Universities have an important role in moving society towards a more sustainable future. However, this will require us to repurpose universities, reorienting and refocusing the different university domains (education, research, campus, and outreach) towards sustainability. The governance structures and processes used to embed sustainability into the activities and operations of the institution are

This article addresses the obstacle avoidance problem for setpoint stabilization tasks in complex dynamic 2-D environments that go beyond conventional scenes with isolated convex obstacles. A combined motion planner and controller is proposed that integrates the favorable convergence characteristics of closed-form motion planning techniques with the intuitive representation of system constraints t

We present calculations on the formation of 258Rf in the reaction 50Ti+208Pb within the Langevin framework. The initital stage after contact of the colliding nuclei is dominated by a drift in the center-of-mass direction, while the subsequent process of forming a compound nucleus is diffusion dominated. The probability for the composite system to diffuse over the inner saddle is obtained by perfor

Published in 1892, St. George Jackson Mivart’s remarkably original article ‘Happiness in Hell’ was placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum almost immediately. In his article, Mivart proposed a solution to the problem of hell whose core contention is that hell is horrible only from a heavenly point of view. From a this-worldly point of view, by contrast, hell is a place of breathtaking felicity.

This chapter defines poverty, differentiates between absolute and relative poverty, and analyzes the criticisms of these concepts. Furthermore, the chapter analyzes the effects of poverty on child development according to developmental systems theory, listing direct, moderated, mediated, transactional, and community effects. Statistics on poverty for industrialized and developing countries are pro

Academic research on a global level and somewhat in Sweden has addressed the risks queer refugees face, uncovering vulnerabilities, their responses, and views on the agency. Though they left open questions about how much queer refugees can or can not respond to their vulnerabilities, how is this correlated to their agency, and what is the intersectionality of their experiences. This research aims

Uppsatsen har till syfte att beskriva och analysera vilken funktion förvaltningsrevisionen fyller i aktiemarknadsbolag som tillämpar Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning, samt ge förslag på hur förvaltningsrevisionen bör förändras i dessa bolag. Uppsatsen är till största del deduktiv då den tar sin utgångspunkt i teorier. Vidare grundas uppsatsen på en kvalitativ metod i form av semistrukturerade intervj

Nuvarande forskning om sexuella övergrepp i syskonrelation saknar familjens röst. Syftet med denna studie är att lyssna på föräldrars berättelser om hur familjen uppfattat, begripliggjort och hanterat sin situation sedan sexuella syskonövergrepp avslöjats. Vi mötte fem föräldrar med sådan erfarenhet för semistrukturerade intervjuer med öppna frågor, transkriberade i helhet och analyserade med inteThere is a lack of understanding what happens to and within a family after a disclosure of sibling sexual abuse. The aim was to study the unique experience of parents who experienced this kind of disclosure. We interviewed five parents using semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions. The interview was transcribed in whole and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Six

Authors: Gabriella Odell and Iga Sikora Title: "It's just that you get to see the families around the clock and that you’re not able to hide" - a qualitative study on employee perceptions of how the investigative work and families become influenced by the investigation in an institutional environment. Supervisor: Lina Ponnert In this study we looked into investigatory homes where ch

Aggressiv skatteplanering har i takt med den digitala ekonomin blivit alltmer vanligt. På grund av multinationella företags globala natur har dessa en fördel i skattehänseenden genom att de kan flytta vinster mellan länder i syfte att betala mindre skatt. Både inom OECD och EU pågår ett ständigt arbete med att minska den aggressiva skatteplaneringen globalt. Genom BEPS-projektet har ett par verktyIn the more digital economy aggressive tax planning has become increasingly common. Due to their global nature, multinational corporations can move profits between countries in order to reduce their taxes. Both the OECD and the EU are continuously working to reduce the aggressive tax planning globally. Through the BEPS project several tools have been developed. One of these is country-by-country-r

Accidents occur in the society daily which require the fire service to respond. The fires cause socio-economic cost estimated to the equivalent value of 7 billion SEK every year. One of the strategies used by the municipalities to reduce the effects of the accidents is to investigate the fires to be able to prevent similar fires in the future. Recent research suggests that the investigations needs
