The Swedish integration policies rely heavily on the establishment program, a measure taken as a consequence of the high unemployment rate among refugees after the “refugee crisis”. The establishment program aims to tackle the gap in access to the labour market between native-born and refugees through economic imperatives. Civil society organizations step in to provide programs that target refugee

It is described in the preparatory work of the Social Services Act that a reasonable standard of living should be based on the prevailing conditions under which the individual lives. Because there is no specified description of the phrase, this entails interpretability of the phrase and therefore uncertainty about what it infers. The purpose of this study is to analyse the representation of the ph

För att främja den sociala hållbarheten behöver de mänskliga rättigheterna prägla arbetet kring utformningen av samhället. I Sverige upprätthålls detta arbete bl.a. via de Transportpolitiska målen. De transportpolitiska målen tar hänsyn till människors olika funktion och behov, målsättningen strävar efter att uppfylla dessa behov. En del av arbetet kring målsättningen är att göra samhället tiHuman rights need to imprint on the work of shaping society to promote social sustainability. This thinking is established in Sweden via Transport policy goals. The Transport policy goals consider people's different level of function and the different needs and work towards meeting these needs. Part of those goals is to make society accessible and usable for individual contribution in soci

This thesis aims to investigate millennials' experience of environmental documentary films and the experiences relation to the millennials values and mindsets connected to sustainability.

The German meat industry is a popular labour market destination for unskilled Eastern and Middle European workers. The precarious employment and housing conditions, exacerbated by a staggering number of COVID-19 infections, received immense media attention in 2020. Given the urgency of this issue, the German government introduced new measures targeting the sector with special attention paid to sub

En partikelfysikers mål är att beskriva universums minsta beståndsdelar. Den hittills mest framgångsrika modellen i partikelfysik kallas standardmodellen, vilken beskriver tre av de fyra kända krafterna samt alla funna elementarpartiklar. Den sista partikeln, som upptäcktes 2012, är Higgspartikeln. Denna partikel spelar en viktig roll i standardmodellen eftersom den ser till att de andra partiklarIn this bachelor thesis we investigate the gauge sector of a specific composite two-Higgs doublet model, allowing more freedom for the gauge couplings and compositeness scales. From the underlying parameters we generate model realisations with the correct top mass, Higgs mass and electroweak vacuum expectation value, that satisfy theoretical constraints such as unitarity and perturbativity. We als

I samband med covid 19-pandemin tvingades många arbetsplatser under våren 2020 att övergå till distansarbete efter rekommendationer från Folkhälsomyndigheten. Detta har inneburit en omställning för många människor som nu övergått från att jobba på kontor till att arbeta hemifrån. Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie har varit att undersöka hur den påtvingade omställningen till distansarbete har

The aim was to determine the overarching discourses surrounding gender dysphoria, what actors appear in the debate and on what terms, as well as to examine how danger is constructed in the debate. The material for the study consists of 20 opinion based articles from popular ne

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka “hookup-kulturen” eller tillfälliga sexuella förbindelser bland svenska universitetsstudenter. Med self-determination theory och teorin om kognitiv dissonans som grund hypotetiserade vi att ens motivation och attityd till tillfälliga sexuella förbindelser är en avgörande faktor för hur det påverkar självkänslan. I denna studie använde vi ett urval på N=The current study aimed to investigate the phenomenon “hookups”, or casual sex among Swedish university students. With self-determination theory and the cognitive dissonance theory as the foundation we hypothesised that one’s level of motivation and attitude for hooking up would predict how it affects self-esteem. In this study we used a sample of 106 university students who answered a survey with

Men's violence against women, whom they are in a relationship with, is a major social issue in today's society. Previous research has pointed out the extent of domestic violence in intimate relationships. This study aimed to investigate social workers experiences in working with the therapy of male perpetrators. Furthermore, the study aimed to look into how the therapy varies depending on

All around the world is the form of the built environment playing a significant role in either enabling or inhibiting outdoor activities. When it comes to winter and Winter cities, it is a challenge how to enable and encourage outdoor activities and soft mobility as the harsh conditions often make it uncomfortable to spend longer periods of time outdoors. A major urban design challenge in Winter

This thesis focuses on the correlation between the secondary objectives of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the right to a healthy environment. Whereas the primary mandate of the ECB is to maintain price stability, the applicable law also envisages secondary objectives, such as supporting economic growth and sustainable development. In parallel, the ECB continues to support the fossil fuel indu

I detta arbete undersöks skyddszoner intill skyddade områden i skogsmark, hur de kan uppstå, vilken rättslig grund som finns för dessa samt vilka konsekvenser de kan få för fastighetsägare. Arbetet är avgränsat till att undersöka skyddszoner intill naturreservat, nationalparker samt Natura 2000-områden. Naturvård kopplat till äganderätten i skog är idag ett högaktuellt ämne som bland annat resulteThis master thesis aims to investigate buffer zones in forests close to a protected area; how they can occur and what consequences they may have for landowners. Protection of forests due to high nature values is a highly debated topic in Sweden. The debate has led to a governmental investigation concerning the subject. In order to find real cases where a buffer zone has occurred, Swedish authori

Communication research has identified listening as a key skill in the sensemaking process. However, little is known about the practical implementation of listening by practitioners and about its strategic values to the organization. Based on a qualitative case study with practitioners in two Scandinavian contemporary organizations, this study analyses individual micro-practice of listening and its

Uganda’s development-based refugee model is widely recognised as the most progressive in the world by the international community. The model has however come under solid pressure owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, and food insecurity among refugees in the country has become a major problem. This study examines how the pandemic has affected urban and settlement-based refugees’ food security with a par

En bristande närvaro kan för elever komma att innebära en risk för misslyckande i skolan och därmed även till negativa konsekvenser i senare livsskeden. Därför är närvaro en viktig del av elevers skolgång, mer specifikt en viktig förutsättning för en framgångsrik skolgång. Syftet med studien är att undersöka huruvida niondeklassares attityd till skolan samt motivation predicerar deras skolnärvaro A lack of attendance for students may mean a risk of failure inschool and thus also of negative consequences in later stages of life. Therefore, attendance is an important part of students schooling, more specifically an important prerequisite for a successful schooling. The current study aimed to investigate whether ninth-graders’ attitude to school and motivation can predict their school attenda
