This paper argues that industrialized meat and dairy production create substantial environmental costs that are currently not being reflected by the price paid by consumers. One way of addressing this could be by taxing those products proportional to the environmental damage they cause based on the principle that the polluter should pay. The question is if such a tax could be legally motivated und
Investigating the matter of urban sustainability, previous research within the field argues that the social dimension of sustainability has been deprioritized, one potential reason being that it is less tangible then the economic and ecological dimension. Furthermore, citizen participation and inclusiveness is identified as central to the social dimension on an international as well as Swedish nat

By way of a diachronic analysis the semantic changes of Japanese first person pronouns will be discussed. The goal of the analysis is to shine some light on the history and evolution of Japanese pronouns in the first person and in so doing show that these pronouns have been subjected to change semantically throughout history. To bolster the analysis research in the form of a survey has been conduc
In the swedish social legislation we have a measure called "contact-family". Contact families are ordinary people who will do a contribution to appointed children. The social welfare committe commissions the contact families. In Sweden "contact" family is the most used measure in the prevent social work welfare with children in riskzone. I have done an investigation in a commun
This study examines the factors influencing the perceptions and attitudes of Poles towards Ukrainian workers in the Polish labor market, incorporating the extension of Allport (1956)’s contact theory by Pettigrew and Tropp (2006). Given the economic relationship between Ukraine and Poland, the influx of Ukrainian immigrants, and the absence of a comprehensive immigration policy, understanding thes
This thesis explores the ways in which architectural sites establish and maintain Dubai’s claim to global city status. In a globalized world, localities must succeed in translocal networks in order to ensure their survival and prosperity, and global recognition of local uniqueness is thus integral to the establishment of global cities. Architecture plays an essential role in producing locality in
This research paper examines the European Union's merger control regime and its efficacy in addressing the killer acquisitions by big tech firms in the fast-evolving digital sphere. It investigates the legal framework, competition policy objectives, and more importantly the impact of the digital sector on EU competition policy. Furthermore, it critically analyses the killer acquisitions by
Med grund i EU:s konstitutionella utrikesrätt (EU External Relations Law) utforskar den här uppsatsen EU:s traktatmakande på luftfartsområdet. Sambandet mellan doktrinen om implicit befogenhet och traktatmakandesystemet på luftfartsområdet har knappast studerats. Dessa båda fenomen har beskrivits i EU External Relations Law respektive i folkrätten på flygfartsområdet. Den här uppsatsen överbryggarThis thesis explores the aviation treaty-making of the EU through the lens of EU External Relations Law. The relationship between the doctrine of implied competence and the treaty-making system in aviation has scarcely been studied. Both phenomena have been described in EU External Relations Law and international public aviation law, respectively; this thesis bridges and explores the gap between t
The study presented herein analyses the Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks (WRC) in light of existing civil liability regimes relating to the same area of environmental law, namely&semic protection of the marine environment from damages arising from maritime activities. Through presentation and analysis of the most influential and exemplifying civil liability regimes for
When initiating the research for my graduate paper I had a rather straightforward intent in mind. It was to determine if the research being conducted in the bio-health related field was negatively affected by the patent system. If the research was delayed by the patent system I wanted to apprehend why. I came to the conclusion that over the years the sphere where the exchange of intellectual prope
The purpose of this case study was to explore the process of institutional change in the water in Moldova, with the ambition of contributing to the under-theorized discussion on the way this process unfolds since two decades ago. Institutional change was conceptualised as the process of making improvements and amendments of what is wrong or unsatisfactory about water institutions, with the aim of
Departing from the question of how the EU self-image and role conception have been constructed in 1999-2009, this study locates the analysis of the EU as a foreign policy (FP) actor within the constructivist framework of role theory combined with a discursive approach. Guided by the central assumption that identity and role conception can be analysed by studying language in the form of discourse,
The semiconductor industry is one of the most technologically advanced and complex industries in the world, not only because of the extreme development pace, but also because of the necessary production processes to create the finished product. The value increase from silicon as raw material, to integrated circuits (IC), is equivalent to the transformation of sand into a product worth more than it
Under vissa typer av operationer, till exempel då kärlen kring hjärtat opereras, använder sig läkare av en speciell typ av röntgenmaskin för att orientera sig inuti kroppen, så kallad genomlysning. För att undgå att öppna upp bröstkorgen på patienten går läkarna in med små verktyg i kärlen via ljumskarna och upp till hjärtat. Eftersom läkarna står så nära patienten träffar en del av strålningen de"Background: Cataract (opacity of the lens of the eye) has always been thought of as a deterministic effect. That is, that there is a threshold dose below which damage does not occur. However, recent studies suggest a lower threshold and the question whether there is any threshold at all has been raised. One situation that leads to special concern, if this turns out to be the case, is during
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Supernovor och andra galaktiska system skickar ut mängder av atomkärnor med nära ljusets hastighet, så kallad kosmisk strålning. Eftersom supernovor framförallt finns i spiralarmarna i vår galax och jorden över långa tidsperioder rör sig relativt spiralarmarna så har det föreslagits att kosmisk strålning inte varit konstant under jordens historia. Vidare har visIt has been suggested that the cosmic ray flux varies as Earth moves relative to the spiral arms in the galaxy. However, no satisfying record over the cosmic ray flux over long time scales has been presented. This work aims to investigate the possibility to use cosmic ray tracks in silicate mineral inclusions in sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial chromite (SEC) grains as such a record. Chromite i
The main purpose of this study was to make an initial risk analysis on the probability of antibiotics in biosolids causing adverse effects on agricultural soil environments. The issue on resistance development among bacteria towards antibiotics has also been discussed. Initially, the risk was found to be very high for all of the antibiotics; penicillin, tetracycline, macrolide, quinolone, trimetho
The Silurian strata of Gotland yield a wide variety of polychaete jaws. The investigated polychaetes include the family Polychaetaspidae with the two genera Polychaetaspis and Kozlowskiprion, and the monotypic family Ramphoprionidae with the genus Ramphoprion. The fauna derives from the sections at Lusklint and Lickershamn 2 which comprise the three stratigraphically oldest units on Gotland: the L
It has in recent years been shown that some linguistic items, in particular lexical and abstracted movement verbs, activate the motor cortex in the human brain while being processed. The present study sets out to investigate how far this activation is retained for grammaticalised motion verbs which have shed their lexical content in exchange for grammatical functionality. Traditional literature su
