Farming for food? : local ways to enhance global food supply - and beyond : an ethnographic case study from a biodynamic community-supported farm in El Bolsón, Argentina

A growing world population confronts humanity and the planet with several challenges due to its increased demand for food, space and energy, implying changes in land use. While agriculture currently provides enough food, it is destroying biodiversity and hence aggravates the planet ́s vulnerability to climate change. A paradigm shift might therefore be needed. Applying a political ecology lens, co

Obebyggda småhusfastigheter - Finns det ett dolt ortsprismaterial i rivning-nybyggnadsköp?

Ortsprismaterial för obebyggda småhusfastigheter är ofta begränsat och omfattar normalt endast nyexploaterade områden i städernas utkanter. Denna typ av exploatering sker ofta genom att fastigheter överlåts med avtal om att exploatören även ska uppföra en småhusbyggnad. Gränsen mellan vilka värdehöjande åtgärder som ska tilldelas den obebyggda småhusfastigheten kontra småhusbyggnaden blir därmed sLocation-price data of undeveloped single-family properties are often limited and usually covers only recently urbanized areas in the outskirts of cities. Location-price data of developed single-family properties is also difficult to use for undeveloped single-family properties because the value ratio between land, buildings and facilities is hard to determine. An inadequate location-price data of

Områdesbaserad risk- och sårbarhetsanalys för beslutsfattande inom operativ krishantering

Det är den bittra sanningen att under en kris går inte allt att rädda. Grundläggande värden konkurrerar mot varandra om vår uppmärksamhet i en kamp där det mest samhällsviktiga ska räddas först. Men hur ska en beslutsfattare kunna avgöra vem eller vad som ska prioriteras i ett tidspressat och kaotiskt tillstånd? Kan en digital karta vara den vägvisare som skapar den överblick som krävs för att på During the past decades, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been developed as a tool for managing spatial data. Under the right conditions, GIS can be a useful tool in the field of crisis management where private and public actors need to manage extensive flows of information. This master thesis aims to study how GIS is used in different parts of the risk and vulnerability analysis process.

Exit Taxation in the European Union, Is there really a problem?

Exit taxes represent an expression of state’s sovereignty by taxing value increases of assets, hidden reserves and any untaxed income that arose on its territory. These taxes are triggered before the state of emigration loses its power of taxation as a result of the transfer to the jurisdiction of another state when an individual or company changes residency. The purpose of exit taxes is to protec

Samma mål - olika vägar. En komparativ fallstudie på hur attraktivitet definieras och manifesteras i Lomma och Landskrona kommun.

Attractiveness has become a widely used concept in planning and public policy the last 15 years in Sweden. However, there is no broad definition of attractiveness and thus it is subject to interpretation. To understand how and why it can be interpreted differently this thesis will investigate how two different municipalities with comparable physical factors but otherwise different socio-economical

The transition from CCC to UCC with regard to royalties and license fees, and necessary consequences for the VAT-Directive

As the Union Customs Code will replace the Community Customs Code with effect from 1 May 2016, the thesis focuses on the new treatment of royalty payments for customs purposes and its legal consequences. In a first step, a comparison between the Community Customs Code and the Union Customs Code reveals that importers will have to face a significant increase in the customs liability of royalty pa

"Jag är levande i de avslutande mötena" Terapeuter berättar om sin upplevelser av terapiavslutningar - en kvalitativ studie

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore psychotherapists´ experiences of termination in psychotherapy. The study has applied a qualitative method combining phenomenological and hermeneutic perspectives. Eight psychodynamically oriented psychotherapists were asked, using one broad and open question, to tell about one or several memories from terminations of therapies. The dominating ex

Behov och efterfrågan i planeringsdokument - en explorativ studie av planeringen för bostadsförsörjning

The aim of this study is to investigate how documents regulating municipal work related to housing provision are shaped, and how they utilize concepts of “need” and “demand”. Interviews with municipal planners are conducted to deepen the understanding of the municipal role in Swedish housing provision today. This understanding is crucial in discussions between public and private actors, which are

Snabbcykelväg mellan Malmö och Lund - Vad anser planeraren respektive brukaren?

In this paper a planned Cycle Super Highway between two Swedish cities, Malmö and Lund, are studied with the focus onto what extent public participation should be implemented in the planning process.

GIS och medborgardialog - En studie av vilken påverkan digitaliseringen av planprocessen kan ha på medborgardeltagandet

The Swedish government has recently been proposing for a digitization of the spatial plans. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how this digitization would affect the public participation during the process of creating a spatial plan. This will be done by testing the theory of Ladder of participation, created by Sherry Arnstein in 1969, and a theory of participation stairs created by Swedi

The result of the reform was that the old municipalities and regions were enlarged and the power relation was changed. The new physical form made the municipalities far more influential, an

Calibration measurements in a catalysis reaction chamber using thermographic phosphors

Kanelbulle och katalysator: Temperaturerna som förändrar världen Temperatur är något som de flesta av oss talar om dagligen. Det må handla om vädrets föränderlighet eller värmepannans oförmåga att värma upp huset; oavsett vad så är temperatur en faktor som diskuteras. För en katalysator i en kemisk omvandling är korrekt temperatur avgörande, och kan spela stor roll för framtidens utvecklingar inoAccurate temperature measurements using thermocouples inside a catalysis reaction chamber is problematic due to the difficulties to attach the thermocouple to the catalysis sample. It is also of interest to accurately know the pressure inside the reaction chamber. In this work, thermographic phosphors have been utilized in order to determine the temperatures occurring inside a catalysis reaction c

Den urbana normen - En intersektionell diskursanalys av planeringens föreställningar om stad och landsbygd i Skåne, Lund och Östra Göinge

The aim of this essay is to analyse the discursive power structure between urban and rural, and how this is expressed in regional and municipal planning. I also aim to examine how different development potential is attributed to different geographical places to map how the discursive power structure has created the current planning paradigm. In addition to this I am going to discuss if it is possi
