To address the challenges of biodiversity conservation and commodity production, a framework has been proposed that distinguishes between the integration (land sharing) and separation (land sparing) of conservation and production. Controversy has arisen around this framework partly because many scholars have focused specifically on food production rather than more encompassing notions such as land
Despite continued efforts by educators, UN declarations and numerous international agreements, progress is still limited in handling major global challenges such as ecosystem collapse, accelerating climate change, poverty, and inequity. The capacity to collaborate globally on addressing these issues remains weak. This historical review of research on global learning for sustainable development (GL
The role of informality in African citizens’ everyday survival reflects the strategies and attitudes of citizens towards state plans and policies. This chapter dissociates the discussion of temporary urbanism from its typical Global North perspective to explore how this concept plays out in a Southern context, namely Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We look at the relationships between temporary urban set
Although the move to the center of many European Social Democratic par- ties in the 1990s was first rewarded with victories, these parties have since faced a remarkable electoral drought.What explains the seeming inability of these catchall parties to cast a wider but sustainable net for voters? Incorpo- rating a temporal dimension helps explain when and why the broadening of party platforms fails
This book is meant as a guide to the evidence available for different conservation interventions and as a starting point in assessing their effectiveness. The assessments are based on the available evidence for the target group of species for each intervention. The assessment may therefore refer to different species or habitat to the one(s) you are considering. Before making any decisions about im
The Port of Rotterdam is an important industrial cluster, comprising mainly oil refining, chemical production and power generation. In 2016, the port's industry accounted for 19% of the Netherlands’ total CO2 emissions. The Port of Rotterdam Authority is aware that the cluster is heavily exposed to future decarbonisation policies, as most of its activities focus on trading, handling, converting an
The implementation of an appropriate pricing policy in an urbanarea could alleviate both environmental and congestion problemsby encouraging a shift towards more sustainable modes oftransportation. However, any positive net social welfare balancedelivered by the policy can hide unacceptable regressive effects.Therefore, it is crucial to investigate any change in relative levelsof accessibility amo
Purpose This paper investigates how the balanced scorecard (BSC) has been translated to fit the public healthcare environment. The paper discusses how the context, consisting of politicians, administrators, and medical professionals has influenced the design and function of the BSC. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative case study approach involving semi-structured interviews were conducted wi
The yearly, total (dry+wet) deposition of inorganic nitrogen (inorg-N) to Norway spruce forests was estimated with a full spatial coverage over Sweden for a twenty-year period, 2001–2020, based on combined measurements with Teflon string samplers, throughfall deposition and bulk deposition to the open field. The results were based on a novel method to apply estimates of the dry deposition based on
Dealing with structural breaks is an essential step in most empirical economic research. This is particularly true in panel data comprised of many cross-sectional units, which are all affected by major events. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected most sectors of the global economy; however, its impact on stock markets is still unclear. Most markets seem to have recovered while the pandemic is ongoin

Since the 15th-century Fugleflugtslinjen (the Bird Escape line) - transport corridor from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean - has been a long-lasting project and optimizations are still taking place today. As one of the optimization projects, in 2011, it was decided to build an immersed tunnel (Femern tunnel) between Rødbyhavn (Denmark) and Puttgarden (Germany), and in 2020 the construction works h
Den 11 mars 2020 klassificerades spridningen av Covid-19 som en pandemi av världshälsoorganisationen. Sedan dess har över 280 miljoner människor smittats och 5,4 miljoner människor avlidit. Utvecklingen av pandemin har inneburit att diskussionen avseende mänskliga rättigheter och patentskydd återupptagits. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera huruvida det föreligger en adekvat balans mellan patOn March 11, 2020, the spread of Covid-19 was classified as pandemic by the World Health Organization. Throughout the pandemic more than 280 million cases have been confirmed and more than 5.4 million people have lost their lives. The pandemic has led to an increased attention to the relation between human rights and patent protection. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze whether there is a
Intimate partner violence against women is a prominent problem within today’s society and during recent years it has gained a larger matter on the political platform. During the current Covid-19 pandemic there has been an increase in intimate partner violence against women. Since the restrictions of staying home and practicing social distancing were established during the beginning of 2020, the Sw
The thesis explores the growing discourse of Big Data and argues that political actors like the European Union are purposefully constructing the meaning of such an issue and promoting certain strategies. The study seeks to expand the spectrum of Strategic Communication by examining a supranational political institution and to add valuable insights to the knowledge of the critical stream of Data st

Häckeberga Nature Reserve, in the eastern part of the municipality of Lund, Sweden, was established in April 1976, in order to preserve the area’s varying and rich nature, and to facilitate human recreation. The aim of this master thesis is to explore how well the goals with the nature reserve protection have been met, how the management of the reserve has been carried out and to suggest improveme
Offentlig upphandling är ett verktyg som har stor påverkan på marknaden på grund av dess stora köpkraft. EU vill använda den offentliga upphandlingen för att kunna uppnå en grön offentlig upphandling. EU antog 2010 en strategi som kallas för Europa 2020-strategin. Med den strategin bestämde sig EU för att uppnå vissa klimatmål. Grön offentlig upphandling skulle hjälpa till att uppnå de målen. Som Public procurement is a tool that has a major impact on the market due to its large purchasing power. The EU wants to use this tool to achieve a green public procurement. In 2010, the EU adopted a strategy called the Europe 2020 strategy. With that strategy, the EU committed to pursue certain climate goals. Green public procurement would help achieve those goals. As part of the strategy, a new dir
COVID-19 was declared a world-wide pandemic in 2020, consequently affecting societies all around the globe. This thesis investigates one of these effects, namely how the pandemic affected occupant loads in office buildings and its subsequent effect on fire evacuation. Occupant load is one of many important factors when designing a building in regard to its fire safety, as it is a key component in
