Natural events that happen more rarely have historically been more difficult to study and continue to require different methods. For example, rare occurrences of natural disasters and weather events can have return periods of thousands of years but because of their large impact are very important to study. In addition to being used to study the changing climate, climate models have the advantage o
Human trafficking consists of a sequence of smaller events taking place over a large span of time and perhaps even over multiple borders. Perpetrators of the crime take people away from their homes and their origins, either through coercion or threat of force, and instead place them in frightful environments where their survival and human dignity is constantly at risk. Legal measures to fight huma
På grund av den snabba förändringen i det audiovisuella medielandskapet får konsumenterna och särskilt minderåriga alltmer tillgång till medieinnehåll via andra digitala plattformar än traditionella TV och video on demand tjänster. Av den anledningen är det idag mer lönsamt för företag att annonsera genom produktplacering och sponsring på plattformar för videodelning som inte regleras inom ramen fDue to the rapidly changing pace of the audiovisual media landscape, consumers and especially minors are increasingly accessing media content via other digital platforms than traditional television and on-demand services. For that reason, is it today more profitable for companies to advertise through product placement and sponsorship on video-sharing platforms which are not regulated within the sc
The fashion industry is currently operating at high levels of material throughput leading to global annual emissions reaching a staggering 4 metric gigatons of CO2e. Almost reaching the levels of the entire EU-28 in 2015 of 4.45 metric gigatons. As consumption levels could increase by as much as 63% by 2030 there is urgency to address the situation. The application of Circular Economy (CE) princip
With the ongoing climate collapse, there is a need for a capital switch, rerouting investments into low carbon infrastructure. Green bonds are a new financial vehicle aimed to facilitate this transition. Through signaling the issuers’ intent to use the proceeds of the bonds towards environmentally beneficial activities, they increase transparency and allow investors to better calculate risks while

Based on previous research regarding employment among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the clinical description of ASD, this study focused on ten work environment factors: emotional demands, variation of work, predictability, role clarity, leadership, social support from colleagues and supervisor, social community, inclusivity, and using strengths. These work environment factors
Riskfaktorer för Parkinsons sjukdom Parkinsons sjukdom är en kronisk, progressiv neurologisk sjukdom som drabbar över 1 % av personer över 65 år. Vid sjukdomen dör nervceller i hjärnan som producerar signalsubstansen dopamin. Dopamin behövs för att skicka signaler mellan hjärncellerna. På grund av bristen på dopamin får hjärnan svårare att kontrollera och styra nervsignaler som bland annat styr kBackground: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, affecting over 1% of individuals over the age of 60 years. Approximately 90% of the PD cases are idiopathic, where the etiology is multifactorial and caused by gene-environment interactions. Exposure to various environmental factors have seen to be strongly associated with an increased or decreased PD risk. We aimed t
Det har länge pågått diskussioner om hur Visingsögruppen blev avsatt. Målet med den här studien är att få mer insikt i sedimentens litologiska sammansättning, provenans och genom att sätta upp ett sekvensstratigrafiskt ramverk kunna definiera depositionsprocesser. Studien fokuserade på sediment som tillhör den Mellersta formationen i Visingsögruppen, belägna vid Näs, Visingsö, Sverige. Metoderna sThe depositional setting of the Neoproterozoic Visingsö Group has long been a subject of discussion. This study aims to provide additional insights into the lithological composition and provenance of the sediments and to provide a sequence stratigraphic framework in order to define the depositional setting. It focuses on rocks belonging to the Middle Formation of the Visingsö Group located at the
Tourism is an important income for regions, where souvenirs play an important part. As we are heading into a more creatively oriented tourism, visitors are encouraged to participate rather than merely observe. The current supply of static objects symbolized by the host region, do not necessarily fulfill the underlying purpose of a souvenir; helping you remember a special moment in your life. Memo
The concept of a smart-sustainable city (SSC) has recently come to dominate urban sustainability political agendas and academic discourses in Europe. This thesis investigates (1) the origination of the SSC concept, (2) how it is being framed as an approach to sustainable urban development, and (3) how it can be contextualized in concrete projects and urban planning initiatives in the city of Malmö
Idag lever ca hälften av världens befolkning i städerna. Detta beräknas öka till ca 60%, närmare 6 miljarder människor till 2030 och en stor fråga som kommer med detta är vart skall alla bo? Jo, det byggs såklart nya bostäder hela tiden för den ökade befolkningen men nästa fråga blir då, vart ska man bygga alla dessa bostäder? Ska de byggas i utkanten av städerna vilket gör att de spiller över på Around half of the world population live within urban areas and is expected increase to encompass 60% by 2030. As the human population increases, cities are forced to densify or expand onto surrounding land, leaving less space for communal green space that supply the urban residents with vital ecosystem services. A resource of green space that thus far hasn’t been explored is private domestic gard
Do European nightjars migrate via Öland in autumn? Bird migration is a common phenomenon of the natural world with at least 4,000 species of birds being regular migrants. Many of those species have to cover long distances from breeding grounds in the northern hemisphere to wintering grounds in the tropics. They often face ecological barriers e.g. deserts or oceans with no food supply. Therefore i
