The principle of the ‘Responsibility to Protect’ or ‘R2P’, adopted by states at the World Summit in 2005, establishes that states have a responsibility to protect their citizens, and if a state fails to do so, the responsibility falls upon the international community. In Myanmar, the Rohingya crisis and the military coup of 2021 has displayed the widespread systematic violations of human rights. D

This thesis analyzes a case of transnational environmental justice between Chile and Sweden following toxic waste exports in the 1980’s. Thematic analysis is applied to explore concepts of time and space presented amongst the different actors. Drawing from decolonial environmental justice theory, the thesis compares the use of linear Western time and the indigenous concept of Pachamama. The second

A case study into the workings of the municipal veto-right to wind power turbines in Sweden. National and global goals on renewable energy sources in the energy mix, to decrease CO2 emissions, are in need of institutionally and judicially sound frameworks that captures connotations of sustainability both in a technological and social dimension. The paper positions itself in the field of Science an

I dagsläget är det få studier som undersökt skillnader mellan binära och icke-binära transpersoner. Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka huruvida det förelåg en skillnad i könsdysfori, könskongruens, i vilken utsträckning man lever i enlighet med sin könsidentitet, samt graden av socialt stöd mellan binära och icke-binära transpersoner inom den svenska transvården. För att begripliggöra könsTo date there are few studies investigating the difference between binary and non-binary transgender people. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences between binary and non-binary patients in swedish transgender care, with regards to the level of gender dysphoria, gender congruence, living in accordance with one’s gender identity and social support. To better understand

Flyktiga organiska ämnen (Volatile organic compounds, eller VOCs) är en samlingsbeteckning som omfattar alla kolväten vars kokpunkt understiger 250 °C och uppgår till cirka 2000 ämnen. Dessa ämnen förekommer brett inom all kemisk industri och är ofta resultatet av flyktiga lösningsmedel som sprider sig i luften. Vid längre mänsklig exponering av VOCs kan en myriad av hälsokomplikationer uppstå, ocSeveral channeled emissions at the Sysav water treatment plant for hazardous waste as of December 2021 exceed permitted levels of unknown volatile organic compounds (VOCs) stated in the European Parliament councils’ directives 2010/75/EU. A range of possible treatment methods are briefly discussed before zeolite adsorption, and thermal regeneration followed by catalytic combustion is decided to b

This thesis seeks to investigate the role of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris Agreement, and the Swedish Climate Act in the transition to net-zero in energy intensive industries, with a focus on the steel sector. Several empirical studies have previously been done on both national and international policies and how they influence low-carbon transitions and technological innovati

Heating is a big factor in protected horticulture and current high fuel prices mean many UK growers cannot afford to plant this season’s crops. Meanwhile, vast quantities of surplus heat exist, often an unwanted by-product of other industries. Theoretically, this heat could be used to offset fossil fuel consumption in horticulture, reducing cost and environmental impact. Despite technical and econ

This thesis presents the study of two-particle pseudorapidity correlations in pp-collisions at √s = 13 TeV using the ALICE detector at LHC, CERN. The correlation function was calculated as a function of multiplicity and was repeated for several multiplicity classes and different charge combinations in the forward-backward and central regions of the detector, respectively. The results reveal an enh

Sedan vi började musikhögskolan har vi intresserat oss mer för pianomaterial och reflekterat över vad som i själva verket är ett bra pianomaterial. Studien syftar till att undersöka pianopedagogers tankar kring vad som kännetecknar ett bra läromedel i piano, vilka parametrar som är viktiga vid eget skapande av undervisningsmaterial samt vad pianopedagoger vill uppnå med sin undervisning. DatainsamSince we started the Academy of Music, we've been more interested in piano material and reflected on what is in fact a good piano material. The study aims to investigate piano educators' thoughts on what characterizes a good music teaching material in piano, what parameters are important in their own creation of teaching materials and what piano educators want to achieve with their teachin
