Under de senaste åren har södra halvklotet och den vidsträckta Södra oceanen fått ökad upp-märksamhet och betydelse inom det vetenskapliga samfundet med avseende på globala klimatförändringar och den globala CO2-cykeln, särskilt vad gäller förhållandena under senaste istidsmaximum (Last Glacial Maximum, LGM) och holocen. Man menar att Västvindbältet på södra halvklotet (Southern Hemisphere WesterlIn recent years, the Southern Hemisphere (SH) and the vast Southern Ocean (SO) have gained awareness and importance within the scientific community in relation to global climate change and the global CO2 cycle, par-ticularly since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and into the Holocene. It is believed that the Southern Hemi-sphere Westerlies (SHW) play a key role in regulating climate change in the m
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children and adolescents is increasing in the world and the United States of America (US). Previous research has shown that the nurse has an important role in the management of T2DM in children and adolescents but few studies has covered how the nurses perceive and experience this role. This paper aimed to describe how nurses in the US experience their role and t
Over the past 150 years, industrialization, globalization and population growth have altered the planet and its natural conditions at a rapid pace. In this new era, the Anthropocene, environmental degradation has come to a state where sustainable ecosystem management has developed into an urgent quest for humans to maintain their own life-support system. The ecosystem services (ES) concept, initia
Olympic legacy was previously seen as a potential burden on the host city, however an evolutionary shift has occurred whereby it can now be regarded as an instrument in wider urban policy planning. Sustainable development is a requirement set by some governments, and London 2012 aimed to use the Olympic legacy for sustainable development in the form of urban regeneration. This paper is a case stud
With the rise of serious environmental threats brought about by climate change, governments, organizations, leaders, and academics are constantly seeking ways to address this growing concern, and the development of a circular economy model is seen as a viable solution towards ensuring environmental sustainability alongside economic growth. The concept of circular economy has been defined in a mult
Belgium is celebrated for its progressive LGBTI legislation, ranking second on the ILGA index. At the same time Belgian LGBTQIA+ people experience alarmingly high rates of violence and fear. This thesis examines two competing narratives about the relationship between LGBTI legislation and LGBTQIA+ experiences of safety: (1) ‘LGBTQIA+ safety requires state protection’; and (2) ‘LGBTQIA+ safety requ
Payments for ecosystem services (PES), a mechanism of incentives or compensation to landowners for provision of ecosystem services, have grown as a tool for meeting conservation goals. The Costa Rican payments for ecosystem services (PSA) program is one of the best-known examples because of being one of the most established. Despite this, the PSA program and many other PES programs do not monitor

In February 2002, the UNITA rebel leader Jonas Savimbi was shot dead by Angolan Government forces, thereby putting an end to almost four decades of war in Angola. Once peace had been declared, the Government of Zambia together with the Government of Angola and the UNHCR began to make arrangements for the voluntary repatriation of the large Angolan refugee population residing in Zambia. However, du
This study contributes to existing theory by underlining that product brands do have a gender. In addition, the results of this study show that the need for product gender congruence is minimized in Generation Y. Therefore, rethinking the traditional gender stereotyping of products may have more consumer appeal by being marketed to both sexes, or at least to emphasize more of the products attribut
