Today the future supply of seafood is threatened due to human activities which, among other things, has led to overfishing. However, more environmental friendly initiatives of producing seafood have emerged, such as Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RASs). By analyzing the sensitivity analysis from six different Life Cycle Analysis (LCAs) on RASs, eight different factors that influence the enviro
This study was done to gain an understanding of the importance of 12 water sources that are in the Vomb biosphere reserve. To do so, an ecosystem services analysis that included the four following types of ecosystem services: provisioning, supporting, regulating, and cultural services, was conducted. The ecosystem services analysis was done by using indicators for each service. A final score base
Solar Assisted Pervaporation (SAP) is a novel technique of preservation that combines the concept of membrane separation and the use of solar energy. The method uses a ‘breathable pouch’ with an active layer of a food-grade hydrophilic membrane. The aim of this study was to understand how different drying temperatures (50oC and 60oC), air exclusion treatment (with and without vacuum) and type of
Shoreline protection is, along with general habitat protection, the only directly applicable conservation act for shorelines in Sweden. The purpose of shoreline protection is to safeguard the public’s recreational access to shoreline areas and protect flora and fauna. Sweden has had general shoreline protection since 1975, and in many municipalities the shoreline protection is extended. Svedala mu
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of working from home within family friendly work policies (FFWPs) and its relationship to firm performance, and whether this is affected by the choice of management practices within an organization. Methodology: A cross-sectional dataset from 2004, including data from 732 firms and four countries, accessed through World Management Sur
The purpose of this study is to investigate how and to what extent four different sustainability certifications set standards for conserving or promoting biodiversity. This is of importance since there are a large number of certifications of different kinds on the market and as a consumer it can be difficult to navigate among these. How these certifications favor biodiversity is important to inves
The decline of bees, such as bumblebees, over the last decades raises concerns as they are key pollinators in both agricultural and natural ecosystems. One proposed cause for the decline of wild bees is competition for food resources with managed honeybees. Detrimental effects of competition can result where co-existing species exhibit a high degree of shared resource use (i.e., niche overlap). Th
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) are brominated flame retardants. These compounds are lipophilic, persistent and have been shown to bioaccumulate. The Baltic grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) and the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) are top predators and especially exposed to high levels of lipophilic pollutant in their diet due to biomagnification. In the current
This thesis analyzes blood diamonds and the human rights issues surrounding them. The problems they pose and the promises and limitations of the Kimberly Process are covered along with the development and future impact of man-made diamonds on the demand side of the blood diamond problem. There are two main sections--the first covers blood diamonds and the second man-made diamonds. The introduction
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om det finns skillnader mellan den bevisvärdering som sker då målsägandens utsaga är huvudbevisning i våldtäktsmål jämfört med rånmål samt att resonera kring problematiken kring en sådan eventuell diskrepans för våldtäktsoffer. För att uppfylla uppsatsens syfte görs en rättsfallsstudie för att analysera våldtäktsmålen och sedan jämföra bevisvärderingen med den i rThe purpose of this essay is to examine if there are differences between evaluation of evidence when the main evidence is the statement of the victim in cases of rape compared with cases of robbery (rån) and to discuss the problems with a possible discrepancy from the view of victims of rape. To fulfill the purpose a comparing legal case study is used in which the evaluation of evidence in cases o

There is a longstanding debate between environmentalists and economists regarding the possibility to combine economic growth and sustainability. So far, the neoliberal economists’ argumentation for a capitalist economic system with everlasting economic growth has been the dominating paradigm. In Sweden, one group of environmentalists able to influence policymaking without being actual decision-mak
Electronic waste is the fastest growing waste category, seen as a consequence of the industry’s rapid technological advancement. The waste in this industry is problematic due to the inherent heterogenic property of devices, the toxicity of the waste, as well as resource intensive production of the required materials. To decrease this waste and the resource demand in the production of electrical de
Emissions from drained organic soils is a big contributor to global warming and corresponds to 5% of global and 25% of Sweden’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study uses a GIS-analysis to map the organic soils in Kristianstad municipality in Sweden and what land use occurs on these soils. The purpose of the study is to provide the municipality with information when investigating the possibi
Packaging waste is an active environmental problem. There is an ongoing process of change in both the EU and Sweden to reduce the amount of packaging waste and create more resources for a circular flow. Considering this, there are contexts, despite new legislation, where single-use packaging will still be offered. Therefore it becomes significant to understand how the consumer can be influenced in
Environmental pollution caused by human activity is one of today's biggest dilemmas. Pollution in air, water and soil can pose risks to human health and the environment and can lead to a reduction in available resources. Investigating and remediating contaminated areas is therefore an important task. In the past 20 years, there have been two major spills of gasoline and diesel at the Energy Po
This paper explores how barriers and risks are perceived by different actors involved in Northvolt's establishment in Skellefteå, Sweden, through the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) and risk perspective. The study employs a qualitative research design and utilizes document analysis and semi-structured interviews to collect data. The findings contribute to the existing risk framework by introduci
This study aims to investigate the ecological sustainability of different beverage packaging and compare this to consumers’ perception of the most environmentally friendly packaging type. A literature analysis was made to understand the advantages and disadvantages of different packaging as well as consumer behavior from other surveys in other studies. Lastly this study conducted and preformed its
