Starting from the human and societal need to safeguard cultural heritage (CH) in order to connect to past generations’ knowledge and human experience, digital preservation (DP) is a common practice undertaken by cultural heritage organisations (CHOs). DP is heavily relying on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) as the fundamental enabling equipment. However, ICT is coming wit

To increase the country’s generation capacity and simultaneously combat the effects of climate change, the government aims to produce 30% of its electricity from renewables by 2030. It is ho
This thesis will contribute to the transition the development sector presently sees itself confronted with. This transition involves the pivoting from project-based development endeavors, whereby frameworks and targets defined in the Global North play a dominant role in defining the overall development trajectory. It will engage with the question how development organizations can effectively struc
Through the national innovation program Viable Cities, the City of Malmö and the City of Lund in the Region Skåne of southern Sweden have recently undertaken a mission to become climate-neutral by 2030, requiring the commitment and participation of the entire local, urban system in the pursuit and uptake of bottom-up, radical solutions.

Plastics are amazing materials with outstanding properties that make them very useful and cheap for a wide range of uses. However, their pollution to the environment has become one of the main problems to solve in this century. In this Master Thesis biocomposites from Biofiber Tech are studied. This material is a composite material formed by treated wood fibers and a polymeric matrix. The influen
Alt-Lit is a literary movement which first sprung up in The U.S in the middle of the first decade of the second millennia. Vaguely defined and led by aspiring writers belonging to the Y-Generation, also known as millennials, its presence and influence has become increasingly apparent. These are the first writers to use the internet, not only as a platform, but as an aesthetic and linguistic inspir
During excavations, steel sheet piles are often installed through vibratory driving, to establish a retaining wall that resists soil instability and ground water leakage. The method of vibratory driving is that the sheet pile is driven into the soil with a vertical vibratory motion. This is especially effective in soft soils. In parts of Sweden, however, the most common type of soil is the glacial
In this paper, climate peace-related intervention by the United Nations Country Team in South Sudan is investigated. The case is approached through a decolonised intervention perspective based on Meera Sabaratnam’s theory in “Decolonized Intervention: International Statebuilding in Mozambique”. The reflexive interpretation method described by Alvesson and Sköldberg is used to approach the question

Inne i Public Sphere efterlyser författare som Jürgen Habermas och James Fischkin en så kallad deliberativ debatt, en samhällsdebatt präglad av deltagande, förståelse och konstruktivitet. Befintlig forskning placerar hitills ett
