Greening projects are becoming increasingly popular as part of urban transitions towards sustainable cities. Many academic studies have shown that under certain conditions these projects do not address or even execrate existing socio-spatial inequalities. This research attempts to explore the narrative on UGI and environmental justice in academic literature and in the practitioner narrative at mun

In 2011, the UN published a framework called the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and it has been viewed as a first of its kind, by being a global standard of principles that aims to prevent and address risks of human rights violations concerning corporate activities. The framework was ratified by all UN member states and received support from other non-state a

This thesis aims to examine the mechanisms behind the psychiatric diagnosis resignation syndrome and why and/or how it emerged in Sweden in the early 2000s. In addition to this the thesis also aspires to explore the reasons behind why the diagnosis has fallen victim to such a large amount of criticism and suspicion. Through a literature study empirical data, consisting of primarily academic and sc

H.G. Wells’ novella The Time Machine (1895) tells the story of The Time Traveller who travels to the year 802,701. There, he encounters two evolutionary progressions of humanity. One, Morlocks, have been read as representations of Victorian workers and poor, and the other, the Elois, as representations of the aristocracy. The Time Traveller represents the middle class. The novella is often seen as

Ansvarsdebatten som följde av Transportstyrelsens it-affär 2017 inspirerade min frågeställning. Den lyder: Är det lämpligt att utkräva ansvar av statsråd för brister i förvaltningsmyndigheters verksamhet genom misstroendeför-klaring? Frågeställningen avgränsas genom att utgå från Ahlbäcks tre krite-rier angående ansvarsutkrävning. Dessa lyder: någon ska kunna urskiljas som ansvarig, kunskap ska fiThe IT-case of the Swedish Transport Office in 2017 combined with the debate that followed on accountability inspired my question. The question reads as follows: Is it appropriate to hold cabinet ministers accountable for deficiencies in administrative authority activities through a motion of cen-sure? This question is answered by using Ahlbäck’s three criteria for ac-countability. These read: som

Uppsatsen utreder om rättsläget avseende begreppet ”sexuell handling som med hänsyn till kränkningens allvar är jämförlig med samlag” i 6 kap. 1 § 1 st. BrB är tydligt. Frågan är relevant eftersom begreppet utgör gränsdragningsrekvisitet mellan våldtäkt och andra sexualbrott och mellan våldtäkt och andra brott mot person. Lagstiftaren har medvetet utformat ett vagt gränsdragningsrekvisit med ett v

This Master’s thesis is based on a field study conducted at the IdéA, a public library and meeting place in Drottninghög, Helsingborg, chosen because of its urban development mission. This mission should be understood in relation to the redevelopment plan of the Million Program area Drottninghög, where IdéA is located. In this thesis formulations and interpretations of the urban development missio

With the deadline of the 2015 Millenium Development Goals approaching fast, developmental institutions are eager to identify which programs have made an impact and worth continuing as well as which have failed. There have been a number of programs conducted and evaluated in the last decade and now is the time to investigate where they can be improved and restructured. Conditional cash transfers (C

There are many applications of microprocessors in embedded applications, where power efficiency becomes a critical requirement, e.g. wearable or mobile devices in healthcare, space instrumentation and handheld devices. One of the methods of achieving low power operation is by simplifying the device architecture. RISC/CISC processors consume considerable power because of their complexity, which is

De senaste 70 åren har regleringen avseende det personliga skadeståndsansvaret för styrelsen gentemot aktiebolaget i princip varit densamma. I takt med att samhället utvecklas ändras också förutsättningarna för aktiebolagen. Denna uppsats tar sikte på styrelseledamöters och den verkställande direktörens ansvar gentemot bolaget enligt 29 kap. 1 § 1p. Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551) (”ABL”), s.k. internFor the last 70 years the regulation of personal liability for damages regarding boards and CEO’s in their relation to their companies have not substantially changed in Swedish law. This thesis focuses on the accountability of board members and the CEO towards companies according to Chapter 29 1 § 1p. Companies Act (2055:551) (”ABL”), so-called internal liability for damages, (Sw: internt skadestå

Purpose: The main objective of this thesis is to examine the effect different drivers of agency costs have on corporate cash holdings in public and private German technology firms. The analysis identifies three potential sources of agency costs. By determining target cash levels first and then obtaining deviations from these targets, the influences of agency costs are measurable. Data Set: The sam

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Ska du flyga långt med de där vingarna? Vissa fåglar flyger långt, andra inte. Silvertärnorna flaxar med vingarna från Arktis till Antarktis medan pingvinerna använder vingarna för att simma och inte flyger alls. Eftersom att olika fåglar använder sina vingar på så olika sätt så har nämnda vingar anpassats efter vingbärarnas behov. Vissa studier har visat sambaAbstract Bird wings are adapted to the needs of the birds and bird wings therefore differ between species, but also between ages and sexes. In this thesis, an interspecific analysis investigating relations between measurements of wing shape for birds within the Sylviidae-family, revealed strong connections between morphologically unrelated measurements. Long distances (compared to the wing length

I Sverige överenskommes årligen tusentals uppdrag som kan hänföras till området för entreprenader. Entreprenaduppdrag kan vara alltifrån mindre åtaganden till omfattande arbeten med höga kontraktsbelopp. Eftersom dessa arbeten faller utanför KöpL tillämpningsområde uppkommer ett behov av reglering vilket görs inom ramen för den så kallade entreprenadrätten. Entreprenadrätten har i brist på lagreglYearly, thousands of transactions in Sweden can be related to construction of some kind. These constructions can be very various in scope, everything from small undertakings, to extensive long term assignments. Since general purchasing laws of Sweden are not applicable for constructions, there is a need for regulation concerning these assignments. Consequently, a standard agreement – ‘Allmänna Bes
