Climate change is shifting from being seen as a future prediction once, the realisation that it is already a reality is growing. Action to combat its impacts has to be taken now. Next to mitigation measures increasing emphasis is put on climate change adaptation action. While mitigation aims to tackle global climate change, adaptation focuses on reducing the local impacts. Climate change adaptatio

Under 2013 skapades kampanjerna Marabou Black, Miss Skinny och DILL, som alla kom att benämnas PR-bluffar. Kampanjernas målsättning var att väcka uppmärksamhet genom vilseledande information. Huruvida dessa PR-bluffar kan anses vara etiskt godtagbara är något praktiker, PR-praktiker och reklammakare, varit oense om. Syftet med denna studie var att skapa ökad förståelse för fenomenet PR-bluff och uIn the year of 2013 three campaigns were created: Marabou Black, Miss Skinny and DILL. These campaigns were titled as PR-scams because they aimed to get attention by using misleading information. Whether PR-scams could be considered as an ethically acceptable PR-strategy or not is something practitioners, PR-practitioners and advertisers, disagree on. The aim of this study was to create a greater

Denna studie ämnar undersöka samspelet mellan den mediala gestaltningen av en stad samt de strategier som används i försök att påverka densamma. Studien avser därmed öka kunskapen om skapandet och förmedlandet av platsvarumärken samt den strategiska kommunikationens betydelse för denna process.

The history of international human rights law shows that the articulation of human rights has often been scripted around the experiences of some rather than all. For example: men. As the creation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) has tried to address specifically the oppression of women, has this fragmentation of some rather than all repeated

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to further look at which firm-adjustable factors affect the liquidity of a firm's stock in the Swedish stock market. We also want to determine which out of these suggested factors have a significant effect on liquidity across different proxies of liquidity. Finally we aim to determine whether our findings are consistent with previous research findings. Met

The conventional agricultural production system is not sustainable. Organic agriculture is assumed to be sustainable from the environmental perspective, and its production and labelling has been regulated in the European Union (EU). The EU organic regime has been challenged by proponents of agroecology, a philosophy that merges agriculture and ecology and considers environmental and social aspects

I takt med att klimatet förändras ser vi allt oftare naturkatastrofer äga rum, och Sverige är inte undantaget från denna utveckling. Samtidigt blir Facebook och andra sociala medier ett allt vanligare verktyg för kriskommunikation i offentliga organisationer. Traditionellt har forskning inom kriskommunikation ett managementperspektiv och därför undersöker denna kandidatuppsats istället kriskommuniAs the climate on our planet is changing, natural disasters are occurring increasingly often, and Sweden is not an exception. At the same time, Facebook and other social media are more frequently used as crisis communication tools among public organizations. Traditionally, research within the field of Crisis Communication is pursued from a management perspective, and therefore this thesis uses a r

Despite an overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is a threat to our society, many young Canadians do not view it as a major issue. This suggests flaws in the way that youth are educated on climate change. I therefore investigated climate change education in Canada to recommend improvements. I analyzed Canadian secondary science curricula according to two frameworks to determine ho

The aim of the thesis is to create a general overview on how the Romani minority is represented in the archives an

ISIS är inte en stat. Juridiska överväganden pekar på att ISIS är en icke-statlig aktör och en terrorist organisation. Utav ‘the declaratory theory of recognition’, faktisk kontroll, styre genom samtycke, stabilisering av nationella förhållanden och ‘the constitutive theory of recognition’ uppfyller ISIS ganska övertygande de två förstnämnda kriterierna. I FN-stadgans artikel 2.4 finner vi våldsföISIS is not a state. Legal considerations point at that ISIS is a non-state actor and a terrorist organisation. Out of the declaratory theory of recognition, effective control, rule through consent, stabilisation of national conditions and the constitutive theory of recognition ISIS quite convincingly fulfils the first two criteria. In UNC article 2.4 we find a prohibition on the use of force. The

As urbanisation continues throughout the world, issues of sustainability have been raised. Discussing ecological sustainability is becoming increasingly common, where green space in urban planning, has been given a particular function. At the same time, this sustainability goes beyond the environment and nature, since it also relates to social interaction and trust between people. The city of Malm

Hur ska vi ta hand om diskvattnet från kolonin? I Malmö finns en lång tradition av koloniträdgårdar som sträcker sig mer än 100 år tillbaka. Användningen av kolonierna har ändrat sig från att vara till för att odla grönskaer och för stadens arbetare att få möjlighet till återhämtning i lugn och hälsosam miljö, till att idag i stort sätt användas som fullt utrustade sommarstugor som familjen bor iPhosphorus and nitrogen causes eutrophication in the lakes and seas. One source for phosphorous and nitrogen is wastewater from households. To reduce the impact to the seas it is important to purify the wastewater sufficient.In my literature study I have investigated if the greywater (wastewater from bath/shower, dish och wash) has any environmental and health influence on the surroundings. I have

Bakgrund: Efter implementeringen av WHO´s kirurgiska checklista minskade antalet komplikationer med 10,6 %. Trots detta finns det fortfarande arbete att utföra då det existerar viss resistens mot användandet. Användandet har medfört strukturerad kommunikation. Tidigare forskning visar att cirka 30 % av den kommunikation som sker på operationssalen är bristande. Syfte: Att undersöka anestesisjukskö
