The ecological footprint of Denmark has been rising since (and likely even before) 1961, which signifies an unsustainable living by the Danish population. Global footprint reports show Denmark as one of many countries on earth which has exceeded its biocapacity (BC), which means natural resource consumption in Denmark is faster than the land’s regenerative capacity. The residents of Denmark are co
It is well-known that long memory and regime switching in the first moment of a stochastic process are easily confused. But the relation between long memory in the second moment and regime switching in the second moment is less well understood. We perform a simulation study in which we assess the possibility to distinguish the two properties in the case that data with long memory in the second mom
The purpose of this thesis is to explicate different strategies that states can, and do, use to negotiate with challenging partners in conflict situations. A challenging partner, as defined in this thesis, refers to a key player in minority position who is blocking negotiations from reaching consensus agreements. A theoretical model containing five different strategies is developed using theories
This thesis examines how the European Commission depoliticises TTIP, the free trade agreement currently negotiated by EU and the US government and what the consequences are. Taking on a discourse theoretical perspective on power, inspired by Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau, where language plays a central part, this thesis regards depoliticisation as a discursive phenomenon. As language according

Bakgrund: Användning av tröstnapp är ett omtvistat och väl omdiskuterat ämne. Barn som vårdas på sjukhus utsätts för procedurer och undersökningar som inte sällan kan upplevas som obehagliga och smärtsamma. Det sjuka barnet orkar inte alltid äta/amma helt och har kanske inte heller tillgång till sin mamma dygnets samtliga timmar. Även det förtidigt födda barnet gynnas av tröstnappen och fördelarna
Uppsatsen fokuserar på Bangladesh, ett land vars välfärd bygger på klädindustrins import och export. Uppsatsen önskar belysa hur barnarbete påverkar barnen, både deras vardag och framtid. Travis Hirschis teori om sociala band är relevant eftersom den bland annat pekar ut "legitima aktiviteter" såsom arbete eller skola som brottspreventivt. Mitt syfte är att utreda vad som talar för och v
Den inre strukturen och vävnaden hos ben ger information om livsstil hos nutida och utdöda djur. Mosasaurier (familj Mosasauridae) är en grupp sekundärt anpassade marina reptiler som utvecklades och spred sig under sen krita, vilket resulterade i en kropp väl anpassad för marina miljöer. Marina anpassningar hos den här gruppen kan observeras på olika nivåer i skelettanatomin, exempelvis mikrostrukThe inner bone architecture and histology provide information about life history traits of extant as well as extinct animals. Mosasaurs (family Mosasauridae) are a group of secondarily adapted marine squamates that radiated in the Late Cretaceous, resulting in the evolution of a body plan adapted for pelagic habitats. Specialisa-tions in this group can be observed at different levels of skeletal a
The purpose of this paper is to critically examine documents setting down standards for EU asylum policies, in order to see if the power structures and actions called for therein can give a hint as to why declared human rights goals are not fully accomplished by the EU and its member states when implementing the policies. Methodologically this research is done by carrying out a Critical Discourse
Denna studie undersöker tillståndsprocessen för stora landbaserade vindkraftverk i Sverige. För att bygga en gruppstation med fler än sju vindkraftverk som är högre än 120 meter eller enstaka verk högre än 150 meter krävs tillstånd från Länsstyrelsen. Tillståndsansökningar till Länsstyrelsen kräver att den kommun där vindkraftverken ska placeras ger sin tillstyrkan enligt 16 kap. 4 § i Miljöbalken
Abstract The long-term aim of this project was to develop synbiotic drinks presenting food supplements with beneficial effects on human health. A synbiotic consists of a combination of probiotic bacteria and one or more prebiotics. For the part of the project that was covered by this Master thesis, a probiotic strain, Lactobacillus plantarum F44 and a prebiotic galactooligosaccharide (GOS) were t
Many models explain the development of firms focusing on the firms’ resources and the industry that surrounds them, and do not explicitly incorporate the role of the capital market and the owners. A need for a theoretical framework that includes all three aspects was therefore identified. The framework was constructed and tested against an empirical material comprising of the development of Persto

Den svenska integrationspolitiken står inför en strukturomvandling då de delar av flyktingmottagandet som handlar om arbetsmarknadsetablering flyttar från flyktingmottagande kommuners ansvar till den statliga myndigheten Arbetsförmedlingen. Genom en intervjuundersökning med tjänstemän inom integrationsområdet i fyra olika skånska kommuner tittar denna uppsats närmre på hur implementeringsberedskap
Human development index (HDI) is a summary measure used around the world that indicates whether a country is developed, still developing, or undeveloped. HDI incorporates the main factors of human life such as health, education and income. Deprivation in these areas of human life is measured by calculating human poverty index (HPI). The purpose of this thesis is to find the human development index
