With their potential to effectively address multiple urban sustainability challenges, the emerging policy discourse on nature-based solutions seeks to encourage the development of multifunctional nature for sustainable and just cities. Nature-based solutions, however, are vulnerable to co-option by powerful interests in ways that limit their contribution to a broad range of sustainability goals.

Denna studie har syftat till att undersöka den retoriska potential som hip hoppens lyrik, rap, skulle kunna besitta i klassrumssammanhang. Undersökningen intresserar sig för dess effektivitet som minnesstrategi men också dess potential som ett media att förmedla kunskap. Genom en övergripande analys av begreppen retorik och hip hop synliggörs detta och undersöks därefter genom autoetnografisk aktiThis study has aimed to explore the rhetorical potential that hip hope poetry, rap, could possess in classroom contexts. The study is interested in its effectiveness as a memory strategy, but also its potential as a media to convey knowledge. Through an overall analysis of the concepts of rhetoric and hip hop, this is made visible and then investigated through autoenographic action research. The r

Integration of immigrants has become a crucial policy-question in Sweden and Western Europe due to the large numbers of immigrants having settled during the last three decades.

This study addresses the question of how the Somali refugees, which are being better integrated in other

Information anxiety is a phenomenon in which people yield anxiety when receiving information. Mobile social media (MSM) nowadays plays a vital role in communication among the users, which triggered the authors to investigate the phenomenon of information anxiety on MSM in depth. This paper traces the historical developments using selected literature, and proposes a conceptual model (CM) that is ma

This study has its starting point in a public debate about disruptive behaviors at public libraries in Sweden. In 2019 a legal bill was proposed, which would make it possible to deny persons who disturb the order at libraries, access to libraries. Representatives from library organizations criticized the proposed bill, stating it is contrary to the current Swedish Library Act. The main purpose wit

This thesis describes a method for concluding attributes of a star (including ages, temperatures, chemical element abundances) from its spectra. The method was developed by the 4MOST (4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope) consortium. How the model outputs stellar attributes by receiving spectra is too complicated to be included in one thesis, so only introductions of numerical methods whic

Sammanfattning: På nordöstra Gotland, i Slite, har en metod för kemisk karaktärisering av den siluriska lagerfölj-den prövats. Syftet med studien har varit, att på uppdrag av Cementa AB ta fram en förbättrad och effektivare me-tod för karaktärisering av kalksten från borrhålsinformation som är anpassad för deras industriella verksamhet. Själva metodutvecklingen baseras på resultat från kemisk analAbstract: On the north–eastern part of Gotland, in Slite, a mapping method has been tested in the Silurian bed-rock. The aim of the study was to develop a new mapping method adapted for industrial purposes on behalf of Ce-menta AB. The developed method is based on chemical analyses of drill cuttings and geophysical surveys. The combination of both of these methods forms the basis for the classific

Lojalitetsplikten är en rättsprincip inom framför allt avtalsrätten som i stort innebär att en part i viss utsträckning även ska tillvarata sin motparts intressen så att denne inte lider skada. Lojalitetsplikten gäller både före, under och efter avtalsförhållandet, men vilka rättsföljder som följer när en part inte uppfyller lojalitetsplikten är oklart och beror på olika faktorer, som till exempelThe duty of loyalty is a principle within the Swedish contract law which basically means that a party also has to consider its counterparts interest and make sure that, to some extent, the counterpart does not get damaged financially. The duty of loyalty as a principle takes effect before, during and after the contractual relationship. What a breach of the principle will lead to all depends on wha

The purpose of the study is to investigate in what ways the safety work on site differs from the recommendations in the statutory regulations. The purpose is also to determine in what ways safety precautions are taken in order to avoid the hazards of falls from heights. Furthermore, the purpose of the study is to cast light on the level of knowledge that the construction workers possess regarding

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate visibility and inclusion in policy on domestic violence in Bolivia by answering the specific questions: 1) How are the axis of difference related to gender, class and ethnicity made visible in the national policy documents on domestic violence? and 2) How are the intersections of gender class and ethnicity understood by service providers in public inst

Addressing key environmental concerns during humanitarian assistance is critical to prevent additional hazards, reduce risks, and to not further increase the vulnerability of disaster-affected populations. However, the environment remains an underappreciated cross-cutting issue within the humanitarian sector and efforts to systematically integrate environmental concerns into humanitarian assistanc

Uppsatsen behandlar beviskravet i brottmål och alternativa hypoteser i förhållande till åklagarens gärningspåstående. Beviskravet innebär att rättens övertygelse om den tilltalades skuld ska vara ställd bortom rimligt tvivel. Eftersom att lagreglering saknas om beviskravet har detta fastställts i praxis. Komplikationerna med ämnet är huvudsakligen att det inte klargjorts utförligt, i varken doktriThe thesis concerns with the evidence requirement in criminal processes and alternative hypotheses in relation to the prosecutor's accusation of crime. The requirement of proof means that the court's conviction of the defendant's debt must be “beyond reasonable doubt”. Due to lack of legislation on the proof requirement, it has instead been established in court practice. The mainly com

This master thesis revolves around one key question: did the view on tolerance change within the discourse of immigration-policies in Sweden after 2010? After a successful election by “Sverigedemokraterna” a general concern was raised regarding how immigration- and immigrant policies would be affected. In this thesis a comparison is made between two election-periods in Sweden, both having a ”popul

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is the most economically important Allium crop. The commercial cycle of onion starts with the harvest and expect for the bulbs a conservation in bulks or in storage area at controlled temperature and relative humidity. The storage period need a particular attention because coincides with the dormancy period, when plants stop their growth, so it is very important to prolong t

The purpose of this report is to evaluate a direct driven permanent magnet motor in high accuracy position and low speed operation. Actuation in this case is usually accomplished by stepping motors combined with belts and pulleys. High accuracy positioning is considered to be within 0.1 degrees and low speed 0.05 degrees per second, while at the same time have a 180 degree step response within 0.5

A critical review of the history of the discursive formation of Sino-Indian relations suggests that the largely negative mutual perceptions by the Chinese and Indian public and media are opposed by an optimistic discourse of both nations’ political and economic elites. This is also accompanied by a juxtaposed, binary discourse of the bilateral relation by members of the Liberal and Realist camp in
