Travel on railway in Sweden has increased steadily over the past three decades and there are today twice as many passengers travelling by train as there were 30 years ago. The increasing awareness of environmental issues with other methods of transportation is likely to favour railway travel, and so the number of passengers is expected to continue to rise. As the number of passengers increase, so

Uncertainties in determination of the Earth’s albedo currently limit our understanding of climate and climate change. A new telescope has been designed and built in collaboration between Danish Meteorological Institute and Lund Observatory to study the ratio between the intensities of earthshine to moonlight. This ratio is proportional to the terrestrial albedo. The aim of the Earthshine Telescope

In this study, physical properties of a small glacier in Kebnekaise Mountains, northern Sweden, are investigated in order to evaluate its erosionai capacity. By definition, glacial cirques are cut out by erosion by cirque glaciers. In areas characterized by low precipitation and pemafrost, small glaciers have very low erosional capacity. Is it possible that a small glacier can excavate a cirque fo

Bakgrund: Många ungdomar upplever en negativ kroppsbild av sig själv som man sedan tar med sig in i vuxenlivet.

Sociala medier kan medföra en dålig kroppsuppfattning och självbild. Syfte: Syftet är att ka

When looking to decarbonise the economy natural gas becomes a favourable solution. However, natural gas is not without a problem i.e., natural gas is still a fossil f

The European energy market has undergone a large transformation in the last 20 years. It has gone from being a market strictly controlled by the Member States and dominated by state monopolies to being a privatized market under the rules of the market economy. This process has as its main aim to create a free and unified European energy market characterized by productive competition. A number of s

This study aims to understand the circumstances needed for diffusion of the innovation Basta. By doing a case study of the establishing of FUNK in Gothenburg, I wanted to find explanations for successes and failures in the diffusion process, and see what role the goal of empowerment played in this process. I found that the innovation Basta has a high degree of relative advantage and compatibility

In the present-day world, a state is only one of a number of social actors, each of which has its own identity, functions and structure.
