Urbanisation is increasing the pressure to exploit green and blue spaces in the city. To preserve these spaces and the ecosystem services they provide, there is a need to change the way we plan and build cities. One way of doing this is to include valuation of ecosystem services in the planning process. Many different tools with the purpose to do this have been developed. The purpose of this stud
This thesis aimed to discover the underlying causes for the drastic loss in support for the Sunshine Policy and the role of the Ministry of Unification throughout its duration. The Sunshine Policy was a new approach to inter-Korean relations by the progressives in South Korea which, despite initially strong support, would eventually become disfavoured among large parts of the population. An establ
I ljuset av det tredje tilläggsprotokollet till barnkonventionen aktualiseras frågan om barns processuella särställning, eftersom protokollet ställer kravet på att en sökande först har uttömt alla nationella rättsmedel. Som huvudregel har barn ingen rättslig handlingsförmåga, och kan inte själva uttömma de nationella rättsmedlen. Det är barnets vårdnadshavare som har den rättsliga möjligheten att In the light of the Third Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the issue of the special legal capacity of children is raised, as the Protocol requires that an applicant first has exhausted all domestic remedies. As a general rule, children do not have a legal capacity and cannot themselves bring an action before a court or appeal against a decision. Children cannot thems

This study employs the ESG-Sharpe Ratio frontiers framework and the ESG-adjusted CAPM model, introduced by Pedersen et al. (2020), to identify the costs and benefits of responsible investing and investigate the relationship between the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues and portfolio performance in different countries across Europe. In this paper, we explain the cross-country diffe
India has yet to build 70% of the buildings that will exist in 2030. The housing industry in India has been growing rapidly in an effort to keep up with increasing urbanization, population growth and aspirational consumption.

In the last couple of decades a strong increase in surface water iron (Fe) concentrations has been observed in the Northern hemisphere. Since Fe in surface waters derives from the soil in the catchment it is important to understand what biogeochemical processes are governing this increase. It has been proposed that reduced atmospheric sulphate deposition increases Fe concentrations in soil solutio
Lagen om hemlig dataavläsning trädde i kraft den 1 april 2020. Lagen innebär att brottsbekämpande myndigheter, utöver säkerhetspolisen, kan få tillgång till innehållet i den enskildes mobiltelefon och dator. Särskilt vid tvångsmedelslagstiftning är det viktigt att lagstiftaren förhåller sig till de rättsliga principer och begrepp som gäller på ett korrekt vis.

When referring to the same event, people can have different assumptions. What is interesting to see is why these assumptions are different, why do people have different stories? Some of the reasons could be different levels of expectation, different communication channels or even different cultural backgrounds. We have analysed all these by having a case study within a company that has recently go

Uttalanden från Lagrådet har gett skäl att begrunda huruvida den överlåtna normgivningskompetensen till Europeiska unionen är så omfattande och betydelsefull att riksdagens ställning urholkas i väsentlig grad. Mot den bakgrunden är syftet med denna undersökning att utreda hur EU-medlemskapet påverkar riksdagens lagstiftningsmakt. För att uppfylla syftet används en metod som kan liknas vid en jämfStatements by the Council on Legislation have given cause to consider whether the regulatory powers transferred to the European Union are so extensive and significant that they substantially undermine the position of the Riksdag. Against this background, the purpose of this thesis is to examine how EU membership affects the legislative power of the Riksdag. To achieve this purpose, a method is us
Inom arbets - och organisationspsykologi finns det ett stort intresse att forska kring variabler som kommunikation, tillit, arbetstillfredsställelse och samarbete. Däremot saknas det studier som undersöker hur sambanden mellan dessa variabler ser ut på kulturorganisationer och kreativa arbetsplatser. Denna uppsats försöker ta an detta outforskade område och tillföra en ny infallsvinkel och ett litWithin work - and organizational psychology there is a big interest in conducting research with variables such as communication, trust, job satisfaction and teamwork. However, we have found no research that investigates the relationship between these variables amongst cultural institutions and creative workplaces. Therefore, this essay aims to take on this unexplored area and provide a new perspec

The textile industry is one of the world’s most polluting industries and generates large amounts of waste due to increasing consumption and short product lifetimes. At the same time, a significant fraction of textile waste consists of cellulose-based materials such as viscose, making textile waste a potential renewable carbon source for the production of bio-based chemicals. In this study, a multi
