Environmental volunteering in Iceland was taken as a case study to investigate whether taking part in an extended conservation volunteering project has the potential to increase participants’ connection with nature and motivate them to act in a more environmentally-friendly way. Drawing from theories of behavior change and the human-nature relationship a mixed-methods approach was applied. Levels
Backgrund: Nederman har ett långsiktigt mål att förbättra enheten i Helsingborg. Ett steg i detta är att se om det finns några förbättringar att genomföra i lagerstyrningen i form av lager- och servicenivåer. Detta då de anställda upplever dagens verktyg som ganska trubbiga för det nuvarande produktsortimenetet och att detta kanske kan förbättras genom ytterliggare en dimension på det befintliga sBackground: Nederman has a long term goal of improving their supply unit in Helsingborg. One step of this is to investigate if there are any improvements to be made in the inventory control in terms of stock levels and service level. This since the employees at Nederman believes that the existing methods are too blunt as a tool for the product range and that their methods can be improved by adding
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an established treatment for actinic keratosis and selected non-melanoma skin cancers. Still, its broader use is limited by pain, skin irritation, and formulation constraints associated with high photosensitiser concentrations. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a Crystalip®-based topical PDT formulation that enables two-step manufacturing, delivers methyl-amino
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the restored Baltic States have been struggling with the consequences of half a century of Soviet rule. One of the problems has been the substantial demographic change. As a result of this, when the pressure from Moscow relieved and after the independence, some laws were adopted for the purpose of strengthening the conditions of the languages in thes
Environmental and forest conservation have long been perceived as a constraint to economic growth and development. With a growing understanding of the benefits from ecosystem services for people, and benefits for conservation when managed by local people, synergies between conservation and development have become more prominent. This research paper analyses this link by looking at ecotourism as a
This thesis assesses two relatively new rule of law tools of two regional organisations in Europe – the European Union with the new EU Framework for strengthening the rule of law, and the Venice Commission with a new rule of law checklist, and puts them in relation with a concrete case. The rule of law is a principle worth safeguarding at any time, but its relevance increases as it is being questi

Loneliness as a social issue has been gaining extensive interest in recent years, but the subject has lacked results stemming from qualitative research and the link between loneliness and low income has been understudied. This thesis is one minor part in covering these both gaps. I have aimed at using previous quantitative findings on loneliness among low income earners in order to expand on the l
Damage to DNA can cause death to an individual cell and serious harm to the host organism. Photosensitized reactions are one cause of DNA damage. It can lead to destructive chemical reactions targeted to a base of the DNA as well as a breakage along one or both of the DNA strands. Due to this, quantifying and understanding photosensitized driven DNA damage is an important topic of research. From
Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att undersöka om det mot bakgrund av debatten som försiggått i riksdagen, och tillämpningen av den nuvarande nödvärnsregleringen i praktiken, finns ett behov av att utvidga rätten till nödvärn. Framställningen presenteras ur ett rättsutvecklingsperspektiv. De två bestämmelserna som medger straffrihet ifråga om våld utövat i nödvärn finns dels i 24 kap. 1 § brottsbaThe overall purpose of the thesis is to investigate whether, in the light of the debate that has taken place in the Riksdag, and the application of the current law of self-defense in practice, there is a need to extend the right to selfdefense. The presentation is presented from a legal development perspective. The two provisions that allow impunity in the case of violence perpetrated in self-defe
In light of alarming reports on devastating effects of deforestation, the UNFCCC initiated in 2005 REDD+; a climate scheme designed to halt deforestation and mitigate emissions from forest degradation. Despite being met with enthusiastic approval at top level, the scheme has been met with resistance by local forest community groups. Displaying the core characteristics of a depoliticized policy iss
The EC provisions on fiscal State aid have since 1997 become an important part of the work against harmful tax competition. The application of the State aid rules to harmful measures is a reversal of the common direction of aid (i.e. leading to preferential tax treatment). This creates several interest-ing legal problems, for example if these rules provide a suitable method to tackle harmful tax c
In, the Balinese Village of Buahan Kaja, BPTP (Assessment Institute for Agricultural Technology), a sector of the Indonesian concerned with research and technology, has implemented a program (Pri Mitani) which aims to (a) aid farmers in the conversion from conventional chemical based methods to organic, sustainable systems, (b) help farmers produce better quality produce that can be competitive on
This paper looks at al-Qaida and the nearly decade of war through concepts offered by a scientific paradigm called complexity theory. The networks, organization and ideology of al-Qaida in this paper are described in terms of complex adaptive systems, emergent networks with localized behavior. How Al-Qaida in the face of adversity of being one of the most hunted organizations, networks and ideolog
The current study examines the effects of a computerised Working Memory (WM) intervention in elementary school children when training in groups of various sizes. It further examines the effects of noise during the performance of WM tasks. The children included were 7 - 9 years old and were randomly assigned to control and training groups based on Raven's scores. Results showed an improvement o
The impacts of harbour porpoises by human-made, so called anthropogenic, underwater noise disturbance have been investigated in the past decades. As harbour porpoises are protected under the EU habitat directive, underwater noise management has been proposed as part of conservation efforts. Disturbance of harbour porpoises by ship noise and boat activity has previously been reported to have negati
