Cosmopolitan theory has long argued that the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. Through borderless phenomena such as climate change, and through globalizing processes such as cross-border mobility and the global market, we are becoming increasingly aware of their social and political impact as global news and debates fill our social media channels. To this end, cosmopolitan theory argu
This study explores the cross-section between sustainability assessment and research reviewing- and evaluation at an early development stage of emerging technical solutions´ by conducting a case study on Sustainability Readiness Level, a tool used in the application and reviewing process of the Strategic Innovation Programme (SIP) BioInnovation. The aim of the thesis is to gain a deeper understand
Since 1992 the European Union has been granting certificates attesting the veracity and legitimacy of products in all of the EU. Such certificates are a symbol of the importance given by the European Union to the protection of regional products against falsifications of unique foodstuff products and the maintenance of good reputation of rural producers and rural areas. There is, however, a great
When a severe deleterious mutation appears in a population, it is expected to disappear through negative selection within a few generations. However, the variance of this number is significantly large to allow some deleterious mutations to exist for several generations. To extend the understanding about these dynamics can help to prevent and treat genetic disease in humans and other species. In or
The main research problem in this thesis is the lack of a holistic understanding of how neo-patrimonialism, colonial legacies, decentralisation, illiberal peace-building and the revitalisation of traditional reconciliation practices have affected conflict, peace and development in North Maluku Province (NMP). This is important to study, given the negative impacts inherent in the conflict-developme
To be able to change gears in a transmission it is necessary to remove the torque when disengaging and engaging gears in order not to damage the teeth of the cogs. If the driving torque from the engine to the wheels is interrupted for a longer period of time it can be perceived as very uncomfortable for both the driver and passengers in the vehicle. A gear change can be divided into three main sta
The transition from care to independent living is a critical period in the lives of young people leaving residential care. The purpose of this study was to find out what young people leaving residential care need for a successful re-adaptation to society. Another purpose was to find out from research the essential factors for good outcomes to last after residential care. In order to find out I con
The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the issue of car dependency is represented within the transportation system of Region Skåne and how that representation shapes the region’s strategy for mobility. This is done through a document analysis of the active version of the transportation strategy from 2017 as well as the soon-to-be implemented draft version from 2025 using the “What’s the prob
As convenience keeps driving the ready meals market, the foreseen rising sales might increase the environmental impact caused by this food category. Strategies for reducing the environmental impact of food products have been identified, some focusing on food packaging and eco-design. However, a gap between the current published guidelines and the requirements considered by food companies has been
In recent times, as the construction industry moves towards high-rise structures, under seas tunnels and mega infrastructure projects, companies face hard time managing the construction that continuously evolves for achieving new methods of engineering and supervision. Depending on the size and sensitivity of the project, the owners choose the construction company; i.e. mega projects require mega
This project examines why local materials matter and the main elements to consider when making sustainable designs. Iceland is heavily relying on import because of the scarcity of raw natural local materials. In the main natural materials require less energy and water use as they are less processed and consequently become a more sustainable choice. However importing natural materials significa
This thesis puts forward the idea that the radical other that constitutes and threatens our society is not to be found outside its limits, but that it is something inherent to our society. It proposes that the threatening other, the constitutive outside of society, is the subject 'the poor', that in its failure to partake in the labour market, fails to conform to the rules of the market, a
Following trends in local and global environments, it is obvious that many companies are faced with difficulties to survive in this competitive environment. Business Model Innovation (BMI) is the key to the firm’s long-term success. The case study of BTC d.d., has been made to give an example how firms should be aware of their weaknesses and strengths in order to constantly innovate their business
Despite the increased focus on sustainable urban development both within academia and in urban planning practices, authors seem to agree that we are mostly continuing business as usual and are not embarking on different socio-environmental trajectories. On the contrary, such urban sustainability practices can often lead to processes of displacement and gentrification, thus worsening the conditions
The frequency of two external cavity diode lasers tuned to the two transitions at 410 nm and 451 nm of indium are stabilized in this thesis. A hollow cathode lamp of indium atoms is used as a low pressure source of indium atoms in the locking process. Two frequency stabilization methods, wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) and polarization spectroscopy (PS), are used in the thesis for the las
The purpose of this study was to investigate social workers and school personnel's experience of child participation in CIP meetings, with a particular focus on children with NDD. More specifically, the study aimed to explore how child participation was facilitated within these meetings. The study was based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with four social workers, one teacher, and tw
