This study has examined Liberian disabled women’s participation in peace and security processes through the lens of the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325. The aim was to gain new insights into Liberian disabled women’s experience in peace and security processes, since the overarching research problem is the lack of insight into the disabled women’s experiences as participants

Parking is an essential part of the current transportation system and the infrastructure developed for the use of private cars. Parking policy has preserved unsustainable mobility patterns by providing excessive amounts of parking. This makes it an interest of urban planners to ensure that new parking policy facilitates for a sustainability transition in urban mobility. The aim of this thesis is

I denna uppsats har en netnografisk studie över bullet journal-metoden och instagramanvändare som brukar denna genomförts. Syftet var att undersöka vilka funktioner som anteckningsblocken fyller för användarna, hur bullet journal-relaterade instagramkonton används samt vad det är som driver människor att publicera bilder på sina bullet journals på Instagram och vad som händer i detta gränsland mel

Over the last four decades, the extended usage of cars for the daily mobility of people inwards and outwards the city of Limassol has taken over a huge part of the public space and formed a nature of urban ataxia (lack of order).Environmental pollution, social isolation, cultural stall and economical failure have become collateral consequences, at increasing rates and at high cost to all living be

In the newly founded state Kosovo, the women’s rights movement has become a strong voice on gender equality and contributes in important ways to strengthening women’s rights. At the same time, highly gendered political structures restrict the movement’s access to political influence. The purpose of this thesis is to explore how the political opportunities and challenges that the movement faces hav

In the last years, a lack of trust in multi-lateral agreements has been rising, in part because of the absence of a global legally binding environmental regime, since the end of the Kyoto Protocol. The urban climate governance arena has been emerging as a much more promising scenario for climate action. Municipalities have been setting an ambitious climate agenda, planning for climate mitigation a

Den digitala utgivningen ökar och streamingtjänsterna stod under 2018 för hela bokbranschens uppsving i Sverige. Samtidigt finns det ett ökat intresse för erotik och de digitala volymerna ökar, i synnerhet de som finns tillgängliga via Storytel och andra streamingtjänster. De digitala formaten, kanalerna och erotiken tycks trivas tillsammans som handen i handsken. Med detta som utgångspunkt är syf

In the Iron Age AD, ringforts were constructed on the Swedish island Öland. Most of them contained a settlement inside. The remains of 15 of these ringforts are still preserved in the landscape. This thesis gives a general overview of the known and the possible Ölandic ringforts and their historical and constructional context, before analysing and comparing the settlements inside the ringforts Eke

Fossil fuels subsidies are intervention policies by governments to keep energy prices lower than the market price which leads to an increase in energy consumptions and GHG emissions. Iran provides the largest amount of fossil fuels consumption subsidies in the world, but it implemented the Targeted Subsidies Act to reform its subsidies and increase energy carriers’ end-user prices. This thesis inv

This thesis is an attempt to understand if hostels, being an essential component of the infrastructural support for backpacker tourism have been instrumental in lifting up local communities in light of socio-economic development. The analysis strives to explore not only the contours of change in the community level but also the changes in the institutions and structures within which the tourism in

Att skapa ett hem innebär inte bara faktorn att bygga ett hus med fyra väggar och tak. Det innefattar att skapa en trygg punkt där människor ska kunna trivas. Det innebär att det finns en rad olika krav och behov som behöver motsvara kundens önskemål för att skapa värde. Inte minst eftersom det är en stor och dyr process som vanligtvis bara sker en eller ett fåtal gånger i livet. Denna studie inne

Spent grain (BSG) is the solid residue obtained during brewing containing leftover malt and adjuncts. Though nutrient-dense, it is found to negatively impact texture and colour when used its raw form as an ingredient in food. Bio-processing presents an interesting method to alter the structure of BSG, rendering it a possible novel food ingredient to increase the nutrient capacity of products along

Current consumption patterns are not sustainable and are compromising the Earth’s carrying capacity and the future of next generations. Increasing sustainable consumption behaviours and practices are needed in order to decrease nowadays negative consumption impacts on the environment and achieve sustainable development. However, sustainable consumption practices are generally not performed as they

Sedan myndigheterna fastställt planerna på en höghastighetskorridor som ska knyta samman Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö, har intresset f¨or höghastighetståg ökat hos såväl allmänhet som forskare. Hastighetsbegränsningen på banan är ännu inte satt, men den kommer vara inom intervallet 250-320 km/h. Eftersom det är svårare att garantera trafiksäkerhet och passagerarkomfort vid dessa högre hastigheterIn recent years, high-speed railway has been on the upswing in the public debate, as Swedish authorities have affirmed the plans of a high-speed corridor connecting Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malm¨o. The track speed limit is not fully determined, but will be in the range of 250-320 km/h. At these higher speed levels, it is harder to ensure traffic safety and passenger comfort, and dynamic analyses

A discourse analysis is performed on police statements in newspaper articles concerning the spatial location of the new police station in Rosengård, Malmö, Sweden. The study uses Waquant's concept of territorial stigmatization and notions of reassurance- and reactive policing which has been made spatially fixed to the area of Rosengård. Reassurance policing, a Swedish iteration of "commun

Despite its small size Colombia hosts 10% of the planet’s biodiversity, in the over 53% of its territory which is covered by different types of tropical and Andean forests. However, decades of war have had devastating effects on the country’s environment, which is threatened with deforestation for the clearing for agriculture areas, mostly for illegal crops; as well as on its population, which has

The concept of sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) is increasingly recognised as a valuable approach to flood risk mitigation and urban landscape planning. Many European cities are considering integrating SuDS features to their stormwater management practices. More frequent weather events and water quality issues have emerged among the main drivers to advance the discussion on innovative way

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made rapid progress in the last years and in fields, such as computer vision, they are considered state-of-the-art. However, CNNs are very computationally intensive. This makes them challenging to use in embedded devices such as smartphones, security cameras and cars. This thesis investigates different neural network compression techniques to see which wi
