En aktuell modell är BID (Business Improvement District), vilken utgår från ett samarbete mellan olika aktörer med utgångspunkt att göra ett område “clean and safe”. Detta görs i syfte att stärka näringsl

This doctrine is arguably one of the most important aspects of patent law.

Konflikt är en grogrund för könsbaserat våld. Tidigare diskriminerande strukturer förstärks och mynnar ut i våld inom ramen för konflikten. I komplexa kontexter präglade av religiösa, etniska och/eller politiska slitningar förstärks vissa individers utsatthet. Under ISIS attack mot Sinjar-regionen i norra Irak utgjorde den religiösa minoritetsgruppen Yazidier måltavlan. Genom ett systematisk förfaConflict is a breeding ground for gender-based violence. Previous discriminatory structures are reinforced and often result in conflict-related gender-based violence. In complex contexts characterized by religious, ethnic and / or political frictions, the vulnerability of some individuals is exacerbated. During the ISIS attack in the Sinjar region in northern Iraq, the religious minority group Yaz

Biodiversity offsetting, an increasingly popular tool in Swedish municipality planning, aims to counterbalance biodiversity impacts from development projects as the last step of the mitigation hierarchy. However, previous studies of the outcomes are scarce and ambiguous which calls for continued evaluation. This study aims to examine offsetting measures in Lomma municipality. Planned measures in f
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is nowadays suggested as a fourth (quaternary) treatment step at municipal wastewater treatment plants to remove certain chemicals and particularly organic micropollutants (OMPs). This work investigated the different factors that affect the performance of the GAC filter for the removal of micropollutants in a municipal wastewater treatment plant. This study is purel

Transport and material intermixing within lake systems have a significant impact on lake water quality. However, since researchers are primarily concerned with biological, environmental, and ecological aspects, physics and hydrodynamic behavior in lake water currents frequently receive less attention. The results of several wind-induced current circulation scenarios in Lake Bolmen with its complic

Today most Swedish municipalities work actively with climate change mitigation with the goal to decrease their total emissions of greenhouse gases. To achieve this, the municipalities must decrease their consumption related emissions. This is a rather new question within local governance, which begs the question, how do municipalities work to govern its citizens’ consumption patterns? This study s
Forskning visar att kvinnor känner ett större engagemang för klimatet, men också en större oro för klimatförändringar och dess konsekvenser. Tidigare forskning visar även att vita män som har en konservativ politisk orientering är de som är minst oroade för klimatförändringar. Syftet med detta kvalitativa arbete är att med hjälp av intervjuer skapa en förståelse för kvinnors upplevelse av klimatfö
