Självbestämmande, urfolkskvinnor och tillgång till rättvisa- en fallstudie i Amazonas regnskog

De 14 olika urfolken i Ecuador har landrättigheter och rätt till kollektivt självbestämmande. Inom ramen för detta har urfolk också rätt till att utöva urfolksrättiva. Detta innebär att urfolk har rätt att skapa, utveckla och utöva sitt eget rättssystem för att lösa tvister och problem inom det egna sahället, tolkat och applicerat genom egna kulturella värderingar och normer. Denna rättighet finns

Encapsulating catalysts in MOFs

Föreställ dig att du kunde producera vatten från luft, eller ha arean av en fotbollsplan i ett gram pulver. Det är två utav många fenomen som syntetiska metall-organiska ramverk (MOF) kan åstadkomma eftersom de ofta besitter kristallporer i storlek av nanometrar. Denna studie fokuserar på att kapsla in katalysatorer i MOF:ars porer. Sådana ramverk kan kallas catalyst@MOF och syftet är att lätt kunMetal-organic frameworks (MOF) are hybrid organic-inorganic porous materials with a crystalline framework. The MOF frameworks contain specific nano-sized pores that can be used for gas storage, gas separation, drug storage, luminescence sensoring, artificial photosynthesis, drug delivery, catalysis etc. The aim of this study was to encapsulate three diiron hexacarbonyl and one Ni(II) catalysts in

To waste, or to resource? A comparative Life Cycle Assessment of recovering bottom ash from waste incineration for use in road construction in Malmö.

The low-carbon benefits and emissions savings from circular economy (CE) strategies are not yet well understood, yet are crucial for global development within Planetary Boundaries. Using the mineral fraction of waste incinerator bottom ash (MIBA) as construction material in road construction is one application of a CE strategy that could lead to environmental gains by substituting energy-intensive

Green is the new brown : ecology in the metapolitics of the French far right today

In this thesis I examine the metapolitics of the French far right, a sphere of organisations and personalities that are waging a counter-hegemonic cultural fight, thought to be a precondition to political change. In France, singularly an incubator for a green nationalist narrative, this “Gramscianism of the right” is today embodied by countless media outlets. This research, grounded in a socio-con

How Can Unit Pricing Be Employed and Improve Municipal Waste Management in Shanghai?

China is on a transition to waste management charging reform and pursuing effective eco-nomic incentives on an individual level. Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT)/Unit pricing is recog-nized as an important and effective means to waste prevention and source segregation ren-dered by the government mostly in the developed countries. Following the in-depth case study analysis and the environmental, the study e

The (Un)Political Lay Judge System in Sweden - An Interview Study of Lay Judges’ Views on Their Roles and The Lay Judge System, from a Perspective of Politicization

Lay judges are used in the Swedish courts to attain a democratic representation of judges, but the system has received criticism for giving weight to political affiliation in a role that ought to be unpolitical. The aim of this study is to investigate politicization of the laymen system through lay judges’ own perspectives of their roles, and their views of the structure of the lay judge system. H

The importance of descriptive representation within politics, for example an adequate female descriptive representation, is a debated issue. The argument is supported by Phillips’ theory about Politics of presence, assuming that an increased number of women in parliament would lead to an increased female substantive representation. The purpose of this study is to investigate if there is a clear re

Beskattning vid anställdas förvärv av aktiegåvor

Då gåvobeskattning har avskaffats får gränsdragningen mellan gåva och inkomst större betydelse. Enligt 8 kap. 2 § inkomstskattelagen (1999:1229) är en gåva skattefri, medan inkomst är skattepliktig enligt 11 kap. 1 §. Distinktionen mellan gåva och inkomst blir relevant när en anställd förvärvar aktier utan ersättning från arbetsgivare eller ägare till bolaget. Här måste fastställas om överlåtelsenSince the gift tax was removed, the distinction between gifts and income has gained greater importance. According to chapter 8 article 2 of the Income Tax Act (1999:1229), Inkomstskattelagen, a gift is not taxable. However, according to chapter 11 article 1 income from employment, pensions et cetera are taxable. When an employee receives shares from his or her employer or from the owner of the com

Kapitalkravets toppar och dalar - Från borgenärsskydd till seriositetsspärr

Den svenska aktiebolagslagen (2005:551) har sedan år 1895 ställt upp ett krav på ett lägsta tillåtet aktiekapital i aktiebolag. Kravets nivå har både höjts och sänkts från kravets införande till idag. Den senaste ändringen trädde ikraft den 1 januari 2020 då aktiekapitalets lägsta tillåtna nivå i privata aktiebolag sänktes från 50 000 kronor till 25 000 kronor. Förslaget om en sänkning fick stor mSince 1895, the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551) has a required minimum share capital in private limited companies. The requirement level since that time has been subject to change. The most recent change was a reduction of the required level of the minimum share capital requirement from 50,000 SEK to 25,000 SEK, which took effect on January 1, 2020. The proposal regarding the reduction received a

"Vi bantar inte!... Vi bygger fysik!" : en diskursanalys av Den Stora Hälsoresan

Den här studien undersöker programmet Den stora hälsoresan som har sänts på Kanal 5 och Dplay 2020. I programmet får sex välkända svenska offentliga personer ta del av ett tränings- och kostprogram vid namn 16 weeks of hell som är grundat av tränaren Tony Andersson.

Statistical Evaluation and Modelling of Landslide Initiation Points in Western Norway

Norge drabbas årligen av hundratals jordskred vilket leder till betydande ekonomisk skada och fara för liv. Därför bedriver norska myndigheter och forskningsinstitutioner omfattande forskning om jordskred och vidtar åtgärder för att övervaka, modellera och slutligen mildra konsekvenserna av och förebygga dessa. Som en del av sitt arbete underhåller norska vattenresurs- och energimyndigheten en natNorway experiences hundreds of landslides annually which leads to significant economic losses and poses a threat to human life. Therefore, Norwegian authorities and scientific institutions are conducting extensive research and take measures in the fields of documenting, modelling and ultimately mitigating and preventing landslides. As part of its work, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Dire

Floristic change in the province of Scania in southernmost Sweden 1800-2020: using fragmented data to study landscape-level shifts

Vascular plant observances were compiled for 10 well-documented parishes throughout southernmost Sweden from published floras, herbarium specimens, modern inventories, and a large citizen-science database to provide presence/absence of species from 1800-2020 at the decade level. A regionally-specific database of species-specific plant traits and ecological indicator values was used to examine flor
