Concerns are growing within the field of development as global democracy rates decline. As a solution to how to rebuild democratic systems is currently unclear, this thesis looks at the case of Colombia and the national protests (colloquially referred to as El Paro) that began in April 2021. The nation, suffering from increasing political polarisation, rising poverty rates and crippling structural
Title: Training Organisational Soldiers: Leadership and Control in Trainee Programs Authors: Anna Piela and Annika Theiss Supervisor: Jens Rennstam Submission Date: May 22, 2015 Purpose: The purpose of our research is to provide a more critical perspective on leadership and leadership development within the context of trainee programs. Therefore we aim to understand how leadership is constructed i
Globally, aviation biofuel (biojet) technology has reached a degree of progress that allows immediate substitution of conventional fossil fuel in commercial air travel. However,numerous factors constitute an impediment to its large-scale use and deployment: a diagnostic analysis identifying key obstacles to biojet development is needed. For this reason, an examination of actors, institutions and a
Early vision is the process occurring before any semantic interpretation of an image takes place. Motion estimation, object segmentation and detection are all parts of early vision, but recognition is not. Many of these tasks are formulated as optimization problems and one of the key factors for the success of recent methods is that they seek to compute globally optimal solutions. This thesis is c
Despite increased awareness of the urgency to respond to climate change and to promote sustainable development, there are few powerful initiatives that are decisively shifting urban development in a sustainable, resilient and low-carbon direction. This Special Volume of the Journal of Cleaner Production explores sustainable urban transformation focusing on structural transformation processes – mul
Every year two billion tons of MSW are produced globally. Due to the impact of solid waste and population growth, it is necessary to develop an integrated solid waste management plan. Such a plan, holistic in scope, would aim to minimize the negative impact of this material in the environment while being economically viable. The designation and terming of any one mode of waste treatment as superio
Aims. The present study was conducted to determine the optical extinction curve for Cerro Paranal under typical clear-sky observing conditions, with the purpose of providing the community with a function to be used to correct the observed spectra, with an accuracy of 0.01 mag airmass(-1). Additionally, this work was meant to analyze the variability of the various components, to derive the main atm
This work investigates the prospective impacts of climate change on wind-driven rain (WDR) and walls through simulating the hygrothermal performance of rain screen of common vertical wall constructions for the climatic conditions of Gothenburg in Sweden. While a substantial amount of work has been done on the impact of climate change on the thermal performance of buildings, this paper studies its
Today’s climate crisis entails a need to change our ways of living, where an important aspect of meeting climate goals is a switch to renewable energy production. This bachelor thesis aims to explore the renewable energy transition, through a qualitative case study of a Swedish municipality in which southern Sweden’s biggest wind power park is being built. The research questions are on which geogr
Demand for the usable water is accumulating globally in parallel with the population growth and the industrial revolution. Nevertheless, availability and accessibility of the usable water is progressively subsiding due to many environmental and socio-economic reasons. This discrepancy can lead the world to a water crisis unless it takes necessary actions to enhance the sustainable use of existing
As a result of globalization and postmodern confusion, simple place-based identities may be becoming obsolete. Malmö Finns, on the other hand, are part of a thousand-year-old tradition of migration from Finland to Sweden and a long history of in-betweenness. Inspired by phenomenological approaches to geography, this thesis explores the mental landscapes of Malmö Finns and aims to understand how th
In 2014, Caribbean countries declared to claim reparations for slavery from former colonising states. A Reparative Justice Framework covering ten points of action formulated reparations as a regional development strategy, widening stakeholders to include development actors and focalising beneciaries to those disproportionally suering from post-slavery legacies. Jamaica is signatory to the claim, a
Climate changes have a large impact on precipitation patterns and precipitation variability change. With this in mind, precipitation over Greenland is studied. This is done for present day precipitation model data from 1991-2010 compared to future model simulations of precipitation for 2081-2100. Furthermore, precipitation drives Surface Mass Balance (SMB), which is the sum of accumulation and the
Power and control over global food production and distribution is becoming increasingly concentrated in a small number of multinational corporations. Corporately produced food is not principally produced to be eaten, but to be sold in order to make financial gain as with any other commodity. This endless pursuit of profit is having devastating social and ecological consequences the world over. Gro
The usage of foreign distributors on international markets has increased steadily over the past 30 years. Manufacturers who operate in a business-to-business environment now see the benefits by using this form of arrangement. At the same time the process of building a strong brand is gaining more attention in industrial markets, and has proven to be an effective way to reduce barriers to conclude
