Farmed salmon is today commonly available in grocery stores where it is marketed as a healthy and environmentally friendly alternative to many other fish species. The fact that the diet of farmed salmon substantially consists of fishmeal is a fairly unknown fact. I performed a study which in its first part set out to identify the most negative environmental consequences of farming salmon. I show t

The first aim of this thesis were to analyze China’s discourse of soft power in relation to their investments in the Zambian mining industry from the year 2000 to 2012. From a combination of Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis and Joseph Nye’s soft power theory, I can conclude, that in the 12 years period the Chinese soft power discourse was dominating and China could persuade and attr

The study circle is a cultural and educational phenomenon that has fundamentally affected Sweden and continues to do so even today. The present study investigates the Swedish study circle as a medium. This is done by looking at the notions about what the study circle would be during its early years (1902-1922), through the Swedish Good Templars and Oscar Olsson, also known as “the father of the st

Biological invasions and their underlying mechanisms have become major issues in ecology, conservation and evolutionary biology. In order to better understand the factors determining colonization and invasion success, I obtained common-garden data from more than 1000 greenhouse-grown plants of two alien grass species, Eragrostis minor and E. multicaulis, derived from about 30 sites per species in

However, in the past ten years a new picture of the Maldives has occurred where those in power seem to put more effort into development and economic growth than environme

”Den svenska familjerättsliga regleringen speglar i många avseende grundläggande värderingar i samhället, oavsett om de funnits där under en lång tid eller om de framkallats av lagstiftningen. Det är här fråga om en växelverkan mellan lagar och samhällsvärderingar. Vår reglering är en produkt av vårt samhälle – vi präglas av regleringen och präglar den.” Professor Anna Singer presenterade citatet“The Swedish family law regulation mirrors fundamental values in the society in many ways, regardless of if they have been there for a long period of time or if they are a result of the legislation. This is a matter of an intercommunion between laws and values of society. Our legislation is a product of our society – we are moulded by the legislation and we are moulding it.” Professor Anna Singer

Under många år av studier inom musik har jag som sångare upplevt att jag sällan får samma konkreta feedback som andra instrumentalister i ensemblesammanhang. Många sångare med liknande erfarenheter verkar ha upplevt samma sak. Flera studiekamrater vid Musikhögskolans lärarutbildning anser även att det finns en utbredd problematik i bristen på undervisning i hur man som framtida lärare bör ge feedb

Socioeconomic status (SES) and its effect on health outcomes for an individual is generally well researched, but the different mechanisms of different socioeconomic factors are yet still not fully understood. Using cross-sectional survey data for 50+ people in Estonia this thesis aims to analyse the multidimensional nature of different SES variables to see if the SES variables have an independent

Originally from chaos theory, “the butterfly effect” as a concept indicates the verisimilitude of how the most insignificant thing can have a significant ripple effect in a certain process. By analogy, courts are not immune to the “butterfly effect”. Due to the rapid proliferation of legal regimes and bodies, courts are confronted with unorthodox situations requiring that they interface one-anothe

The Aina project focuses on exploring how design can contribute to the shift towards a more sustainable circular economic system. Aina presents an alternative system for future clothing, where garments are designed to have an extended lifespan, both in production and in consumption. The fashion industry embodies the insanity of the neoclassical market system aiming for endless growth through shor

Today, it seems as if every second designed object is referred to as timeless design. We use the word timeless as a selling word without really thinking about what it means. Through investigating the concept of timeless design, I found the physical paper book being probably one of our most timeless objects. There are tons of book storing furnitures on the market of which the majority consists of
