Indigenous peoples and natural environment in Brazil share a history of subjection to the economic interests of those in power, a condition that tragically resulted in the killing of thousands indigenous individuals and in unprecedent destruction of the Amazon during the military dictatorial regime (1964-1985). Now, as Jair Bolsonaro, who openly praises the dictatorship, is elected as president am
En kartläggning av brister inom byggsektorn har utförts av Boverket på uppdrag av regeringen där det har framkommit att det många gånger är bristen på kompetens, resurser och motivation som leder till brister i byggnationen. Boverket menar även att det krävs en välfungerande samverkan mellan aktörer för att få ett lyckat resultat. Där kommer arbetssättet samverkan in som bygger på att den samlade A study of defects in the building sector has been done by the administrative authority Boverket on behalf of the government.

Studien syftade till att undersöka om det gick att predicera en social maskning bland fotbollsspelare genom samvetsgrannhet, motivation, tid i laget och sportslig status. Social maskning är ett fenomen det forskats brett kring, men forskningen kring social maskning i fotbollssammanhang är begränsad. Begränsningen är särskilt stor på den nivå som undersöktes i denna studie, vilket är semi-professioThe aim of this study was to investigate to what extent it was possible to predict social loafing amongst football players through conscientiousness, motivation, time in team and sports-related status. An extensive amount of previous research has been conducted to investigate social loafing, but research regarding social loafing in the context of football is limited. The limitation is particularly
Despite being generally forbidden by the Jordanian Law of Personal Status, early marriage among Syrian refugees in the camp of Zaatari is still common, and according to some sources, its incidence has increased during the past years. This practice in Zaatari is regulated by the Syrian adat, that at the same time coexists with Jordanian law and decision norms advocated by International NGOs; giving
Till grund för denna studie ligger såväl den pågående livliga samhällsdebatten som den politiska debatt gällande hanteringen av IS-barnen med svensk anknytning . Efter kalifatets fall befinner sig barnen i flyktingläger i nordöstra Syrien. Det är oklart vem som bär ansvaret för dessa individer och regeringen har ett passivt förhållningssätt då de saknar lösning. Syftet med denna studie är att unde
Unaccompanied minors and young adults is a phenomenon that has been a part of Swedish society for a couple of years due to the refugee crisis from the year 2015. What is interesting to explore is how are they assimilating to their new surroundings, and how they are experiencing that process, what kind of impact has this unique situation had on their development. Another important aspect is explori
A rather hot subject in today’s society is global warming. Both technical progresses and global agreements between nations are much needed to counter this ever growing world problem. In this report a novel CO2-capture system, using the sterically hindered amine 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as an organic solvent, is investigated by process simulation in the sof
Hemoglobin (Hb) is a protein, composed of a heme prosthetic group with an iron atom in the center of the protoporphyrin ring and the iron is the main component that bind oxygen. Hb was first found in the red blood cells of vertebrates and after in prokaryotes, fungi, plants and animals. In plants, there are three main groups of Hb proteins which are symbiotic, non-symbiotic and truncated. Non-symb
As temperatures on Earth are rising, the Polar regions experience most rapid climatic changes. In the Swedish Scandes, the alpine tree line is considered as one of the most sensitive indicators of climate change. Therefore, the aim of this study is to study the most important abiotic factors driving position change of the alpine tree line. Through a literature study, these mechanisms were studied
Tidigare forskning visar att distansstudier vid högskolor och universitet har blivit allt vanligare. Den tidigare forskningen visar även att denna form av studier är vanligare hos individer från ett arbetarklasshem samt hos individer med föräldrar/vårdnadshavare som saknar högre studier. Syftet med denna studie var att utöka kunskapen kring distansstudier som en möjlighet till social rörlighet.
This research report was carried out in collaboration with Qlik AB and aimed to identify what aspects are needed from a software platform in order for developers to want to use them. It also aimed to identify how well the software platform Qlik Core had implemented these aspects. The research used online questionnaires, interviews and data analysis using Qlik Sense. The research compared how diffe
It has for long been known that dark matter must exist in our universe. Despite massive efforts to detect dark matter, its constituents remain a mystery. One strategy to unveil this mystery is to produce dark matter by colliding Standard Model particles. The most common signature of dark matter production is an excess of missing transverse energy, MET. Such an event would be very rare, which is wh
Elsparkcykel har blivit ett populärt fenomen i Sverige där flera företag erbjuder uthyrning av detta transportmedel. Vid studiens tidpunkt kunde konstateras att få hade studerat fenomenet och vad användarna ansåg vara av värde med elsparkcykeln, det fanns därmed ett kunskapsgap inom området. Syftet med denna studie blev därför att öka förståelsen för vad användarna ansåg vara av värde med användan
Eutrophication of aquatic environments is a worldwide problem which is usually caused by leakage of nutrients from human activities on land. The primary production rises greatly when concentrations of phosphor and nitrogen increases, which can result in disturbances in the ecosystems. The aim of this project was to analyse the content of total-phosphor and total-nitrogen in different flow rates in
This master thesis work concerns the effect of high-alumina additives on the selfdesication of concrete. The purpose of the work was to examine the possibilities to optimize the binder-content of concrete with regards to self-desiccation. Two highalumina additives have been examined. In the experiments 10% of the binder mass has been replaced with one of these additives. Commercially available ceme
This paper evaluates the profitability of adding green bonds to a portfolio consisting of stocks and conventional bonds. To determine the profitability, ten portfolios with varying weights on green bonds, conventional bonds and stocks, are constructed. The risk-adjusted returns on the portfolios are implemented in time series regressions of several asset pricing models, including the Capital Asset
The many advantageous abilities of plastics have made them omnipresent in today’s society. However, the low cost of production, light weight, durability and insolubility in water combined with inadequate waste handling have led to a vast and increasing accumulation of plastics in nature, approximated to be over 6 300 million tons (Geyer, Jambeck and Law, 2017, ‘Production, use, and fate of all pla
The objective of this thesis was to investigate how double skin facades (DSFs) meet daylight and energy requirements compared to single skin facades (SSFs), also considering the life cycle costing (LLC) of both solutions. A South facing, an unobstructed glazed office building in Sweden was used as a basic building object, where SSFs and DSFs were iteratively applied. A mid-level floor was chosen a
Digital media and social media are by now established platforms for daily online social interaction, expression and debate, also in the political field. They offer users a space to voice and exchange opinions, as well as a tool to organise political acts of protest or support around offline world events. And they are changing the game of politics in remarkable ways. Political institutions such as
