The labor market and work related attributes are gender segregated. The current experimental research investigates to what extent threat to gender identity affects adolescents’ job attribute preferences. Swedish high school students (N = 263; 50 % girls) were exposed to either a threat to the distinctiveness of their gender group or to no threat at all and then rated their in-terest in gender ster

Among other things, this means that public libraries should not show any political bias and refrain from taking a standpoint in relation to any ideological group. This study investigates the problematic scenario that public librarians have encountered as a result of The Sweden Democrats’ (SD) 2010 entrance into p

This paper mainly investigates the effect of monetary policy rate change on the lending behavior of Chinese banks. The study firstly used the aggregated data of all banks including policy banks, commercia

Denna studie ämnar öka förståelsen om hur svenska nätbaserade livsmedelsföretag som levererar måltidslösningar, i form av exempelvis matkassar, skapar varumärkeskapital. Utvecklingen av näthandel har gjort det möjligt för företag att skapa och upprätthålla relationer till konsumenterna i den digitala miljön.

Hästgödsel – framtidens energiresurs Antalet hästar i Sverige ökar varje år och därmed även mängden gödsel. Hanteringen av hästgödsel är idag ett stort problem då stallarna ofta ligger i tätort eller tätortsnära landsbygd utan tillgänglig areal för gödselspridning. Detta skapar problem för hästägare som får betala flera tusen kronor per år och häst för att bli av med gödseln. Hästar har en stor Horses have a great social, cultural and economic importance in society and contribute to the open landscape. There are currently more than 360,000 horses in Sweden, which together produce over 2.7 million tons of manure per year. This represents 10% of the total amount of manure from all livestock in the country. Most horses are found in urban or near-urban rural areas, which means that there is

In year 2010 there was a new Education Act in which, for the first time in Sweden, students’ right to have access to a school library is mandatory. Earlier this was

Under våren 2002 undersöktes ett område vid Vanneberga ängar vid Kristianstadsslättens randområde med målet att ge svar på kalkstenens beskaffenhet och dess betydelse för grundvattnets sårbarhet. I området utfördes resistivitets-, självpotential- och VLF-mätningar i syfte att hitta vattenförande zoner i kalkstenen. Kartering av skärningar och slukhål med avseende på karstfenomen gjordes för en disIn the spring of 2002, a region at Vanneberga meadows at Kristianstad Plain peripheral region was examined with respect to provide answers of the limestone nature and its significance for groundwater vulnerability. The area was examined with resistivity-, SP- and VLF measurements in order to find water-bearing structures in the limestone. Mapping of karst phenomena were made for the discussion of

Våld i samband med fotbollsmatcher har länge varit ett problem i Sverige. Den 30 mars 2014 nådde det sin kulmen när en Djurgårdssupporter misshandlades till döds i samband med en match mot Helsingborgs IF, vilket blev starten för en kris som drabbade både Helsingborgs IF och dess supporterförening Kärnan. Studien, som fokuserar på medlemsorganisationers kriskommunikation och organisations-samarbetFootball-related violence has been a problem in Sweden for a long time.

The report is the result of a fire safety evaluation of Heleneholmsskolan in Malmö. The focus of the project lies on the public safety within the building and no damage of property is taken into account. A number of likely scenarios have been evaluated and the four wor

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is an influential global actor that in recent years has been criticised for the lack of female representation at their annual Davos summit. The WEF has justified this disparity as simply reflecting the current state of female leadership worldwide. This thesis explores both descriptive and substantive representation within the forum in order to determine whether or no

Given unsustainable food consumption patterns and current policies’ ineffectiveness to change them, new approaches are needed to promote sustainable food practices. In this thesis, I focus on the workplace as a leverage point for change. By studying the case of preschools in Lund with a mixed-methods approach that combines statistical and contextual analysis, I abductively develop a model of how t

10 000kalenderyears ago the first people wandered over the ice and onto Öland. Since then the vegeta-tion of Öland have been exposed to anthropogenic change and impact. During the Iron Age the population of Öland increases greatly due to strong connections to Rome. This time is commonly referred to as ”Ölands guldålder”. An increased population brought about an increase in land use which in turn b

The upcoming changes in the demographic structure will put pressure on the healthcare system in Skåne. Tax financed hospitals with more beds, doctors, nurses and other personnel will not be the solution to cope with the upcoming demands. Increasing healthcare productivity is one way, where digital healthcare is a potential part of the solution. One of the major limitations of the digital healthcar

Background Today’s diffusion of innovation theories are primarily based on the studies conducted up until 1991, which means that they have not taken the new Internet economies into consideration. When considering the enormous impact the Internet has had since its introduction, it stands to reason that there has also been an impact on how innovations diffuse in the marketplace. Problem definition A

Den svenska sexköpslagen stiftades för nära två decennier sedan, med det uttalade syftet att främja jämställdheten mellan kvinnor och män. Lagstiftaren avsåg även att med lagen tydligt markera Sveriges inställning till sexköp och hoppades att den skulle verka normerande både inom och utom landet. Samtidigt har surrogatmödraskap blivit ett växande fenomen. Allt fler svenskar åker utomlands för attThe Swedish Sex Purchase Act has been in force for nearly two decades. It was founded with the clear intention to promote equality between men and women. The legislator also intended to clearly mark Sweden’s attitude towards buying sex, and hoped that the law would work normative both within and outside the country. Meanwhile, surrogate arrangements have become a growing phenomenon. More and more

Vi genomför en fallstudie av finanskrisen genom åren 2007 t.o.m. 2011 för USA, Storbritannien och Tyskland. Vi utgår ifrån den österrikiska konjunkturcykelteorin och undersöker om teorin rimligen kan förklara händelserna i våra tre utvalda länder. Vi genomför en deduktiv studie där vi extrapolerar fem hypoteser från den österrikiska konjunkturteorin för att se hur väl konjunkturförloppet motsvararWe perform a case study of the financial crisis through the years 2007 - 2011 for USA, Great Britain and Germany.

Aktieägaravtal har stor inverkan på det praktiska företagslivet. Aktieägare kan här på ett hemligt och flexibelt sätt skräddarsy begränsningar för hur aktierna ska kunna överlåtas. För minoritetens del handlar det ofta om att stärka sin ställning gentemot röststarka aktieägare.

This case study examines the reasons for Swedish companies to engage in development issues, such as sustainable development. Taking off in the motivational factors coined by Rettberg (2016) there are three reasons for business to engage in activities outside of their usual business plan. Those are “need”, for instance political stability to be able to enter a new market; “creed”, personal convicti
