Cannabis use and policies have been a subject of Swedish and global political discourse. Cannabis is the most prevalent drug in Sweden, and social workers have an important role in the care of people who use it. Media constructions as well as prohibition-based political ambitions have stigmatizing and marginalizing consequences for this user group. Studies regarding Swedish social work students
This study aimed to investigate how over-indebtedness varied between Swedish municipalities in relation to socioeconomic factors and municipal type. It is based on the theoretical framework that over-indebtedness is to be understood as a structural problem related to economic inequality, transformations in welfare, and the expansion of the credit market. The study is constructed to show over-indeb
Urban water bodies are often affected by multiple pollutants that reduce water quality. Malmö Canal is an urban waterbody with high recreational value and potential for future bathing. However, its water quality is affected by ongoing discharges and historical contamination remaining in the sediments. Despite growing interest in making the canal suitable for bathing, there is no combined assessmen
The southern coastline of the Falsterbo peninsula relies entirely on natural sand dunes as defense against coastal flooding. In October 2023, storm Babet caused severe dune erosion, consequently weakening the dunes protective ability. This thesis analyzes the post storm recovery of these dunes via aeolian sediment transport and investigates the underlying factors driving spatial variations in reco

The decision-making process on land use in Gállok between 2013 and 2022 represents an intense political and societal debate on mining, ‘green transition’, Indigeneity and environmentalism. Children have expressed their views throughout this process and have based on article 12(1) UN Convention on the Rights of the Child a right to so. However, whether children are heard and to what extent their ri
This chapter focuses on a specific kind of governance namely sustainability governance. Combatting climate change and social inequalities calls for governance systems specifically directed to corporate sustainability.

With this audio paper, our aim is to explore the connection between sound and democracy. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of this field, we approach it through the notion of care and an empirical analysis of the democratic implications of trying to regulate sound in public spaces. We examine ISO standards as one example of the many attempts to control sound in both public and private spaces. St
This paper introduces an addressability logic for crafting research contributions to advance scientific and societal impact in marketing and consumer research. For research to be meaningful we ask: for whom? Using rhetorical audience analysis, we examine 80 interpretivist articles in four journals over twenty years to identify their intended addressees. We identify four audience categories along aThis paper introduces an addressability logic for crafting research contributions to advance scientific and societal impact in marketing and consumer research.

What is it about trees? These creatures, so vital to our survival, have followed human beings since we first sprung from this earth. The Gospel of Trees is an essay about a wooded landscape where all sorts of limbs move around, a landscape that is at once well-known and wondrous. Church historian Thomas Arentzen wanders through forests, reads poetry, climbs trees, explores leaves of scripture, and
Denna artikel analyserar Arbetsdomstolens användning av förhandsavgöranden från EU-domstolen under perioden 2020–2025 och diskuterar domstolens skyldighet enligt artikel 267 FEUF att hänskjuta EU-rättsliga tolkningsfrågor till Luxemburg. Utgångspunkten är den återkommande kritiken mot svenska domstolars, och särskilt Arbetsdomstolens, restriktiva hållning till förhandsavgöranden. Författarna argum
The possibilities and constraints of spatial planning tracks closely with the scalar politics of the legal instruments planners can work with. In Sweden, planning has relentlessly focused on and taken place at the municipal scale. Regional, national and transnational tools have been largely been used by planners in improvised and non-statutory ways, and been the domain of other forms of politics a
We study intertemporal hedging of parameter risk in a continuous-time portfolio problem with stochastic investment opportunities. Under Brownian uncertainty, we derive conditions under which an optimal expected power-utility strategy has a maximal instantaneous Sharpe ratio, or equivalently is a Kelly strategy. In general, the optimal power-utility strategy is not a Kelly strategy, because it cont
This study examines how business angels learn from entrepreneurs through a social cognitive learning lens. Based on qualitative interviews with 20 angels investing in green start-ups—a context marked by complexity due to its nascent, knowledge-intense, and dynamic nature—we explore learning as a socially embedded and temporal process. The findings show that angels, motivated by business and purpos
Business leaders increasingly face decisions that are not just technical or financial but deeply philosophical. Questions about what a company is for, what counts as reliable knowledge, and what responsibilities organizations owe customers, employees, and society now shape strategy as much as markets or technology. Yet most executives have never been trained to think explicitly about these issues.
