Since the Financial and Eurozone crisis that erupted in 2009/2010, Germany has seen the rise of a new populist radical right party; the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). In the years after its establishment in 2013, this party has experienced many electoral successes and entered not only thirteen federal state parliaments, but also the European Parliament in 2014. This development is atypical for

This thesis investigates the relationship between the human being and nature and how it emerges through the relationship between birdwatcher and bird. The aim is to study a potential contradiction in bird watching, between perceptual proximity and detached objectification that potentially inheres in the activity. Six birdwatchers are interviewed about their experiences of watching birds, in terms

A method for investigating how the ocean surface aects the accuracy of Airborne Lidar Bathymetry surveys, (ALB), due to environmental conditions, was developed. Computer graphic techniques were examined and utilized for construction of realistic ocean surfaces. Wave spectrum models available in the literature describing the wave number composition of ocean surfaces were used in order to be able to

Skadedjursbekämpande insekter på våra åkrar, påverkas de av genmodifierade grödor? Ända sedan människan började odla grödor så har man sökt att förädla dem för att optimera dem för våra behov. Under 1990-talet öppnades nya dörrar inom förädlingsindustrin med introduktionen av genmodifiering. Genom genmodifiering kan man ge grödor egenskaper från andra organismer, till exempel bakterier, som de aldGenetically modified plants (GM-plants) have been controversial since they began being cultivated, especially within the European Union (EU). It is not well known how their unique properties affect both humans’ health and natural ecosystems and therefore lawmaking in EU has been very restrictive around cultivation of the plants. The AMIGA-project (Assessing and Monitoring the Impacts of Geneticall

Idag är Sverige ett av världens mest jämställda länder men trots det behöver man inte spola tillbaka tiden särskilt långt för att upptäcka ett Sverige där kvinnor knappt hade några juridiska rättigheter alls. I denna rättshistoriska uppsats har syftet varit att dels undersöka hur svenska kvinnors rättsliga ställning utvecklats från 1800-talets mitt fram till 1920-talet, men även utreda de bakoml

I rättsväsendet är djur att betrakta som saker och egendom. Detta medför att djur, när de är brottsoffer, inte får samma skydd som människor i samma situation. Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka djurskyddet för häst i Sverige samt den samhälleliga synen på hästen för att se hur väl dessa överensstämmer med det faktum att hästen är att betrakta som en sak i vårt rättssystem. DjurplågIn our judicial system animals are accounted as objects and property. This results in that animals, when victims of crime, do not get the same protection as humans in the same position. The purpose of this essay is to examine the animal protection for horses in Sweden and the view our community has on horses to see how this conforms to the fact that horses are accounted as objects in our judicial

Denna rapport skapades inom kursen VBRN70 Brandteknisk Riskvärdering vid Lunds universitet. Syftet med rapporten är att utvärdera brandsäkerheten och utrymningssäkerheten på Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern i Stockholm, Sverige. Fokus för utvärderingen var människors säkerhet, med delvis fokus på att byggnaden i sig förblir intakt. Byggnaden är kulturminnesmärkt och bör därför skyddas i större utsträckThis report was created within the course VBRN70 Brandteknisk Riskvärdering at Lund University. The purpose of the report is to evaluate the fire and evacuation safety of Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern in Stockholm, Sweden. The focus of the evaluation was human safety, with partial focus on the building itself remaining intact. The building is marked as a cultural heritage and should therefore be pro

Denna studie undersöker och besvarar huruvida det är mer värt ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv att renovera ett 50-talshus i originalskick än att bygga ett nytt hus när samma krav på inomhusmiljö ställs. Kraven ställs främst på luftkvalitén, men gäller även värmedistribution och levnadssätt. För att få en generell bild och ett resultat som kan användas i övergripande sammanhang har två alternativa utfThis study examines and answers whether it is more profitable from a financial point of view to renovate a 1950s house in its original condition than to build a new house when the same requirements are made regarding the indoor environment. The demands are primarily set on the air quality, but they also apply to heat distribution and lifestyle/usage. In order to get the big picture and a result wh

Skönsbeskattning är en metod som Skatteverket använder när en dekla-ration är så bristfällig att skatten inte kan beräknas på ett tillförlitligt sätt, eller om deklarationen helt saknas. Beskattningen kan ske både vid ordinarie förfa-rande och genom efterbeskattning. Tidigare har Skatteverket burit bevisbördan för att förutsättningarna för skönsbeskattning föreligger, det vill säga att den skattskDiscretionary taxation is a method used by the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) when a tax return is so deficient that the tax cannot be reliably calculated, or when the return is completely missing. Taxation can occur both during the ordinary procedure and through reassessment. Previously, the Swedish Tax Agency bore the burden of proof to show that the conditions for discretionary taxation were

Bangladesh faces recurrent and severe flooding due to its low-lying topography and intense monsoon climate, making it one of the most flood-prone countries in the world. These floods pose significant threats to human life, infrastructure, and economic stability which is projected to intensify under future climate change scenarios. This thesis presents a flood susceptibility assessment using the An

Samhällets ökade miljömedvetenhet kopplas ofta i byggbranschen till energieffektivitet. För en större skillnad i energianvändning kopplade till bostäder behöver mer fokus ligga på de redan existerade bostäderna och inte bara nyproduktion. En byggnads energianvändning innefattar bland annat brukarvanor. Det saknas objektiva mätningar gällande brukares vädringsvanor och hur de påverkar energianvändnSociety's increased environmental awareness is often linked in the construction industry to energy efficiency. A building's energy use includes, among other things, user habits. There’s a lack of objective measurement regarding users' ventilation habits and how they affect energy use. The purpose of this report is to find out how users in exhaust-ventilated apartment building from the

Streaming video over the internet can face issues when met with poor and varying network conditions, which can be especially noticeable when streaming live video such as security footage or video calling. To handle this, there exists congestion control algorithms that monitor network conditions based on feedback from the receiver and adapt the video output. This thesis aims to implement and compar

I en tid med återuppbyggnad av svenskt totalförsvar efterlyser olika aktörer ytterligare kunskap om civilsamhällets frivillighet. Den tidigare forskningen om frivillighet inom det här området saknar ett djupare individperspektiv kring hur frivillighet upplevs av den civila frivilliga, i förhållande till plikt, ansvar och krav. Syftet med denna fallstudie är därför att med kulturanalys fördjupa kunIn a time of reconstruction of the Swedish total defence various actors seek more knowledge about volunteering within the civil society. Previous research on volunteering in this area lack deeper micro perspectives on civil experiences of volunteering in relation to duty, responsibility and demands. Therefore, the purpose of this case study has been to deepen the cultural analytical knowledge of t

The decision by the European Union to enforce the Temporary Protection Directive to respond to the inflow of Ukrainian displaced people in member states has resulted in a peculiar governance system that sets Ukrainian displaced people as an exceptional category of vulnerable migrants. Their stay is temporary, but as it is impossible to predict a date for Ukraine to be deemed a safe country again,

The purpose of this thesis was to study the correspondence of occupant load factors determined by the guidance document of Finnish National Building code and the real occupant loads measured from shopping malls. The correspondence of occupant load factors determined according to Finnish National Building Code were compared with the occupant load factors determined in other national and internat

In this paper, we explore the practices independent artists use on social media. We address topics such as the democratization of the music industry and marketing on social media platforms. To gain a comprehensive understanding of these practices, we interviewed four independent artists. We also analyzed the artist's Instagram accounts using a lurking approach. Our focus will not lie on the co

Single chains of conjugated polymers e.g. MEH-PPV (poly(2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) have become interesting objects for single molecule spectroscopy (SMS) studies. However, most of the experiments so far were performed without full awareness of the isolation status of the polymer chains in host matrices. We used steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence methods and 2D p

Anthracyclines and taxanes are active cytotoxic drugs in the treatment of early metastatic breast cancer. It is yet unclear whether addition of capecitabine to the combination of these drugs improves the treatment outcome. Patients with advanced breast cancer were randomized to first-line chemotherapy with a combination of epirubicin (Farmorubicin(A (R))) and paclitaxel (Taxol(A (R))) alone (ET) o

Implicit group messaging (IGM) is a decoupled messaging paradigm for connecting content publishers and consumers over the Internet. Unlike traditional multicast or publish/subscribe messaging, IGM delivers content to “implicit groups” of consumers with characteristics specified by the publisher at the time of publication. IGM systems must support thousands of users and an infinite number of implic
