Rural development on the island of Gotland has been in decline for years. In the year 2011/12, two uprisings were triggered. The first, the “Countryside Uprisings” was started against the local authority’s move to shut down 11 schools in the countryside and the second, the “Gotlandic Uprising” was against the high cost of ferry travel between Got-land and the Swedish mainland. The undercurrent of
The purpose of this thesis is to study beam-cavity interactions, with a focus on how to maintain an unperturbed acceleration field in a conducting cavity with a proton beam present. The impact on a cavity acceleration field from different perturbation sources is investigated through computer simulations of a theoreti- cal model based on a resonant circuit. Perturbations from the RF input pulse to
The object of this thesis is to analyze and discuss normcore and its discursive relationship to subculture and mainstream. The urban district Williamsburg and the French fashion brand Céline will respectively be used as cases to exemplify these two different aspects. Normcore is an attitude that the trend agency K-HOLE mapped out in their report Youth mode: A Report on Freedom. The attitude turned
Denna uppsats handlar om hänförbarhet av handlande under fredsbevarande insatser. Uppsatsen försöker redogöra för hur hänförbarhet går till enligt in-ternationell sedvanerätt. Detta har gjorts genom att tillämpa rättsdogmatisk metod. För att utreda den internationella sedvanerätten har jag inledningsvis undersökt ILCs instrument DARIO och ARSIWA och dess betydelse på om-rådet. Sedan har jag undersThis essay focuses on attribution of conduct in peacekeeping missions. The study attempts to explain how attribution is carried out according to interna-tional customary law, through legal dogmatic method. To investigate interna-tional customary law, I initially examined the ILC’s instruments DARIO and ARSIWA, and their impact in this area. The study goes on to examine the significance of these in
Electricity finds itself different from other fresh-ware commodities, it cannot easily be stored. This characteristic trait of electricity results in traditional pricing methods not working for electricity pricing. Thus different pricing schemes are needed, such as Price Forward Curves (PFC) or pricing against a price level. The price forward curves are constructed through a mix of historical mark
The many advantageous abilities of plastics have made them omnipresent in today’s society. However, the low cost of production, light weight, durability and insolubility in water combined with inadequate waste handling have led to a vast and increasing accumulation of plastics in nature, approximated to be over 6 300 million tons (Geyer, Jambeck and Law, 2017, ‘Production, use, and fate of all pla
Offentlig upphandling utgör en betydande del av Sveriges statsbudget, och det finns en ambition från nationellt håll att öka det strategiska inköpsarbetet rörande offentlig upphandling. Tidigare akademiska studier inom inköp har dock främst fokuserat på privat sektor, och forskning som syftar till att förklara hur och varför olika upphandlande myndigheter arbetar mer eller mindre strategiskt med iA significant portion of the Swedish government budget consists of public procurement, and there is a national ambition to increase the strategic aspect of public procurement. Previous research has mainly focused on the private sector, and there is a lack of research that aims to explain how and why different contracting authorities work more or less strategically with procurement. This study aims
Denna uppsats behandlar de tre rekvisiten stipulerade i inkomstskattelagen som behöver vara uppfyllda för att ett företag skatterättsligt skall konstituera ett investmentföretag. Bedömningen gällande huruvida ett företag uppfyller ett, eller flera, av rekvisiten för investmentföretagsstatus har dock inte alltid visat sig vara oproblematisk i praktiken. Uppsatsens syfte är således dels att redogöraThis essay deals with the three necessary conditions, stipulated in the Swedish Income Tax Act (“Inkomstskattelagen”), needed to be met in order for a company to be able to constitute an investment company. However, determining whether an entity satisfies one or more of the criteria for investment company status has not always proved to be unproblematic in practice. The purpose of the essay is thu
How often do we think of our own death? And how often do we stop and think of the changes surrounding death that affect our lives? Thanatology, the study of death and dying, examines death from different perspectives. Following a thanatological path, this research aimed to explore the relationship between death and technology in terms of social change, specifically in the Republic of Cyprus. F

The increased human dependence on fossil-based fuels, industrial chemicals, and structural materials has caused a drastic increase in atmospheric CO2 levels during the past 50 years. Consequences of this have been observed in the disruption of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Bioengineering of photosynthetic organisms capable of converting CO2 into biomass and value-added organic molecules prov
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) provide targets with an alternative route to the public markets and have grown significantly in popularity in recent years. The existing literature on SPAC performance, which predominantly examines the previous generation of SPACs (pre-2010), reveals that the market tends to react positively to acquisition announcement, while post-merger performance
The search for prior art documents is an important, but time-consuming task for the patent attorney. Today, these searches are carried out using keywords, which is problematic since inventions often are described using abstract and general terms in the patent applications. In addition, synonyms must be taken into account and formulated manually. This means a risk of relevant documents being overlo
This thesis explores discrepancies in climate change policy and practice, located at the intersection of the politics of sustainability, climate financing, and critical development studies. Using Danish public climate aid as a case study, the thesis investigates how the structure of climate aid inhibits or supports access for adaptation for vulnerable areas. Public climate finance is urgently nee
