Bolivia är ett av de fattigaste länderna i Sydamerika och landet lider av ojämn social och ekonomisk utveckling. Bolivia har stora sötvattenresurser per capita (28 300 m3), jämfört med 17 600 m3 per capita i Sverige. Men tillgången är emellertid inte jämnt distribuerad över landet. Istället återspeglar tillgången på sötvatten landets karakteristiska geografi där östra Bolivia får mest nederbörd, uThe objective of this study was to assess the rainwater infiltration process in the unsaturated zone in an alluvial plain. Particularly, this study is focused on the Chocaya basin in central Bolivia. The hydraulic conductivity (Kfs) was obtained from seven in situ measurements of infiltration rate (I) performed by Double Ring Infiltrometer (DRI) test. These seven values were compared to the hydra

Trots att textilindustrin är den näst mest klimatpåverkande industrin i världen efter oljeindustrin, med enorma miljö- och hälsoproblem som följd fortsätter textilkonsumtionen öka. Inte minst drivet av efterfrågan av så kallad ”fast fashion”, moderiktiga plagg till lågt pris med låg hållbarhet och snabb omsättning. Med begrepp som ”hållbart mode” har industrin istället haft ambition att producera Although that the textile-industry is considered the world’s second most climate affecting industry, consumption seems to never cease. The Swedish start-up project Streamateria provides new opportunities through a distributed production-line that offers bio-degradable garments through 3D-printing technology, with the ambition to meet consumer demand for "fast fashion" The aim of the stu

The aim of this thesis is to widen the understanding of the gender pay gap by introducing the factor of sexuality.

Skillnaderna mellan småföretag och större företags ekonomiska och organisatoriska förutsättningarna är både stora och förhållandevis tydliga. Dessa skillnader medför att småföretag är mer känsliga för brister i rättssäkerheten än större företag. Efter en undersökning av vilka hjälpmedel som finns till hands för småföretag att förstå skattelagstiftningen, så att de kan ta korrekta beslut, kan det kThe differences between small and large companies, both economically and organizationally, are large and relatively clear. These differences make smaller companies more susceptible to flaws in the rule of law. After investigation into what aid small companies can get to better understand and comply with the relevant tax laws, it can be concluded that more aid is needed. This is because as it now s
