Världen är för närvarande på väg mot 3°C av global uppvärmning pga globala koldioxidutsläpp. Kunskapen som krävs för att minska utsläppen existerar, men de radikala sociala och politiska förändringar som behövs sker hittills inte snabbt nog. Nuvarande politiska och ekonomiska paradigm hyllar koldioxidprissättning som antingen den enda lösningen, alternativt som en del av lösningen. Denna uppsats tThe world is currently heading for 3°C of global warming due to global excessive carbon emissions, and while science is producing the knowledge necessary to combat it, the radical change needed is not coming fast enough. Current political and economic paradigms hail carbon pricing as either the, or part of the solution to our carbon emissions problem. This thesis looks at the available (although l

Immunotherapy aims to enhance the immune system’s response to cancer. Different immunotherapies exist, such as cytokine therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors. The FDA has approved immunomodulatory drugs, such as Proleukin, a recombinant IL-2 cytokine, Nivolumab, and Avelumab, which are immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, these drugs lead to side effects in patients known as immune-related

Following the collapse of socialism in 1989, Eastern European countries experienced rapid socio-spatial reorganization causing a significant loss of urban greenspace (UGS). Greenspaces provide socio-environmental benefits, making them a crucial component of urban sustainability. This study explores the development of greenspace in Plovdiv (Bulgaria), which serves as a case study to understand disc

Incorporating a multi-year grass ley into an arable crop rotation can increase soil organic carbon stocks, reduce carbon emissions and provide feedstock for biogas. This thesis set out to study how a policy promoting agricultural biomass for biogas impacts GHG emissions and carbon sequestration on a regional level over a temporal scale of 20 years. This was done in the specific case of policy prom

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Södra Cell Mörrum, SCM, could invest in a steam turbine to produce profitable electricity from excess steam, which is currently being released into the atmosphere. Furthermore, this study investigated the potential side effects from this installation and suggests solutions. This study was conducted in two phases: collecting data which was then s

This is a qualitative study with the objective to find an understanding for how social workers who work with people affected by honor-related violence, receive and investigate the phenomenon and to illuminate their knowledge on the subject. We collected women´s stories from a source that contains authentic anonymous narratives and prepared one “story” as a vignette. It was presented accompanied wi

Nature-based Solutions (NBS) are one of the approaches to the regeneration of urban areas. These solutions are copied from, inspired by, or supported by nature. The solutions, ideally, result in multiple benefits to the society and environment. The examples of NBS measures for stormwater management are, including but not limited to, natural swale, retention ponds, and green roofs. Such measures ha

This research intends to explore the mental health of female Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. Specifically, it analyzes reasons for mental disorders and how Rohingya women cope, from the perspectives of humanitarian aid workers. Mental disorders are defined from a universalist perspective and the analysis is guided by theoretical frameworks of Tay et. al (2018) and Kleinman (1978). The research de

In 1994 Rwanda experienced a genocide that took an estimated 800.000 lives in the course of 100 days. This essay takes the form of a case study that examines Rwanda’s transitional justice process that followed and its abilities to create a gender-just peace. The study is based on a theoretical framework that links a feminist reading of transitional justice and gender-just peace together with gende

The topic of human migration and displacement has become more important in recent years and will continue to do so in the following decades. Voices become louder claiming that climate change is a driving factor for increased displacement and migration. Increasing unsuitable living conditions due to unpredictable weather patterns and increased number of extreme events are putting pressure on the so

Following the Bosman verdict from the ECJ in 1995, FIFA, the governing body of football, had to change its rules for the status and transfer of players to bring them in line with EC law. With the threat of an outright prohibition decision against the international transfer system under the EC Competition rules, FIFA reached an agreement with the Commission, in March 2001, on the principles for the

This thesis addresses the new policy reform for the establishment of newly arrived refugees in Sweden from a welfare policy perspective. The establishment reform aims to further integration of newly arrived refugees into Swedish society by transferring responsibility from local municipalities to the Public Employment Service and by introducing a private actor in the process. In the thesis I analys

Det här examensarbetet grundar sig på en översättning av en lättläst barnbok, som i sin tur är baserad på en myt från Snorres Edda. Uppsatsen inleds med en källtextanalys, som i viss mån utgår från Lennart Hellspong och Per Ledins (1997) modell, och som grundas på Göte Klingbergs (1977) teorier om bearbetning och översättning av böcker för barn. Därefter följer en kortare diskussion om övervägande

This thesis looked into the protection and occupational development process under the Thai government shelter and the extent to which it has assisted and supported the victims of human trafficking, both Thai and non-Thai, in psychosocial rehabilitation, therapy, and vocational training and development. I used the capability theory and empowerment approach as a framework of analysis to assess quali

With the post-Kyoto climate negotiations underway, global emissions must be cut by 66% by, 2050 according to the IPCC, to prevent further damage to the environment. In order for this emission cut to be possible, all nations have to be a part of these negotiations. The Kyoto Protocol and the UNFCCC is the natural starting point for a new climate regime that must be established. Through a literatur

To deal with the problems resulting from the current unsustainable pattern of resource utilization, the material life cycle of plastics should be extended. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) has been increasingly adopted as a strategy to redirect the material flow, but its contributions to the market development of recycled plastics have not been well researched. Norway is one of the countrie
