Spridning och etablering av invasiva främmande arter har en negativ inverkan på biologisk mångfald, människors hälsa och ekonomin. Jättebalsamin (Impatiens glandulifera) är en invasiv främmande växt som finns med på EU:s lista över invasiva främmande arter och ska bekämpas i Sverige. Flera studier har gjorts angående växtens egenskaper, spridning och påverkan på invaderade områden. Syftet med denThe spread of invasive alien species poses great risks for biodiversity, human health and economies. Impatiens glandulifera, an invasive alien plant which has been listed in The European list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern, is widely spread in Sweden. Multiple studies have been made regarding the plant’s characteristics, spread and impacts on invaded areas. The purpose of this study i

Geography is the study of knowledge in a given location, and history is the study of knowledge over time. The combination of changes over time has always been challenging to visualize in maps. The main aim of this thesis was to analyze differences between various methods used to visualize spatio-temporal data with open-source web mapping technology. The methodology of this thesis has been split in

Denna uppsats kretsar kring prestigeskapande och formandet av social hierarki bland unga män inom den statliga institutionsstyrelsens (sis) omvårdnad. Metoden för detta arbete utgörs av kvalitativa intervjuer med institutionens personal såväl som litteratur baserat kring kulturellt, symboliskt och ekonomiskt kapital och dess förhållande till individ, kollektiv och sociala fält.

This study seeks to determine how elementary school teachers in Denmark versus Sweden experience their national school law when it comes to values within it. It also examines how Danish and Swedish teachers work to ensure motivation for learning and how they work to prepare their students for active democratic citizenship. This bachelor’s thesis is based upon a small qualitative analysis of six in

The purpose of this study is to analyze how digitalization can improve the brand experience in the fragrance industry.

'Can it ever be okay to kidnap a wife?’ This thesis combined fieldwork observations with narrative interviews from twenty-two kidnapped women from an ethnographic four- month research stay in Kyrgyzstan. From a starting point, the thesis took a normative framework, understanding that everyone has the right to equal rights. The framework relied on the global monitor mechanisms, CEDAW and CAT, w

Avian malaria parasites are prevalent all around the world and infect a wide diversity of bird species. In this report the prevalence of Plasmodium lineages in Spanish house sparrows was studied. According to previous research, higher variation of Plasmodium lineages could be expected in southern climates. This was tested by using samples collected from Spain and performing nested PCR with primers

To reach its climate goals, in 2020, Germany decided to phase out coal as a particularly emissions-intensive source of energy. Although environmental associations demanded a much earlier date for the phase-out, the final coal phase-out law set the phase-out date to 2038. One factor responsible for delayed climate action are discourses that highlight the downsides of climate policies, including the

This work provides an overview of transfer pricing itself, how the tax regulation of transfer pricing has changed in EU and the analysis of changes in revenue and profits of 5 different Transnational corporations from Denmark. The analysis was made by looking into annual reports of these corporations for more than a decade and comparing the result with the time of introduction of BEPS plan and the

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the usage of NFT’s in branding through the introduction of a framework that explores the correlation between the practical benefits for the NFT user and Brand Awareness or Brand Loyalty for the Brand. Methodology: To fulfill the papers’ purpose we conducted a literature review and a qualitative study exploring four different cases; NBA, J.D. Sports

This paper aims to investigate methods deployed by brands to increase accessibility while maintaining brand identity, particularly in premium and luxury brands. A literature review will provide a basis for a deeper understanding of brand identity, accessibility, and rejuvenation. Within this paper case studies of collaborations and alternative product offerings by premium brands will be analysed.

The release of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) has substantially increased the global mean surface air temperature. Increases in global mean surface air temperature will lead to warmer and drier conditions, promoting more frequent, long-lasting, intense forest wildfires. The usage of remote sensing (RS) can aid in quantifying forest characteristics and large-scale changes in forest ecosystem

During the 21st century, public diplomacy and branding received a new angle and application closely related with the meaning of securitization. Even though the importance of this meaning, researchers nowadays notice a research gap considering the three above-mentioned fields. NATO, as a popular security brand, represents an under-researched sui generis organization that gets involved with securiti

The purpose of this thesis work is to investigate whether a dynamic chassis can possibly enhance hygiene chairs used in hospitals and elderly care. The problem with a lot of today’s products is the difficulty of manoeuvring the hygiene chair in tight spaces, and to allow for a high enough seating position to contribute to a more ergonomic working position for caregivers during showering. Thereof i

Trade integration is thought to benefit developing countries, so what is the cost of staying out of trade agreements? This paper studies the case of Nigeria, which, like its neighbours in West Africa and other ACP countries, has the option of entering an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the European Union (EU), but has chosen not to. Hence, this study investigates the question: Would Nige

In 2018 Greece enacted the Energy Communities (EC) Law which promotes energy democracy and Justice. Although there are several successful examples of ECs in Greece, they are far from becoming mainstream as they face many problems. I used the policy challenges framework provided by Busch et. all., (2021) in order to analyze the problems related to the diffusion of ECs in Greece and propose solution

Water scarcity is an increasingly prevalent problem, with changing hydrological regimes due to climate change and human development taxing freshwater systems. One way to tackle this issue is through planned water reuse. This thesis explores the context of the agricultural application of treated wastewater in the European Union where Directive 2020/741 Minimum Requirements for Water Reuse was recen

Decarbonization, digitalization and decentralisation are the most important factors presently influencing energy systems worldwide. Of those, digitalization is understudied and often only analysed from a technological perspective. Energy digitalization could however fulfil important monitoring and operational functions, in energy systems which will likely become more complex. This paper therefore
