Stakeholders’ participation has been recognized as a pillar for a transition toward a more sustainable society. However, there is little empirical evidence concerning the viability of participation mechanisms at large scale. This research analyzes a popular referendum process in Switzerland against a law that would have been a step toward a low-carbon society in the Canton of Fribourg. Aiming to i

Berggrunden i sydvästra Sverige består av medel-, till högmetamorfa bergarter med flera metamorfa segment och skuvzoner. Det är främst den senaste orogenesen som präglat berggrunden, den så kallade Svekonorvegiska orogenesen, som skedde för 1,14-0,92 Ga sedan. Obbhult-komplexet i Halland ligger i det Östra segmentet och består främst av metabasiter med ljusare och mörkare band av finkorniga bergarThe Sveconorwegian orogeny (1.14-0.92 Ga) is one of the main tectonometamorphic events that has effected the crystalline bedrock in southern Sweden. It consists of highgrade metamorphic rocks. The Obbhult-complex east of Varberg consists mainly of metabasites and is, with its coarse-grained sapphirine, geologically unique for Sweden. The survey material for the present study is a gneissic, granuli

Kandidatuppsatsen Hållbarhet inom livsmedelsbranschen är en uppsats på C-nivå vid Lunds universitet. Arbetet svarar dels på hur producerande livsmedelsföretag med säte i Skåne ser på sitt arbete med hållbarhet. Dels kartläggs de skillnader, och likheter, som livsmedelsföretagen har av sitt praktiska hållbarhetsarbete gentemot den teori som forskningsfronten arbetat fram. Avslutningsvis summeras skDue to the historical developments within human society that concern various forms of production, especially food production, sustainability has become an important issue. This Bachelors Essay strives to illuminate the differences between what academic knowledge claims should be done about sustainability, and how small to medium food producers perceive their daily efforts in relation to the three

A cloud condensation nuclei counter (CCNC) is used to study the ability of aerosol particles to serve as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) depending on their size, chemical composition and the ambient water super saturation. In this study, the new operation mode Scanning Flow CCN Analysis (SFCA) was evaluated for the Continuous-Flow Streamwise Thermal-Graident Cloud Condensation Nuclei Counter from

The purpose of this thesis is to illustrate theological and architectural currents, which have directly come to influence the pulpit in churches built since the 1950s. I have limited my presentation to include Swedish churches only. More specifically, I describe four prominent architects, and their design and placement of the pulpit. These are Rolf Bergh, Sigurd Lewerentz, Ove Hidemark and Jerk Al

Previous research has shown that irradiation in-utero or during early childhood may cause longlasting damage. Studies on the Chernobyl accident have found that all birth groups which received high doses of radiation in early life may have severe persisting disadvantage in health. However, we do not know which of the groups irradiated in early life was the most vulnerable. We also do not know wheth

Bakgrund: Preoperativ handdesinfektion är en viktig hörnsten för att upprätthålla den sterila miljön på operationssalen och förebygga uppkomsten av postoperativa infektioner. Det finns begränsad data angående operationspersonalens följsamhet till gällande riktlinjer för handhygien. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka operationspersonalens faktiska följsamhet till vårdhandbokens riktlinjer

Mäns våld mot kvinnor är idag ett stort globalt samhällsproblem som inte uppmärksammandes på allvar förrän 1990-talet. En förklaring till att det råder kvinnomisshandel, beror på den obalans som råder i maktförhållandet mellan kvinnor och män. Våld som sker i parrelationer kan förekomma bland alla sociala grupper och är oberoende av miljön. Studien ämnar studera den internaliseringsprocess som kvi

According to Article 2 UN Convention on Biological Diversity, biotechnology is "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use". Biotechnology is widespread in agriculture, food production and medicine. Agricultural biotechnology has been extensively applied in field crop produc

Increased production and consumption of local food may partly counteract the negative environmental, social, and economic impacts of industrialised and globalised food production. The aim of this thesis was to identify the barriers the country of Iceland faces in increasing production and consumption of local food. The research was guided by the framework of Integral theory, identifying behaviour

In the radio documentary Narkotikalandet Sverige made during late 2012 by the Swedish radio channel P1 the narcotic-related part of society is explored in three separate parts. The first part explores the heroin market in the Swedish capitol of Stockholm. Focused around Sergels Torg the reporter explores a part of the Swedish society that many either doesn’t know exist or they choose to ignore it.

Att glömma något vi vill minnas är irriterande, men glömska för oviktig information kan hjälpa oss att minnas det som är relevant. Studier om glömska på grund av att gammal och irrelevant information stör den information som ska återkallas (proaktiv interferens, PI) har visat att man kan reducera interferens genom att introducera ny information som skiljer sig från den gamla, och på så sätt förbätForgetting what we want to remember is irritating, but forgetting unimportant information can help us remember what is relevant. Studies of forgetting due to older, irrelevant information interfering with what needs to be recalled (proactive interference, PI) have shown that interference can be reduced by introducing new information that is different to the previous, helping memory for this materi

The research questions are three-folded, firstly concerning how Head-teachers understand Children’s rights in the context of the school, secondly dealing with respondent’s

The aim of this thesis is to investigate two periods in the history of Ghana that have been characterised by strong growth, namely 1891-1919 and 1983-2013. The study is important as it will provide a better understanding of the current situation in Ghana and as it contributes to the attempt to disprove the myth of Africa as a stagnant continent. As this myth is so widespread, it is highly importan
