Människan och hampan (Cannabis sativa) har en gemensam historia som går långt bak i tiden, denna historia är dock omgiven av kontroverser. Idag är Cannabis mest känt för sina psykoaktiva egenskaper och narkotika klassificering i många länder, men hampa har historiskt sett främst odlats för fiberproduktion. Denna studie undersöker historisk hampaodling i Europa och är baserad på redan publicerade dHumans and hemp (Cannabis sativa) have an ancient relationship, dating back to the beginning of recorded history. Nevertheless, controversy surrounds the antiquity of the plant. Today Cannabis is probably most famous for its psychoactive properties and illicit status in numerous countries, however hemp has primarily been cultivated as a fibre crop in the past.

När man utvecklar ett användargränssnitt (UI), är det viktigt att kunna testa designen i det eftersökta användningsområdet. Att Testa UI i trafikmiljöer kan vara både svårt och riskabelt. Avhandlingen syftar till att lösa problemet genom att utveckla en VR-applikation där användargränssnitt kan jämföras och utvärderas i en kontrollerad miljö. Detta utfördes genom att följa principerna för en använWhen developing a User Interface (UI), testing the design in a designated area of use is of the utmost importance. However, Testing a UI for a bike in a traffic environment can be both difficult and risky. This thesis aims to solve this problem by developing a VR application in which UIs can be compared and evaluated in a controlled environment. This was completed by following the principals of a

This paper adopts a generative approach to investigating the influence of scope on linearization of affixes in polysynthetic languages. From a typological perspective, polysynthetic languages distinguish themselves morphosyntactically by being non-configurational, using noun incorporation, and by their ability to produce (near) one-word sentences by way of agglutinativity on verbs. These features
För livsmedelsproducenter som riktar in sig på att använda insekter som alternativ proteinkälla och som ingrediens finns det kvalitativa problem som behöver lösas. Att använda insekter som alternativ proteinkälla är att spara på naturresurser eftersom 1 kilo insektsprotein kräver cirka 1,7 kilo föda (FAO 2013). Detta kan jämföras med nötkreatur som kräver cirka sex kilo föda för att få fram 1 kilo
Trångboddhet har länge varit ett omtalat ämne inom svensk bostadspolitik. År 1946 gjordes de första statliga åtgärderna för att motverka trångboddhet, som en följd av de dåliga boendeförhållandena som rådde i Sverige. En av åtgärderna var att en trångboddhetsnorm formulerades, kallad trångboddhetsnorm 1 idag, i syfte att ge vägledning åt befintligt och nytt bostadsbestånd. Enligt trångboddhetsnormFor a long time crowded living has been a well-known topic in Swedish housing policy. In 1946, as a result of bad housing conditions in Sweden, the first actions were taken to fight against crowded living. One of the actions was establishing a housing standard, today known as the housing standard 1, which contained guidelines on how many people should live at the same residence. The purpose of est
Foreign education has been growing constantly for the past decades while research on it has remained scarce. Although research found that migration choices are determined in parts by cultural differences, no study investigated this relationship for foreign education. Therefore, this thesis studies how cultural differences influence bilateral student flows by using a gravity model. Similarly, the c
The potential effects of income inequality have received much attention from researcher and policy-makers in recent years. Income inequality is found by many researchers to have negative effect on health outcomes, crime rates and long-term economic growth. Previous studies have focused mainly on developed countries due to data availability. This study aims at further investigate the hypothesis of
In 2017, an inclusive outdoor area was initiated in Nordvest, Copenhagen, in order to break down the barriers between homeless migrants and residents of the local neighborhood. The presence of homeless migrants on the streets of Copenhagen has spurred much debate and resulted in increasing uneasiness among the domiciled population. This has led to an increase in the criminalization of the behavior
E-handel är ett fenomen som ökar konstant. Detta leder till fler och fler transporter vilket är skadligt för både miljön och för människor. Med denna ökning blir det viktigt med hållbara alternativ för leveranserna. Studiens syfte är att kartlägga och analysera förekomsten av miljövänliga leveransalternativ inom den svenska e-handeln, för att sedan öka förståelsen för komplexiteten kring miljövänl

Järnvägens infrastruktur i Skåne har på många ställen nått sin maximala kapacitet. Södra stambanan mellan Malmö och Hässleholm är i dagsläget en av Sveriges mest belastade järnvägar. Sträckan är viktig för persontrafik, men även godstrafik då järnvägen kopplar samman Skåne med kontinenten och övriga Sverige. Idag är hela sträckan mycket känslig för förseningar på grund av opålitliga anslutande enkThe railway infrastructure in the county of Skåne has in many places reached its maximum capacity. The Southern Main line between Malmö and Hässleholm via Lund is one of Sweden's most densely trafficked lines in all of the country. The stretch is important for both passenger trains as well as freight trains, connecting Skåne to the continent and the rest of Sweden. Today, the line is very sens
Performance research on incubation is a vibrant and complex field, which has received a lot of criticism in recent studies. So far, no dominant theory for incubation performance has evolved and authors request the application of more diverse economic frameworks on incubation to gain improved understanding. As a response, this study takes the fresh perspective of dynamic capabilities and resource-b

In the summer of 2014, a violent conflagration erupted in the isolated Palestinian enclave of Gaza. Whilst the fighting was between Hamas and Israel, Palestinian civilians paid the price. The stark disparity in deaths triggered a debate in the West about Israeli tactics, and the media was accused of ‘bias’ by both Israelis and Palestinians. What this controversy reveals is that the argument is abo
