The transport of terrestrial carbon through riverine systems to coastal water may have a negative impact on the oxygen concentration. However, information on seasonal variation and the impact of composition of the catchment area on bioavailability is lacking. This paper covers the January and April samplings, which are a part of a yearlong study. To examine the seasonal variation in composition an

The building industry consumes approximately 40 per cent of materials entering the global economy while facing significant challenges related to unsustainable consumption of natural resources and greenhouse gas emissions. The concept of the circular economy is gaining momentum as a solution which addresses these issues while generating economic benefits. To transition towards a circular economy, s

I en värld av stigande oro över materialbrist och klimatförändring har den cirkulära ekonomin fått allt mer uppmärksamhet. Ett område som i nuläget är högaktuellt är byggindustrins omställning mot en mer cirkulär ekonomi. Denna studie kastar ett ljus över hur cirkulärt byggande uppfattas, vilka hinder som finns i nuläget och vad man kan dra nytta av i arbetet framöver. I takt med en växande världAs the global world population is growing, so is the demand and consumption for the earth's natural resources. Circular economy has attracted global attention as an alternative to the predominating linear economic system. The construction industry represents a field causing significant climate-and environmental impact and waste. How circular economy should be applied practically within constru

I examine if participatory action research can be used to launch processes in women’s action groups in rural areas of a lower middle income country, which can lead to empowerment of the organization. Participatory action research conducted in Western Georgia was designed to investigate marginalization of rural women and whether a researcher can intervene by taking on a role of an external change-m

Construction business is responsible for a large portion of the world's emissions of greenhouse gases. As part of the work against this, environmental certifications has become more and more common. This is partly because consumers have been more willing to pay more for products or services with low environmental impact and this has had a major impact on the construction industry. In this stud

Plea bargaining kan beskrivas som att åklagaren, i utbyte mot att den misstänkte erkänner en eller flera gärningar, kan besluta att inte väcka åtal för vissa andra gärningar eller att väcka åtal för ett lindrigare brott. Detta brukar betecknas som åtalsförhandlingar, till skillnad från påföljdsförhandlingar, där åklagaren i utbyte mot att den misstänkte erkänner, går med på en viss straffnivå som Plea bargaining can briefly be described as the possibility for the defendant to confess to one of several charges or to a less serious charge, in return for the prosecution dismissing other charges. This is commonly referred to as charge bargaining unlike sentence bargaining where, in exchange for the defendant confessing, the prosecution agrees to a lenient sentence and requests that it be impos

The two-Higgs-doublet model is a promising extension of the Standard Model of particle physics, but it contains a large number of free parameters. With the intention to constrain this freedom, the model has been studied under different symmetries. In particular, a full classification of Abelian global symmetries has been presented in 2011. However, breaking global symmetries spontaneously leads to u

Studiens syfte var att undersöka effekterna på resurser och lönsamhet när en mellanhand standardiserar en fundamental resurs. Studien grundade sig i en kvalitativ flerfallsstudie av abduktiv ansats. Primärdatan erhölls genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer med restauranger i Lund. Dataanlysen genfördes sedan med hjälp av första- och andranivås kodning. Undersökningen utgick från den resursbaserade tThe purpose of the study was to investigate the impact on recourses and profitability when an intermediary standardizes a fundamental resource. The study is a qualitative multiple case study with an abductive approach. The primary data was collected using semi structured interviews with restaurants in Lund. The data was analysed by dividing it into first order categories and then into second order

In times of climate change, companies face extreme pressure from external stakeholders to engage in environmental sustainability activities. Especially companies of industries that significantly contribute to the global carbon emissions are expected to change their behaviour. There, the road freight transportation business is known for its particularly heavy impact. Being forced to adapt to change

Formerly widely distributed throughout Europe, the great snipe (Gallinago media) – a medium-sized wader species – has experienced an important decline in the last century, mainly driven by habitat loss. Remaining population are now restricted to eastern Europe and Scandinavia and the species is considered endangered. The great snipe (Gallinago media) is a food specialist, feeding almost exclusivel

Purpose We aim to investigate how professionals make sense of the culture in the context of PSFs and how they engage in organizational and professional identification.
