As decarbonization pressures increase for energy-intensive processing industries, understanding demand side readiness is essential in order to scale up breakthrough technologies. This thesis investigates the willingness to pay (WTP) for green steel in the North American automotive industry, with a focus on steel produced by the H2-DRI-EAF route, where hydrogen is produced from renewable electricit
Genom en feministisk kritisk diskursanalys granskar denna studie Sierra Leones nationella handlingsplan för implementeringen av FN:s säkerhetsråds resolutioner 1325 och 1820. Syftet är att undersöka huruvida könade diskurser inom resolution 1325 överförs till nationella handlingsplaner samt vilken påverkan detta har för föreställningar om kvinnor och könsroller inom sektorn för fred och säkerhet. Through the use of feminist critical discourse analysis this study examines Sierra Leone’s National Action Plan in its implementation of UN Security Council Resolutions 1325 and 1820. The aim is to investigate whether gendered discourses in resolution 1325 have been included in the national action plan and provide an assessment of the impact this has had on the perception of women and gender withi
This thesis explores stigma in regards to access to education for children affected by HIV/AIDS in Vietnam and strategies to overcome stigmatization. This study is based on previous research which claims that HIV-related stigma causes isolation, bullying and social exclusion among affected groups. As a result, Goffman’s theory of stigma was used together with Bourdieu’s theory of capital and Fouca

In the event of a nuclear weapon detonation or a power plant accident radionuclides will deposit on the ground. It is then important to identify and quantify the radionuclides to obtain information necessary for radiation protection efforts like relocation and decontamination. Radiation protection instruments with beta probes can be used as search instruments but the small surface of the probe an
When landscape changes due to urbanization and agriculture wild nature must adapt and find new spots to colonize. A golf course is one example of such an area. In Scania many golf courses are situated on old agricultural fields, where they can contain more biodiversity than the fields they replace. In this study I mapped potential habitats for different species of flora and fauna at Kvarnby golf c
The Black Forest National Park (NP), Germany, opened in 2014 after intense societal disputes, complicated by changing political factors, scientific conservation debates, and multi-level decision-making structures. I argue that value conflicts over fundamentally opposed views on nature underlie these disputes, and that integrating these views in future NP planning may improve the sustainability of
In the state of Acre, Brazil, there is ongoing land use change, where inhabitants of this part of the Amazonian rainforest practice shifting agriculture. Practicing this type of agriculture is, according to the SKY Rainforest Rescue organization, damaging to forest ecosystems. This organization aims to educate people in how to maintain sustainable agriculture. By monitoring this shift in agricultu
One of the leading challenges presented in 21st century for packaging industry is to address the growing environmental problems related to non-renewable flexible packaging. This leads to new growing interest in bio-based materials, among them cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), which have already shown good performance in improving anti-fog and oxygen & water vapor barrier properties when applied t
Denna uppsats belyser de problembilder som konstrueras i offentliga debatter om Sveriges agerande gällande flyktingar från Syrien, samt vilken effekt detta har på identifierandet av ansvarsinnehav. I fokus för analysen står två interpellationsdebatter, där Sveriges regering kritiseras från olika håll för sin flyktingpolitik. Retoriken i dessa debatter analyseras utifrån två teorier gällande proble
Avkastningsbaserad gräsrotsfinansiering är en kapitalanskaffningsmetod där små- och nystartade privata aktiebolag via en internetbaserad plattform tar in kapital från många mindre investerare, som i gengäld förvärvar aktier i bolaget. Gräsrotsfinansiering är en effektiv metod, men efter genomförd finansiering är det lilla privata aktiebolaget oftast behäftat med en stor aktieägarkrets, någon som kEquity crowdfunding is when a limited liability company raises capital from a large number of investors whom in return acquire shares in the company. Companies utilize equity crowdfunding to secure funds at an early stage. Equity crowdfunding will however alter the ownership structure of the company to a diversified ownership. In order to maintain its efficiency the company must retain the decisiv

Genom införandet av lag (2006:45) om omvandling av fängelse på livstid (OmvL) skapades ett nytt frigivningssystem för livstidsdömda genom en rätt att ansöka om omvandling hos Örebro TR efter att ha avtjänat tio år av det utdömda livstidsstraffet. Omvandlingsprövningen består av fem kriterier, varav ett innebär en bedömning av om det föreligger risk för återfall i allvarlig brottslighet. Om konkretBy the passing of the Act (2006:45) on conversion of imprisonment for life (OmvL), a new system for the release of a prisoner serving life sentence was created, by enabling an entitlement to apply for conversion after having served ten years of the imprisonment. The adjudicate consists of five conversion criteria, one of which involves an assessment of whether there is a risk of a recidivism into
In an effort to mitigate global climate change, the REDD+ mechanism (an acronym for ‘Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stock’) continues to be put forward as an attractive carbon sequestration and forest conservation tool. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), hosting m
Introduction: Reaching universal coverage of assistive technologies remains a challenge in many low- and middle-income countries. Tajikistan has recently adopted several policies and national strategies to strengthen the rights of people with disabilities and improve the provision of assistive products. However, Tajikistan faces a number of challenges, including ensuring sustainable funding for th
Resum:The role of the family in both individual social status attainment and labor careers during industrialization was questioned by the Modernization theory. Accordingly, familial nuclearization was argued to be one of the causes. However, little has been said on this topic regarding societies in which stem or joint families were important as in the case of Southern Europe. This article studies
