This thesis is a qualitative case study on greening policies in the Minawao Refugee Camp in far-northern Cameroon. It thoroughly investigates the actors and dynamics of humanitarian aid and specifically explores how environmental mainstreaming can shape humanitarian governance. The case was chosen due to its unique policies and programmes that aim to green the refugee camp and use a participat
This master’s thesis evaluates the feasibility of using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the effects of high temperature heat treatments of a coated soft magnetic composite (SMC) sample. SMCs are an increasingly competitive magnetic powder material which finds use in for instance electric motors. A heat treatment following compaction for SMCs is an essential part of manufact
Shopping malls are becoming more prevalent throughout the world. They have been identified as having high energy use, which is less explored than other building types. There are 357 shopping centers in Sweden, which has doubled in the last five years. Regardless of national differences in shopping mall tenants' demands, shopping malls always tend to have high lighting loads, high population de

There is no consensus on how to define and measure green growth. Consequently, we can neither state if growth is actually green nor econometrically explore important questions such as what determines green growth. This thesis takes a three-step approach to move one step closer to a unifying longitudinal cross-country measure of green growth. It analyzes how green growth has been quantitatively mea
This master thesis contributes to the literature concerning the theoretical and empirical understanding of dividend’s change on company’s future earnings. The paper analyses if dividends have explanatory power over future earnings. Also, the analysis expects to provide more evidence of the relationship in Nordic region. This thesis is based on a quantitative study where we use a sample of 586 comp
Scarce research has been conducted on the moderating role of attentiveness in the effect of tDCS on cognitive performance. On the other hand, research on the impact of auditory noise on attention has generally demonstrated the detrimental effect of task-irrelevant noise on performance of cognitive tasks, yet has also neglected to explore the role of attentiveness in this relationship. Accordingly,
This thesis in whole is essentially envisaged to display the evolutionary process of the protection of the right to data protection, with a focus on cross-border data transfers, specifically between the EU and the U.S. post-Schrems case. The Schrems case marks a pivotal moment in the definition of the notion of privacy and data protection in many ways, among which the downfall of Safe Harbor is th
Bacteria can live in a surface attached community called biofilm, where microorganisms can multiply, grow and produce extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and biofilm formation proceeds in different stages from attachment to a mature biofilm. In food industry, biofilms are a significant issue that can affect product quality and safety when biofilms are formed in the processing equipment. The
Most previous research on foreign aid has examined the links between aid and economic growth, with tenuous results. I endeavour to estimate the impact of health aid on the health level in the recipient country, proxied by the change in the infant mortality rate, as well as examine what other country-specific factors that affect the efficiency of health aid. My results are in line with my hypothesi
Sexual satisfaction has been found to be closely connected to the overall life satisfaction of individuals, making it a public health issue. Most of the previous research has focused on physiological factors related to sexual satisfaction. However, evidence suggests that psychological factors are at play, and can act as protective factors against the decline in sexual satisfaction. This thesis wil

Systematiska våldtäkter av kvinnor i väpnade konflikter är ingen nyhet, utan ett fenomen som drabbat åtskilliga kvinnor, under åtskilliga konflikter, under historiens gång. Men trots att våldtäkter i väpnade konflikter har varit ett utspritt problem, har fenomenet väckt förhållandevis lite intresse inom det internationella samfundet, och regleringar på området har vuxit fram i en långsam takt. UtWartime rape is old news, and most experts agree that for most of human history, war and rape have gone hand in hand. But although wartime rape is a centuries old phenomenon, it seems to have disinterested the international legal community for most of its existence. The current legislation regulating wartime rape in international humanitarian law (IHL) is decades, not centuries, old. This thesis w

They wrote an answer to an open tailed question. I summarized the text they gave me and let the same leaders and totally fourteen members from the two churches in Malmö react on two of the texts. Finally th
Copyright law has developed over the last years in such a way that the private interests of right holders are favoured, and users remain in the shadows of the big commercial benefits. There are many advocates for extension of copyright protection as well as for its abolition. This work focuses on the human rights aspect of copyright. It does not claim that copyright protection should be eliminated
The inherent right of self-defence in international law is part of international customary law and reiterated in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. The concept of self-defence has changed dramatically throughout legal history. Today's interpretation of what constitutes self-defence can be traced back to the Caroline case setting the basis for the understanding and limitations of the rig
