  1. 11. The Trans-European Transport Network - A closer look at Policy Failure and the effects of Path Dependence

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Dante Helling; [2023]
    Keywords : The Trans-European transport network; policy failure; path dependence; mixed method; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : There is a trans-European transport network policy on the supranational level that aims to connect Europe with efficient, sustainable, safe and economically viable cross-national transport infrastructure. Because of this, one could expect EU funding to focus on rail infrastructure, as it has proven to be a low polluting, cost effective and an efficient mode of cross-national transport. READ MORE

  3. 12. At the Intersection of Mindfulness and Sustainability - An overview of the emerging field of Mindfulness within Sustainability Science

    University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Author : Lison Mavon; [2023]
    Keywords : Sustainability Science; Mindfulness; Transformation; Interdisciplinary Research; Systematic Literature Review; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change is a people-made crisis which requires a shift in our mindsets. Early studies in the field of mindfulness within sustainability science show the potential of mindfulness to influence consciousness, beliefs, and values for sustainability. However, the field is still at its early stages and scattered over various topics and methods. READ MORE

  4. 13. Asymptotic Symmetries and Dressed States in QED and QCD

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Saimeng Zhou; [2023]
    Keywords : Dressed states; Large gauge transformation; Faddeev-Kulish formalism; Generalized coherent state operator; Wilson line; Infrared divergence; Asymptotic Hamiltonian; QED; QCD;

    Abstract : Infrared divergences arising in theories with massless gauge bosons have been shown to cancel in scattering amplitudes when using dressed states constructed from the Faddeev- Kulish approach to the asymptotic states. It has been established that these states are closely related to asymptotic symmetries of the theory, that is, non-vanishing gauge trans- formations at the asymptotic boundary. READ MORE

  5. 14. Ethnographic case study on Feminist commodity networks and sisterhood building in Melbourne, Australia

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Socialantropologiska institutionen

    Author : Stella Saaresaho; [2023]
    Keywords : Feminist commodity networks; value; ethics of care; sustainability; attachment; sisterhood;

    Abstract : This thesis examines feminist commodity networks through an ethnographic case study of QVWC SHOP in Melbourne, Australia. The work is built through an emic perspective on the understanding of selling, producing, and buying through the QVWC SHOP. READ MORE

  6. 15. The Impact of Swampland Conjectures

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : Daniel Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : String theory; Quantum gravity; Swampland program; Effective field theories;

    Abstract : The Swampland program is way of sorting effective field theories based on conjectures of how an effective field theory consistent with quantum gravity should look like. In this thesis we take a closer look at the No Global Symmetries Conjecture, the Weak Gravity Conjecture, the de Sitter Conjecture and the Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture. READ MORE
