In this thesis I examine how the aggressive fracking-debate in the Canadian Province New Brunswick from 2010 onwards, and how the three participating actors (the fracking-critical Native Canadian group Elsipogtog First Nation, the non-native fracking-critical group New Brunswick Anti-Shale Gas Alliance (NBASGA) and the fossil fuel company Southwestern Energy Resources Canada) view nature in differ

In this Master’s thesis I aim to examine the usability in the Swedish National Archival Database to find out the archivists’ view on the usability in the database and how this may affect record finding in their everyday work. The empirical data consists of interviews with five archivists from five different archival institutions. NAD is a digital finding-aid for archival information. It is availa

In Europe, there are still a significant amount of residential fires. Particularly fires in the living room are a major threat to the occupants. Much research has been done to residential fires. However, there is still little known about the impact of the development of building structures and building content on the fire behaviour and room conditions. This report shows a clear view of how these d

The purpose of this report is to evaluate the fire safety for the visitors at China Teatern. The theatre is situated in central Stockholm, Sweden, and houses up to 1249 visitors. This report does not consider damage done to property or to the surrounding environment. After a visit at the theatre in February 2016, various data was gathered and analyzed. A dozen fire scenarios were identified and ev

Bakgrund: Kommunikation är en av hörnstenarna inom palliativ vårdfilosofi. Imogen Kings måluppfyllnadsteori lyfter kommunikation som en avgörande faktor för god omvårdnad.

Humanitarian crises require a quick and effective emergency response to answer the needs of vulnerable populations. Deploying mobile health clinics in the field is an example of an outreach activity that can be undertaken for this purpose. This study is based on a real mission implemented by a medical international aid organization (MSF or Médecins Sans Frontières) in Cameroon during the recent Ce

A good reputation has become increasingly important for countries in order to be influential and attractive in a globalized world. This thesis explores the relationship between Norway's overarching reputation strategies, created to promote positive values, and a Norwegian refugee campaign, created to control the potential refugees’ opinions, and influencing them not to come to Norway. Through

A fire barriers are widely used in the industry as a passive fire protection system. Fire barriers are built according to specifications from manufacturer after the construction was tested in full scale furnace in accordance to the appropriate codes. Those tests are made private and the test results are not published apart from the failure/success of the tested sample. In order to accurately prote

The primary objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of the fire source elevation on the main fire parameters, by implementing laboratory experiments. In modern Fire Safety Engineering practice, it is often assumed that fire always commences at the floor level. However, it is not always the case. For instance, many residential fires were initiated by the ignition of ovens and stove

Abstract Several international instruments including CEDAW have recognized every human being to be free from any form of violence including being free from inhuman and degrading treatment. Equality of men and women is also recognized starting from the establishment of UN in 1945 under its charter. UDHR, ICCPR and ICSECR are the major international human right instruments which recognized the appl

The procedure within the administrative field of law is ruled by norms and principles. The framework governing differs from the procedural law in civil court. The grounds for administrative claims and appeal are established in 29 and 30 §§ FPL. There are also a number of other procedural laws with their own rules for appeals, to which FPL is subsidiary. Amongst the other laws is the law that regul

Environmental law is an area of law that has been under constant development in the European Union especially over the last decades. This has resulted in a variety of legally binding instruments. At the same time the European Union has also improved its fundamental rights regime with tools like the now binding Charter of Fundamental Rights. This Charter also contains an article on “Environmental P

Denna framställning redogör för beskattningen av derivatinstrument i inkomstslaget näringsverksamhet. I inkomstskattelagen delas derivatinstrument upp i lagertillgångar eller kapitaltillgångar baserat på vilken typ av aktiebolag som äger tillgången. I bolag som huvudsakligen bedriver handel med värdepapper anses sådana tillgångar vara lagertillgångar. I alla andra bolag är derivat kapitaltillgånThis thesis describes the taxation of derivatives in the business income tax act (“Inkomstslaget näringsverksamhet”). The Income Tax Act divides derivative instruments into inventory assets or capital assets based on the type of company that owns the asset. Assets held by companies engaged primarily in the trading of securities and derivatives are considered to be inventory assets. In other compa

I takt med att det globala klimatet förändras ökar viljan att utveckla och effektivisera energi utvinningen av förnybara energier så som vindkraft. Utveckling inom vindkraftsindustrin har under de senaste åren varit att bladlängden blir längre. Detta eftersom längden på bladen ökar effekten vindkraftverket kan producera. Problemet med den ökade vindlängden har varit dels varit att vikten av bladetThe usage of wind turbines during the latest years has grown substantially and are becoming an increasingly important source of renewable energy, as many countries are trying to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. In order to increase the effect of the wind turbines the length of the blades has been increased, which has also led to an increase of the cross-section dimensions. This has led to ma

This is a bachelor essay written as a part of a social studies education. The purpose of this essay was to examine school counselor’s opinions about the alcohol and drug preventive interventions in high school. The study was made through a quantitative method. To collect empirical data, a survey was sent out through e-mail to 70 school counselors in Skåne County, which is in the south of Sweden. T

Initiation of construction of apartments has increased by 26% from 2014 to 2015 in Sweden. This has meant more building permits to treat. Several tasks done by a building inspector has been identified through active observation of the building permit department in Helsingborg. Some of the tasks are review of cases, technical consultation, and visits at building places, final consultation, supervis

Redan de gamla grekerna var på jakt efter universums mest fundamentala beståndsdelar. Sedan slutet av 1800-talet har man bedrivit denna jakt med alltmer avancerade experiment. Idag har frukterna av detta sökande sammanfattats i en modell, Standard Modellen, som bland annat förklarar hur partiklar interagerar och får sin massa. Men det finns en rad iakttagelser som modellen inte kan förklara, som eIn this project, part of the 2015 ATLAS data from \sqrt{s} = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions was studied with the TAG Data (TADA) framework. The project also serves as a general introduction to the data analysis tools used in high-energy physics experiments. However, since the TADA data had not yet been reviewed by the ATLAS collaboration, it was omitted in this thesis. It was revealed that some o

Klimatanpassning av småskaligt jordbruk - en fallstudie i södra Indien En förutsättning för att vi i framtiden ska kunna föda jordens ökande befolkning är att vi anpassar vårt jordbruk till klimatförändringarna. På många platser i världen innebär detta att man måste möjliggöra odling i ett mycket torrare klimat. I vår studie undersöker vi vilka tekniker som finns för att underlätta detta och ger A major consequence of climate change will be changes in precipitation. Both amount and distribution will be affected and the changes will vary greatly between different places on the globe. In the inland parts of Pudukottai district, located in southern India, as well as in many other places, the result will likely be increased water scarcity and severe droughts, with dire consequences for food s

The European Union has a number of policies intended to stimulate growth and development of the less developed countries. This paper investigates EUs largest of this kind, the Generalized System of Preferences, and the effects of graduating from the scheme. When the development of a beneficiary country’s product sector is considered being competitive enough, the EU will no longer include the secto
