School-based sex education plays an influential role for adolescents in England. Existing research shows that adolescents are a vulnerable population who are more likely to get a sexually transmitted infection over another age group. Girls between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four are particularly vulnerable to getting an STI. In some countries, a framework called comprehensive sexuality educati
Factors influencing and improving a student’s academic attainments, in particular, test scores, are an essential concern for academics as well as policymakers. In this thesis, I add a student’s ordinal rank, calculated from underlying test scores, as a new input factor to the education production function. By using experimental data on primary schools in the United States, I assess whether the ord
Power systems operate at a specific frequency and constantly require a balance between production and consumption of electricity in order to maintain the frequency within a certain interval. Larger frequency deviations can cause blackouts or damage equipment connected to the grid. Balancing functions that stabilise the grid are referred to as \textit{ancillary services}, which in Sweden include th
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is something that drives our society forward, but how we are consuming these products is rather something that harm our environment rather than pushing our society forward. This thesis investigates our unstainable consumption of ICT products and takes a look at waste prevention solutions in order to reach circular economy with a focus on Swedish muni

In this thesis I investigate the labor market outcomes following the imposition of restrictive measures against unauthorized labor. I do this by studying the causal effects of the Arizona’s migration laws LAWA and SB 1070 on labor market outcomes in terms of employment, wages and the usual hours worked per week. In 2008, Arizona implemented The Legal Arizona Workers Act (LAWA), demanding all emplo

The Zapatista movement is a multilayered movement fighting unequal power structures and oppression. The movement has from the beginning incorporated a large number of women, both as members and as supporters. However, does the Zapatista movement recognize the multiple axes of oppression that women within the movement face? The aim of this thesis is to uncover how the theoretical ideas behind the c
The following study concerns the effects that lies behind accounting offenses. Accounting offenses is an important subject to study due to its wide spread throughout and great effect on society. More then 12 000 cases of accounting offenses were reported in Sweden during 2016 alone. The study’s main task was to identify social and normative relations that affect the actors’ actions in the business

It went from being an uncommon feature reserved for the rich to a prominent part of family-life. The increase occurred against the backdrop of economic growth and the industrialization. This study constructs a data set
Following the Arab Spring uprisings, Tunisia remains the only country in the region that has managed to protect a fragile yet successful democratization process. Tunisians have protested against their deteriorating quality of life as well as a lack of political and civil freedoms, with the hope to transform their society into a more developed one. Since then, the country has lived through signific

Metod: Studien gjordes som en litteraturstudie, som omfattar tio artiklar och
Drastic emission-reductions are needed to avoid the disastrous consequences of climate change. Flying is one of the highest individual carbon-impact actions. By 2050, the aviation industry’s share on global greenhouse gas emissions is expected to rise by 300 to 700%. An intervention to counteract this development is to reduce flying at universities as they have a critical role in leading sustainab
Saudi Arabia constitutes an interesting paradox regarding female labour force participation. Despite high living standards and education levels among women, Saudi Arabia has the largest gender employment gap in the world. The Saudi government addresses this issue in the recently launched National Development Plan Vision 2030 which aims to reconstruct the economy in order to decrease the kingdom’s
This study aims to provide insight into cultural change processes within mature organizations given an increasingly digitalized business environment. Therefore, we take the reader inside ScandiBank, a large Scandinavian financial organization with around two-hundred years of organizational history. The study is rooted in an interpretive research paradigm, and the data was gathered through semi-str
When the Act on System of choice was implemented on the Swedish homecare market in 2009, there seemed to be an assumed understanding that by increasing competition on the eldercare market through privatization it would create better opportunities for women. Entrepreneurship was phrased as a solution for empowering and emancipating women in breaking out from a fixed role in low-status professions.
