Digital tools in (zoo)archaeology have great potential for education, mediation, and research. Microphotogrammetric 3D-modeling offers new non-intrusive analytical approaches to old problems and questions. This thesis aimed to perform morphological differentiation between cut marks made from lithic and metal tool using qualitative and statistical quantitative approaches (Principal Component Analys
What indicates that the Scandinavian bog bodies were places in bogs as a result of a ritual act? This paper will try to look into this by studying different cases of bog bodies from the Early Iron Age. To answer this question, I will examine the various theories researchers provide regarding bog bodies and why they were deposited. In a time period and region which is mainly dominated by cremation,
The territory of Western Sahara (WS) has been occupied by Morocco since 1975, displacing many of the indigenous people now living in refugee camps in Algeria. In 2019, the EU adopted a new Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement (SFPA) with Morocco which includes WS waters. This in spite of two court rulings stating that trade agreements including WS resources are not legal without the cons
Climate change and the sustainability challenges of the 21st century require the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in all sectors. Accordingly, political objectives urge for a shift from road to rail in logistics. This drives innovation, increased efficiency, and customer friendliness in the rail industry. These advancements are strongly needed as investments have been neglected in the past an
High costs, time delays, inefficiency and complicated border procedures when engaging in cross-border trade hinders competitiveness and economic development in many developing countries, such as Uganda. To try to reduce these obstacles and challenges, Uganda has implemented One-stop border posts, intending to make international trade cheaper, quicker, and simpler. This paper investigates the effic
Att leverera en god äldreomsorg är en av statens viktigaste uppgifter. Det är en viktig del av svensk välfärd, där invånarna har en förväntan om att kvaliteten på vården ska vara god och där staten vill att detta ska ske kostnadseffektivt. Den kanske viktigaste delen i dessa strävande är personalen vid de särskilda boendena som har daglig kontakt med brukarna. I detta arbete undersöks närmare vad
The current COVID-19 pandemic has confused markets and economies, leading competition authorities around the world to consider how to apply competition law in these exceptional circumstances. Competition authorities have introduced tools that have not previously been used in competition law and have succeeded in providing companies with prompt advice in cases of extreme urgency. The COVID-19 crisi
Reducing the ecological footprint and achieving environmental sustainability is regarded as one of the main goals of the world in recent decades. To achieve these goals, some practices in people’s life should be changed. As an essential part of human needs, food consumption is one of the practices that significantly impact environmental sustainability. In the last few decades, modern technologies,
Samhällsbyggnadsprocessen är en viktig del av samhällsutvecklingen där flera krav ställs för att skapa goda och hållbara möjligheter för alla. Vid byggnation måste man undersöka de befintliga förhållanden så att man inte bygger på en olämplig plats, men även analysera bland annat buller från trafik som har direkt påverkan på människors hälsa. Alla kraven undersöks vid olika skeden i planeringsprocIn Sweden, the urban planning process plays an important part of developing sustainable cities. Therefore, it is regulated by multiple requirements to ensure that nothing is built in areas where people may be negatively affected. The requirements are controlled at different stages in the process and there are recommended methods and guidelines on how to control them. Even if the requirements are c
In response to Loures Municipal Council’s recent proposal for redeveloping the Vila Valente Quarter of Moscavide, an area in urgent need of intervention, by demolishing, starting from scratch and relocating its vulnerable residents, this thesis challenges our responsibilities as architects when it comes to community development, especially with respect to the marginalised in society. We understand
In this paper, I show how stereotypes can confound the effects cultural diversity has on economic outcomes. This is done by expanding Kets and Sandroni’s (2021) theory of introspective equilibrium and cultural diversity by allowing inaccurate simplified beliefs about cultural groups. These simplified views (stereotypes) affect how strategic uncertainty is affected by diversity, the key mechanism o
Using the data of 110 completed special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) U.S.-listed between the 1st of January 2019 and the 15th of September 2021, this paper will examine the returns of SPACs based on the three phases of their SPACs life cycle in addition to the returns of their two main events; the merger announcement and the merger completion. Phase one is defined as the time period betwe
The main theme of this project is approaching the entire design process with logic thinking and feasible solutions at the core. Starting off with green house gas mitigation as the leading motivator, using relatively simple technology - to solve a high importance issue. The result is a system based on widely available technology, re-imagining grid level energy storage system as a mechanical and hig
Orbital or mean motion resonance (MMR) occurs when the orbital period ratio between two planets is close to a ratio of small integers. MMR can protect planets from collisions and affects the overall final architecture of the system. Observations of exoplanets have shown that the survival rate of MMR-chains is low, and most systems are near and just wide of an exact MMR. The most common chains are
