För att begränsa den globala uppvärmningen krävs en omställning mot en klimatmässigt hållbar livsmedelsförsörjning. Konsumtionen av kött och mejeriprodukter, som idag står för en stor andel av matens klimatpåverkan, behöver minska till förmån för mer resurseffektiva vegetabiliska livsmedel. För att kunna komplettera eller ersätta animaliska näringskällor berikas många växtbaserade produkter med inIn order to mitigate the global warming, a transition towards a sustainable diet is required. Such a transition includes reduced consumption of meat and dairy products, by substituting these with more resource efficient vegetable-based products. In order to meet the nutrient content of animal foods, vegan products are often supplemented with artificial vitamins and minerals. Few studies have inves

This thesis investigates the role of the Human Resource (HR) departments in the success or failure of the Merger or Acquisition (M&A) process. Through M&As, companies aim to gain strategic advantages by obtaining another company’s core competences, buying their biggest competitor or building a stronger organization by merging with another. In contrast of the high quantity of M&As condu

Bakgrund: Till följd av att den globala konkurrensen tilltar, ökar komplexiteten, flexibiliteten och produktvariationen inom produktion. Detta leder till att förbättringsprojekt blir allt svårare att genomföra. Händelsestyrd simulering har i litteraturen blivit identifierat som ett verktyg med förmågan att lösa dessa utmaningar, men till följd av att komplexiteten i en produktion ökar, växer ocksåBackground: Following a growing global competition, complexity, flexibility and product variability of manufacturing systems are increasing. This has led to improvement projects becoming more difficult to carry out. Discrete event simulation (DES) has in literature been identified as having the capability to solve these challenges, but as complexity of a manufacturing system increases so does also

Att elektroner kretsar runt atomkärnan i bestämda banor vet kanske de flesta nuförtiden - men hur hamnar de där? Hur rör de sig mellan banorna? När atomer förs samman i molekyler, vad händer med elektronerna då? Tidigare så har fysiker och kemister nödgats se elektroner med statistiska glasögon; de rör sig så snabbt över så korta avstånd att inga instrument hann med att fånga deras rörelser. DetDemands are specified for an interferometer setup capable of supporting attosecond resolution pump-probe experiments, as well as molecular alignment experiments. A design for two interferometers fulfilling these demands is presented. As the presented setup relies on annular beams for discrimination, high-order harmonic generation is attempted using annular beams. The success of these experiments

This study looks at the politics of increasing the number of female peacekeepers in international peace operations. Through in-depth, semi structured interviews with women police officers from Bangladesh who have served as part of the United Nations Police, the study aims to explore their gendered experience in peace operations. Aimed as an exploratory case study, this research builds on previous

Det tilltagande inslaget av ett cyberelement i samhället, i såväl civila som militära kontexter, har lett till en ökande förekomst av cyberoperationer, utförda av individer, grupper eller stater; antingen direkt eller indirekt. Den mellanstatliga rätten till självförsvar utgör ett undantag till stadgans våldsförbud och förutsätter, i såväl art. 51 FN-stadgan som internationell sedvanerätt, ett väpThe increasing presence of a cyber element in our society, in civilian as well as in military contexts, has led to an increased amount of cyber operations, carried out by individuals, groups or states; either directly or indirectly. The right to self-defense between states is an exception to the Charter's prohibition of violence and presupposes, in both Article 51 of the UN Charter and customa

Utsläppskraven för avloppsreningsverk (ARV) i Sverige uppdateras regelbundet, och samtidigt ökar även kraven på energieffektivitet. Vid Klagshamns avloppsreningsverk i södra Malmö har den inkommande kvävebelastningen ökat under en lång tid, och för att minska denna planeras separat rejektvattenbehandling med en anammoxprocess att implementeras på verket. VA SYD vill därför undersöka om processändr

In light of what have become known as the European migration crisis, this thesis examines the legality of one of EU’s burden-sharing responses to this perceived threat – the EU/Turkey deal on March 18 2016. For many asylum seekers, the dream of a safe haven in the EU goes through Turkey to the Greek islands, leading to a significant rise in the number of would-be asylum seekers in the EU over the

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka kollisionen som kan uppstå mellan å ena sidan människors vilja att manifestera sin religion och hälso- och sjukvårdshänsyn å andra sidan. Med anledning av två fall som nyligen aktualiserats i Sverige undersöker jag huruvida smittskyddsregler i vården kan grunda begränsning av religionsfriheten. Analysen görs utifrån ett mänskliga rättigheter- och diskrimThe aim of this essay is to investigate the conflicting interests that can arise between religious people’s will to manifest their religion on one hand and healthcare related issues on the other hand. Based upon two recent cases in Sweden I’m trying to distinguish whether hygiene regulations in healthcare are enough to limit the freedom of religion. The analysis is done from a human rights and dis

The industrial food production system have given rise to tens of thousands of local, national and international social movements concerned with food and agriculture, reacting to the perceived social and environmental failures of the industrial food system. One of the directions inside these movements is the internationally based “local food” movement. The ”local food” movement promotes small-scal

This bachelor thesis, ”You don’t bite the hand that feeds you” – A discourse analytical study of fashion journalism's limitations and consequences, studies runway reviews in order to identify the different uses of discoursive language within the so-called ’glossy’ fashion journalism. Through a qualitative discourse analytical method and approach, runway reviews from Vogue Runway have been subj

The purpose of this thesis is to explore how the consequences of Russias food embargo on the EU, USA, Canada, Australia and Norway from 2014 is depicted in the government owned newpaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta. This is done by means of a qualitative textual analysis according to professors Lennart Hellspong and Per Ledin, complemented by Russian linguistic research. The analysis is executed with a focu

This thesis constitutes an attempt to explore the characteristics of human resilience in Israeli society. The literature review shows that state institutions might not take into consideration resilience as a ‘natural’ resource developed by communities and implement programs to build or frame and “nationalize” resilience from outside. For this reason, an account on what can be termed “natural” resi

How can a European Union citizen have a say in Brussels? The European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) is a unique participatory democracy tool for citizens. A politically sensitive revision is currently discussed – how much should the citizens directly be involved? One of the actors involved is the European Parliament (EP). The EP has been neglected in research about the ECI, despite being one of the c

Vibrations originating from constructional work can affect the nearby soil and structures. Depending on the properties of the vibrations, these can result in settlements in the soil and damages to existing structures. Along with blasting, impact pile driving is one of the greatest sources of vibrations on a construction site. When installing a concrete pile with an impact hammer, a weight is drop

There are countless amount of questions about online learning today, this dissertation meant to extensively address two of them: the importance of control over learning pace and synchronous social learning – in other words – interactivity. Placing online learning in the context of the current participatory media landscape serves with understanding why people engage and participate and how these mo
