Agricultural systems, specifically in the global South, and the people living of them, are more than others, exposed to changes in the environment around them. Smallholder farmers (that work in agroecological systems), with a low standard of living, are the most vulnerable to short-term shocks and long-term stresses. There have been attempts by development agencies, researchers and local governmen
Den svenska tryckfrihetslagstiftningen har en stark historisk förankring i svensk rätt, med rötter i den första tryckfrihetsförordningen från 1766. En period som starkt skiljer sig från utvecklingen av tryckfriheten överlag är åren kring andra världskriget. Samma år som kriget inleddes, 1939, började en mer restriktiv tryckfrihetspolitik utvecklas och de följande åren genomfördes ett flertal kontrThe freedom of the press has a strong historical tradition in Swedish law, with its roots in the act of 1766. A period that strongly differs from the development in general is the period during World War II. The same year as the war began, in 1939, a more restrictive policy regarding freedom of the press developed. During the following years, numerous controversial and constitutionally dubious leg
The present thesis, adopting the ecology of language as its conceptual orientation as well as employing linguistic landscape as its methodological tool to collect and analyze data, firstly aims at investigating (1) how the four official languages of Singapore namely Malay, (Mandarin) Chinese, Tamil, and English have been deployed on signs by three different social actors, i.e., the Singaporean gov
This master’s thesis investigates the possibilities of detecting the rhopalia of box jellyfishes, i.e. the eyes of the box jellyfish. Each box jellyfish has four rhopalia and each of the rhopalium consists of six light sensing eyes which they use to interpret the surroundings. In this project we have worked with fifteen film sequences all consisting of different box jellyfishes and recorded under
Brottsligheten i Sverige har på senare tid blivit alltmer komplicerad och omfattande, vilket har inneburit allvarliga påfrestningar både för rättssystemet och för de enskilda som på något sätt har varit inblandade i dessa mål. Med anledning härav tillsattes den 7 april 2016 ett antal särskilda utredare med uppgift att undersöka hur straffprocessen i stora brottmål skulle kunna effektiviseras med bIn recent years, criminal behaviour has changed quite a bit due to an increased internationalization and an advanced use of internet. As a result, the frequency of complex and large-scaled crimes has increased remarkably, which has caused the Swedish judicial system great difficulties. Both the crime investigations and the legal proceedings in these cases require huge recourses, and additionally,
Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda och jämföra traditionsprincipen och avtalsprincipen på sakrättens område för att göra en värdering om vilket alternativ som bör gälla för svensk framtid. För att ge ett nytt perspektiv kompareras de svenska argumenten med situationen i Danmark där en avtalsprincip tillämpas. Traditionsprincipen har länge utgjort en central del av svensk sakrätt. Principen innebär aThis essay aims to investigate and compare the doctrine of traditio (known as traditionsprincipen) and the principle of contract in the area of Swedish property law in order to evaluate which alternative should be used in future in Sweden. To give a new perspective, the Swedish findings will be compared to the situation in Denmark where a contractual principle is already in effect. Traditionsprinc
Studien undersöker tre gymnasielärare i musik och deras syn på skolans två huvudsakliga uppdrag: kunskapsuppdraget och demokrati- och värdegrundsuppdraget, som ämnar förbereda barn och ungdomar för deras inträde i samhällets normer och ett arbetsliv. Undersökningar visar att lärare misslyckas med demokrati- och värdegrundsuppdraget där en bidragande orsak varit att det har skett en förändring i deThe study examines three teachers of music in upper secondary school and their views on the school's two main tasks: the knowledge mission and the democracy and the fundamental values mission, which aim to prepare children and adolescents for their entry into the norms of society, and future careers. Studies show that teachers fail with the democracy and fundamental value mission, where a cont
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) plays a significant role in climate change by altering the global atmospheric radiation budget. Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are major sources for the formation of SOA. Their relationship is critical to understand the continental biosphere-aerosol-cloud-climate (COBACC) feedback mechanism but receives less attention in previous studies. In this study,
Gällande entreprenadarbeten torde det vara vanligt förekommande att beställaren påtalar fel som denne vill att entreprenören ska avhjälpa. För att en part ska kunna aktualisera en påföljd vid påstått kontraktsbrott krävs enligt branschavtalet AB 04, precis som enligt allmän förmögenhetsrätt i övrigt, att en reklamation företas. Syftet med uppsatsen är därför att undersöka hur beställarens påkallanWhen it comes to contract work in the construction sector it is common that the client points out faults that he wants the contractor to rectify. For a party to be able to enforce a sanction in the event of an alleged breach of contract, the branch regulation AB 04 prescribes, just as according to general property law, that a complaint is made. The purpose of the thesis is therefore to investigate
Gräsrotsfinansiering är en växande alternativ finansieringsform, både i Sverige och internationellt. Finansieringsformen kännetecknas av att många investerare tillsammans investerar en relativt liten men totalt sett betydande summa kapital i en affärsidé eller ett projekt. Andelsbaserad gräsrotsfinansiering är en variant av gräsrotsfinansiering som innebär att investeraren erhåller andelar i det iCrowdfunding is a growing alternative form of financing, both in Sweden and internationally. This form of financing is characterized by the fact that many investors together invest a relatively small but overall significant amount of capital in a business idea or project. Equity crowdfunding is a variant of crowdfunding which means that the investor acquires shares in the invested company in. The
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
This essay investigates the relation between economic growth and happiness, with regard to the central position of economic growth on the political agenda in the Western world today. In political argumentation it is often claimed that economic growth and existing economic conditions are challenged by processes of change, especially economic globalisation and "de-industrialisation". In th
Det kan vara problematiskt att hålla förhör och åberopa förhör med barn som bevittnat våld i nära relation. När barnet inte uppnått en viss ålder och mognad så att barnets medgivande till förhör är tillräckligt, ska barnet enligt föräldrabalkens bestämmelser företrädas av, vanligtvis, vårdnadshavaren. Åldersgränsen för när barn uppnått en tillräcklig ålder och mognad så att denne själv kan ta till, can be problematic. When the child doesn´t reach a certain age and maturity so the child's consent to interrogation is sufficient, the child will under föräldrabalkens provisions represented by, usually, the guardian. The age limit for when the children reached a sufficient age and maturity, so they can take advantage of their right appears as a general rule be fifteen years. If the child wi
In early 2010 Mattias Andersson, head of internal logistics at Kraft Foods production of chocolate in Upplands Väsby, experienced his factory as messy and unstructured. He suspected that the factory's inventory levels were higher than what was necessary for the production plant; in order meet its commitments. This led to "waste" represented by high cost of capital and a lot of truck
Pollination av paranötsträd i ett föränderligt skogslandskap Paranötsträdet (Berthollethia excelsa) växer vilt i stora delar av Amazonas regnskog. Paranötter konsumeras globalt och är en viktig inkomstkälla för många småbrukare i Peru, Bolivia och Brasilien. På grund av dess ekonomiska värde är trädet fridlyst i dessa tre länder. Då skogsavverkning ökar till förmån för bland annat gruvdrift och The Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa) produces Brazil nuts, an economically important non-timber forest product. As land-conversion from forest to field increases throughout the Brazil nut tree’s range, many trees end up being the only remaining mature tree in open fields or in secondary forest. The Brazil nut tree is dependent on a variety of large bees for pollination and fruit set. It is t
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
