The aim of this study was to examine how participation in football associations can be used to enhance integration work and what challenges the football leaders meet in their work with youths with migrant backgrounds.

In addition to this, social factors in e-servicescape conceptual model are another thing that is less studied in social science. The objective of this study was to look into the influ

We study opinion dynamics in social networks using a version of the concatenated Friedkin-Johnsen model, where the opinion evolution of the participating agents is allowed to continue over sequences of related issues. These agents have a certain associated stubbornness that anchors them to their initial opinion, which we allow them to update between issues. The central purpose of the present work

This research paper comprehensively explores the European Union's roles in regulating greenhouse gas emissions within the aviation sector, focusing on multi-level governance theory and including theoretical concepts of actorness and leadership. The European Green Deal and the Fit for 55 package are used as ‘point of departure’ for the analysis, representing the European Union’s ambitious clima

Bärighetsmätningar är avgörande för att bedöma vägars kapacitet att hantera ökande trafikbelastningar. Enligt Trafikverket förväntas en ökning av personbilar med 27%, bussar med 17% och godstransporter med 46% fram till år 2040. Denna prognostiserade tillväxt leder till ökat vägslitage vilket i sin tur kräver mer omfattande underhåll och komplexare åtgärder i högtrafikerade områden. Traditionellt

Since the incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into Swedish legislation on January 1, 2020, the topic of children’s rights and the best interests of the child has gained increased prominence within social services – not least within the context of financial assistance. We have conducted interviews with eight social workers in a Swedish municipality to examine how work rela

The ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice has been of interest to readers and writers across the ages. However, Ovid's version and many subsequent retellings have focused on Orpheus' character. H.D.'s poem "Eurydice" and Margaret Atwood's poem "Orpheus (1)" are two of the first revisions of the Orphic myth from Eurydice's perspective. In this essay, I c

The paper applies Actor-Network Theory to analyze the entangled stories of wildlife and various human actors within China’s Tangjiahe part of Giant Panda National Park). I explore how wildlife interacts with different actors across hunting networks, rural life networks, and tourism networks, illustrating how the role of wildlife is shaped by the relationships they are part of and how the lives of

Against a backdrop of social and political crises, the indigenous Nasa peoples from north and eastern Cauca engage in a strategy of resistance, which I argue is blossoming into an example of the pluriverse. Pluriversal politics revolve around the imperative and the options for alternatives to development which transform global hegemonic systems. Through a reflexive and attempted decolonial methodo

This thesis explores the intersection of food technology, consumer behavior, and food studies within the context of food product innovation and development, grounded in traditional food knowledge. The focus is on developing tempeh products using lupin and yellow peas—two legumes well-suited to the Swedish climate. The product development process aimed to enhance the protein content and sensory qua

Morocco’s occupation of Western Sahara is being justified by Morocco attracting investments to the Western Sahara territory without the consent of the people of Western Sahara. This comes with numerous human rights violations, to which the investments contribute. The prevalence of human rights and the conditionality for it in investment treaties has been discussed by scholars and proven to be near

This master’s thesis project explores the development and implementation of a powerbank for Power over Ethernet (PoE) driven loudspeakers, addressing the inherent limitations of output power imposed by PoE Type 1. PoE, while advantageous for simplifying installations and reducing wiring costs, restricts the maximum power delivery to connected devices. This constraint poses significant challenges f

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications change the labour market for human workers. To establish if the applications are determined positive or not, they must be researched in a specified field. One field that is affected by AI applications is the field of economics. In this study, the anxiety towards AI and organisation-based self-esteem (OBSE) in (N = 79) accountants, auditors, and payroll cle

Since the feminist movement developed today, women still face the challenges of gender inequality. In some countries, women even cannot see the hope for change. Hence, when aiming to counteract gender inequality, it is important to address the macro level and the micro level. The research focuses on the micro level of resistance to gender inequality instead of large-scale protest movements to exp
