Relating closely to privacy and identity is the question of surveillance and self-governance, both of which are f

Klimatförändringar framhålls som vår tids stora ödesfråga. En global temperaturökning kommer att få långtgående och svåröverskådliga effekter på hela världen. I denna uppsats krymps dock perspektivet en aning, och fokuserar på hur klimatförändringarna påverkar det svenska skogsbruket. Genom att betrakta den svenska skogsvårdslagen med tillhörande förordningar och föreskrifter ur ett klimatanpassniClimate change has been considered as the great threat of our time. Global warming will have far-reaching and unwieldy consequences for our planet. The perspective of this essay is a little narrower: The area of investigation in this essay is how climate change will affect the Swedish forestry production. By regarding the Swedish forestry legislation from a climate adaptation perspective, this ess

The aim of this study was to investigate whether social media influence young adults’ food choices through social modelling. Before the main study, a pilot was conducted to improve and develop scales for measuring the influence of social modelling, as well as some control variables. In the main study, 354 young adult participants (ages 18-35) were recruited through social media and completed an on

The purpose of this project was to develop a better understanding of the re- sponse of a pixelated thermal-neutron detector, which will be used as a thermal- neutron detector at one of the beam lines at the European Spallation Source in Lund, Sweden. The detector consists of a thin Lithium6-glass scintillator, a multi-anode photomultiplier tube and associated read-out electronics. Initial characte

Being subject to the accusations of criminal and business wrongdoing, the companies tend to address the public concerns with a help of different communications.

Presterar barn som blivit ammade bättre inom utbildning och arbetsmarknad som ungdomar och vuxna? Investeringar i insatser som främjar och stödjer amning kan leda till mer humankapital på lång sikt. Amning har många hälsorelaterade fördelar för både mamma och barn, trots detta byts bröstmjölk allt för ofta ut mot modersmjölksersättning. Denna studie jämför långsiktiga prestationer inom utbildning Does being breastfed as a baby lead to better achievements in education and on the labour market as an adolescent and adult? Investing money on interventions promoting and sustaining breastfeeding might lead to more human capital and be an economic gain in the long-run. Breastfeeding has many health-related benefits for both mother and child, nevertheless breast milk all too often gets substituted

Uppsatsen handlar om statsvetenskapliga institutionen vid Lunds universitet, formell respektive informell makt inom institutionen och huruvida den akademiska friheten påverkas av styrformen inom institutionen.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), ofta översatt till svenska som företagens samhällsansvar, är något som diskuterats flitigt under de senaste åren. Utvecklingen av CSR har dock pågått sedan 1950-talet och fortsätter att utvecklas än idag. Majoriteten av denna utveckling har skett inom den ekonomiska vetenskapen och inom ramen för företagens arbete med CSR. Det är först under de senaste 20 åreCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is something that has been discussed heavily in recent years. The development of CSR has been evolving since the 1950s and continues to evolve today. The majority of this development has taken place in economic science and within the framework of the companies work with CSR. It is only in the last 20 years that lawyers have seriously interested themselves in t

Integrated modular avionics (IMA) architecture is an emerging concept in the military aerospace industry after being successfully implemented in the commercial domain. The highly modular architecture allows multiple aviation applications to execute on the same hardware thanks to defined standards by Aeronautical Radio, Incorporated (ARINC). System architects are responsible for designing and takin

This thesis compares the performance of the first-differenced maximum likelihood estimator (FDML) and the Blundell-Bond continuously-updating system GMM estimator of the autoregressive parameter in an AR(1) dynamic panel model without exogenous covariates, particularly focusing on the close-to-non-stationary case. This case is far from trivial, as a high degree of persistence is the norm rather th

Fossila bränslen är mycket viktiga för dagens samhälle och transportsektorn är nästan helt beroende av dem. Tyvärr påverkar de miljön negativt och bidrar till att växthusgasnivå ökar. Jordens medeltemperatur har ökat med 0.8°C sedan början av industrialiseringen. Den globala uppvärmningen är ett naturligt förlopp, men har under de senaste åren varit en stor del av människors bidrag. Idag har atmosOil is very important for today’s society and the transportation sector is almost completely dependent on this material. Unfortunately, it affects the level of greenhouse gases negatively which in turn contribute to global warming. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially in the sectors that emit the most, as transportation sector. The European Parliament has decid

The dopamine transporter (DAT) is responsible for dopamine (DA) clearance in the synaptic cleft, and thus crucial for maintaining DA homeostasis in the central nervous system (CNS). Mutations in the DAT coding gene have been associated with both movement and psychiatric disorders, such as parkinsonism and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, the detailed contribution of DAT in

With growing awareness about their environmental impact, music festivals have increased their efforts to become greener since the 2000s. In line with this trend, the German Fuchsbau Festival developed a transport plan, taking into account that up to 80.0% of a festival’s emissions are produced through audience travel. Aiming at triggering a greener travel behaviour among its visitors, four measure
