This thesis investigates how the concept of intersectionality travels from policy to practice through the work of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). This is done by looking at two parts of the policy process: policy formulation and policy implementation. By using the ‘What’s the Problem Represented to be’ approach to policy analysis, the first part examines how inters

Yet, cruise tourism is a source of local air p
Outsourcing av IT har under en längre tid använts av verksamheter som en strategi för att fokusera på den egna kärnverksamheten och för att reducera kostnader. Idag är innovation en central faktor inom framgångsrik IT-outsourcing, men dess utrymme tenderar att begränsas eftersom innovation ofta leder till ökade kostnader. Inom IT-outsourcing finns det flera faktorer som har en påverkan på innovati
Thesis purpose: This thesis aims to investigate the broad and well-established phenomenon of impulse buying from a different and unexplored angle. Furthermore, it seeks to explore if players purchase virtual goods on impulse. In addition to this, the purpose of the study is twofold, and it focuses on the examination of certain hedonic motives and if they influence players to purchase on impulse. T
I Aktiebolagslagen finns bestämmelser om tvångslikvidation på grund av kapitalbrist i 25 kap. 13–17 §§ ABL där syftet med bestämmelserna är att sätta upp en gräns för hur långt en förlustbringande verksamhet får fortsättas innan verksamheten måste avbrytas genom likvidation. Kritisk kapitalbrist innebär att bolagets eget kapital understiger hälften av det registrerade aktiekapitalet. Regleringen iThe Swedish Companies Act contains provisions on compulsory liquidation due to capital shortage in Chapter 25, sections 13–17 § ABL where the purpose of the regulations is to set a limit on how far a loss-making activity may be continued before the business must be interrupted by liquidation. Critical capital shortage means that the company's equity is less than half of the registered share ca
In order to enable an effective and efficient adoption of radical innovations in networks, science-based organizations should be aware of the challenges and resistance they may face within their network relationships, resulting from the interconnected structure of high-tech networks as well as the uncertain nature of their radical innovations.

This regulation was tightened by July 2018 be-coming an effective ban, where the subject of the fine was expelled from the administrative limits of the municipality. The measure comes as an ineffective way to deal with homelessness as it does not address the conditions that lead to it, working
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s can be treated with stem-cell derived specialized neurons. In order to achieve precise directed neural differentiation in vitro we need to understand the gene regulatory mechanisms behind in vivo neural tube patterning. We implement a 3D computational model of brain patterning to simulate this process. The mathematical model is set up by unifying two e
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the antecedents of brand transparency and test their impact on the customers’ perception of transparency within the apparel industry.

Bakgrund: Postoperativt delirium är en komplikation till kirurgi och anestesi som leder till ökad mortalitet, lidande och ökade sjukhuskostnader. Preoperativa riskfaktorer är väl undersökta men peroperativa riskfaktorer, som anestesisjuksköterskan skulle kunna påverka, är mindre väl beforskade. Syfte: Syftet med denna systematiska litteraturstudie var att belysa evidensen om peroperativa riskfakto
