En detaljerad sedimentologisk studie har gjorts på en sektion längs med en moränkulle vid Törnåkra i Småland, södra Sverige. Två sedimentära enheter, enheterna A och B, identifierades baserat på deras sedimentologiska särdrag. Den understa enheten (A) bildades genom vertikal pålagring av gravitationsdrivna sedimentflöden (diamiktona lager), kombinerat med att smältvatten dissaggregerade en stor deA detailed sedimentological study was made on a section along the side of a moraine hummock at Törnåkra in Småland, south Sweden. Two sedimentary units, A and B, were identified, based on their sediment characteristics. Unit A, the lower one, was formed due to vertical stacking of sediment gravity flow deposits (diamict beds) in combination with melt water disaggregation of such beds, leaving resi

This thesis has investigated the formation of sectarian identities on Northern Ireland. The thesis argues that the key factor in creating and maintaining sectarian identities is cultural violence. Cultural violence creates and maintains sectarian identities by closing the historical narratives, the identities and thus putting the society in melancholia. The thesis has investigated republican and l

This thesis centers on the work of the Swedish critic, filmmaker, and scholar Gösta Werner (1908-2009) and analyzes his commissioned short film Tåget - en film om resor och jordbundenhet (1948). Although recent developments in film studies show an upsurge of interest in the previously neglected field of the industrial film, in-depth case studies of the relationship between filmmaker and commission

Kan skuggträd och landskapsdesign minska insektsangrepp på kaffe? Kaffe är en av de viktigaste handelsvarorna i världen, uppskattningsvis dricker 500 miljoner människor över hela världen denna mytomspunna dryck. Svenskarna konsumerar massvis med kaffe, i medeltal hela 161 liter/person/år, vilket skulle räcka till att fylla ett badkar. Över 20 miljoner familjer i över 50 länder är beroende av kaff

Affärsmetoders patenterbarhet har diskuteras under en lång tid, dock är de exakta kraven för att en affärsmetod ska anses patenterbar och dessas tolkning inte tillräckligt klarlagda, varken i USA eller i Europa. Även om patenterbarheten av affärsmetoder inte har varit en okomplicerad fråga i USA, har både de amerikanska domstolarna och det amerikanska patentkontoret uppvisat en förhållandevis libeThe patentability of business methods has been debated over a long period of time, nevertheless the exact requirements for a business method to be patent eligible and their interpretation remain unclear both in the US and Europe. Although the patent eligibility of business methods has not been an obvious matter in the US, the US courts and the US patent office has chosen to adopt a quite liberal s

Recent findings have shown that listening to white noise can improve memory in people with ADHD or low levels of attention. The current study explored whether white noise can improve performance on a test of sustained attention. Participants (N=19) were divided into an attentive (N=10) and inattentive group (N=9) based on the inattention sub-section of the ASRS (Adult Self-Report ADHD Scale). Part

There is a recurring argument among scholars concerning entrepreneurship education: some argue that it lacks value, others disagree, pointing out that concrete outcomes can be achieved by a combination of academic learning while obtaining practical experiences at the same time. There have been studies of both aspects but without a clear conclusion. In this study, we conduct personal interviews wit

Popular science summary: New approaches for treating lakes with ammonia pollution Extract of Yucca shidigera, a desert plant, has been used in aquaculture to control ammonia in the water. Microalgae has been proved effective in removing ammonia and phosphorous from wastewater of agriculture and aquaculture. Therefore, it is possible that they could remove ammonia from lakes. Hence, several fish t

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Ska du flyga långt med de där vingarna? Vissa fåglar flyger långt, andra inte. Silvertärnorna flaxar med vingarna från Arktis till Antarktis medan pingvinerna använder vingarna för att simma och inte flyger alls. Eftersom att olika fåglar använder sina vingar på så olika sätt så har nämnda vingar anpassats efter vingbärarnas behov. Vissa studier har visat sambaAbstract Bird wings are adapted to the needs of the birds and bird wings therefore differ between species, but also between ages and sexes. In this thesis, an interspecific analysis investigating relations between measurements of wing shape for birds within the Sylviidae-family, revealed strong connections between morphologically unrelated measurements. Long distances (compared to the wing length

The EU ETS emission-trade system must both enable a decrease in GHG-emissions and be a driver for growth in the renewable energy-sectors. Implemented in 2005, it has been given fifteen years until 2020 to show some acutely needed results. The EU ETS was set out to meet both ecological and economical challenges at once and it is the worlds largest, most encompassing and most expensive climate-progr

Does democracy increase economic growth? This thesis has narrowed down the question to empirically estimating the causal effect of local elections of district heads on economic growth in Indonesia by using a quasi-experimental research method, or “natural experiment” approach. In Indonesia the first elections of district heads were performed in a staggered manner, and decided such that the year of

In a modern-day circular economy context, there is a dire need for companies all over the world to change and adapt their business model from linear to circular. This thesis is thus dedicated to deepening the understanding of business models in circular transition, by looking at effects on the specific business model components: value proposition, value creation and delivery, and value capture (as

This thesis explores the nature of the challenges local NGOs face when responding to the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela. In doing so, it draws on material collected from distance interviews with Venezuelan NGOs involved in delivering humanitarian aid and on qualitative analysis of political statements from members of the Venezuelan government. Further, it investigates whether and how identified

Sea Level Rise (SLR) is a growing global concern that is heavily influenced by a warming climate. Because of a potentially large added mass to the ocean through ice melt, the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) plays an important role in the contribution to SLR. The presence of slush on Greenland is the result of melting processes and it can work as an indicator of surface mass balance (SMB) patterns on th

Methodology: In this quantitative study, the data is analysed through correlations, after which significant difference

Social inequalities predominantly shape the population's health outcomes. Especially, basic social structures are the fundamental causes of determinants of health. Meanwhile, there are active intermediary factors of the social determinants of health introduced by the Commission on Social Determinants of Health. This study aims to examine those factors, alongside a fundamental cause perspective

Climate change is receiving more attention; the public debate has started to note its significance, and the consequences have started to show. How societies are interlinked with their environment is as evident in the 21st century as ever before. This study is an attempt to examine the relationship between climate change and inequality in India. Climate change is quantified by investigating climate

Urbanisation is an inevitable part of globalisation. With the globalised food chain in place to feed the growing number of people living in urban areas. A remedy is often expressed to be urban farming, with local, sustainable production of food. This study presents a preliminary assessment of the dynamics between urban farms and residents in Malmö. Urban farms produce available food for the reside
