In the face of climate change wind energy plays an increasing role in Norway. The construction of new wind farms causes opposition and conflicts with, among others, Sámi reindeer herders who are concerned about losing their pastures. By using Schlosberg’s (2004) environmental justice framework, I explore the justice implications of wind energy with regard to Sámi reindeer husbandry in the case of

In today’s modern city planning are the so-called detailed development plans used for deciding how a specific area is supposed to be used and for what purpose. A problem which is occurring from time to time, is that some detailed development plans are not coming up as it was thought they would. Often it is seen that areas have more dwelling, parking space and in some cases big super markets than w

Det finns idag många olika lösningar för att mäta fluidflöden. För att uppnå hög precision i mätningarna blir sensorernas tillverkningskostnad ofta hög och deras principer är generellt baserade på avancerad teori. I det här examensarbetet undersöks en ny mätprincip, baserad på konceptet för en vanlig rotameter. Den nya mätprincipen använder en solenoid för att skapa ett magnetiskt fält som håller Fluid flow measurement is a task for which many different solutions exist. For high precision sensors the production cost is high and measurement principle is generally based on advanced theory. In this thesis a new principle of fluid flow measurement, based on the concept of a conventional rotameter, is investigated. The new principle uses a solenoid to create a magnetic field to maintain a float

Multipla stressfaktorer och deras inverkan på jordens biologiska mångfald under Kenozoikum Multipla stressfaktorer, inkluderat faktorer med anknytning till klimatförändringar, har länge påvisats ha stark inverkan på biologisk mångfald över tid. För att undersöka möjligheten att förutspå potentiella framtida effekter på den globala mångfalden genomfördes därför en studie med huvudsakligt fokus på As multistressors have been shown to have significant effects on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, the following study was made with the purpose of examining how a number of stressors specifically connected to climate change may have varied during the latest 65,5 million years and whether it is possible to predict potential effects on global biodiversity in the future. The analyses focused o

Denna studie syftar till att fördjupa kunskapen om sångpedagogers strategier kring flickors målbrottsutveckling.
