Tourism is one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in the world. Due to that, many developing world’s regions with limited economic activity adapt tourism as a development strategy. The point of departure is a critical consideration why tourism, while producing such immense economic benefits, frequently also perpetuates already existing socio-economic, cultural, and environmental dysfunctions.
An increased proportion of trips made by bike is important part of a more sustainable transportation system. It provides benefits both at an individual and societal level – especially when replacing trips that would otherwise have been made by car. To get an understanding of what influences cycling, a statistical analysis is carried out that shows links between socio-economic factors, the physical
Public speaking is something that most people struggle with and the art of public speaking is something that is difficult to master. Traditional coaching usually consists of an expert teaching you a set of rules to consider and giving you feedback based on a presentation. Virtual reality (VR) based applications have been becoming more and more common over the last couple of years as an alternative

Metoo-upproren uppmärksammade problematiken kring sexuella trakasserier på arbetsplatsen runt om i världen, vilket fick oss att fundera kring arbetsgivarens roll och ansvar i dessa situationer. För att skapa en förståelse för arbetsgivarens förebyggande ansvar, vilka typer av handlingar arbetsgivaren ska förebygga samt vilka åtgärder som kan krävas från arbetsgivaren har vi analyserat lagar, praxiThe Metoo-movement highlighted the problems around sexual harassment in the workplace all around the world, which got us thinking about the employers roll and obligations in these situations.

Hur lantbruket kan bidra till omställningen mot en 100% förnybar elproduktion. Skiftet från fossil till förnybar energi är centralt i kampen mot klockan för att begränsa den globala uppvärmningen. Ett av målen för Sveriges långsiktiga energipolitik är att elproduktionen ska vara 100% förnybar år 2040. Lantbrukare har stora tak- och markarealer som skulle kunna nyttjas i högre grad än de gör idag As part of a sustainable energy system, Sweden has declared a target of 100 % renewable electricity production by 2040. Farmers have the potential to further this process and simultaneously contribute to a decentralized energy system. This study aims to identify drivers and barriers for the adoption of solar and wind energy production in the agricultural sector. Furthermore, it examines how policy
The age of digital and social media has completely changed how books are marketed, in which format they are consumed and where readers talk about them. Book adaptations are becoming a norm and thus the book market must adapt to the digitalisation as well as the consumers’ behaviours. The media-saturated world that we live in not only allows for more spaces for fans to meet and discuss the object o

My original plan was to study how the voluntary contribution is perceived.
Denna undersökning utreder den diskrepans som finns mellan 40 a § URL och 3 § 2 st LAU. De två paragraferna kan framkalla motsägelsefulla situationer för arbetsgivare och arbetstagare när både upphovsrätt och patenträtt kan ges ett datorprogram. Ämnet berör till stor del det immaterialrättsliga området, men ses utifrån ett arbetsrättsligt perspektiv. Denna typ av undersökning är intressant då de oThis study investigates the discrepancy between 40 a § URL and 3 § 2 st LAU. The two sections can produce contradictory situations for employers and employees when both copyright and patent law can be given a computer program. The subject is mainly linked to intellectual property law, but is viewed from a labor law perspective. This type of study is interesting, because the different fields of law
Background: As the conflict crisis in the Middle East and West Asia has elevated, simultaneously has Sweden seen a higher level of immigration. Among these groups of people are women who are both physically and emotionally affected. Integrating their old cultural values into the new cultural values often creates problems. However, at present there are not many studies showing how these women exper
“Det viktigaste kriteriet för en graf är egentligen inte hur fort vi kan se ett resultat; det är snarare om vi genom användandet av en graf kan se något som hade varit svårare att se annars eller som inte hade alls kunnat ses."

Finns det utrymme för kompakta bostäder i en hållbar stadsutveckling? Allt fler människor flyttar till städer. Det påverkar användningen av olika naturresurser men ökar också konkurrensen om mark – en resurs som inte är oändlig – då fler bosätter sig inom städernas begränsade områden. Trots att den genomsnittliga familjen minskat i storlek har bostäder å andra sidan blivit allt större. För att The Earth’s population is steadily increasing and there is a fast growing urbanization as people move from rural areas to cities. Lack of housing is a big issue in many cities. At the same time, dwellings are growing in size demanding more land and natural resources, a development which is not sustainable in the long run. That is problematic as it occupies land and requires natural resources, whic

A software system composed of applications running on embedded devices could be hard to monitor and debug due to the limited possibilities to extract information about the complex process interactions. Logging and monitoring the systems behavior help in getting an insight of the system status. The information gathered can be used for improving the system and helping developers to understand what c

I have analyzed my empiric material through the theoretical framework of stigma and normality, but also through a cultural perspective. My focus was to discover how disabled people are viewed in Georgia, as well as how they view t
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNR) are key enzymes for transformation of RNA building blocks (NTPs) to DNA building blocks (dNTPs), an essential step in biological systems. RNRs are known to be the first enzymes identified with free radical chemistry and play an important role in having a tight control over dNTP levels, as these DNA building blocks are needed for vital cellular processes such as cell
