The call for climate justice becomes increasingly urgent as environmental degradation and social injustices grow even more intertwined, with their compounded impacts disproportionately affecting communities in the Global South. This thesis critically examines how the European Green Deal (EGD), as a climate policy, perpetuates neo-colonial power structures under the guise of sustainability, using t
In 2016, after decades of armed conflict, the Colombian government signed a peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People's Army (FARC - EP). Nevertheless, the hopes for peace have not been realised, since violence, assassinations of social leaders, displacement of local communities and environmental degradation still occur. New groups are taking over the areas forme
At its origins, traceable back to about 50 years ago, the German “Energiewende” began as a fight against both nuclear energy, politicians pursuing nuclear-based energy strategies and also implementing them forcefully, as well as omnipotent enterprises.(1) After the Fukoshima tragedy in 2011, and the subsequent plans of Germany to abandon nuclear energy within its own borders, the term “Energiewend
Meson-baryon systems with strangeness content provide a unique laboratory for investigating the strong interaction and testing theoretical models of hadron structure and dynamics. In this work, the measured correlation functions for oppositely charged Ξ-K and Ξ−π pairs obtained in high-multiplicity pp collisions at s=13 TeV at the LHC are presented. For the first time, high-precision data on the Ξ
Several scholarly works have identified the weakness of mainstream social science and the humanities to theorize racism. The sociology of absence grasps the systematic exclusion of specific experiences and specific voices within social theory. We are inspired by these contributions in our exploration of the role and the location of the category of residents racialized as not belonging to the Swedi
This paper studies and analyses the IIT in motor cars between Eastern and Western Europe. The driving forces and the determinants of IIT are manifold. In this paper the focus lies on the country level determinants and especially the relationship between economic integration, geographical proximity and economic size as determinants of IIT and the per capita GDP as a determinant of the nature of IIT
Purpose: The purpose of our thesis is to analyze the application of models from product branding on job-seeking business students as a way to establish a personal brand. Conclude: We found that the principles of product branding closely resembles those of personal branding and are therefore applicable. The models that build a products brand can do the same for a business student. Thereby we can co
The Internet is a unique medium never before seen and its introduction is probably only rivalled by that of television. 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-
Non-harmonized direct taxes fall within the Member States' competence. This means that the Member States are free to develop their own tax systems, as long as there is no Community harmonisation. But since the freedom of establishment (and other rights under the EC Treaty) could be disturbed by national tax law, this competence must be exercised in consistency with Community law to avoid any d
Popular Abstract in Swedish Belysning står för en femtedel av den globala elanvändningen. I Sverige motsvarar efterfrågan på energi för belysning i kontorsbyggnader 20% av den totala elanvändningen. Utbyte av gamla belysningsanläggningar anses vara bland de mest kostnadseffektiva sätten att minska energianvändningen i byggnader. I synnerhet utlovar användningen av avancerade ljusstyrningssystem enLighting accounts for one-fifth of global electricity use. In Sweden, energy demand for lighting corresponds to 20% of the total electricity use in office buildings. Lighting retrofit measures are considered to be among the most cost-efficient way to reduce energy use in buildings. In particular, the use of advanced lighting control systems promises energy savings of between 2 and 60%, but system
Background: To examine the association of education with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Method: This study included 141,230 male and 336,637 female EPIC-participants, who were recruited between 1992 and 2000. Education, which was assessed by questionnaire, was classified into four categories; BMI and WC
The availability of standard protocols to obtain DNA sequences has allowed the inference of phylogenetic Hypotheses for many taxa, including moths. We here have inferred a phylogeny using maximum-Likelihood and Bayesian approaches for a species-rich group of moths (Erebidae, Arctiinae), with strong emphasis on Neotropical genera collected in different field campaigns in the Atlantic Forest of Braz
It is well established that fibroblasts play a crucial role in pathophysiological extracellular matrix remodelling. The aim of this project is to elucidate their role in normal physiological remodelling. Specifically, the remodelling of the human cervix during pregnancy, resulting in an enabled passage of the child, is used as the model system. Fibroblast cultures were established from cervices of
The 2018–2019 Central European drought was probably the most extreme in Germany since the early sixteenth century. We assess the multiple consequences of the drought for natural systems, the economy and human health in the German part of the Elbe River basin, an area of 97,175 km2 including the cities of Berlin and Hamburg and contributing about 18% to the German GDP. We employ meteorological, hyd
With protectionism on a global rise, non-tariff measures have been an object for public debates and research, as the work of WTO has reduced the possibilities of raising traditional trade restrictions as customs tariffs. Hence governments have turned to non-tariff measures and regulatory standards to fulfill their agendas. This study aims at shedding light on the question of whether non-tariff mea
