In recent decades problem of using the finite resource, fossil fuels, as an energy source have caught more and more public attention. The usage of it produces side-products which in long term harms our environment. To combat the usage of such destructive resources, a more sustainable way of creation of energy needs to be implemented, to which scientist have set their eyes on solar cells. Currently

In a time of globalization and increased international cooperation, the future of the nation state and nationalism is not obvious. International organizations, like the European Union (EU), are becoming more important and cooperation within the EU is constantly reaching new levels. EU is in some ways acting like a nation state and is trying to create a fellow-ship among the Member States for a str

This thesis analyses how the biblical motif of the deluge is portrayed in modern fantasy. I apply an ecocritical perspective on the deluge as a way to portray natural disasters and climate change. The intertextuality with the Bible and what that lends to the literary works is in focus for the analysis as well as what role the water has in the fictive material. Through the paper I discuss water as

With the political agreement to quadruple the onshore renewable energy production-(RE) by 2030, Denmark is facing an increased resistance towards and conflict-around the roll-out of RE in affected rural communities. This thesis is a case study-of one municipality in Denmark, Viborg, and how the conflict is experienced here.By interviewing key actors such as locals, the municipality, a developer an

The climate crisis in one of the major challenges of our time. The role of trade in this context is a contested issue, both good and bad effects are plausible. One important question in this context is whether it is possible to increase the chance that trade does not have a negative impact on the environment by including environmental provisions in trade agreements. While this might be possible, i

I framkant för problematiserandet av de svenska domstolarnas efterlevande av objektivitetsprincipen enligt 1 kap. 9 § RF inom ramen för brottmålsrätte-gången står särskilt Ulrika Andersson, Monica Burman och Moa Bladinis forskningsinsatser. Medan Andersson och Burman, kort sammanfattat, inom sina respektive avhandlingar visar på hur diskurserna vid prövningen av den tilltalades skuld i praktiken hAt the forefront of the problematization of the Swedish courts’ adherence to the objectivity requirement according to the 1 chapter 9 § RF within the framework of the criminal trial, the research efforts of Ulrika Andersson, Monica Burman and Moa Bladini stand out in particular. While Andersson and Burman in their respective dissertations, briefly summarized, show how the discourses within the exa

The understanding of interspecific interactions is key to understanding the complexity, diversity, and evolution of land plants. Bryophytes, including mosses, are a diverse group of non-vascular plants that are especially important to study, as they are key parts of ecosystems, are chemically diverse, and have a gametophyte dominant life history. Genetic studies revolving around interspecific inte

Anolis sagrei exhibit a female limited dorsal pattern polymorphism with two discrete pattern morphs (chevron or diamond). The underlying genetic basis has been traced to a Mendelian autosomal locus (gene CCDC170) which is adjacent to the gene for estrogen receptor one (ESR1). Thus, this model system gives an excellent opportunity to study the origin and maintenance of new phenotypic variants. In t

Natural selection is an important force behind evolution. It is well known that phenotypic variation provides opportunity for evolution, but research into how selection acts on specific traits over time is lacking. In this thesis, I studied how selection acts upon the shape and body size of the beetle Cassida viridis. Across three populations, I measured size (length and area), shape, and lifespan

The historical record is an underutilised resource within many fields of biology, despite its unique uses. In this thesis, I have used information from entomological collections and species observation systems to investigate and elaborate on the distribution, habitat preferences and phenology of some rare and poorly known moths within the family of Gelechiidae. Like many other microlepidoptera, ge

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att få förståelse för hur det dubbla syftet med ungdomsråd att både lära ut om demokrati och ge inflytande åt ungdomar bör förstås utifrån syftena som ungdomar har med att vara delaktiga i demokratin. Studien operationaliseras genom kvalitativa intervjuer med sex ungdomar mellan 14-16 år från fyra kommunala ungdomsråd i kommuner med olika socioekonomiska förutsättniThe aim of this thesis is to gain an understanding about how the double purpose with youth councils to both teach democracy and to give youth an opportunity for influence ought to be understood based on the purposes that young people have with participating in democracy. The study is operationalised by qualitative interviews with six youths between the ages of 14-16 from four different municipal y

Mot bakgrund av ett ökat samarbete mot skatteplanering med ränteavdrag på den globala arenan fick Sverige nya skatteregler för företagssektorn innefattande bland annat generella ränteavdragsbegränsningsregler samt nya riktade ränteavdragsbegränsningsregler som träde i kraft den 1 januari 2019. Bakgrunden till det ökade internationella samarbetet mot skatteplanering med ränteavdrag har bland annat In light of increased international cooperation against tax planning with interest deductions Sweden has enacted major changes to its coroporate income tax rules which entered into force on January 1, 2019. The new tax rules include general interest deduction limitation rules and new targeted interest deduction limitation rules. One of the international organisations that has taken measures agains

On July 1st, 2019, the license of the hospital social worker was legislated in Sweden. The aim of this study was to examine the significance of the license for the oncology social worker, using the sociological terminology concepts: role, position and function. The method chosen for this study was qualitative semi structured interviews with eight oncology social workers, working in larger hospital

In Denmark, the emergence of identity politics in public debates is increasing. Amongst opposers of identity politics, a concept has been constructed to describe identity political agendas, namely Krænkelseskultur. By analysing the discursive construction of the so-called “Krænkelseskultur” this study aims to examine how discourses on identity politics in Danish Print Media (re)produces social pow

The term Space Wars was coined by sociologist and philosopher Zygmunt Bauman to describe the way in which space is fabricated, has turned into a power play. The fabricators are those who are in positions of power and wishing to homogenise cities to fit a specific narrative. This does not offer much room for space to be interpreted, used, and developed in any different way. However, this war has a

In late 2007 and early 2008, the price of food on international commodity markets rose rapidly to unprecedented levels. This period of time has since been known as the global food crisis; a time characterised by growing poverty, malnutrition and political unrest. Food prices have since settled, though at a higher level than before, but during and directly after the crisis governments around the wo

Uppsatsen syftar till att ta reda på hur Matteusevangeliet 23:2-3, ”De skriftlärda och fariséerna sitter på Moses stol, således, allt vad de säger till er ska ni göra och hålla men enligt deras handlingar ska ni inte göra, eftersom de talar och inte gör”, ska tolkas i förhållande till Matteusevangeliets helhet, om utsagan är koherent med Matteus övriga skildringar av fariséerna. I min undersökningThe aim of the thesis is to find out how Matthew 23:2-3, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, therefore, everything they say to you, you shall do and keep, but according to their actions you should not do, because they speak and do not do", should be interpreted in relation to the whole gospel, and if the testimony is coherent with the rest of Matthew's portrayal of
