Ökade koldioxidutsläpp från köpcentrum utanför city Handelsplatser utanför städers stadskärnor kan, på grund av billigare markytor och lägre hyror, erbjuda konkurrenskraftiga priser jämfört med handel i citylägen. Externa handelsplatser är konkurrenskraftiga i jämförelse med andra handelsplatser, på grund av det stora utbud av varor som erbjuds under ett och samma tak, sena öppettider och tillgåOut-town-shopping leads to an increase in greenhouse gases. The increase in greenhouse gases is generated by the added transportation of fossile fules run vehicles to the location of the shopping malls. The aim of this study is to analyse how employees’ travels to the out-of-town work place, the shopping mall Nova 1, in Lund. The analyse is made to find out whether it is possible to increase the s

The increasing amount of migrants has led to the phenomenon of the “left-behind”. Among the left-behind group, left-behind children seem to be at a relatively vulnerable situati

Knowledge about women’s participation in combat roles, yet alone in national armed forces in the Arab countries is very limited. Although more women are acquiring access to combat roles worldwide, most scholarly investigations have focused on servicewomen in the West.

Justice, in the broadest sense of equality and fairness, is a cornerstone aspect of our abilities, as human beings, to lead individual lives in the way we choose according to what we see as the right or the good way to live. A catalyst for any debate over a theory of justice, Immanuel Kant’s work provides a fundamental basis from which we should begin to understand why society, with justice as a k

This thesis investigates the volatility spillover and contagion effects to the frontier markets from the developed markets and emerging markets and tries to identify if there exists any potential volatility effect which may have impact on the investment decision of these markets. In view of the growing globalization, financial markets become increasingly interdependent and the chances for the vola

Violence against women (“VAW”) is a global matter; and human rights law-inspired approaches, also universal in nature (it is argued), can be the missing link in tackling a global problem. In underlining the universal applicability of human rights standards, principles and norms; it is suggested that drawing inspiration from human rights-based approaches would contribute to implementation of holist

During the fall of 2014 Kraftringen who is the company that owns the Örtofta Power plant made a decision to perform a group of tests on their plant to establish the performance of the turbine. The Örtofta power plant is a biomass-fuelled plant and is because of this classified as a zero-admission power plant. The goal of these test were to establish the performance of the turbine. The tests were

This Master Thesis analyzes how beneficial parental involvement is for third level education of an individual. Effects derived from parental behavior are measured based on new data on a larger scale compared to previous research, and by exploiting so far unused involvement variables. For the measurement a logit regression is applied to European Value Study data, for a selection of thirteen countri

China is generally regarded as a country that has successfully achieved rapid economic development and rapid urbanization over the last three decades. But, in the course of this process, spatial inequalities in the country and the rural-urban divide within the city increase. That has led to the consolidation of the country’s dual economic structure. In 2003, the Chinese government implemented the

Adapting to climate change impacts is crucial as changes due to climate change are already locked in and will occur independently of reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. Recent studies in climate change adaptation literature have cited that social learning is beneficial for increasing adaptive capacity. The capacity for social learning is governed by the degree of flexibility of the institution

Rapporten undersöker betydelsen för val av borrmetod när en formationsfilterbrunn ska dimens-ioneras. Dimensionering av filtrets slitsvidd görs med utgångspunkt från kornstorleksanalyser genom provtagning av borrkax. Ett formationsfilter byggs upp genom att tvätta bort en stor del av det finkorniga materialet i ett sedi-ment och låta de grövre partiklarna fungera som ett naturligt grusfilter runt This report examines the significance for the choice of drilling methods when dimensioning a formation well screen. Dimensioning the slot openings of the well screen is done by studying sediment samples by sieve anal-ysis. The sieve analysis shows the abundance of the particle size distribution in the aquifer, and the particles sam-pled should therefore give an adequate description of the real con

The extensive studies on D. sechellia have made it a familiar example of chemosen-sory evolution and speciation. This specialist drosphilid species is well-known for its ability to tolerate and actively seek out its toxic host Morinda citrifolia (noni). It was originally thought that this toxic fruit was the exclusive host of D. sechellia because most drosophilids cannot tolerate and are deterred

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur en organisation kan upprätthålla en viss föreställning genom strategisk kommunikation. Detta uppnås genom det empiriska exemplet mjölk, ett livsmedel som under lång tid framställts som objektivt, naturligt och vetenskapligt, vilket lett till en etablerad föreställning om att mjölk är nödvändig i vår dagliga kost. Syftet uppfylls genom en foucauldiansk kriThis thesis aims to investigate how an organization can maintain a certain conception through strategic communication. This is achieved by the empirical example of milk, a food that is looked upon as something objective, natural and scientific, which has led to an established conception that milk is essential in our daily diet. The purpose of the thesis is met by a foucauldian critical discourse a

This study explores the plausibility of the thesis that the thematisation of issues re-lated to data protection is affected by the degree to which an issue can be experi-enced personally. In drawing a line from issues management theory to agenda-setting and the theory of news value, this study demonstrates that knowledge about thematisation struc-tures is central to issues management and that pre
