The theoretical framework was composed by cognitive adjustment theory and Berry’s acculturation model. The method that was used was qualitative research build on

Sexual minorities have been largely ignored in Japanese politics until very recently. The past couple of years have seen a change where LGBT issues have been brought to attention in both politics and in media. This thesis explored what impact these changes have on the lives of individuals, and the research was a qualitative study based on fieldwork in Japan and secondary sources. The study drew on

This thesis studies what triggers people’s environmental attitude using theories of the New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) and emotional affinity towards nature. Having looked at the case of a nature park in Kuala Selangor, Peninsular Malaysia carrying out mangrove rehabilitation and conservation, I also aimed to investigate the institutional interrelations and how these combined with environmental

In 2014, the sharia-ruled Aceh province of Indonesia legislated bylaw qanun jinayat no.6/2014, which criminalised same-sex acts, and imposed a caning punishment consisting of a hundred lashes if a person was found guilty. The law impelled a hunt and persecution of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) individuals, thereby worsening discrimination against the already hampered LGBT community. T

From Nye’s famous soft power, a new international relations concept has recently emerged: strategic narratives, the narratives which different states use to promote their agendas in the international system. This thesis focuses on one particular aspect of Sino-Japanese relations: the understanding, characterization and possible implications of the strategic narratives projected by both countries v

I det här arbetet arbetar jag med frågor om vad som skapar gemenskap och tillhörighet till den plats vi bor på och de människor vi delar den med. Genom analyser och teoristudier kommer jag fram till några principer som jag applicerar i den fysiska utformningen i ett kvarter i nordöstra Malmö. Principerna handlar om behovet av att vara privat och att röra sig från privata mot successivt mer offentl

This study looks into Intercultural Bilingual Education among the Indigenous Peoples of the Andes. Using the policy as a vantage point it shows the interconnectedness of the different parts of a larger network of processes influencing it. Spring boarding of Foucault's second notion of biopower, that which concerns the regulation of the population, and the governmentality concept, the study con

Baumol in his seminal paper “Entrepreneurship: Productive, Unproductive and Destructive” offers the hypothesis that while total supply of entrepreneurs varies among societies, their productive contribution varies much more because of institutions in those countries. According to him, the rules of the game are responsible to divert entrepreneurial capabilities to productive, unproductive or destruc

To achieve this, the study will present an understanding of BI consultancy and v

En nätverkskamera med en näsa Dagens nätverkskameror innehåller i många fall redan idag flera sensorer utöver bildsensorer. De kan ta upp ljud och känna vibrationer bland annat. Utöver detta, kan en gassensor också vara ett komplement? Lågkostnadssensorer för gasmätning är något som börjar att sticka upp på marknaden och öppnar upp för många applikationer. De lägre priserna möjliggör även att de kSome network cameras have already several other sensors besides the image sensor to extend the capabilities of the camera. It is then only natural to think what can be achieved when air sensors are added into the mix. In this master thesis the applications of air sensors coupled together with network cameras have been investigated. Considering the network infrastructure is already in place, having

My work discusses how Gibe III is a Sustainable Development but is not sustainable. Along the river Omo are tribes and, unlike Gibe III which utilizes instrumental rationality to harness the flow of the River Omo for the production of hydroelectricity, they plant crops after the flow from the hydrological cycle floods the riverbanks with water and nutrients. I simplified Hägerstrand’s (2001) Syste

Detta projekt utreder hur en by kan utvecklas genom att ha turism som drivkraft. Knäred är en ort med cirka 1200 invånare och har haft en stagnerande befolkningskurva de senaste 20 åren. Det är besultat att den tåget återigen ska gå mellan Markaryd och Halmstad för persontrafik med up- pehåll i Knäred. Men genom att anlägga en järnvägsstatoion innebär inte per automatik att ett samhälle växer. FörThis project is investigating how a village can be developed by using tourism as the main driving force. Knäred is a villa- ge with around 1200 inhabitants that has had a decreasing population the past 20 years. It has been decided that the old train stop will be opened for passenger transportation again. But reestablishing a train station does not automa- tically mean that a settlement will grow.

Agri-environmental schemes [AESs], which pay farmers to manage their land more environmentally sustainably, are the European Union’s primary policy instrument for addressing rural environmental problems. The majority of AESs in Europe are action-oriented (meaning they pay farmers to adhere to specified management prescriptions). However, a new approach, the results-oriented scheme (which pays farm

Neo-könskromosomer – evolution i realtid Ditt biologiska kön bestäms av din uppsättning könskromosomer. Har du dubbla X-kromosomer är du kvinna och som man har du en X- och en Y-kromosom. Könskromosomernas evolution är speciell och svårstuderad, t ex vet man inte riktigt varför Y är så mycket mindre än X trots att de från början var lika stora. Man vet visserligen att den här nedbrytningsprocesse

In recent years the populations of the lesser spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos minor) has been declining in Sweden. Many other species, like for example the marsh tit (Poecile palustris), depend on woodland structures that the lesser spotted woodpecker creates such as nesting holes. I did a comparison study between data from The Lesser Spotted Woodpecker Project made in 1980’s and my own recently c

De skånska kronhjortarna, nytta eller nöje? Populationerna av kronhjortar (Cervus elaphus) växer i hela Europa vilket för med sig nya utmaningar. Naturenthusiaster och jägare välkomnar helhjärtat spridningen av kronviltet men för andra kan populationsökningarna medföra stora problem. Kronhjortarna följer en dygnsrytm där de söker skydd från mänsklig aktivitet på dagen och söker bete i öppna landsThe red deer (Cervus elaphus) is a highly adaptable animal that can live in a wide range of habitats while sustaining itself on many different types of food. However, management of red deer populations is at a cross-road, since large populations are desired from hunting and recreational perspectives, but too large populations can cause significant economic damage on production forests and farmed c
