The loss of intertidal foraging habitats at stopover sites is the primary cause of population declines in many migratory shorebirds. However, the absence of high-tide roosts can exacerbate this impact by increasing the energy consumed for alarm flights and longer commutes between foraging and roosting sites, which have been poorly quantified during time-constrained spring stopovers. We monitored a

En förutsättning för att ett beteende ska kriminaliseras är att det tänkta straffbudet avser ett identifierat och konkretiserat intresse som är skyddsvärt, det vill säga godtagbart. Ett godtagbart skyddsintresse kan definieras som det värde som skyddas i ett visst straffbud. Föreställningarna om skyddsintresse har systematisk betydelse för indelningen av brottstyper. Att finna arten av det intressA prerequisite for a behavior to be criminalized is that the intended criminal law provision applies to an identified and concretized interest that should be protected. An acceptable protective interest can be defined as the value protected in a particular criminal law provision. The concepts of protective interests have a systematic significance for the classification of the type of crime. Determ

The number of people suffering from the unpleasant symptoms of allergic rhinitis is increasing due to environmental and other factors. This not only makes life difficult for the individual but also places a heavy burden on society, which is why treatment is needed. Rhinocort® is a nasal spray suspension manufactured by McNeil AB to reduce the severity of symptoms, and like all medicines, must und

The European Union (EU) taxonomy regulation marked a milestone in the sustainable finance agenda. The taxonomy aims to accelerate the mobilisation of public and private finance to support the transition to a net-zero economy. The EU’s taxonomy regulation established a classification system of environmentally sustainable economic activities to provide financiers clarity on what to consider a sustai

This study aimed to investigate how two Spanish newspapers, El País, and El Español, portrayed human trafficking for sexual purposes, prostitution, and the central actors. To gain insight and a better understanding of this, eleven news articles from each daily press that were published between the years 2021 and 2023, have been analyzed. The focus has been on both the manifest and latent messages

Abstract This paper's objective is to bring context and important findings on how foreign direct investments can impact Sub Saharan Africa. Based on previous research and theory data has been collected and gone through several econometric tests to set up two different panel datas: 1. How FDI can impact CO2 emissions. 2. How FDI can impact corruption. The method of this study is designed so

The aim of this study was to evaluate two methods of detecting a difference in activity between the two hemispheres of the brain when presented with stimulus during memory encoding. The difference intended to be detected was based on the lateralization of brain processing of sensory input, which was triggered by an auditory stimulus in one ear at a time. The methods that were used for detection, c

The relationship between macroeconomic conditions and mortality has previously been established to be procyclical, which means that mortality has decreased during recessions and vice versa. This has been shown for various settings. However, more recent findings suggests that the procyclicality between mortality and macroeconomic conditions have undergone a secular shift from being procyclical to b

Under de senaste decennierna har samhället genomgått en snabb teknologisk utveckling som resulterat i nya arbetssätt. Det är nu lättare än någonsin att arbeta var, när och hur man vill. Att världen drabbades av en pandemi under inledningen av 2020 accelererade den teknologiska utvecklingen. Digitala arbetssätt blev därmed vardag för majoriteten av den kontorsarbetande befolkningen. När det bevisliIn recent decades, society has undergone rapid technological development, resulting in new ways of working. It is now easier than ever to work where, when and how you want. A global pandemic at the start of 2020 accelerated technological progress. Digital ways of working thus became commonplace for the majority of the office-working population. With the evidence that remote working is productive,

Present master thesis investigates the role of 4 chosen place-based educational initiatives in Austria which are actively engaged in local short food supply chains (SFSCs). Those supply chains are defined by close geographical and social relations between supply chain actors and a limited number of intermediaries. It aims to scrutinize to what extend such initiatives (can) foster consumer-producer

En stor del inom utvecklingen av nya produkter är test och validering. Denna process kräver användning av dyra och stora testsystem. På grund av dessa faktorer är det viktigt att maximera användningen av dessa testsystem. Till följd av detta har ett övervakningssystem utvecklats av test- och validerings-avdelningen på BorgWarner i Landskrona som kan läsa driftstatus (Till exempel på och av) av visA large part of developing products is the testing and validation of the new products. This process requires expensive test systems and a great deal of time and space. Because of these factors it is very important to maximize the usage of the test systems. Therefore, a monitoring system has been developed by the test and validation department at BorgWarner Landskrona that can read the operational

I dagens digitala miljö ökar människor och företags affärsverksamhet online. Digitaliseringen har haft en stor inverkan på de existerande skattebaserna och kräver en eftertanke över hur framtidens företagsbeskattning ska se ut för att den ska anses vara rättvis. För att motverka skatteflykt har flera regeringar antagit BEPS vilket bland annat resulterade i att EU antog direktivet ATAD I 2016. Däru

I Sverige är det kommuner som har ett yttersta ansvar för att den enskilde får det socialrättsligt stöd hen behöver. Kommunala myndigheter är därför enligt lag skyldiga att tillhandahålla en rad olika typer av offentlig service. Till följd av senaste decenniers politiska reformer har välfärdspolitiken i hög grad påverkats av marknadspolitiska modeller och privata lösningar. Kommunerna anlitar alltIn Sweden, municipalities have ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the individual receives the social support they need. Municipal authorities are therefore obliged by law to provide a range of different types of public ser-vice. As a result of last decades political reforms, welfare politics has been largely influenced by market policy models and private solutions. Munici-palities within th

Att länder anklagas för att bedriva otillåten underrättelseverksamhet under diplomatisk täckmantel är ett återkommande fenomen genom historien. Diplomati och underrättelseverksamhet har en lång och sammanflätad historia. Över tid har diplomatin och underrättelsetjänsterna haft ett ömsesidigt behov av varandras verksamheter. Institutionerna har samspelat, men också agerat som konkurrenter. ParallelCountries being accused of conducting clandestine intelligence activities under diplomatic cover is a recurring phenomenon throughout history. Diplomacy and intelligence have a long and intertwined history. Over time, diplomacy and intelligence services have had a mutual need for each other's activities, complementing each other but also acting as rivals in the professional field. The parallel

I vilken utsträckning garanteras egentligen rätten till liv? Historiskt sett har användningen av dödsstraff varit omfattande och genomförts med varierande metoder. Debatten kring straffet har pågått under lång tid men under 1900- talet tog den fart på riktigt och både Sverige och Danmark undersökte möj- ligheterna att avskaffa straffet i fredstid under tidigt 1900-tal. De resonemang och argument sTo what extent is the right to life truly guaranteed? Historically, the use of the death penalty has been extensive and implemented through various methods. The discourse surrounding this penalty has persisted for an extended period, gaining bigger attention in the 20th century when both Sweden and Denmark explored the possibilities of abolishing the penalty during peacetime in the early 1900s. Th

Land degradation and soil erosion are considered one of the main threats to ecosystem services and functions, soil stability and activity, plant community structure and biodiversity, and overall life on Earth. Soil erosion is a problem occurring all over Iceland, with an immediate urgency on the Icelandic highlands and rangelands. Currently, over 40% of the country is eroded, steadily causing loss

Luminiscensdatering är en väletablerad dateringsmetod inom geologisk och arkeologisk forskning. Dock är användandet av luminiscensdatering, mer specifikt optiskt stimulerad luminiscens (OSL), fortfarande underrepresenterat inom norsk arkeologi. Denna studie ämnar utreda lämpligheten av denna dateringsmetod som ett användbart alternativ för utgrävningar av Stenålderslokaler på den norska kusten. DeLuminescence dating is a well-established dating method within geological and archaeological research. However, the use of luminescence dating, and more specifically optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), is currently underutilised in Norwegian archaeology. This study set about determining the suitability of this dating method as a viable option for excavations of Norwegian coastal Stone Age sit

Linear business models which focus on growth and profitability have been deemed to be destructive to the environment, leading to generation of vast volumes of waste and contributing to environmental impacts. As a solution to this problem, a system wide change in the form of circular economy has been proposed. Circular economy focuses on regeneration of materials, keeping resources in use as long p

Gender constitutes an important determinant of mental health. Previous research has pointed out the need to investigate and operationalize the concept of gender beyond two distinct categories to account for the social and relational aspects of gender that may influence mental health outcomes. In this thesis I investigate the influence of gender-related norms on mental health outcomes among wome
