Studies of decision-making have shown that attitudes can be influenced by choices. One way in which to study these types of attitude changes can be through the choice blindness paradigm. Choice blindness is the well documented finding that people may both fail to notice that the outcome of a choice does not correspond to what was intended, and at the same time construct coherent arguments in suppo

En välskött golfbana kräver ofta ett intensivt skötselarbete för att tilltala spelarna estetiskt och spelmässigt. Kemiska bekämpningsmedel används både mot svampangrepp och ogräs, men med hjälp av förebyggande metoder kan man minska denna användning. Även tillsynsmyndigheten kan se till att användningen minskas genom att ställa hårdare krav på verksamheterna. För att få golfbanorna att bli så gröTo keep a high standard of the golf courses intensive maintenance work might be required. To avoid weeds, fungi and diseases on the courses almost half of all golf clubs in Sweden use chemical pesticides. Because of the toxic nature of the the substances it may cause negative impacts on the environment which makes it important to reduce or stop entirely with the use of chemical pesticides. This st
Spridningsmöjligheterna för fyra arter av hotade eller sårbara trädlevande skalbaggar i Lunds stad är bristfälliga. För att bibehållandet av livskraftiga populationer är det av stor vikt att individerna har möjlighet att sprida sig mellan de livsmiljöer som träden utgör. Därför ökar betydelsen av ett bevarandearbete som integreras med stadens samhälleliga planering så att befintliga träd som är väUrban trees are of great value as habitat and as elements for dispersal of many biological organisms. Hence, tree inventories are an important step for local municipalities in the effort to promote urban biodiversity of organisms dependent of trees for dispersal and survival. Lund is one of the municipalities which have carried out a comprehensive tree inventory. The purpose of this study is, on b

Kiselalgsanalys eller Kvävefosforanalys? Av: Anders Andersson 2017 Övergödning är ett växande problem som anses vara den främsta orsaken till försämring av vattenkvaliteten i vattendrag. För att studera vattenkvaliteten finns olika metoder, kiselalgernas egenskap som påväxtalger innebär att de inte kan flytta på sig. De antingen måste anpassa sig eller försvinna när förändringar sker i vattnet. IdEutrophication is one of the most threatening issues to water quality in natural water. It can cause problems of the ecosystem, with for example, lowering the biodiversity of the community. The main reason for eutrophication in natural waters is the leakage of nutrients from nearby crop-fields. Too much of nutrients reaches the water and negatively interferes with the water community. To study the
The number of devices connected to the Internet grows constantly. This information entity has been labeled the Internet of Things (IoT). One important aspect of this is the industrial applications, sometimes labeled the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Collecting and analyzing the massive amounts of data that industry generates will only become more and more important as technology and the ne
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (2016) food production has a big impact on the climate, and a big part of the food gets wasted as garbage. About 91% of the food that the stores waste is still eatable (Naturvårdsverket, 2014). The government has set a goal to reduce the food waste with 20% until 2020 in comparison to 2010. In present days there’s a lot of research on how to maintai
Befinner du dig berusad på en allmän plats i Sverige har polisen rätt att omhänderta dig enligt Lag om omhändertagande av berusade personer (LOB). Kraven för ett sådant omhändertagande är att du är tillräckligt berusad för att vara till fara för dig själv eller för din omgivning samt att omhändertagandet inte väcker stor olägenhet för den enskilde. Lagen är tänkt fungera som en vårdinsats både förIf you are found drunk in a public place in Sweden, the police have the right to dispose of you in accordance with Lag om omhändertagande av berusade personer (LOB).

Miljö och klimatförändringar samt mänskliga rättigheter har länge varit uppe på den internationella agendan. På senare tid har det även uppkommit en diskussion om kopplingen mellan dessa två, framförallt om hur miljöfaktorer påverkar människor. Genom föroreningar, naturkatastrofer, industriutsläpp, med mera, kan olika miljöfaktorer bidra till en kränkning av mänskliga rättigheter. Detta har internThe environment and climate change as well as human rights have both been international concerns for a long time. Lately there has arisen a discussion about the connection between these two. The discussion has above all been about the impact that the environment has on humans. Pollution, natural disasters, industrial emissions, etc. are factors that can contribute to the violation of human rights.
Under hösten 2017 spreds hashtaggen #metoo som en lavin på sociala medier. Upprinnelsen till hashtaggen var ett utpekande av en filmproducent som avslöjades ha utsatt flertalet kvinnor inom den amerikanska filmbranschen för sexuella övergrepp. I samband med avslöjandet uppmanade en amerikansk skådespelerska sina kvinnliga kollegor att offentliggöra sina erfarenheter av sexuella övergrepp under hasIn the fall of 2017, the hashtag #metoo spread virally on social media. The hashtag started when a Hollywood film producer was accused of having exposed several women in the American film industry of sexual abuse. In connection with the allegations, an American actress encouraged her female colleagues to publish their experiences of sexual abuse under the hashtag of me too. The hashtag was first u

Nowadays, China has made great efforts to make international hotspot issues peacefully settled in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. One challenge China faces on its road to global prominence is how to balance the increasing international responsibility and the established foreign policy principles that have been upheld for decades. The thesis attempts to answer why China sticks to the non-interfe
Ecotourism has been touted globally as a tool that promotes sustainable development. Yet ecotourism and sustainable development are neither simple to define, nor straightforward in regards to their implementation. The aim of this thesis is to critically investigate ecotourism’s relationship to sustainable development. In doing so it develops its own conceptual framework on the sustainability goals
Events that can be described as high impact and low probability (HILP-events) have been proven difficult to deal with, for example background data often is sparse. Due to the construction of traffic tunnels these events need to be taken into consideration. A tool for doing this is risk analysis, and with this tool the events can be identified and handled with a quantitative or qualitative approach
Background: Omni-channel retailing has led to customers becoming more demanding and less tolerant than before. For instance, customers are demanding shorter delivery times, and higher precision in deliveries. Unless retailers adapt to an omni-channel approach today, their business is likely to suffer. To do so, more efficient planning of the supply chain is necessary. The first step of the plannin
PFAS är en grupp kemikalier med olika toxiska egenskaper och som har spridat sig idag överallt i naturen. Gruppen är vanligt förekommande inom olika konsumentprodukter som slutligen hamnar på deponier i form av avfall och kan där ifrån släppas ut via lakvatten. För att förhindra utsläpp och minska spridningsrisken av PFAS från deponier så är det viktigt att undersöka och anlägga fungerande sanerinPFAS is a group of long-lasting chemicals with multiple known toxicological effects which has been found everywhere in nature. One of the possible source points of PFAS is via landfill through leachate leaving the area. It is therefore important to investigate and implementing remediation techniques to reduce the contamination risk. This thesis focuses on two components, first a literature study w
