Tenant electricity is heralded as a model that could accelerate the urban energy transition in Germany. The hopes are especially high in the city-state of Berlin.

Advancing digitisation affects all areas of life, including activism and political participation. While the internet has long been seen as a way of democratising society and its systems, in recent years more and more critical voices opposing this view have been raised. One of the main criticisms is that the low-threshold opportunities for participation offered by digital media lead to slacktivist
The aim of this study was to investigate the social worker's role and vision in the work with children and families who have a different language background. Social workers with families with several languages have expanded in Sweden in recent years, and that's why I think it is an interesting subject to study. I study about what room for maneuver they have in the meeting with the families

Uppsatsens mål är att utifrån ett feministiskt och postkolonialt perspektiv belysa den diskursiva konceptualisering av integration som artikuleras i jämlikhetskommissionens betänkande. Vidare är målet att undersöka vilka idéer om det svenska medborgarskapet som betänkandets konceptualisering av integration bygger på och ger upphov till. Genom att belysa och undersöka detta ämnar uppsatsen begripliThis master thesis in gender studies analyses how integration and Swedish citizenship are conceptualised in the official governmental report A Common Concern (SOU 2020:46), written by the Commission on Equality.

There have been several theories conducted regarding the relationship between digitalization level and environmental sustainability process concerning the small and medium sized enterprises.

Hemlig övervakning är något som myndigheter uppskattar i sitt arbete mot brottslighet, men den kan även vara problematisk då den hamnar i konflikt med det grundläggande fri- och rättigheter som omfattar skyddet av den enskildes integritet. Bakgrunden i uppsatsen redogör för den personliga integriteten med koppling till lagar om tvångsmedel och därefter presenteras maktteorin utifrån Foucaults makt
