Thailand is facing with various extreme climate events from flood to drought. As a result of climate change, these events tend to increase in frequency and intensity. The existing water infrastructures and management is showing sign of fragility and incapable of dealing with these challenges. To increase adaptive capacity and tackle current water resource challenges, water management agencies in T

Our food is produced further and further away from us. Consequently, we have lost our connection and respect for it, resulting in unnecessary food waste. Investigating alternative methods of growing vegetables created the ambition to encourage the end consumer to self-sufficient crop production at home. Initial trend research led to the rising interest in urban farming. The world becomes

This thesis examines the discourses produced by the International Organization for Migration in relation to the phenomenon of ‘climate migration’ in order to identify the main problematization and subsequent implications. Using Carol Bacchi’s approach entitled “What’s the problem represented to be?” and conducting a qualitative policy analysis of 13 documents written by the IOM between 2007-2022,

Italy is using drones to monitor migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea. This is partially done through a contract with Leonardo S.p.A – one of the largest arms traders in the world – under which the company undertakes to operate drones in the area on behalf of the state. Meanwhile, Italy has withdrawn its naval assets and is hindering non-governmental organisations from carrying out search-and-r

As the interest in greenwashing as a strategy for marketing increases, monitoring institutions in Sweden have not failed to acknowledge the tendency of unwarranted and exaggerated statements that has left the impression of products or services without any legitimate support. Even as institutions have voiced their active engagement in tackling this problem, critique has been raised arguing that gre

The goal of this thesis was to, from several randomly selected patients with diagnosed malignant and benign tumors, record optimal lambdas and respective Renyi entropies for each lambda, run a basic statistical analysis of the results and see if there is any significant difference between lambdas/Renyi entropies of malignant and benign lesions.\\ The results showed no significant difference.\\ The

As new security threats arise within the borders Europe, with new methods of modern warfare that challenge previous notions of what constitutes regular warfare, one must adapt. The contemporary landscape of information technology has made it easier for antagonistic actors, such as Russia to employ information as a subversive tool to achieve political goals. Sweden has recently established an agenc

The energy crisis in Europe has recently highlighted vulnerabilities that experts have recognised for a long time. The EU relies heavily on fossil fuel imports from Russia to supply its citizens with affordable energy. Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, desperation to unbundle itself from Russian energy has rapidly stirred massive complexity and increased energy prices. Steps taken now

Digital nomadism has been around for more than two decades. Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a shift from traditional office work to remote work, which made the digital nomad lifestyle more accessible for a larger group of individuals. Digital nomads represent a great opportunity for destinations as they help boost the local economy. Therefore, it is important for destinations t

This paper investigates what the barriers and enablers are for persons with disabilities and organisations of persons with disabilities to engage in climate action. The countries analysed are Bangladesh and Madagascar as two countries in the Global South who are similarly impacted by climate change. Persons with disabilities are one of the most marginalised groups in any society and one of the mos

This thesis investigates how urban experimentation is governed in the new development district in Sege park in Malmö. Together with with private developers and a local NGO the municipality test and experiment with solutions for how the sharing economy can contribute to reduce the future resident’s climate impact and living costs. By using the theoretical lens of governmentality this thesis focusse

Syftet med studien är att skapa en djupare och nyanserad förståelse över hur lyxiga varumärken med hållbarhetsprofil arbetar för att främja “slow fashion” och hållbar konsumtion i butik och “online”. Det teoretiska ramverket utgår från teorier om “slow fashion”, kommunikation, atmosfär och certifieringar/skyltar. “Slow fashion” har valts ut då det blivit allt mer trendigt att producera en tidlös s

Cellen är den fundamentala byggstenen för allt liv vi idag känner till. Inuti celler kompartmentaliseras viktiga funktioner till organeller, vilket är cellernas motsvarighet till organ. Klassiska organeller kan kontrollera sin biokemiska miljö med hjälp av ett membran som avgränsar organellens inre från cytoplasman. Under de senaste åren har forskare dock funnit att membran inte är universell för Biomolecular condensates are aggregates formed from liquid-liquid phase separation through the interactions between nucleic acids and multivalent proteins. These condensates are essential for many biochemical processes inside the cell. Therefore, there has been a large effort during the last decade to create models and methods to describe these systems. Mixtures of RNA and proteins are very common

Om en part har tillräckligt starka misstankar om att motparten inte kommer att fullfölja sina avtalsförpliktelser och begå ett avtalsbrott vill den drabbade parten naturligtvis skydda sig från att drabbas av brottet. Den drabbade parten kan skydda sig mot ett s.k. befarat avtalsbrott genom att utöva stoppningsrätten eller hävningsrätten. Stoppningsrätten regleras i 61 § KöpL och innebär att den drIf a party suspects the other party will not fulfill a substantial part of his obligations according to the contract this would mean that they are breaching the terms of their contract. This means that the affected party can protect itself against a breach of contract, “anticipatory breach”, under contractual law by exercising the rights of suspension or cancellation (stoppningsrätten or hävningsr

Supramolekulär kemi är ett fält inom kemi där samlingar av molekyler som hålls ihop av olika ickebindande interaktioner mellan molekylerna studeras. Dessa bindingar kan ses som två legobitar som sätts ihop, där legobitarna är molekylerna och det ickebindinade interaktionerna är passformen som håller dem på plats. Legobitarna kan tas isär med mindre kraft än vad det krävs för att dela en bit lego. Hydrogen bonding based self-assembly is prevalent throughout nature dictating the folding of proteins and DNA. Hydrogen bonding has been utilized for self-assembly of small monomers into aggregates of varying size and shape. Potential applications of these aggregates could be creation of ion channels, formation of inclusion complex for delivery of drugs or capture of hazardous material in water su

One of the most harmful social issues throughout the world is crime, making it an important subject to research. This essay investigates the relationship between violent crime and oil prices in Europe and Central Asia. The relationship is less researched than crime and other socioeconomic variables such as unemployment and economic growth. The casual relationship is tested using the PVAR model and

Bakgrund Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) innebär att en person ofta har svårt med sociala interaktioner, uppvisar stereotypa beteende och begränsade intressen. Mellan 5–46% av personer med ASD har även epilepsi (EP). Målgruppen är vanligen mer stillasittande och detta medför hälsorisker som kan minskas genom fysisk aktivitet. Syfte Syftet var att kartlägga den fysiska träningen och fysiska aktivite

The observed and well-known discrepancy between concentrations of ice nucleating particles in the environment and the concentrations of ice particles in clouds show that there are additional ‘secondary’ processes enhancing the concentrations of ice particles. In present-day modelling of weather and climate, such processes are mostly overlooked and thus a cause for uncertainty. Recent modelling s

Kan ekosystemtjänster stärka hållbarhetsperspektivet i den kommunala översiktsplaneringen? Många av samhällets funktioner är direkt beroende av ekosystem i balans. Samtidigt utarmas idag den biologiska mångfalden och ekosystemens funktioner hotas, vilket riskerar att få stora negativa konsekvenser för både människa och samhälle. Vi behöver därför hitta nya sätt att ta hänsyn ekosystemens ekologisThe degradation of ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity occurs at an alarming rate. This results in an imbalance of ecosystem functions, leading to a loss of ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are benefits which humans can derive from ecosystems and their internal processes, thus vital to preserve from a societal perspective. The purpose of this study was to explore the possibilities for
