Educational systems constantly shape and rebuild our lives. Faced with the urgency of climate change, the development of knowledge by students about the climate crisis and their own role in global systems is critically important to prepare them for their future lives as global citizens and decision makers. This calls for educational systems to take a more prominent position in educating educators
Buildings are a are a major consumer of energy in urban areas. The use of solar energy in buildings can help reduce CO2 emitting energy consumption in these urban areas. One way to use solar energy is through passive solar energy systems. Passive solar energy systems allow a building to use daylight as an energy source. The use of daylight as passive solar energy in Sweden could reduce the energy
Energy for heating and cooling purposes is essential for many industrial processes, as well as something we all rely on to provide us with warm water and a pleasant indoor climate. As much as half of all energy consumed in the EU is used for heating and cooling [1]. District heating and cooling grids are common ways in which the energy is delivered and distributed, and due to the large quantities
The role of bridges in the transportation network has become increasingly important as they ensure the smooth and safe passage of people and goods across rivers and other bodies of water. Flowing water impacts bridges over rivers primarily in two ways: (1) Hydrodynamic forces that directly impact the structure and (2) scouring at the pier and abutment, including contraction scour. The design princ
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Södra Cell Mörrum, SCM, could invest in a steam turbine to produce profitable electricity from excess steam, which is currently being released into the atmosphere. Furthermore, this study investigated the potential side effects from this installation and suggests solutions. This study was conducted in two phases: collecting data which was then s
Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera förutsättningarna för att förbjuda förflyttningar av asylsökande inom det gällande Dublinsystemet, samt hur kompatibelt den europeiska kommissionens förslag för en Dublin IV Förordning är med mänskliga rättigheter. Dublinsystemet har till syfte att fördela skyldigheten att hantera asylansökningar mellan medlemsstaterna inom EU till en ansvarig medlemsstat. This thesis aims to analyse the prohibitions of transfers of asylum seekers in the Dublin System, and how compatible the Commission’s Proposal for a Dublin IV Regulation is with human rights law. The Dublin System is meant to allocate responsibility between Member States regarding asylum applications. After the responsible Member State has been decided according to certain criteria, the asylum see

Human-induced climate change has emerged as one of the greatest sustainability challenges of our time, with significant risks for human health, livelihoods and security. However, technological solutions to phase out the use of fossil fuels in industrialized countries are politically contested. Their adoption depends on disrupting the institutions and behaviours that perpetuate the dependence on fo
The role, functions, and mechanisms of post-incident and post-accident learning within organizations has been widely studied in various industries. With the increasing role software plays in society, large-scale software development and operations practices and organizations are having a larger impact on day-to-day life; despite this, organizational learning has not been widely examined within thi
Goals of this thesis is to investigate how the Foundry Chinese Managers perceive leadership, and how they construct their leadership skills in their daily working environment in that specific foundry context and whether the Chinese leadership is still following the traditional Chinese Culture or they have their own ways to lead. We are using a qualitative/inductive method. We are using already exi
The purpose is to investigate whether the correlation between equity returns and changes in CDS spreads is stronger for sub-investment grade companies than for investment grade companies in the European iTraxx indices.
Global warming has both short and long term effects on seasonal phenological cycles of vegetation. Phenology parameters of vegetation such as start, end, length and amplitude of season can describe life cycle events of vegetation. In this thesis, long-term dataset of GIMMS NDVI time series from 1983 to 2005 was used to extract and analyze vegetation phenology over Sahelian to equatorial areas and
This is a fieldwork following the daily life during two months of two divorced women in the village Bwiam, Gambia. It is a study focusing on females in a patriarchal society and how they are bound by the social structures to be married, often into polygamous households, how they farm the land by traditional methods, learnt over generations, to support their families and how they sell their produce
This paper departs from an interest which has grown exponentially since the beginning of the 2000s’ for cooperation between donor governments and diasporas in development initiatives directed at the diasporas’ country of origin. It notices a discrepancy between identified potential and observed practical results. In an attempt to understand this discrepancy, the thesis seeks to explore the seldom
Volunteer tourism (VT) has over the past decades rapidly increased and many young individuals travel to the Global South with intentions to develop communities and travel. Critique has however indicated that unskilled young individuals do not contribute to the development of the community, rather the opposite. This study examines how students of development studies at Lund University reflect back
Abstract Almost nothing is known about the Tibetan wolf (Canis lupus chanco) apart from opportunistic anecdotes, notes in journals and conflict with humans. Taxonomic status of this canine has not been investigated so far for Nepal's wild population to state it as Tibetan wolf or Himalayan wolf. Furthermore, persecution of the wolf has been a major issue in the Himalayan region without any det
