The present research seeks to understand interviews I have conducted with selected individuals in Budapest, Hungary. Through an analysis based on well-established feminist theory I analyse what the dimensions of quality and character of life can be like for those committed to an environmentally conscious lifestyle, and ultimately gives credence to the notion that there might be deeper psychologica
Large amounts of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere are stored in forest ecosystems and its soil. Once the forest ecosystem is disturbed the release of this carbon can drive positive feedback to global warming. Humans impact the forest ecosystem through clear-cutting for wood production and other commercial purposes. Clear-cutting is still a standard forestry management method, but its effect on
Responses to combating worsening climate change are legitimized through narratives employed in government policy which build on existing master narratives about climate change produced in the subpolitics of international mega-science mainly influenced by IPCC as an expert authority. In Sweden the climate law forces the government to produce a Climate Policy Action Plan (CPAP) every four years that
To accelerate sustainable development and mitigate climate change, an increasing amount of finance is being mobilized for the deployment of renewable energy (RE) in developing countries from bilateral and multilateral donors and climate funds. Even though this trend is present in Mongolia, there is still a lack of knowledge about how effective these efforts have been for renewable energy developme
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) has been successfully implemented in various developed countries. The complex waste flows and the presence of the informal sector in non-OECD countries makes the execution of EPR challenging widely. The informal sector owing to its contribution to the waste management sector has been advocated for inclusion and recognition by researchers and practitioners. Th
Möllevången är en av de stadsdelar som i Polismyndighetens senaste trygghetsmätning avvek från den generella ökningen av upplevd trygghet bland Malmöinvånare. Stadsdelen har under de senare åren brottats med en lång rad vålds- och sexualbrott som har skett i den offentliga stadsmiljön. Denna studie ämnade därför till att försöka skapa medvetenhet kring hur kvinnors upplevelse av (o)trygghet ser ut
Redan för över ett århundrade sedan, i industrialiseringens vagga, funderade fysiker, kemister och naturvetenskapare på de eventuella konsekvenser de oreglerade utsläppen av fossila bränslen i atmosfären kunde få. Bland annat förutsåg man en framtida global uppvärmning. Nu har det gått många årtionden sedan vi fick svart på vitt att den globala uppvärmningen är ett faktum. Det råder överväldigande
This thesis analyses if and how the EU’s regulatory impact differs between policy areas in the High North. This question will be examined through the lens of the ‘regulatory power Europe’ framework, which is represented by Bradford’s interpretation of the Brussels Effect. This comparative study utilizes a mixedmethod approach scrutinizing quantitatively all applicable regulations in the Arctic as
In today’s society fast fashion has taken over the consumers and prices on clothes are so low that the clothes have lost their value due to their disposability. People are consuming more than they need and also throwing away clothes that they no longer need but are still fully functional. In short, we need to change our consumer habits. This paper will be exploring the sharing economy focusing on
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka vilka hinder och begränsningar livförsäkringsföretag möter vid implementeringen av maskininlärning i deras beslutsprocesser avseende livförsäkringar, inom allt från teknik till juridik. Uppsatsen nämner även potential och möjligheter som ges av den nya tekniken. Studien genomförs genom att först beskriva försäkringsmarknaden, för att sedan gå djupare på den
Cancer patients often show varying response when given the same treatment for the same cancer type. This is especially true for cancer types with high molecular heterogeneity such as B-cell lymphomas which is a haematological cancer subtype. Because of this varying treatment response, research is moving towards enabling personalized medicine where a treatment is selected for each individual patien
The goal of this master thesis has been to implement adaptive PI-control of two air flow heaters in an air sterilization module. This is done by modeling the module and using the information from the model to estimate the dynamics of the heaters. The idea of this thesis is to implement adaptive control with as simple control structures and tuning algorithms as possible, to keep it as generalized
During recent years, advancements in mobile technology have enabled the development of quadcopters and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to the point where their size and maneuverability enable indoor flight. In such GPS-denied environments, accurate positioning is a challenge which poses difficulties during flight, navigation and landing. Such positioning systems exist, but are often expensive or re
