In contrast to the Western ideal of secularization, religion has in some cultures maintained its important role in nationalist undertakings. This is the case in Myanmar, a country that is currently in the midst of a state transformation towards democracy after more than fifty years of authoritarian, military rule. This religious nationalism has been taken to a higher level of chauvinism and violen
The image of Malmö is to me, and others that hasn’t grown up in the city, a fairly grey story. Blocks after blocks of brick buildings housing the former workers of the great industries that once were the pillars of the city. The face of the city has changed quite radically in recent years and my personal image of the city has been diversified with new places, buildings and environments, which cons
The city of Malmö has seen growing media attention recent years in light of increased reporting on its anti-Semitism. The media image is one where the Jewish population is constantly harassed and threatened. This study aims to clarify whether or not there has been an actual increase of anti-Semitism in Malmö, what might be causing it, and with this shed light on modern anti-Semitism. Limiting the
Mellanskarven - oskyldigt dömd? För att dömas skyldig i Sverige ska det vara bortom rimligt tvivel att den tilltalande gjort sig skyldig till brottet. Mellanskarven (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) har på många håll runt om i Europa påståtts ligga bakom förändringar i fisksamhällen och ett försämrat fiske. I Krankesjön förefaller det saknas brottsoffer. Mellanskarven är en fågel som har ökat i anThis study analyzed highly detailed long-term information about occurrence of cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) and the fish community composition in lake Krankesjön, southern Sweden. Moreover, cormorant predation with regards to species and size preference were estimated using data from recovered PIT (Passive Integrated Transponders) tags. The results shows that the cormorant population h
More and more people become aware of climate change and that society needs to be adapted, so that damage can be minimized. Property owners, such as Riksbyggen, wants to be able to map the risks for their buildings. The purpose of this work is to find suitable methods for detailed risk mapping. First, a mapping has been conducted over damage on buildings that is linked to the climate in Scania. The
En fastighetsaffär är för många privatpersoner den överlägset största affären de gör i hela livet. Varje år säljs och köps småhus för över 124 miljarder. En undersökning från Länsförsäkringar visar att en tredjedel av alla köpare oroar sig för förekomsten av ”dolda fel” i den köpta fastigheten. Mot bakgrund av den oron är det inte så konstigt att konsumentrådgivningar och liknande organisationer fA real estate transaction is for many individuals by far the largest transaction they make throughout life. Each year, sold and bought houses makes up for a value of more than 124 billion SEK. A survey, by the insurance company Länsförsäkringar, shows that one third of all buyers are concerned about the existence of "latent defects" in the purchased property. Given the turmoil, it is not
We have investigated the CO induced faceting of a Rh(553) surface using Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES). The sample was exposed to a CO pressure of 1x10^-3 mbar, at different sample temperatures. The experiment was performed in the STM lab at the division of Synchrotron Radiation Research at Lund University. AccordinMy bachelor thesis deals with the change of Rhodium (Rh) stepped surface under pure carbon monoxide exposure, which will help the understanding of it as a catalyst of carbon monoxide oxidation. Catalysts are widely used in different areas and industries as catalysis can help accelerating chemical reactions without itself being consumed. Rh is a metal catalyst used in the oxidation of CO to CO2. T
Seismisk undersökning stärker förvalt-ningen av den byggda miljön Den byggda miljön är full av plattor: t.ex. bjälklag, grunder och vägbanor. Nya algoritmer för utvärdering av seismiska undersökningar öppnar dörrar för att modellera plattor med mer komplicerade geometrier. Genom-förda simuleringar visar att t.ex. väg-banor kan modelleras enkelt. Författare: Christian Nielsen Examensarbete: Semi-AnGuided waves have a signicant potential for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) due to their relatively long distance of propagation and sensitivity to discontinuities along the propagation path, anywhere through the material thickness. The inability to model wave guides of arbitrary cross-section using current matrix methods, has led to the development of a techni
År 2011 kom det första auktoritära ”soft law” dokumentet inom området företag och mänskliga rättigheter,”UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human rights”. I detta dokument åläggs företag ett ansvar att respektera mänskliga rättigheter genom att använda sig av en s.k."human rights due diligence" (HR DD). Denna ska bl.a. innehålla en "root cause analysis" för att överensstämmaIn 2011, the UN Guiding Principles (UNGPs) became the first authoritative international standard regarding the field of business and human rights. The document states a responsibility for companies to respect human rights. The operational principle of due diligence in the UNGPs is designed as a tool for companies to use in order to be able to respect human rights. However, if the due diligence is
Farligt gods definieras som ett ämne eller föremål som på grund av dess beskaffenheter kan orsaka skada på person, egendom och miljö, exempelvis bensin, gasol och svavelsyra. Farligt gods transporteras på vägar genom hela landet för att möjliggöra industriprocesser eller andra samhällsnyttiga funktioner. För att garantera att bebyggelse intill dessa vägar inte är utsatta för oacceptabla risker genRisk assessment regarding transportation of hazardous material is a central decision support in urban planning close transportation routes for hazardous material in Sweden. Risk assessment regarding transportation of hazardous is also uncertain and can give various results. In order to highlight this a comparative study is made to describe the differences in risk assessments both regarding impleme
Trots ett flertal överväganden om införande av en samtyckesreglering, har debatten kring en sådan reglering och våldtäktsbestämmelsen aldrig avstannat. Detta är ett ämne som väcker starka känslor, samt engagerar allmänheten och media i debatten. Flera sexualbrottsutredningar har tillsatts för att på uppdrag av regeringen utreda om en samtyckesreglering borde införas i den svenska lagstiftningen fDespite numerous deliberations of introducing a consent-based legislation, the debate has never ceased. This is a subject that evokes strong emotions among the public and media, which engages them in the debate. Several Sexual Offences Commissions have been assigned by the Government to investigate whether a consent-based regulation should be passed as law to reinforce the right to sexual self-de
In recent years new ways to deal with trade barriers, aside from the traditional tariff and quota reductions, has been introduced to trade negotiations. These have the collective name of trade facilitation and focuses on the less visible parts of barriers to trade. As this started to be discussed in policy circles economic research picked up interest as well. However, focus in the research has bee
Ett hållbart samhälle är en fras som blir allt mer aktuell i dagens samhälle. I arbetet mot en hållbar utveckling innefattar det att människan bör lära sig att hantera begränsade resurser, så som olja eller fosfor, på ett sådant sätt att framtida generationer inte blir lidande av dagens användning. En av många viktiga åtgärder mot ett hållbart samhälle är minska användandet av energi. Denna studieThe oil crisis in the 1970’s made countries realize their dependence on oil; and with it a dependence of other countries. To be self-sufficient and to be able to decrease the impact of economic crises, such as the oil crisis, some countries have started searching for renewable alternatives for fossil fuels. In the same process the importance of saving energy has become another vital action towards
