Climate change is primarily driven by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. Reducing these emissions globally requires a massive effort at the individual, city, and national scales. Urban areas are hotspots of anthropogenic emissions, given the high density of human-based activities, and clarity on the variations of emissions in these areas will enable effective targeted reduction plans.

The aim of this study was to explore the way out of homelessness for women with children and a history of substance abuse. The study population were women who had personal experience of being homeless, a substance abuser and a mother, but had left the homelessness and substance abuse behind. Four semi-structured interviews were conducted with four different women, and the empirical material was th

The aim of our research has been to identify what prevents Syncron from implementing a single item emergency ordering policy in their inventory management system, GIM. Emergency ordering is defined here as the ability to use two supply sources, a normal one and a faster more expensive emergency source. We further wanted to investigate under what circumstances an emergency ordering policy could be

This thesis investigates the trends of subnational economic development in Vietnam from 2018 to 2023 to test for economic convergence on a regional scale in addition to analysing the extent to which local institutions lead to differing economic outcomes. The findings of this paper suggests that there existed a wide gap in the economic performance of Vietnamese provinces at the start of the period

Before a processing unit is taken into production it is prepared with water instead of product, among other things it is sterilized this way. When this preparation phase is done, the water is pushed out with the product that is about to be processed. During this phase a mixed zone of water and product occurs. This mixed zone of water and product results in a cost for the producing company due to l

Unsustainable consumption is today an acknowledged global problem which is set to only get worse unless major changes take place. Our society is based on a linear model where unlimited resources serve as fuel for increased consumption. Even though awareness among consumers is growing, there are still many consumers who are unaware of the effects of their consumption on the environment. However, th

Popular science ArRiyadh, the capital city of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. During the last decade the population of the city has been increased to five million due to heavy migration towards the city. Due to this population pressure, the living conditions in the different neighborhoods of the city are different. The residents in any city are mainly

We construct tradable risk factors using combinations of large and liquid mutual funds (long leg) and ETFs (exchange-traded funds) (long and short legs), based on their holdings, for both retail and institutional investors. Exploiting a novel dataset, our tradable factors take into account ETF shorting costs. Assessing the performance of our tradable factors against standard “on-paper” factors, we

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att utreda socialtjänstens ansvar för omedelbara omhändertaganden av barn till utsatta EU-medborgare. Socialtjänsten ansvarar för omedelbara omhändertaganden av barn med stöd av 6 § lag med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU). I ett nyligen avgjort rättsfall från Kammarrätten i Stockholm förefaller detta ansvar inte längre omfatta omedelbara omhändertaganden The aim of this thesis is to investigate the social services’ responsibility for emergency care orders for children of vulnerable EU-citizens. According to 6 § LVU, the social services are responsible for emergency care orders of children. However, in a recently decided case from the Administrative Court of Appeal in Stockholm, this responsibility appears to no longer include emergency care orders

In the current digital era different kinds of chat tools and communication plat- forms are used worldwide at many companies as a natural part of the work day. As the amount of chat conversations and messages increases, the degree of diffi- culty to find information sent previously rises. To tackle this difficulty, many of the leading communication platform providers have incorporated a search func

A newly found site for the regionally very rare and nationally red­listed Porella arboris-vitae in central Skåne, southern­most Sweden, is reported and described.

High latitude mires are key ecosystems in the context of climate change since they store large amounts of carbon while constituting an important natural source of methane (CH4). However, while a growing number of studies have investigated methane fluxes (FCH4) at the plot- (~1 m2) and ecosystem-scale (~0.1–0.5 km2) across the boreal biome, variations of FCH4 magnitudes and drivers at the mesoscale

Title: A Case Study of Motivators Behind The Use of Social Networking Sites Purpose: The purpose of this study is to gain in-depth understanding of the motivating factors behind the target groups engagement with company profiles within Social Networking sites. Furthermore the aim is to gain knowledge about what content is attractive on a company profile within a Social Networking site and the wome

Deposition of phosphorus (P) is important for the nutrient supply to forests and open land but also contributes to the eutrophication of surface waters. Deposition to open land can be measured as bulk deposition while deposition to forests cannot be measured directly, due to internal circulation of P within forest canopies. This study aimed to quantify the total deposition of P to open land and fo

The keystone species concept holds that certain members of an ecological community, despite their low abundance, exert disproportionately large effects on species diversity and composition. In microbial ecology, experimental validation of this concept has been limited because targeted removal of individual species remains technically challenging. Here, we developed a procedure to test the keystone

Effective environmental policies for the tropics depend on accurate, representative scientific data. However, there is strong evidence from particular disciplines and regions that existing research is patchily distributed. Here, we show that poor representation of sampling and citation in some biomes and across key environmental gradients from all disciplines for the entire tropics may lead to fla
