Previous studies have shown that belief in the healthiness of organic food is a strong motive for buying organic. Typically, a positive relation between a nutritionally balanced diet (with respect to fruit, vegetables and meat) and organic consumption is also found. As market shares of organic food are much smaller than those of conventional food, consumers may face a trade-off between buying orga
Birds migrate across the globe on their wings, a behavioural adaptation that allows birds to exploit seasonal environments. Their migrations are ultimately influenced by their ability to fly, a costly but high energy-efficient mode of locomotion that enables birds to travel far distances in a short amount of time. This thesis investigates bird migration from a flight energetic perspective, focusin
At the onset of the pandemic, Brazil’s Federal government approved an emergency basic income to be transferred to a variety of groups that had not earlier received any of the established welfare programs. Its implementation was however riddled with challenges. With a large informal economy, many Brazilian citizens were missing from the Federal Government’s registry and, even if registered, many di

At a time of increasing environmental changes and geopolitical tensions, the need for collaboration in the Arctic is greater than ever. Top-down initiatives such as the Arctic Council have contributed to important increased collaboration and science diplomacy. Similarly, bottom-up initiatives have also played a major role in establishing diplomacy among researchers with spin-offs at government lev
This chapter focuses on the experiences of powerlessness among police detectives in a global world. Specifically, it discusses how Danish detectives often feel that certain foreign national criminals get away with their crimes with impunity – here not necessarily meaning that criminals are not caught and sentenced. Rather, what increasingly frustrates Danish detectives are their experiences of how
This thesis has been carried out to investigate a few areas concerning electric and hybrid electric powered land vehicles. The main objective has been to analyze the efficiency of such power trains to compare them with canonical combustion engines, both in a tank-to-wheels basis and a well-to-wheels basis. One of the question formulations is if an electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle charge
It is still not well defined how the anatomy of the hip in healthy pediatric patients develop. Defining the span of normal anatomical development could help identify patients that deviate from healthy development and enable early diagnosis of certain pathological conditions of the hip. To study the normality range of the 3D morphology of the hip for pediatric patients, a statistical shape model (
Increasing global interconnectivity, in terms of our economies, ecological systems and population dynamics, can reduce or amplify the risks posed by climate change. The ongoing Coronavirus 2019 crisis demonstrates how rapidly disasters and risks can cascade and escalate across countries to become a shared problem globally. Climate change impacts are increasingly being recognised not only as a nati
I ett allt mer individbaserat samhälle, med ett skifte från normer när det gäller levnadssätt till allas unika livsval, ser vi ett ökat behov av boende för olika typer av konstellationer. Kärnfamiljen är inte lika självklar längre, ensamhushållen är fler och separationer är vanligt. Människor kan välja att bli förälder på egen hand och tvåsamhet som en självklarhet ifrågasätts helt och hållet. Vi In our individualized society, with a shift from strict norms on how we live our lives to everyone’s own unique lifestyle, we see a growing need for diversified housing for different types of constellations. The nuclear family is not a certainty anymore, the number of single residencies have increased and separations are common. People can choose to become a parent on their own and twosome relatio
Grey cast iron is one of the most used materials in the automotive industry. The material has a range of properties that makes it suitable for machining applications, but manufacturers still experience machinability problems. Automotive Components Floby (ACF), who currently experience machinability issues with brake discs, initiated this study to gain further understanding of tool deterioration in
Liquid hydrogen is an attractive alternative to fossil fuels in the aviation industry, but storing it both before and during flights introduces many challenges pertaining to the cryogenic liquid conditions required. Having reliable models to predict the dynamical behavior inside the storage tank is therefore of great interest. This thesis covers the development of a low-dimensional model for a l
Principen om självbestämmande har färdats långt från sitt ursprung som ett verktyg för politisk retorik till sin nuvarande ställning som en folkrättslig princip gällande erga omnes. Såväl innehållet som tillämpligheten av självbestämmanderätten förblir dock oklar. Detta gäller särskilt nationella minoriteter, som traditionellt inte har tillerkänts denna rättighet. Denna avhandling undersöker därföThe principle of self-determination has come a long way from its origins as a tool for political rhetoric to its current status as a right of international law valid erga omnes. However, the contents of the right to self-determination, as well as its applicability, remain unclear. This holds true especially concerning national minorities, which have not traditionally been considered recipients of
Not many people know that there exists a custody center for illegal immigrants in Sweden. Here immigrants live unwillingly until they get sent home to their country. They get put in custody because they haven’t got the right to stay in the country and the state is afraid they will go “under ground”. The staff consists of different types of people working every day with these immigrants. There work
Abstract Oil rich states all over the world share a common feature. They are less likely than other states, depending on other resources, to be ruled democratically. In this essay Saudi Arabia has been studied with the purpose of trying to find which mechanisms that lie behind why oil rich states do not have institutions or institutional change that promotes democracy. Saudi Arabia has the world
