Hållbart resande i socialt utsatta områden En studie som genomförts vid Centrum för miljö- och klimatforskning (CEC) visar på att det finns vissa skillnader vad gäller resvanor i socialt utsatta områden jämfört med andra områden. På Rosengård i Malmö upplevs exempelvis behovet av att använda bilen som större jämfört med genomsnittet för Malmö kommun. Dessutom är cykeltillgången för området väldigRoad transportation is a large source of greenhouse gas emissions and contributor to climate change. To reduce the negative environmental impact from road transportation, the use of cars as a mode of transport should be reduced. This can be done by changed travel habits and sustainable transport planning. Previously, transportation planning and new investments have often been limited to higher soc

Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker en direkt aktion mot brännvinsbrännerier som genomfördes i Karlshamn, november 1853. Den arbetande befolkningen i staden var vid denna tid mycket upprörda över det faktum att de lokala brännvinsbrännerierna fick fortsätta att köpa upp och bränna spannmål och potatis, trots den ständigt ökande bristen på livsmedel. Genom att tillämpa den brittiske historiken E.P. ThThis thesis aims to investigate a case of worker’s direct action against distilleries of hard liquor (brännvin) in the southern Swedish town of Karlshamn, November 1853. Many people were angry because the distilleries were allowed to keep on distilling grains and potatoes despite the constantly increasing shortage of basic foodstuffs. By applying English historian E.P. Thompson’s theory of “the mo

This thesis investigates whether or not the Chinese growth is sustainable in the longer term. The two major economies China and India share several common features in terms of e.g. growth and size, as well as fundamental differences regarding factors such as institutions and politics. There is a possibility that India, a democratic country, possibly, in the longer time horizon will overtake China

The aim of this study is to analyze the environmental impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Sub-Saharan Africa. Over the last decades, increasing levels of environmental degradation have been recorded and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is a region that is particularly vulnerable to these climatic changes. It has been claimed that the environmental degradation, with rising levels of CO2 emission,

Nutrient recovered faecal sludge is a novel alternative fertilizer product, and is proposed to be promoted in places where improvement in sanitation management is needed, for example in Uganda’s capital Kampala. However, Uganda and most of Africa is perceived as a faecofobic area, i.e. where faeces are stigmatized and guarded by taboos, and there is lacking information regarding Ugandan farmers’ p

Bakgrund: Inom palliativ vård möter arbetsterapeuter ett dilemma eftersom fokus ofta ligger på att öka patientens självständighet, underlätta återgång till roller, aktiviteter och relationer. Denna tillvägagångssätt förbiser patienternas behov av att förbereda sig inför döden och få en meningsfull avslutning. Denna studie fokuserar på patientens aktivitetshistoria som intervention och hur den bidr

I områden som idag är kulturbevarare finns det få möjligheter till en god avfallshantering, på grund av skyddet kulturmiljölagen bidrar med. Kulturmiljölagen hamnar då i konflikt med Sveriges miljömål, som strävar efter en god avfallshantering. Frågan är hur man på bästa sätt ska lösa denna konflikt, så att båda målen blir tillfredsställda och så att även kulturmärkta byggnader kan dra sitt strå tIn areas where buildings and surroundings are protected by the Swedish law of conservation of cultural heritage, it might be a challenge to maintain a municipal solid waste management system that favours a sustainable environment and lives up to the national environmental goals. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a solution to this discrepancy, with AF-borgen in central Lund

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate if a CEO with finance and accounting working experiences would affect corporate hedging decisions, in terms of the decision to hedge, the extent of hedging, and the type of hedging tools used.

Nation Branding är idag ett utbrett fenomen som allt fler länder spenderar enorma resurser på. Sverige är ett land som aktivt arbetar med sin nation branding i syfte att förbättra omvärldens uppfattning om landet. Detta exemplifierades inte minst när de som första och enda land i världen lämnade över dess officiella twitterkonto till sina medborgare genom initiativet “Curators of Sweden”, som syftNation Branding is today a widespread phenomenon which more and more countries spend enormous resources on. Sweden is a country that actively works with its nation branding in order to improve the outside world's perception of the country. This was exemplified when, as the first and only country in the world, they allowed their official twitter account to their citizens through the "Curat

This thesis treats compression testing of pillow-shaped paperboard packages. Virtual packages were defined and compression tests, simulated using a commercial software, were compared to physical compression tests of actual packages. The tests were conducted using different package configurations. Initially a single package was tested both physically, obtaining force-displacement data, as well as

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of trust on the predictive power of the Solow growth model, extended to use human capital as a growth inducing factor. Previous literature widely agrees that non-economic variables are, indeed, of great importance in predicting the growth of economies, and hence, we choose to develop a growth model taking the levels of trust into account, seei

Det blir allt vanligare att opereras vaken under regional och lokal anestesi vilket ställer andra krav på anestesisjuksköterskan gentemot användningen av generell anestesi. Därav är det av vikt att systematiskt granska samt sammanställa den evidens som föreligger, för att beskriva patienters upplevelser av att vara vaken under operation. Studiens syfte var att systematiskt sammanställa litteratur
