In the past decades, China's rise has set off a shift from the unipolar era, rendering the South China Sea (SCS) a theatre for revived great power rivalry. In this environment, the behavior of secondary states navigating the heavy seas of the SCS dispute has drawn significant academic attention to the study of small and middle-power strategy. This thesis focused on the strategic response emplo

Arctic amplification (AA) is defined as the enhanced warming of the surface temperatures in the Arctic region relative to the globe or Northern Hemisphere (NH) in response to external forcings. It is a prominent feature of the climate system. Various metrics have been used in studies to quantify AA, and this introduces a challenge when comparing studies due the differences in AA magnitudes. This s

Syftet med denna rapport är att ta reda på vad kontorets framtida roll kommer att innebära för individen och organisationen. Nya behov växer däremot fram i takt med att omvärlden förändras, därför kommer även rapporten att syfta till hur dagens kontor kan anpassas genom ett cirkulärt perspektiv, i takt med att behoven förändras. Genom en identifiering av framtidens behov och en kartläggning över hThe purpose of this report is to find out what the future role of the office will mean for the individual and the organization. New needs, on the contrary, emerge as the world around us changes, therefore the report will also focus on how today's offices can be adapted through a circular perspective, as needs changes.

El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) drives global weather and can be forecasted with a 6-12 months lead time. It’s also widely believed that there’s a relationship between phases of ENSO and extreme weather events such as extreme heat or precipitation. This thesis focuses on the relationship between Oceanic Nino Index (ONI) in Nino region 3.4 and monthly temperature data in Taiwan, from 1980 to

Purpose: A Contribution to the understanding of plant-based consumption by researching how bodybuilders navigate identity issues associated with a plant-based diet.

The blue economy emerged as sustainable, inclusive and equitable alternative to traditional oceans economy. However, the current paradigm of oceans as development spaces has led to an acceleration of competing uses of marine resources causing ecosystem deterioration and human rights abuses that disproportionately affect vulnerable small-scale fisheries. Blue justice movements seek to reconcile env

Tänk om vi kunde minska utsläppen av koldioxid och samtidigt hitta en återvinningsprocess för ett material som vanligtvis anses oåtervinningsbart. Detta examensarbete gör just detta. Hittar den bästa processen för att producera ett cementlikt material från kasserad glasull Materialitet kallas geopolymerer. Geopolymerer ar vanligtvis en blandning av lera med ett högt kisel innehåll och en basisk vGeopolymers are amorphous inorganic polymeric structures. They are used as binding agents and can be compared to cementitious materials such as ordinary Portland cement. This thesis aims to produce geopolymers from waste glass wool. Today glass wool is found in isolation, both thermal and sound insulation, and it is not being recycled. Most of the glass wool waste ends in landfills. Studies have b

Följande studie är en fallstudie på fastighetsdigitalisering ur ett ägarperspektiv. Studien är genomförd för att uppfylla två områden. Del ett är att klargöra den klimatkris som vi står inför och fastighetsbranschens andel i den krisen. Del två är att redovisa hur fastighetsdigitalisering utvecklas, används och hur den kan hjälpa till att optimera fastigheter och fastighetsföretag.

In this text we continue the work of describing subalgebras of K[x] of finite codimension that was started in Describing subalgebras of K[x] using derivatives. In the referenced paper, the authors present how univariate subalgebras can be described by conditions based on evaluations in certain scalars, and proceed to develop a large theoretical framework to understand the nature of such conditions.

During the past two decades, the higher education sector has undergone rapid changes as a result of which many higher education institutions (HEIs) find themselves being compared to other institutions. Global rankings have become the prime mechanism for providing such comparisons. How nations and their HEIs respond to the developments in the higher education sector is context-specific. There is a

The need to curb global warming is evident, and efficient climate policies are essential. But within the democratic context, public support for climate politics is needed to implement mitigation efforts. Sweden has long been known as a forerunner for climate change mitigation, however, there are indications that the voters’ interest in climate politics is waning. This study aims to visualize the e

Idag sker majoriteten av alla kommersiella fastighetstransaktioner via bolag. Detta sker genom att först låta paketera fastigheterna i bolag, för att sedan avyttra aktierna i bolagen där fastigheterna ingår. Drivkraften bakom förvärvsmetoden är sänkta transaktionskostnader, främst genom skattebesparingar. Detta innebär att allt färre transaktioner sker på traditionellt vis, det vill säga som fast The trend of increasing commercial real estate transactions via companies has a negative impact on the process of estimating the taxable values. This due to the sharp decrease of comparison material for our Swedish authorities. Real estate transactions via companies also enable information about the transaction to be kept secret from outside parties. The study aims to show how various parties in t
