With the introduction of Forecast-based Financing (FbF) in 2013, the ability and incentive to do early action based on forecasting has increased over the last couple of years. In this study eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted with FbF practitioners of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (RCRC) Movement with the purpose of shedding light on challenges and opportunities associated with the a

Online shopping is becoming more common. Many consumers prefer to order their groceries online rather than visit an actual physical store, as online shopping is a lot more convenient. Another growing trend in the retailing industry is the increasing number of environmentally conscious consumers who are aware of the impact their actions have. Retailers such as ICA and Axfood are investing quite a l

This study centers around museum ethics with a focus on provenance research and how changing attitudes, both societal and sector-based, has affected the representation, communication and usage of provenance research and objects with provenance concerns within the public museum sector. The aim of this study is to gain increased and deeper knowledge about this phenomenon and the underlying processes

China is on a transition to waste management charging reform and pursuing effective eco-nomic incentives on an individual level. Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT)/Unit pricing is recog-nized as an important and effective means to waste prevention and source segregation ren-dered by the government mostly in the developed countries. Following the in-depth case study analysis and the environmental, the study e

Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka argumentationen i två debattartiklar från två överläkare inom palliativ vård med flera års erfarenhet rörande införandet av frivillig dödshjälp. Första debattartikeln konstruerades av Juha Hänninen som är överläkare och andra artikeln framställdes av Gunnar Eckerdal som också är överläkare. Båda har flera års erfarenhet inom palliativ vård. Denna uppsats baseras

This master thesis work was performed in collaboration with the agricultural cooperative Lantmännen. With the ambition to take a world leading role in the development of unique products based on oats, Lantmännen has developed two oat based powders; one protein powder, PrOatein™, and one β-glucan powder, PromOat®. The aim of this master thesis project was to investigate the functional properties of

The observable, RT , is investigated using two-dimensional (∆η, ∆φ) angular correlations, where ∆η and ∆φ are the differences in pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle respectively, between the trigger and associated tracks. The analysed data consists of reconstructed tracks, from proton-proton collisions at collision energy ps = 13 TeV, taken from the ALICE detector at the LHC. Correlations are const

I denna uppsats analyseras hur diskursen om DO:s uppdrag, i två debattartiklar och en replik från 2017-2018, kan analyseras utifrån kritisk diskursanalys från Norman Fairclough. Därefter görs en undersökning på hur diskursen kan kopplas till frågan om access to justice, i synnerhet om individens tillgång till domstolsprövning. Den ena debattartikeln är skriven av juristen Rami Al-Khamisi och den a

I denna uppsats undersöker jag Moderaterna och Vänsterpartiets valmanifest från 1988, 1998 och 2018 med hjälp av metoden kritisk diskursanalys och Jasbir K. Puars teori om homonationalism, för att se vad partierna säger om HBTQ-personers rättigheter. Jag tar avstamp i det faktum att både Moderaterna, som är liberalkonservativa, och Vänsterpartiet, som är socialistiska, båda gick i Stockholms Pride

With the emergence of industrialisation, the work-life balance has become a point of discussion in many industries, among which the aviation industry. Distortions in the work-life balance became especially apparent when 24/7 economies evolved, and industries made a transition to facilitate and serve these economies. Incidents and accident have since then been related to fatigue more than before. T

The present research seeks to understand interviews I have conducted with selected individuals in Budapest, Hungary. Through an analysis based on well-established feminist theory I analyse what the dimensions of quality and character of life can be like for those committed to an environmentally conscious lifestyle, and ultimately gives credence to the notion that there might be deeper psychologica

Large amounts of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere are stored in forest ecosystems and its soil. Once the forest ecosystem is disturbed the release of this carbon can drive positive feedback to global warming. Humans impact the forest ecosystem through clear-cutting for wood production and other commercial purposes. Clear-cutting is still a standard forestry management method, but its effect on

Responses to combating worsening climate change are legitimized through narratives employed in government policy which build on existing master narratives about climate change produced in the subpolitics of international mega-science mainly influenced by IPCC as an expert authority. In Sweden the climate law forces the government to produce a Climate Policy Action Plan (CPAP) every four years that

To accelerate sustainable development and mitigate climate change, an increasing amount of finance is being mobilized for the deployment of renewable energy (RE) in developing countries from bilateral and multilateral donors and climate funds. Even though this trend is present in Mongolia, there is still a lack of knowledge about how effective these efforts have been for renewable energy developme

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) has been successfully implemented in various developed countries. The complex waste flows and the presence of the informal sector in non-OECD countries makes the execution of EPR challenging widely. The informal sector owing to its contribution to the waste management sector has been advocated for inclusion and recognition by researchers and practitioners. Th

Möllevången är en av de stadsdelar som i Polismyndighetens senaste trygghetsmätning avvek från den generella ökningen av upplevd trygghet bland Malmöinvånare. Stadsdelen har under de senare åren brottats med en lång rad vålds- och sexualbrott som har skett i den offentliga stadsmiljön. Denna studie ämnade därför till att försöka skapa medvetenhet kring hur kvinnors upplevelse av (o)trygghet ser ut

Redan för över ett århundrade sedan, i industrialiseringens vagga, funderade fysiker, kemister och naturvetenskapare på de eventuella konsekvenser de oreglerade utsläppen av fossila bränslen i atmosfären kunde få. Bland annat förutsåg man en framtida global uppvärmning. Nu har det gått många årtionden sedan vi fick svart på vitt att den globala uppvärmningen är ett faktum. Det råder överväldigande

This thesis analyses if and how the EU’s regulatory impact differs between policy areas in the High North. This question will be examined through the lens of the ‘regulatory power Europe’ framework, which is represented by Bradford’s interpretation of the Brussels Effect. This comparative study utilizes a mixedmethod approach scrutinizing quantitatively all applicable regulations in the Arctic as
