A broad survey of eating and food in 18th Century Sweden and in the taechings of Carl Linnaeus, who lectured and published extensively on these matters.

As design students who are about to graduate, we asked ourselves what it means to enter the professional life as a designer. We wanted to investigate how a young designer is able to make a living within the design profession. Additionally, we explored how we can include Northern European industrial manufacturing into our research and design process to learn more about mass production and its poten

The electricity sector is in the beginning of a large shift from centralized dispatchable production to distributed variable production. With this necessary change, new challenges arise. One crucial challenge is related to upholding the system balance in the power grid. In this master thesis, a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) has been implemented in an HVDC-system with large amounts of Wind P

Kina investerar stora mängder pengar i olika stater världen över. Mängden pengar de investerar i världens stater varierar dock i stor utsträckning. Vi vill i denna undersökning utröna vad det är som påverkar just denna variation i Kinas investeringar. Vi har valt att titta närmare på tre olika faktorer som vi tror påverkar Kinas investeringar; Naturresurser, Institutioner och korruption. Vi har

Degrowth scholars have been criticised for focusing too much on theory and macro-level of analysis, giving less attention to actual degrowth practices that happen at the local level. This thesis aims to make a contribution to this second field of degrowth research. Drawing on a practice theory approach, the objective of the study was to find whether degrowth practices and ideas have the potential

En av folkrättens mest grundläggande normer är det allmänna våldsförbudet som regleras i artikel 2(4) i FN-stadgan. Självförsvarsrätten utgör ett undantag till detta förbud vilket framgår av artikel 51 i FN-stadgan. En mycket omdebatterad fråga inom folkrätten är frågan huruvida det finns en rätt till självförsvar mot icke-statliga aktörer. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka denna fråga och bOne of the most fundamental rules of international law is the prohibition on the use of force contained in Article 2(4) of the UN Charter. The right to self-defence constitutes an exception to this prohibition and is contained in Article 51 of the UN Charter. A much-debated question within international law is the question whether there exists a right to self-defence against non-state actors. This

Enligt regelverken tillämpliga i icke-internationella väpnade konflikter, gemensamma artikeln 3 i Genèvekonventionerna samt tilläggsprotokoll 2, erbjuds skydd till civila som inte direkt deltar i strid. En gemensam definition av vad som anses vara direkt deltagande i strid existerar inte i tillämpliga traktat i den internationella humanitära rätten och inte heller förser nationell eller internatioThe regulations applicable in non-international armed conflicts, Common Article 3 to the Geneva Conventions I-IV and Additional Protocol II, offer protection to civilians who do not directly participate in the hostilities. There is no commonly accepted definition of direct participation in hostilities in treaty-based international humanitarian law, State practice or international jurisprudence.

This thesis explores the potential of mhealth methods, seeking to understand why mhealth would be advantageous to traditional methods as a means to provide information regarding sexual and reproductive health (SRH) for youth in Kenya and what prerequisites exists for it to be successfully adopted among the youth and why. It is investigated with a qualitative approach, with the use of expert interv

Idag omfattas de flesta arbetare av omställningsavtal men vetskapen om dessa, dess funktioner och betydelse för både arbetsgivare och arbetstagare är begränsad. Analysen som gjorts i uppsatsen, kommer fram till att omställningsavtalen underlättar för arbetsgivaren att göra val om vilka medarbetare som skall stanna vid en arbetsbrist. För arbetstagaren innebär det att det finns ett stöd men garanteToday, most workers are covered by adjustment agreements, but knowledge of these, their functions and their significance for both employers and employees is limited. The analysis made in the essay concludes that the adjustment agreements make it easier for the employer to make choices about which employees should stay in the event of a work shortage. For the employee, this means that there is supp

This paper empirically explores 10 years of play-by-play data from the seasons 2011-2021 from National Basketball Association with a comprehensive dataset with 2.7 million shots to test for a hot hand, (i.e., predictability in future outcomes) using three separate models. I find proof for its existence in all short-term categories using panel data as well as when adjusting for shot difficulty usin

Preschool teachers in Sweden are in a unique position to detect child abuse, which they subsequently are obliged to report to social services, according to Swedish law. However, previous research has shown significant underreporting amongst Swedish preschool teachers. Thus, the aim of this study was firstly to explore preschool teachers’ views on reporting child abuse and secondly to identify the

The use of solar cells as a solution for different energy harvesting applications has seen a significant growth during the last few years. With recent advances in the power conversion efficiency and manufacturability of organic photovoltaic cells these systems can be made even cheaper and more available for consumers, opening up new ways for solar technology to be implemented into products.
