It is unique in the sense that every person connected to the Internet has the possibility of interacting with other people across the globe simultaneously. The tools introduced to facilitate this interaction are IP-addresses and domain names. Domain names are connected to the IP-

Development, where agriculture is a central component, is today often related to different aspects of sustainability. Sustainable development is argued to be most effective when implemented on a local level where non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are usually active agents. The implementation of sustainable practices, such as sustainable agriculture, could hence be argued to depend upon the eff
Water resources management in a catchment requires the quantification of the water potential. This is usually achieved by the estimation of the hydrological and meteorological characteristics of the basin using observed data to carry out statistical estimates or for use in hydrological models. Hydrological and meteorological data for the Mefou sub basin in Cameroon were collected to analyse the ra
The aim for the project was to develop a risk analyse tool for measuring the fire safety level in Cultural Heritage buildings of Visby, Gotland. In 1995 Visby were taken into the Unesco:s World Heritage List with the explanation ?Visby is an outstanding example of a Northern European walled Hanseatic town which has in a unique way preserved its townscape and its extremely valuable buildings?

This thesis, based on a minor field study in Nicaragua, analyzes the impacts of globalization on the Nicaraguan labor unions. It also poses the question of how organized labor has responded to increasing economic globalization, in Nicaragua characterized by the neoliberal policies pursued by the government since 1990, backed by international financial institutes. The analysis demonstrates that th
Nanotechnology is a collective definition referring to every technology and science which operates on a nanoscale. Nanoparticles have different properties than larger particles and these properties can be utilized in a wide spectre of areas such as in medicine, information technologies, energy production and storage, materials, manufacturing and environmental applications. Although nano-derived a
Studien syftar till att undersöka hbt-personers upplevelser av terapi i hbt-avseende, med fokus på situationer som upplevts särskilt positiva respektive negativa. Då få studier finns på området har en explorativ ansats valts. Nio semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med informanter som rekryterats via en web-enkät. Informanterna har valts utifrån att de haft både positiva och negativa erfarThis study aims to examine lgbt persons´ experiences of therapy from an lgbt perspective, with a focus on situations that have been experienced as especially positive or negative. Since few studies have been conducted on the subject, the study is explorative. Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with informants who were recruited through a web-based survey.

The purpose of this thesis is to question the cause of the lack of consensus surrounding Europe 2020s poverty and social exclusion target – to lift 20 million people out of poverty and social exclusion. The target was a major development for the European Union’s social dimension. Even so, it did not come easily, with divides over the existence and measurement of such a target. The Commission propo
Skatteflykt är ett problem för många av världens suveräna stater. Det finns olika metoder för att bemöta problemet, vanligast är att en stat väljer att instifta en lagstiftning med en generalklausul eller att genom praxis utveckla riktlinjer för när en transaktion skall anses vara skatteflykt. I Sverige och Australien har lagstiftarna valt att genom generalklausuler försöka bekämpa skatteflykt. SyTax avoidance is an issue for many of the sovereign states of the world. Different methods are used in different countries to combat tax avoidance, the most common forms of anti-avoidance measure is either using legislation consisting of a general anti-avoidance rule or using case law to develop general guidelines for when a transaction should be considered tax avoidance. In Sweden and Australia t
Syftet med denna uppsats är ringa in den diskrepans i syn på Lundsbergs internatskola som finns bland utomstående och invigda. Arbetet är till sin form kvalitativ och i enlighet med den kvalitativa traditionen är det intervjupersonernas egna erfarenheter som lyfts fram. Parallellt med intervjuerna studeras utbildningssociologiska texter, i synnerhet Pierre Bourdieus teorier och texter kring elitsk
Spatial and temporal variations in malaria transmission are naturally associated with prevailing climatic and environmental factors, for example rainfall, humidity, temperature and human activities. These factors influence malaria transmission mainly in non-deterministic ways, making them less appropriate for accurate geographical mapping of malaria risk. One distinctive phenomenon, ‘photosyntheti
Due to the possibility of nanotechnology becoming the next general purpose technology, generating considerable socio-economic benefits, it has become popular with policy-makers and academics around the world, and led to massive investments in national R&D programmes. While in some cases nanotechnology is still in its early stages of research, in many others it has already resulted in innovatio

Gender role conflict (GRC) was originally developed to evaluate men’s health in relation to perceived “masculinity”. In previous studies, GRC has been associated with poor mental health and low help-seeking behavior in men. In this study, we expanded on previous research and were able to demonstrate that also women and genderqueer individuals can display GRC. An aim was also to investigate any po
In the last 20 years more than 7,300 disaster events were recorded across the world. Global trends indicated that in 2019 over 79 million people were displaced worldwide, 45 million were internally displaced and there were 26 million refugees. The nature of disasters is increasingly complex, uncertain and long lasting and refugees represent a growing community often disproportionately affected by
This study focuses on the relationship between education and economic growth, specifically the effect a potential decline in schooling caused by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic would have on the economic growth of a country. Using an inductive approach, the study focuses on the Sub- Saharan African countries, especially Kenya, since there is anecdotal evidence that a significant number of students h
