Overfishing is one of the most serious problems threatening the health of the seas and local coastal communities. Marine Protected Areas with No Fishing Zones are valuable biodiversity conservation tools to ensure the sustainable use of diminishing fish stocks. Nevertheless, to be successful for long-term conservation these areas have to be monitored and rules must be enforced. Using semi-structur

Deep-sea mining (DSM) is an emerging extractive industry often portrayed as part of a sustainable oceanic ‘blue economy’ despite being characterized by profound ecological uncertainty. This thesis critically examines the emergence focusing on the extraction of polymetallic nodules, by developing two arguments. First, it argues that DSM represents the ‘subsumption of nature’ by examining its biophy

In July 2021, single-use plastics will be banned from the European market, meaning that the plastic straws used with Tetra Pak’s portion packs will no longer be permitted. Therefore, Tetra Pak develops new straws, and it is important to test their functionality, something that previously has been done with panel tests. However, Tetra Pak has requested to aid the development process by minimizing t

Life at a music festival can be both a blessing and a curse. It creates a feeling of escaping reality into euphoric happiness and freedom that only music festivals can bring. But one thing can drastically change this mood and make the living at the festival quite miserable – the weather. Rain as well as too high or low temperatures contribute to this negative change of mood. The festival chosen fo

The shift from internal combustion to electric engines is currently transforming the automotive industry. Yet, the business model path forward for electric vehicles (EVs) is still uncertain, as the perspectives of different industry actors, especially incumbents and new entrants deviate. The understanding of varying views regarding business model design thus needs to be intensified. Therefore, the

Snabbt växande skulder ökar risken för en finansiell kris. En bankkris utlöses oftast av en negativ chock i hushålls eller företags högt belånade tillgångar. Under 2000-talet har ekonomiskt avancerade länder ökat användningen av makrotillsynsåtgärder, restriktioner och krav på finansiella institutioner och hushåll med syfte att minska systematisk risk. Målen med åtgärderna är att öka bankers likviA high growth rate in debt increases the risk of a financial crisis. A bank crisis most commonly occurs as a result of a negative chock to highly leveraged assets own by companies or households.

Att vara polis innebär ett stort ansvar samtidigt som utsatthet, hot och våld för yrkesgruppen är ett utbrett fenomen. Därutöver är polisyrket en manligt dominerad bransch, där kvinnor utgör en minoritet, varför det är aktuellt att undersöka hur kvinnliga polisers arbetssituation ser ut mot denna bakgrund. Den här studien (n = 31) använde ett kvantitativt enkätinstrument med kvalitativa inslag förThreat and violence is common for police officers to endure. In addition, the police profession is a male-dominated area, where women constitute a minority, hence it is relevant to study female police officers’ work situation in relation to these factors.
