The EU’s normative power has been questioned vis-à-vis Grand Powers like China, India, and Russia. It has also been doubted in relation to trade policy, where the economic benefits challenge the incentive to act normatively. In this thesis, qualitative content analysis is conducted to find out how normative is the EU towards China in trade policy, by focusing on a case study of the Comprehensive I
Förenta nationernas klimatpanel indikerade redan år 1990 att klimatförändringarnas största inverkan kan vara på mänsklig migration. Idag är fenomenet med klimatinducerad migration redan en realitet och det förväntas bli allt mer akut under de kommande åren med miljontals människor på flykt från sina hem och samhällen. Ändå är situationen för klimatflyktingar, en kategori människor som i nuläget saThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicated already in 1990 that the greatest impact of climate change could be on human migration. At present, the phenomenon of climate-induced migration is already a reality and it is expected to become increasingly urgent in the forthcoming years with millions of people displaced from their homes and communities. Yet, the situation of climate

Genom att använda smartphones och den utvecklade QR-tekniken kan vem som helst med en smartphone idag ladda ned appar som möjliggör användning av elsparkcykeln. Systemen byg-ger helt enkelt på att en smartphoneanvändare laddar ned leverantörernas app, där användarvillkor godkänns ocThe essay deals with E-scooters as an addition of use of transport in our cities.

The Potato Park is an Andean Quechua biocultural heritage territory where six communities restored a rich biodiversity of native potatoes and other crops. Their food system has gained global recognition over the past two decades for the communities’ cultural and agricultural conservation efforts. The central question of this study is how do the communities resist the hegemonic industrial agricultu
Denna uppsats behandlar ämnet uteslutning av advokater ur advokatsamfundet. Det som jag har intresserat mig för är gränsdragningen mellan påföljderna varning och uteslutning. I och med detta har uppsatsen ett tydligt fokus på rättsfall från Högsta domstolen och avgöranden i advokatsamfundets disciplinnämnd. Jag har även valt att analysera disciplinnämndens arbete kritiskt ur ett rättssäkerhetspersThis essay examines the subject of the exclusion of lawyers from the Swedish bar association. In particular I have shown interest in the delimitation between the penalties exclusion and warning in disciplinary matters. Therefore the essay has a clear focus on cases from the Supreme court and decisions from the disciplinary board in the Swedish bar association. I have also analyzed the disciplinary
Bitcoin har exploderat från att 2008 enbart ha varit en idé, till att det idag är den femtonde största valutan i världen. Även mining har blivit en enorm industri. Trots detta tillämpas de generella reglerna i inkomstskattelagen (1999:1229), vilket innebär att Skatteverkets vägledningar får stor betydelse. Uppsatsens syfte är därför att kritiskt granska Skatteverkets ställningstagande gällande minBitcoin has developed from 2008 merely being an idea till today being the world's 15th largest currency. Also mining has become an enormous industry. Despite this, the applicable law is the general rules in the Swedish Income Tax Act (1999:1229). During these circumstances, guidance from the Swedish Tax Agency plays a crucial role. The purpose of this thesis is to critically analyze the Swedis
Bilförmåner har kommit att bli ett allt vanligare upplägg i både svenska och danska anställningsförhållanden. Med bilförmån menas att arbetsgivaren tillhandahåller en tjänstebil till arbetstagaren som denne kan bruka privat, ofta istället för kontant lön. Samtidigt bygger båda ländernas rättssystem på neutralitetsprincipen, där varje inkomst i inkomstslaget tjänst ska beskattas lika oavsett om detABSTRACT Over the past few years company cars have become a more and more useful and prominent component within the Swedish employment conditions. A similar development can be seen in Denmark. Furthermore, both the Swedish and the Danish regulation in regards to employment benefits is based on the principle of neutrality, whereby every income related to a person's employment is to be taxed acc
Aface the crashing wave of the global climate crisis, humans are struggling to stay afloat. Building a raft of sustainable environmental ethics whilst swimming in the dark waters of unsustainable “modernity” requires a herculean effort. And yet, here we are. The Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) curriculum of Yakushima municipality in Japan is doing its localised part to gather the wood,
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the knowledge sharing and creation practices of adult women with ADHD on TikTok. This thesis also provides a methodological exploration of the implications of ethics, method and sampling when conducting research on TikTok, and contributes to previous studies on TikTok communities by proposing a digital ethnography bricolage, as a suitable method for ap
This masters thesis work has been carried out at the divisions of mechanics at Lund university. The purpose has been to find out more about tungsten and how its material properties are affected by crystal structure defects. This is of interest as tungsten at the research facility ESS will be used in an environment that leads to defects in the material. Molecular Dynamics (MD), which is a simulati
To help protect the health, safety and well-being of vulnerable adults and children receiving care within licensed facilities and prevent future incidents of maltreatment, state human services licensing departments investigate allegations of maltreatment occurring within these facilities. Despite these efforts, maltreatment continues to occur and is increasing within licensed facilitates across th
In a profit-dominant narrative/world and a commodifying social-ecological system, the interactions between humans, environment and nature show us complex inequity and effects on the interwovenness of human health and the health of the environment. In this study, I aim to depict a different approach to human well-being. For that I lived in a so-called ecovillage named Gaia Terra and studied their w
Following postcolonial thought, this thesis argues that colonialism can be reconceptualized as an identity conflict. Consequentially, reconciliation theories concerned with identity creation and societal beliefs can be applied to better understand postcolonial relations. Through a discussion of sociopsychological reconciliation and ontological (in)security, this thesis discusses perceived insecuri
In recent decades, international financial institutions (IFIs) have become loud advocates for gender equality in development and post-conflict recovery contexts. Several organisations have incorporated standalone objectives of women’s empowerment and gender equality in their work. However, feminist scholars have aimed critique towards IFIs for perpetuating already existing inequalities in post-con
Knowledge is a key element in the transition to sustainable agriculture. Focusing on the biodynamic viticulture in Switzerland, this thesis investigates how winegrowers learn to change their practices to produce, without synthetic pesticides, in the context of conventional agriculture hegemony. The interviews conducted with biodynamic winegrowers, having carried out a transition, resulted in sever
Forests are vital for life on Earth. However, they are increasingly threatened, mainly by economic growth. Valuation of forests is dominantly viewed through instrumental values, which is highly problematic as forests are not seen in their complexity. This thesis understanding is based on criticising paradigms of the dominant economic and political system by mainly focusing on economic growth and i
Given a backdrop of industrial land use fractures in Northern Sweden, the kind of human-environmental relations cultivated in Sapmi has consequences for Sami indigenous sovereignty and ecological sustainability. Critically investigating different nature relations is of significance to Human Ecology fields in order to deepen knowledge on both unintended and intended consequences of how we understan
