Recognising the critical role of forests in addressing Climate Change, a proposal being negotiated under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the “Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation” mechanism, or REDD+. REDD+ aims to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by providing economic incentives to developing countries and local forest inhabitants to
Denna uppsats beskriver nödvärnsrätten såsom den är utformad i svensk rätt. Genom en rättsdogmatisk metod redogörs för lagtext, praxis, förarbeten och doktrin på området, det vill säga de i rättskälleläran utpekade rättskallorna. Nödvärnsrätten regleras i 24 kap 1 § BrB och utmärks av att någon utsätts för ett brottsligt angrepp och ska avvärja detta, och därmed kommer den handling som företas iThis paper describes the Swedish law regarding the right of self-defense. The right of self-defense is the right for civilians acting on their own behalf to defend themselves when a violent criminal attack occurs. Using a legal dogmatic method, it intends to describe the rights and possibilities being approved to a civilian who uses his right of self-defense when being attacked. The paper will des
The current status of overexploited fish stocks worldwide and increasing stakeholder expectations that retailers should responsibly source products have led to an increasing number of food retailers committing to sell sustainable seafood. Yet, the complexity and variety of seafood supply chains and the challenge inherent in the verification of sustainability qualities suggest that the implementati
The purpose of the master thesis has been to investigate the professional experiences of collaboration within the framework of the agreement on cooperation for greater security in the city of Landskrona and further investigate the macro-control and prospective norm formation processes between the police and city. Of the mission statement it is clear that the focus should be on processes and not on
Electronic waste (e-waste) in modern society is a growing issue that creates risks by degrading natural resources, through the production of the electronic devices in question, but also at a later end-of-life stage when recycled irresponsibly; by harming individuals directly – those who partake in the recycling, but also indirectly when deadly toxins from recycling flow into water and soil sources
This is a thesis situated in a context of feminist debates on gender, class, resistance and social change as well as the contemporary Swedish feminist movement and debate. The aim of this thesis is to discuss questions of gender/sex and class in relation to resistance and social change. Based on theories about public intellectuals and social change I have conducted in-depth interviews with six fem
Determining the position of mobile devices is an important business and research area due to the many applications it enables. Outdoors, positioning is often solved by the Global Positioning System (GPS). Indoors however, the signals received from GPS satellites are too weak to provide meaningful position estimates. Therefore, indoor positioning must be done using other techniques, such as trilate
In response to stakeholder expectations, and in line with the life cycle idea, a growing number of corporations are working to influence its suppliers for improved environmental and social performance. The number and diversity of the actors and aspects to consider in global supply chains contributes to the complexity of the task. Most actively engaging in supply chain improvements are companies wi
Genus-specific, sRNA discovery in marine Synechococcus The most ubiquitously distributed, picocyanobacteria, Synechococcus significantly contribute to global, oceanic primary productivity and are pivotal players in biogeochemical cycling. Because of the distribution and significant contribution of picocyanobacterial to global processes, there have been many studies on gene expression and their tr
Management of intermittent renewable energy sources (RES) such as wind and solar is a significant issue for countries with interconnected electricity markets. Increasing amounts of electricity from intermittent RES increases the variability of electricity supply, causing electricity prices to become highly sensitive weather conditions. Unpredictable prices have a negative effect on new infrastruct
The present thesis covers a research in the area of environment and human rights. In particular, this research is carried out through the comparative study and analyse of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice connected to environmental harm and its correlation to human rights law. The thesis will approach the case law related to certain categories of

Säljaren vill med sin information till köparen få målbolaget att framstå som så attraktivt som möjligt, han vill med andra ord göra en så god affär som möjligt inom de ramar som lagen ställer upp. Huvudfrågan som uppsatsen sökerThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate and analyze vendor's liability for disclosure of information to potential purchasers of unlisted shares. The seller wants the target company to appear as attractive as possible; in other words he wants to make the most favorable deal possible within the limits of the law. The main question in this thesis is to analyze what information and circumstan
One of the interim targets in the Swedish national Good Built Environment objective states that biological treatment of source separated food waste should be a priority. The goal of biologically treating 35 percent of all municipal food waste in 2010 was not achieved, and a proposed target for 2015 raises the bar even further (40 percent). The way the proposed milestone target is phrased excludes
Developing business models in the area of electromobility is one of the primary challenges in order to successfully electrify road transport. As any technology the electric vehicle (EV) or the charging infrastructure that fuels it will not have any value unless one finds ways to commercialise those technologies. This thesis investigates the early stages of business model development within electro
Uppsatsen behandlar hur handläggare inom fyra olika myndigheter klarar av sin jobbiga arbetssituation. Avsikten med studien är att försöka ta reda på vilka sociala strategier handläggarna måste utveckla för att klara av sin arbetsdag samt var de hittar motivation för att kunna utföra sina arbetsuppgifter. En kvalitativ metod i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer används, då jag vill komma åt han
It is widely acknowledged that the diffusion of bioenergy technologies does not depend on technological advances and favorable economic conditions alone. A good understanding and a strong backing of bioenergy by the general public is also essential. Thus, a better understanding of public perceptions and acceptance of bioenergy is a crucial factor to improve conditions for bioenergy policies and ma
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) aims to develop end-of-life product systems and reduce environmental impacts of product across entire life cycle. The empirical study of how EPR programmes have influenced design change is still few especially for complex and durable products such as EEE. Japan introduced EPR programmes in 2001 for four large home appliances (TV sets, air conditioners, refrig
Any attempt to understand the developmental and democratic predicament of Nigeria should take into consideration the problem of endemic corruption in the country. Political and bureaucratic corruption is so widespread that it has engulfed the Nigerian political system at all levels of government. However, it will be wrong and indeed unfair to assume that successive governments have done nothing ab
This essay investigates economic platforms, a subject that has received much attention in recent years. Platforms are firms or organizations which connect two parts, usually a seller and a buyer. Users sign up and pay for the service offered by the platform not because the platform itself is valuable but because of the information and connections it provides. Several theories about platform optima
The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate how the concept of the ideal victim of crime contributes to re-victimize significant populations exploited by human traffickers. The argument is that seeing women trafficked in the sex industry as the norm together with a focus only on “women and children” as victims/survivors contribute to further hide-and therefore re-victimize-men and young boys. The Peo
