Legitimacy has been a key concept in political philosophy since Plato’s Republic. In this degree project I examine the way in which Shakespeare portrays royal legitimacy in seven of his History plays: Richard II, Henry IV parts I-II, Henry V and Henry VI parts I-III. The objective is to examine the representation of two aspects of royal legitimacy and how they relate to each other: the inheritance

To find inspiration and to studies nature’s best ideas and then imitates these designs to solve human problems is what Biomimicry is all about.

Many studies have over the years utilized gravity models derived from trade theories to investigate how various factors affect trade in agricultural goods. Although technological improvements could be considered in such models, few studies have considered this topic in depth, leaving a void to fill. To partly fill this void, this study has chosen the silk sector to analyze the impact of technologi

Only secondary data sources were used for data gathering, and the analysis
The Covid-19 crisis presents an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of fiscal policy by investigating how fiscal stimuli aided recovery from the pandemic in Sweden. As Covid-19 have led to increased concerns of unsustainable debt levels, questions of how government spending has affected the economic rebound and fiscal sustainability arises. To tackle these questions, I evaluate pre-existing
Sustainability research builds upon its mutual relationship with the society to find futureoriented solutions to deal with societal challenges. In other words, it is a matter of research to produce societal impact. Furthermore, funders and researchers themselves increasingly desire for accountability, to show if societal impact is achieved. To deal with that, two adaptive questions have to be answ
From a reputation of an industrial and trading city, Aalborg has changed into a contemporary university city, with a strong development of creative clusters in knowledge-based industries. Nowadays the Vækstaksen, an urban growth axis set by the municipality, has become the driving force in the city’s development to avoid further sprawl. A great part of East Aalborg belongs to this axis and is curr
It is sometimes said that modern politics has lost track of ideology and vision - that personal charisma and expertise is rewarded more than firm beliefs and connections with an organised movement. In their book Technopopulism: the New Logic of Democratic Politics, Christopher J. Bickerton and Carlo Invernizzi Accetti go beyond such suspicions. Their main argument is that the organisational politi

Payment Services Directive (PSD) was designed with the objective of constituting a new legal framework in the field of payments in the European Union. The Directive not only introduces several new solutions, but also transforms those already existing – reshaping the legal background to a large extent. It is clearly visible that the area of payments is a vastly complex part of the EU law. One shou
THIS MASTER THESIS is about making diving more accessible. The experience of diving is today relying on a complex set of equipment and infrastructure, thus most people with a certificate seldom use it. My intention is to evolve diving equipment, which has looked the same since the sixties, and by doing that simplifying the experience of diving. The goal is to create a solution positioning itself
