REDD+ "The Win-Win" Solution?: Operationalizing REDD+ Safeguards in Indonesia and Malaysia's National Policy Arenas

Over the past decade UNFCCC’s climate scheme, “REDD+”, has gained precedence in climate policy spheres; Its immaculate ‘win-win’ solution—to institute a global market- based system for climate change, whereby developed nations pay individual forest users to espouse more sustainable forestry practices—has drawn in the lion’s share of critical debates amongst policymakers, civil society organization

Corporate myopia in a blockholder setting

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the fraction of shares owned by institutional investors causes more or less myopia than other investors. Moreover, we look into the role of blockholders and ownership concentration and their effects. The methodology of this paper consists of a level regression model and a first-difference regression model where the dependent variable R&D-to-

Bilden av en Krigare : ett viktigt vapen när stereotyper utmanas

På flera Instagramkonton går det att observera kvinnor med tydlig tillhörighet i olika länders försvar som publicerar bilder där de presenterar sig själva helt i enlighet med stereotypa förväntningar på en feminin självpresentation. Handväskan har visserligen bytts ut mot en automatkarbin men poserna är desamma. Genom att kombinera en kvinnlig framtoning med en manligt kodad bransch skapar dessa b

Negotiating Dangdut sexuality : a glance through female audiences' music enjoyment

Dangdut as the most popular music in Indonesia is highly sexualized on its representation of women despite the fact that Indonesia is a religious country. Dangdut’s sexualization is prominent on its performance, lyrics and culture. Banality, is the face of dangdut. During its public shows, many of the male audiences are more often than not intoxicated and engage in physical fights. Yet to date, th

The effect of groundwater extraction on nitrate vulnerable recharge areas (NFI) in Denmark. MIKE SHE simulations of different extraction scenarios.

This thesis aims to outline the effect of different abstraction scenarios on the extent of nitrate vulnerable recharge area (NFI) in two study areas in Denmark. NFI were designated in order to protect vulnerable groundwater resources from nitrate pollution, where the geology overlying the aquifers does not serve as a sufficient barrier. NFI are officialy calculated by taking into consideration th

Kring Stenarna - En lägerskola i tegel

When you first step ashore the island of Ven, in Öresund right between Sweden and Denmark, you have two options. Either you go straight ahead, towards the bike rental, or you turn to your right and start walking along the shore. If you do so, you will soon start to find colourful pebbles on the ground along the waterline. Some are round and soft to the touch, others are rough and edgy, and they ar

After-market spare parts inventory centralization at Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology.

Background: In spare parts logistics, customers expect a high availability of spare parts from their providers. It is very critical for spare parts providers to be able to satisfy customers’ demands. It acts as a differentiator in the customer’s buying decision. Sandvik, an engineering company, is interested in improving their spare parts logistics. The case company is interested in benefits from

Att släppa kontroll för att få kontroll - En studie om fjärdepartslogistiska relationer

En allt mer konkurrensinriktad marknad har ökat behovet för företag att fokusera på sin kärnkompetens. Givet denna utveckling har större nätverk med fler involverade parter vuxit fram, vilket lett till att fler företag börjat vända sig till en fjärde part. Fjärdepartslogistik innefattar en komplex integrering av försörjningskedjans alla komponenter och ett för kunden större överlåtande av sin verk

Effektivisering av riskhantering med BIM

Syfte Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur ett byggprojekts riskhantering kan användas med BIM. Studien skall undersöka vilka behov dagens riskhantering har av BIM-baserad metodik och ange de lösningar som finns att tillgå i dagsläget. Genom att identifiera och kartlägga metoder för riskhantering, både med och utan BIM, kan en analys göras om vilka metoder som kan effektivisera riskhanteringen.

Measurement of particle yields induced by 200-MeV protons on multiple targets

One way to probe the structure of atomic nuclei far from stability is via quasi-free scattering (QFS) reactions. We conducted a (p,2p) QFS experiment on H2O, 112Sn, 124Sn and 208Pb targets in order to test the performance of CsI(Tl) detectors that are to be used in the upcoming R3B experiments at FAIR. With the help of particle tracking and reconstructive particle identification (RPID) cuts based

Uppstår konflikter mellan transparens och GDPR i läkemedelsutveckling?

Området för läkemedelsutveckling genom kliniska prövningar står inför stora utmaningar i och med tillämpningen av EU:s nya dataskyddsförordning, GDPR. Förordningen ska tillämpas på all behandling av personuppgifter som sker inom EU eller kopplat till unionen. Detta får enorm påverkan på alla organisationer som hanterar personuppgifter, inom alla branscher. Den organisation som handlar i strid mot The area of ​​drug development through clinical trials is facing major challenges in the application of the EU's new data protection regulation, GDPR. The Regulation applies to all processing of personal data that occurs within the EU or linked to the Union. This causes a significant impact on all organizations that handle personal data, in all industries. Organizations not acting in accordanc

Adjudicating Intra-Party Rape and Sexual Slavery of Child Soldiers as War Crimes before the ICC: Bosco Ntaganda Case

In adjudicating sexual violence offenses perpetrated against child soldiers in Ntaganda case, the Appeals Chamber holds that having regard to the established framework of international law, members of an armed force or group are not categorically excluded from the protection against war crimes of rape and sexual slavery under article 8 (2) (b) (xxii) and (2) (e) (vi) of the Statute when committed

Mikrotransaktioners påverkan på kundnöjdhet

Purpose: The study aims to investigate how sales of virtual goods through microtransactions in the gaming industry affects customer satisfaction. Methodology: Quantitative research method with a deductive approach emerged from a positivist perspective. Cross-sectional study with a survey distributed on selected online forums. Theoretical perspectives: Szymanski and Henard’s (2001) five factors o

Motion Planning using Positively Invariant Sets on a Small-Scale Autonomous Vehicle

Self-driving technology has the opportunity to increase safety in automotive transportation by reducing the impact of human error. Motion planning is a key component of an autonomous system, responsible for providing reference trajectories and paths that the vehicle should follow. This thesis studies a motion-planning algorithm based on positively invariant sets. The focus is on design, implementa

Effects of climate change on potential geographical distribution of Prunus africana (African cherry) in the Eastern Arc Mountain Forests of Tanzania

The aim of this study was to model the impacts of climate change on potential geographical distribution of Prunus africana in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania. Maximum Entropy modelling was used to construct species distribution maps for P. africana to determine relative contribution, and effects of climate change on the potential geographical distribution of P. africana based on climatic sce

Tankar kring färg och arkitektur

I detta projekt har jag fokuserat på färg och färgens roll för arkitekturen. Jag har försökt undersöka ämnet brett och skapa mig en bild av vad färg har för betydelse för arkitektur och hur färgen påverkar ett arkitektoniskt uttryck. Kan jag, bara med hjälp av färgsättning, påverka den upplevda karaktären av en byggnad och dess omgivning? Projektet har blivit en undersökning av vår upplevelse av fThis project focuses on studies of colour and the role of colour in architecture. I’ve tried to look at the subject from different perspectives to form myself a picture of what colour means for architecture. I asked myself how colours affect the architectural expression. Can I, by only working with colours, influence the character of a building and its specific environment? This project has become

Preliminary studies toward Trigger-Level Analysis with Photons in ATLAS

The Trigger-Level Analysis is a strategy for data analysis that enables recording larger amounts of events at the ATLAS experiment than the typical method of reconstructing events offline. This is done by only recording partial information about the event, and using that for analysis. As more events are analysed with this method it can be used to put lower energy constraints on the events that are
