The question of how the urgent transformation in fossil fuel based economies might be realised has come to occupy an increasingly prominent place within the social sciences. The challenge here is often cast in terms of how one or more existing system can be replaced by alternatives in which the carbon content has been removed or at least diluted by purposeful interventions. Here we approach the qu

(1) If policy-makers and businesses are to encourage consumers to participate in circular consumption systems, knowledge is needed about what motivates consumers to choose different disposal options. This paper aims to shed light on what motivates consumers to engage in circular home textile disposal practices. (2) Quantitative data was collected through a survey of members of the IKEA Family prog

Som en del i ett fransk-svensk sammarbete i syfte att rekonstruera holocena klimatförändringar i centrala och norra Europa, togs en sedimentsekvens upp från Storsjön, Jämtland och analyserades för geokemiska och paleomagnetiska egenskaper. Den provtagna delen av sekvensen, bestående av en fryskärna samt tre Niederreiter-kärnor, tydliggjorde förändringar orsakade av klimat samt antropogen påverkan

Climate change is an issue that can no longer be ignored and actions are taken all over the world in order to prevent the effects from becoming too severe. The energy system is transitioning towards more renewable energy sources and wind power has an important role in this development. The penetration of wind power in a lot of countries all over the world has increased rapidly during the last deca

The rational for studying health consequences of social determinants is to enable understanding of factors that affect population patterns of health, disease and well-being in order to produce knowledge useful for guiding policies and actions to reduce social inequalities in health and promote social well-being. The aims of this study have been to investigate the association between aspects of soc

This study begins in the understanding of sustainable development as a complex matter open for interpretation, and continues in the notion that different dimensions of sustainability create different values that have different goals; meaning that they will sometimes unite, and sometimes collide and lead to trade-offs. The aim for this study is to add to the understanding of this matter through an

The purpose of this study is to investigate what challenges sustainable entrepreneurs in the food industry face when capturing value and how they aim to overcome them. To that end, we develop a theoretical framework based on relevant literature on sustainable entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial studies and environmental science. Furthermore, we conducted nine case studies, drawing from semi-structur

This essay shows how Freudian psychoanalytic literary criticism can be used to analyze representations of what could be called literary characters’ unconscious, i.e. their thoughts and dreams, to attempt to determine and explain their view of women. The analysis serves as an example of what EFL teachers can focus on regarding Freudian criticism. This is applied to Winston, the protagonist of Georg

Scholars have argued that successful policymaking should take into account the systemic aspect of a Regional Innovation System and involve a variety of actors in policy processes. Leadership is an important element for enabling collaboration and coordination among these actors, for example in the emergence of policy networks. The aim of this study is to provide a dynamic view of leadership in poli

Till följd av de förväntade klimatförändringarna beräknas nederbördsmönstren i Sverige att förändras. Episoder av intensiv och kortvarig nederbörd förväntas öka på flertal ställen i landet, samt att utsträckningen av långvarig nederbörd, som kan pågå under flera dagar, även den, förväntas att öka. Det svenska vägnätet stöter redan idag på problem att möta de förändrade nederbördsmängderna, då vägs

Changes in water surface area (w.s.a.) in Arctic regions have been linked to climate warming and permafrost degradation (Briggs et al. 2014). As permafrost thaws, thermokarst lakes are formed. This causes the surface to get wetter. Although, a drying of the surface has often been observed in areas of discontinuous permafrost. As the climate warms, permafrost starts to thaw from underneath the lake

: Food is an integral part of our everyday lives, with a plethora of social and commercial activities built around it. Despite being so intensive in resources, a third of the production is destined to be wasted. To comply with the waste management guidelines, redistribution should be society’s priority, especially when considering how many individuals cannot afford food. Interestingly, despite its
