The deep-sea may be on the verge of becoming the latest frontier for resource extraction of critical metals and minerals in order to build renewable energy technologies such as electric vehicles. This thesis examines the narratives used by the deep-sea mining company The Metals Company to justify the extraction of polymetallic nodules from the seabed in the Clarion Clipperton Zone in the Pacific O
This Bachelor’s thesis consists of an empirical study using a gravity regression model to determine if Ukrainian bilateral export flows were affected by the 2014 war through an increase in political and social risk functioning as trade resistance. There is an empirical research gap on this issue that this thesis attempts to mitigate. The study was conducted using PPML with fixed effects to solve t
Inför mitt examensarbete kändes det viktigt och intressant att titta tillbaka på min identitet som arkitektstuderande och hur den har vuxit fram. Jag inser däri att min ingång till arkitektur kommer ur mina personliga upplevelser och erfarenheter. Val om projekt jag gör i rollen som arkitekt kopplar till mina minnen från barnsben även om intresset inte nödvändigtvis började där. I denna tankegång
Den svenska mervärdesskattelagen, ML, stadgar att mervärdesskatt ska beta-las vid omsättning av vara. Ett exempel på när sådan omsättning föreligger är enligt 2 kap. 1 § 1 p. då en vara överlåts mot ersättning. Mot bakgrund av att mervärdesskatterätten i hög utsträckning är unionsrättsligt harmoniserad ska ML tolkas i ljuset av mervärdesskattedirektivet. I direktivet används inte be-greppet omsättThe Swedish Value Added Tax Act provides that VAT must be paid whenever there is a turnover of goods. An example of such turnover is, according to Chapter 2, Section 1(1), when goods are transferred against payment. How-ever, given that VAT law is largely harmonized under EU law, the Swedish Value Added Tax Act must be interpreted in the light of the VAT Directive. The concept of turnover is not u
In the vehicle industry, as well as rest of society, efficiency and automatization is increasingly important. For the vehicle industry, the next big step in vehicle evolution is automated vehicles, AVs. AVs are predicted not only to make transportation easier but also safer. This thesis will further examine the present EU legislation in product liability, how the presentation of AVs will be affect
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate how probit functions have changed based on research that has been conducted by RIVM in the Netherlands, and to investigate how the calculated risk evaluation changes when using new values derived in QRAs conducted in Sweden. The goal was to quantify any differences that might occur due to the changes in probit functions. To conduct this thesis a survey
FN’s konvention om rättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättningar är inte bara det ledande instrumentet inom internationell funktionshindersrätt utan knyter även samman fältet med en rad andra områden inom den internationella människorättsjuridiken. I konventionens 27e artikel garanteras rätten till arbete för personer med funktionsnedsättningar, och därigenom kopplas den internationella funkThe United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is not only the main instrument of international disability law, but also connects the field with a multitude of other areas of international human rights law. In its 27th Article it guarantees the right to work for persons with disabilities, thereby bridging the gap between international disability- and international labour
Hållbart resande är idag viktigare än någonsin att ta hänsyn till. Det är inte längre fossildrivna motorfordon som allmänt anses vara vägen framåt i samhället. Resor bör helst ske med hjälp av transporter vars miljöpåverkan är så liten som möjligt, där gång, cykel och kollektivtrafik förväntas användas mer. I Lunds kommun och Malmö stad är fokus på hållbara transporter starkt närvarande i deras stTo travel sustainable means more than using sustainable transportation; it is important to ensure that the entire journey is sustainable for one to go from one destination to another. The purpose of the study is to investigate how the entire journey is addressed by municipalities' Master Plan and traffic and mobility documents. Specifically, the study analyzed the municipality of Lund and the
In the last century, agricultural intensification has led to loss of permanent pastures in the landscape which has been correlated with a loss in biodiversity. Specifically, small specialist species are more negatively affected. Often because they have a higher demand on suitable complementary habitats, larger home-range requirements of a high quality. Small species also have a lower mobility and
In this study, the reagent 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) and high-performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC) were used for carbohydrate characterisation. It was revealed that the DNS reaction is not exclusive to reducing ends as commonly thought, but rather that the reagent reacts with other parts of the carbohydrate molecules as well. HPAEC analysis was used to find how the product distr
The purpose of this Essay is to study whether Swedish Army Officers of today are less prepared for an armed conflict than their older colleagues. The study is a text analysis of Meir Finkel’s theory on Cognitive and Command Flexibility, Swedish military Doctrines and other relevant documents. A research report put together by Swedish Defence Research Agency examining the process of career developm
In 2016 Max Abrahms and Justin Conrad published a study that resulted in a theory regarding anonymous terrorist attacks. Terrorism is a political communication strategy used by groups to communicate their grievances and the cost of ignoring them. In practice, however, terrorist groups only take responsibility for a small fraction of all attacks. Terrorist leaders are not honored for the violence a
What was it that prompted a security policy-differentiated action between Sweden and Denmark as a counter action to the Russian power built up with landing ships in the Baltic Sea region mid-January 2022? This study will try to provide answers to this. We look at it as a comparative case study with two of Keren Yarhi-Milo´s theories from the book The Behavior thesis: Knowing the adversary from 201
In the Swedish Armed Forces (SAF) only few female naval officers reach the position of Commanding Officer (CO) of a naval warship. This, even though the percentage of female officers in the Navy is high compared to the entire SAF. This hampers SAF equality ambitions because a command on the lower levels is a stepping-stone towards higher leadership positions. In this student paper eight female nav
The purpose of this study is to survey the Swedish peoples trust to welfare from the perspective of the changes that have occurred since 1986. Have these changes affected Swedish peoples view of the welfare state and of the state itself? The focus of this study is whether and how views of the welfare state have changed during the 1986-2004 period. The Study conducts an analysis based on surveys ma
In this study, the process surrounding the provision in Chapter 16, Section 4 of the Environmental Code on municipal vetoes in wind power establishments is examined. The aim is to apply John W Kingdon's theory Multiple streams framework on the way from its introduction in 2009, to the outcome of the National Strategy for a Sustainable Wind Power Expansion issued in 2021. Following the publicat
This project aims to explore the possibilities of living sustainable lives in urban environments. I focus my project on food waste composting in apartments. I collected interviews about the problems people had with disposing of food waste in their apartments, and by searching the literature to select the most suitable composting ways. I have studied and summarized the problems of current products
The impact of conscription on the willingness to defend one`s country is not clear in previous science. In a number of governmental documents published by the Swedish government, emphasize the need of broad popular support among the people regarding defending Sweden. As we now face an increased need of participation in the total defence and increased recruitment to the Swedish armed forces, there
