Wind power development in Iceland is still on early stages where there are no wind farms and only a few wind turbines up and running in the whole country. However, the fast growing development of wind power that has been taking place in Europe and around the world has not gone unseen in Iceland. The interest in wind power is growing rapidly and the preparation of the development of the first wind
In this project, a comprehensive statistical review is done regarding beam distribution evolution and losses of protons in the ESS LINAC. It aims to clarify some unanswered questions regarding the change in the distribution as it evolves through the LINAC and how sudden changes can effect the losses of protons downstream. The correlation between the sub phase-spaces were removed to be able to study
As climate change is a global threat it is of essence to understand how we can work against it. Research within the sphere of Peace and Conflict Studies lacks the perspective of the psychology behind world leaders as an explanation for how environmental policy is conducted. This thesis investigates what type of leader Obama and Trump are, what implications that has on environmental policy and how

In 2018, several European nations celebrated their centennial anniversaries of independence. Two of them, Estonia and Latvia, had never been independent before 1918, and for these nations, the events surrounding independence therefore have a special meaning. This is not least made evident by the historical development that they have gone through over the course of the past century, having been inc
The study was carried out to assess the energy performance of the buildings in a cluster located in Lund. The buildings were the projects of million homes program, built in the 1960s, and are in great need of renovation. Five retrofit techniques were proposed in the study. Improving the building envelope with insulation and windows, adding an exhaust air heat pump, combining exhaust air heat pump,
Entrepreneurship from a neuropsychological approach is certainly a field worth investigating. This dissertation aims to closely investigate the influence of OCD and OCPD traits and behavioral patterns on entrepreneurial decision-making. In the analysis of the study, this paper uses a sample of 11 semi-structured interviews divided between OCD and OCPD entrepreneurs. The closing results of the thes
This thesis investigates the effect of relaxing the assumption of full rationality on a frictional search and matching market with transferable utilities. It has previously been shown that such markets without transferable utilities may exhibit agents searching for a matching partner for longer than optimal due to them overestimating their prospects on the market. Reduced search frictions further
The purpose of this paper was to contribute to an increased knowledge of the punitive attitudes of Swedish 18-30 year olds, and more specifically which potential factors could possibly explain why people have the different levels of punitive attitude that they do as, well as how these factors impact people’s level of punitive attitude. The variables that were chosen to be explored further were pol
Developments in mobile technologies and social networks promote the mushrooming of self-presentation practices in virtual space, stimulating individuals to create idealized self-images and maintain desired social impressions. Posting fitness selfies is a popular mode of selectively constructing visual self-presentation in the fitness culture and digital age. Previous studies have demonstrated that
In recent decades, the Republic of Turkey has emerged on the global stage. Through a number of state-run organisations, the country has built a notable presence across former Ottoman territories as well as in the broader Muslim world. This thesis investigates the activities of the Turkish state against the backdrop of Joseph S. Nye’s theory of soft power through a case study of the Turkish presenc
I internets digitala tidsålder är mer information och material tillgängligt för fler personer än någonsin tidigare. Detta innebär nya möjligheter för produktion av kreativt material, men det kommer också med stora svårigheter när det gäller verkställighet av upphovsrätt. Som lösning på detta har EU antagit direktivet om upphovsrätt på den digitala inre marknaden (DSM-direktivet). I praktiken kräveIn the digital age of the internet, more content is available to more people than ever before. While this provides an unprecedented opportunity for people to produce creative material for entertainment, it also comes with great difficulties regarding enforcement of copyright. In a response to this, the EU has adopted the Digital Single Market Directive (DSM Directive). In practice, the Directive r
Radicalization is a debated concept and should a consensus arrive on its meaning, the ambiguity of the process would most likely remain. This research paper does not side with any model of radicalization but instead chooses to focus on one concept present in much of this research, namely grievance. Through the horizontal inequality thesis, grievance is operationalized as an inequality pertaining t
Ever since it was created, the Eurovision Song Contest has functioned as an arena for nation branding and nation building. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the field of cultural diplomacy and political storytelling through studying how participation in the Eurovision Song Contest can contribute to a country’s international image. This thesis has studied how the Russian entries betwee
That international law progressively recognises and prohibits torture and other forms of ill-treatment in their emergent forms has become widely-accepted in the anti-torture discourse. The premise that torture’s techniques and contexts change is taken to intimately inform juridical recognition, representation and response. Relevant international treaties, such as the UN Convention Against Torture
Methods and equipment used for fighting forest fires are different from the ones used in urban fires. Generally, the wildfires are intense, require more resources and tend to spread rapidly. The effectiveness of different suppression techniques is difficult to evaluate since they depend on terrain, weather conditions and other varying factors over time and space. The current study focuses on the s
Debates around biodiversity and forestry in Sweden have gotten increasingly polarised, with two conflicting forestry goals of production and environmental conservation. Significantly for forest birds, two different claims are occurring simultaneously: 1) forest bird abundance is increasing with positive population trends for some species while 2) there is a stagnation or even decline in forest bir
Small regional airports are known to be economically unsustainable. When the previous private owner of Ängelholm-Helsingborg Airport announced their intention to shut the airport down, seven municipalities in northwestern Skåne decided to buy it. This has raised debate about whether municipalities should allocate resources to an economically and environmentally unsustainable business. The purpose
