till personuppgifter. GDPR kommer att ersätta det nu gällande Dataskyddsdirektivet, vilket i svensk rätt huvudsakligen införlivats genom PUL. GDPR speglar i större utsträckning den digitaliserade värld vi lever i. En stor förhoppning med GDPR är att de nu rådande skillnaderna On the 25th of May 2018 the new data protection regulation will take effect. The purpose of GDPR is to protect people’s personal data. GDPR will replace the current data protection directive, which in the Swedish judicial system has been implemented through PUL. GDPR more closely reflects on the digitalised world we live in today. A great hope with GDPR is that the current differences in the level

Euler diagrams are common and intuitive visualizations for data involving sets and relationships thereof. Compared to Venn diagrams, Euler diagrams do not require all set relationships to be present and may therefore be area-proportional also with subset or disjoint relationships in the input. Most Euler diagrams use circles, but circles do not always support accurate diagrams. A promising alterna

This paper examined the language attitudes of native English speakers recruited from Reddit toward two native and two non-native English accents using the verbal-guise technique and speech audio files from The Speech Accent Archive (Weinberger, 2017). The two native English accents are General American (GA) and Received Pronunciation (RP). The two non-native English accents are German- and Mexican

Deformationszonen kallad ”Frontal wedge” är ett system av N-S branta och vertikala deformationszoner i gränsen mellan Svekonorvegiska och Sekorareliska provincen, i södra Sverige. Ursprung av dessa strukturer är inte fullt förstått och under de senaste årtiondena har endast ett fåtal undersökningar gjorts på dessa deformationszoner. Det finns flera olika tolkningar och modeller för bildandet av st

Food waste could cause problems in society, the economy, and the environment, which is regarded as a global problem. In advanced countries, the majority of food waste happens in the retailer-consumer interface. Commercial digital food sharing platforms (CDFSPs) as a part of sharing economy could help save food from ending up in the bins in the business-to-consumer (B2C) context. This thesis focuse

Shared micro-mobility services are increasingly embraced by cities around the world in recent years. Their benefits over other transportation modes in certain frames encourage traffic/urban planners, public authorities to establish such systems in urban areas. However, planning the placement, size and operation of such beneficial micro-mobility mode is a vital issue that concerns designers. Severa

In the past decades, community renewable energy (CRE) has significantly contributed to the uptake of renewable technology to decarbonise Germany's electricity sector. Meanwhile, the primary source of household emissions – heating – is still highly dependent on fossil fuels, especially gas. With Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the decarbonisation of heating becomes an even mo

This thesis concerns the refugee debate in Denmark. The study is a comparative case study in order to examine different aspects of the refugee debate. The aim of the study is to investigate the different approaches with focus on the reactions to the movement of refugees in 2015 and the war in Ukraine in 2022. The study aims to highlight how the refugees are portrayed in the Danish debate and explo

Planet earth is getting hotter and regional climates are becoming increasingly unpredictable across the globe. Cities and communities on all continents are already impacted by the changing climate, but also by two other crises – the fossil-energy decent and the 6th mass extinction event. These three complex and interconnected crises all increase the risk of food becoming a scarce resource. In fact

This study will aim to test two different theories on the subject of interest groups and their political work, against a case of a large Swedish interest group. The aim is to see if these two theories are applicable on this case, and if so, they can help to better understand the subject of interest groups and political influence. The first theory of the study is a bit more evolved and gives room f

Due to the public health threat that antibiotic resistance poses to humanity, there is increasing interest for understanding the mechanisms behind the development and transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in different environments. Soil is one of the largest and most diverse microbial habitats on earth and represents a vast terrestrial reservoir of organisms with tolerance to antibiotics.

The fact that solitary migratory birds can find their migration routes has indicated the possibility that a genetic basis may be involved in determining the route of migration. Researchers have also found evidence to investigate this hypothesis in various ways. The focal species of this study is the willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus), which has three described subspecies (trochilus, acredula

I ett antal år har EU-domstolen fått ta ställning till den potentiella konflikt som existerar mellan EU-rätten och reglerna inom WTO. En särskilt uppmärksammad fråga är huruvida WTO-reglerna kan ge upphov till direkt effekt inom EU:s rättssystem, dvs. att de kan åberopas av individer i medlemsländernas domstolar. EU-domstolen har bedömt att WTO-reglerna generellt inte kan ge upphov till direkt effFor a number of years, the European Court of Justice has had to deal with the potential conflict between the law of the European Union and the law of the World Trade Organization. One issue that has gained particular interest is the question of whether the rules of the WTO give rise to direct effect within the EU legal system, meaning that they can be invoked by individuals in the courts of EU Mem

“Men are not the deliberate oppressors of women, but can also be disempowered by current social arrangements”. The role of the Secretary-General of the United Nations is among the most powerful in the world. Since 1945 and the establishment of the UN that position has never been held by a woman. Through gender mainstreaming the UN aims at reaching the goal of gender equality. This essay evaluate
