In today’s modern city planning are the so-called detailed development plans used for deciding how a specific area is supposed to be used and for what purpose. A problem which is occurring from time to time, is that some detailed development plans are not coming up as it was thought they would. Often it is seen that areas have more dwelling, parking space and in some cases big super markets than w

Global warming is a fact and everything indicates that the warming will continue in the next decades and affect the climate for hundreds of years to come. The climate risks that threaten the Earth globally are flooding, earthquakes, warmer climate, stronger winds, and increased risk for landslides. The climate changes will also affect Helsingborg and therefore the city needs to increase its abilit

In-depth qualitative interviews with fourteen Indonesian young adults were conducted to understand the ways in which they engage and create meaning of political memes, allowing for a closer examination on the media’s potential for contribu

Det finns idag många olika lösningar för att mäta fluidflöden. För att uppnå hög precision i mätningarna blir sensorernas tillverkningskostnad ofta hög och deras principer är generellt baserade på avancerad teori. I det här examensarbetet undersöks en ny mätprincip, baserad på konceptet för en vanlig rotameter. Den nya mätprincipen använder en solenoid för att skapa ett magnetiskt fält som håller Fluid flow measurement is a task for which many different solutions exist. For high precision sensors the production cost is high and measurement principle is generally based on advanced theory. In this thesis a new principle of fluid flow measurement, based on the concept of a conventional rotameter, is investigated. The new principle uses a solenoid to create a magnetic field to maintain a float

Multipla stressfaktorer och deras inverkan på jordens biologiska mångfald under Kenozoikum Multipla stressfaktorer, inkluderat faktorer med anknytning till klimatförändringar, har länge påvisats ha stark inverkan på biologisk mångfald över tid. För att undersöka möjligheten att förutspå potentiella framtida effekter på den globala mångfalden genomfördes därför en studie med huvudsakligt fokus på As multistressors have been shown to have significant effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, the following study was made with the purpose of examining how a number of stressors specifically connected to climate change may have varied during the latest 65,5 million years and whether it is possible to predict potential effects on global biodiversity in the future. The analyses focused o

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has started to address non-Party members, perceived as a bottom-up approach and an orchestration mode of governance, with the goal to ensure a global sustainable development. One powerful actor who has contributed to this ambition by establishing their own guidelines and collaborations are multinational corporations (MNCs). Within

This study investigates which possible incremental solutions there are for reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases from the largest sources of emissions in Danish agriculture and they are implemented by national measures. This is important because Denmark is required to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions from the sectors that are not part of the European Emission Trade System with 39% by 203

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.

The increase of shrub extent in arid and semi-arid environments is reducing the species richness all over the globe. This process of shrub encroachment was found to result from changes in anthropogenic land use, especially from too high or too low grazing intensity. The Great Alvar on the island Öland, Sweden, is a unique grassland ecosystem with a high species richness. Changes in land use patte

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
