Stranderosion har länge utgjort ett stort problem vid många av Skånes sandiga kuster. Erosionen har varit speciellt svår vid Löderups strandbad. Det undersökta området består av en 2.6 km lång kustremsa. I de västra delarna där samhället ligger har stränderna varit skyddade av strandskoningar sedan mitten av 1970-talet. Trots dessa skydd har flera hus blivit förstörda under stormar de senaste deceSevere beach erosion has for long been a great problem for the house owners at Löderup seaside resort in Scania, south Sweden. Several houses have been destroyed during storms the last decades, despite constructions of sea walls. The aim of the investigation has been to describe the status and changes of the coastline during one year from April 1991 to April 1992, to determine the extent of the co

Long time series of satellite remotely sensed Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as an indicator of vegetation greenness can be used in a broad range of research topics such as climate change, vegetation dynamics and desertification monitoring. The first phase of this study tests a practical method using Hyperion imagery onboard on Earth Observing-1 (EO1) spacecraft for simulation of MO

Climate migration is a global phenomenon that arises as a result of climate change. This thesis discusses the emergence of climate migration and what Sweden's contingency plan is for managing external climate migration in the future. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate Sweden's preventive work against international climate migration, and then the topic of climate justice and above

How does anti-tourism affect support for the EU? This question has gained a newly found relevance in recent years, as anti-tourism protests have appeared in many European cities with high levels of tourism. Despite this relevance, some elements of these protests have not received as much attention as they deserve. This thesis will aim to fill one of the gaps in the literature: how anti-tourism soc

Practitioners primarily utilise nonparametric methods when estimating Value-at- Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) for computing capital requirements. However, various researchers assert that there are issues with those estimates, particularly amidst periods of market turmoil. Academia produces novel parametric methods to estimate extreme risk measures to address these deficiencies. Neverthele

The number of supply chain disruptions has increased over the last couple of years. The Covid-19 Pandemic, blockage of the Suez Canal and Russian invasion of Ukraine are some well-known examples of disruptions. Academia seems to have noticed the increasing disruptions and has explored proactive Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) as an approach to address this. Consulting firms also suggest compan

Due to a combination of economic challenges as well as uncertain policy conditions in the United States and the European Union, the development of (advanced) biorefineries has been slower than anticipated. This has hampered the transition to a more sustainable and less carbon-intensive economy, namely the bioeconomy. In this thesis, the technological innovation system (TIS) approach is combined wi

Many cocoa farmers, despite their crucial role for the production of chocolate and other cocoa products that many consumers enjoy, struggle to earn a decent income and improve their livelihoods. This thesis analyses the impact of the Living Income Differential, a fixed 400$ price markup added to the per-tonne cocoa price, on the position of Ghanaian farmers in the global value chain. Based on the

The occurrence of climate change will have a significant impact on society and adapting to a more sustainable environment is of key importance. The dangers of climate change will include temperature and precipitation patterns becoming more extreme creating a substantial impact on society. Greece’s location and climate make it particularly vulnerable to a changing climate and climate impact assessm

This is a case study that aims to explain the adoption of the Victims’ Law by investigating the transnational advocacy networks’ work for the rights of the victims of the armed conflict in Colombia. Theories of transnational advocacy networks and opportunity structures are applied in order to understand the long term advocacy work for the victims’ rights, but also to explain their influence on the

The question of the Palestine refugees has been an issue to the United Nations’ General Assembly (UNGA) ever since its creation in 1948, and it has played an immense role in the Israeli-Palestine conflict. Everyone involved wants to find a solution to the problem, but 65 years on, the issue is as complex as it has ever been. The question of which actor have the main human rights responsibility for

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to explore possible cost effective strategies for increasing brand awareness amongst certain stakeholder groups of an acquired, previously well known brand operating in a high tech B2B industry. Methodology: A qualitative, exploratory case study of RUAG Space AB, an acquired company previously holding high brand awareness in Sweden, was conducted. This was

Objectives: Our aim was to compare direct costs for single pill combinations (SPCs) and free-drug combinations for hypertension treatment. Methods: We focused on Australia as a case study and reviewed total costs, and for the patient and government. We reviewed the Australian “Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme item drug map” considering different thresholds for the government safety net. Total costs

Background: The role of cystectomy in synchronous oligometastatic bladder cancer is unclear. Objective: To describe a population-based consecutive cohort with primary oligometastatic bladder cancer (M1a or M1b) treated with curative intent. Methods: Twenty consecutive patients with primary stage M1a or M1b bladder cancer subjected to induction chemotherapy and radical cystectomy 2013–2024 in the S

Statistics in Sweden show that more than 160,000 people applied for asylum in 2015 alone. Out of that number, over 35,000 applicants are unaccompanied minors ( Migrationsverket , 2016). The work around these minors is of utmost importance to ensure they can integrate to the society and become self-sufficient in the future. Under crisis conditions, allocating resources in the most effective and eff

This thesis examines the possible transjudicial interaction that may arise between the ICC and the IACtHR with regard to the interpretation of the crime of enforced disappearance of persons. This potential scenario of jurisprudential cross-fertilisation is considered on the fact that both, the IACtHR and the ICC exercise jurisdiction ratione materiae over the crime of enforced disappearance, there

Pupils tend to experience ‘attentional fatigue’ after persistently demanding their attentional system during school hours, resulting in decreased psychological well-being and a lack of attention, along with losses of other cognitive functions. Previous research found natural elements in a school environment to restore pupils’ depleted attentional system. The present study aimed at investigating na

Background: Low maternal awareness of fetal movements is associated with negative birth outcomes. Knowledge regarding pregnant women's compliance with programs of systematic self-assessment of fetal movements is needed. The aim of this study was to investigate women's experiences using two different self-assessment methods for monitoring fetal movements and to determine if the women had a preferen
