The parents growing interest towards children clothing has become apparent when following Finnish media during the past years. In similar vein consumer culture literature has noticed the rise of clothing markets for newborns. It is scientifically proven that consumption objects have a significant role in life transitional phases. Symbolic meanings of consumption objects are used to facilitate the
Purpose: The purpose of this study has been to critically evaluate the newly issued revenue recognition standard’s ability to reflect economic reality. Methodology: To fulfil the purpose of this study, a qualitative document analysis of how different wide-spread perceptions of economic reality have been accommodated by the IASB under the development of IFRS 15 has been conducted with a backdrop i
Global warming, biodiversity loss, pandemics – humanity today suffers from many life-threatening phenomena beyond those mentioned here. The root cause of those phenomena lies in the overuse of limited natural resources. Economic growth drives this overuse dramatically. Economic growth in turn is inter alia driven by enterprises. This thesis investigates how outdoor equipment enterprises can contri
This project is about developing a new neighbourhood in Häljarp with a floodable wet land park as the core. After analysing the site and its surroundings, a number of strategies has been created to guide the design process. The strategies are divided into three categories; adapt to the site, liven up the community and complementing the area. This landed in a carefully considered proposal. The desi
Increasing global production fragmentation allows for emission displacement, which may counteract advanced nation’s domestic reductions of production-related carbon emissions. Consequently, input-output analysis has become a common tool to measure countries’ carbon footprint and emission trade balances based on national consumption instead of domestically produced CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, trad
The most recent advancement in the subdiscipline of Digital Archaeology is the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in conjunction with Machine Learning (ML) as a tool to predict potential archaeological sites in a landscape. Furthermore, the development of new LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology with a resolution of 5 laser–points/m2 in Åland (as well as large parts of Finland)
This thesis examines gender equality policies of the European Union in external affairs. The aim is to discover how the meaning and “problem” of gender (in)equality is constructed, represented, and problematized in the gender policies for external action. The study also ascertains what logics underpin the problem representations, whose voices are silenced, and what subject positions are created. E
This theoretical paper will explore the limitations of denaturalization of gender, or more specifically the breakage of the link between maleness and masculinity. Using different examples of female masculinities, but focused on those coupled with lesbian desire, it will be argued that exposing performativity/unnaturalness of gender does not necessarily impact the gender binary - femininity/masculi
This thesis examines transnational adaptations of television crime drama between the United Kingdom and the United States. This is accomplished by looking at the case of Broadchurch (ITV, 2013), a complex crime drama series that was adapted from Britain into America as Gracepoint (FOX, 2014). The research explores the themes of cultural adaptation, characterization, and sense of place in both seri
In October 2016 the European Border and Coast Guard [EBCG] was installed as the new institutional structure responsible for border management. In contrast to its predecessor Frontex, the EBCG consists not only of an agency but also of the respective national authorities, responsible for border management and coastguard functions. A better understanding of the creation of the EBCG is needed because
Ekonomiska diskrepanser mellan länder och företag globalt skapar krav och behov för reglering av beviljande av bidrag eller statligt stöd på internationell nivå. I dess frånvaro skulle länder kunna ge vinster till produkter och kringgå konkurrens med otillbörlig förskjutning av varor som skulle ha behövt samma subventioner för att ha en ärbar chans att konkurrera med. Detta skulle bidra till ett öEconomic differences between countries and undertakings on a worldwide scale creates necessities for regulation on the granting of subsidies or State aid at the international level. In its absence, countries would be able to grant benefits to products and circumventing competition with unfairly displacement of goods that would have needed the same subsidies to have a decent chance at competing. Th
I den här uppsatsen undersöks översättning av verser från engelska till svenska. Texten som ligger till grund för undersökningen är J.R.R. Tolkiens The Hobbit. Uppsatsen inleds med ett bakgrundskapitel som presenterar författaren, översättarna och deras respektive karriärer. Efter en redogörelse för materialet och urvalsprocessen analyseras de tre befintliga svenska översättningarna i en kvantitat
Global food security is one of the main concerns of this century. Moreover, the increasing negative impacts of climate change on different sectors including agriculture are further expected to exacerbate these challenges. The main aim of this thesis is to assess the future impacts of climate change on wheat yields in Spain by 2050 and to evaluate the efficiency of early sowing as an adaptation str
In this paper the authors performs a comparative case study between the political groups ANC and Hamas. Using the theoretical framework of Mimmi Söderberg-Kovacs as well as Anniseh Van Engeland and Rachel M. Rudolph the authors has constructed a set of variables to determine what allows a terrorist group to transition to a political party. The dependent variable is constructed as the sucessful tra
When working against deadlines, individuals deal with the time pressure in different ways. Working against tight deadlines has been found to relate to stress (Herrero, Saldaña, Rodriguez & Ritzel, 2012), however frequency of deadlines has not been prevalent in studies in relation to stress. Participants were 84 employees at two transportation companies in Iceland. Frequency of deadlines was a
In this thesis four economic incentives to reduce exhaust emissions of carbon dioxide are studied. The incentives are: the carbon dioxide tax, carbon dioxide differentiated vehicle tax, green car cash bonus and old car scrapping bonus. They are analysed and discussed in deeper theory. Where figures and numbers are available these are studied. Economically they are all more or less efficient. The e
In the face of an expected double demand for electricity by 2045 while also reaching the goal of being a net zero emission country, Sweden needs to expand the production capacity of low-emission electricity. As the right-wing government strives to facilitate new investments in nuclear power, this paper aims to examine the profitability of nuclear power in comparison to land-based wind power. Throu
