Tourism is an important income for regions, where souvenirs play an important part. As we are heading into a more creatively oriented tourism, visitors are encouraged to participate rather than merely observe. The current supply of static objects symbolized by the host region, do not necessarily fulfill the underlying purpose of a souvenir; helping you remember a special moment in your life. Memo

Invasive alien species are organisms that have been introduced to an area outside their natural distribution range and threatens animals, habitats or humans in the new area. The raccoon (Procyon lotor) is a mesopredator originating from North and Central America that has been introduced in Europe and Asia. Since the first European introductions of raccoons in Germany, natural dispersal and pet tra

Denna studie undersöker den politiska och allmänna diskurs som konstruerar identiteten landsbygdsbo i Sverige, samt vilka konsekvenser denna diskurs har gällande förväntningar på, och förväntningar hos boende i rurala regioner i Sverige. Studien fokuserar på stängningen av Sollefteå BB i Sollefteå sjukhus, Västernorrlands landsting (numera region), i januari 2017 och den ockupation av sjukhuset so

Semantic Web technology has attracted much interest for its ability to integrate and deliver information from different sources, and increasingly, geodata are being published as triple data according to the graph structure laid out in the Resource Description Framework (RDF). Although the Semantic Web already contains a large volume of geotagged information, there is still a lack of suitable geome

Research Problem: Existent literature has predominantly focused on applying the concept of CSR on large corporations, disregarding the role of CSR in startups despite the fact that CSR related aspects especially in relation to sustainability provide a fruitful avenue for new ventures to base their competitive advantage on. Investigation of the link between CSR and startups is needed since emerging

: Food is an integral part of our everyday lives, with a plethora of social and commercial activities built around it. Despite being so intensive in resources, a third of the production is destined to be wasted. To comply with the waste management guidelines, redistribution should be society’s priority, especially when considering how many individuals cannot afford food. Interestingly, despite its

Today, English is the most studied second language, being used in academia, international relations, social forums and mainstream entertainment, resulting in English becoming a common topic of research in the study of second language acquisition. One particularly interesting form of entertainment is the hobby of online digital gaming as English has become the de facto language used in absence of a

Utsläpp av växthusgaser sedan mitten av 1800-talet har orsakat klimatförändring som bland annat leder till en ökning av både avsmältning i kryosfären och värmeutvidgning i haven, två faktorer som gjort att havsnivån stigit allt snabbare under det senaste århundradet. Havsnivåhöjning kan öka förekomsten av översvämningar av land, vägar och järnvägar samt påverka miljöobjekt, och på grund av detta iThis study uses GIS analyses to investigate the risk that increasing sea levels and highest projected highwater pose by increasing the risk of inundation on state-owned roads and railways as well as environmental objects in their side areas. This is done through an assessment of sea level rise projections and a risk analysis, which points out where vulnerable features are located and provides time

Natural events that happen more rarely have historically been more difficult to study and continue to require different methods. For example, rare occurrences of natural disasters and weather events can have return periods of thousands of years but because of their large impact are very important to study. In addition to being used to study the changing climate, climate models have the advantage o

I december 2015 skrev den svenska regering under FN:s Agenda 2030 bestående av 17 hållbarhetsmål med tillhörande 169 delmål. Mål 12, delmål 3 lyder: “Till 2030, halvera det globala matsvinnet per person i butik- och konsumentledet, och minska matsvinnet längs hela livsmedelskedjan, även förlusterna efter skörd.” Att fullt ätbar mat slängs belyser alla tre aspekter av begreppet hållbarhet på ett ef

The size of the pension payments is a result of how well the pension capital has been invested by the life insurance company. The laws for how much of the pension capital the life insurance companies are able to invest, and how much they need to keep as capital requirement, are under investigation. This is regulated by the risk measure value at risk. Finansinspektionen has released a test report,
