The Zapatista movement is a multilayered movement fighting unequal power structures and oppression. The movement has from the beginning incorporated a large number of women, both as members and as supporters. However, does the Zapatista movement recognize the multiple axes of oppression that women within the movement face? The aim of this thesis is to uncover how the theoretical ideas behind the c

The following study concerns the effects that lies behind accounting offenses. Accounting offenses is an important subject to study due to its wide spread throughout and great effect on society. More then 12 000 cases of accounting offenses were reported in Sweden during 2016 alone. The study’s main task was to identify social and normative relations that affect the actors’ actions in the business

One of the larger changes in society that affected individual’s lives during the 20th century is the increase in divorce rates that happened in almost all industrialized countries. It went from being an uncommon feature reserved for the rich to a prominent part of family-life. The increase occurred against the backdrop of economic growth and the industrialization. This study constructs a data set

Following the Arab Spring uprisings, Tunisia remains the only country in the region that has managed to protect a fragile yet successful democratization process.

Drastic emission-reductions are needed to avoid the disastrous consequences of climate change. Flying is one of the highest individual carbon-impact actions. By 2050, the aviation industry’s share on global greenhouse gas emissions is expected to rise by 300 to 700%. An intervention to counteract this development is to reduce flying at universities as they have a critical role in leading sustainab

Saudi Arabia constitutes an interesting paradox regarding female labour force participation. Despite high living standards and education levels among women, Saudi Arabia has the largest gender employment gap in the world. The Saudi government addresses this issue in the recently launched National Development Plan Vision 2030 which aims to reconstruct the economy in order to decrease the kingdom’s

When the Act on System of choice was implemented on the Swedish homecare market in 2009, there seemed to be an assumed understanding that by increasing competition on the eldercare market through privatization it would create better opportunities for women. Entrepreneurship was phrased as a solution for empowering and emancipating women in breaking out from a fixed role in low-status professions.

Den här uppsatsen behandlar förväntningarna på framtiden vid årsskiftena under åren 1880-1914 i sex svensk-amerikanska veckotidningar. Med utgångspunkt i Reinhart Kosellecks teori om begreppsparet erfarenhetsrum och förväntningshorisont samt skiftet från det cykliska perspektivet till det lineära perspektivet som beskrivs av Lennart Lundmark undersöks hur förväntningar och erfarenheter förändras u

The effective width model was introduced to show how the flow was linearly proportional to the effective width on stairwells accounting for the edge effect as well as lateral body sway. In this sense, small increments on the width of the stairwell were proven to increment the flow through it in a linear manner. This same principle is currently applied as part of the background for the hydraulic ca

This paper deals with the impact of China on Ukraine and Argentina in relation to their agricultural sector. Both countries are oriented towards export of commodities as a driver for their economic growth. Based on several data sources from world renowned organizations, a comparative analysis is conducted to study the positive and negative effect from the growing relationship of Ukraine and Argent

In the past 30 years, the Chinese government has promoted ownership reform and corporate governance reform to improve the performance of SOEs. Simultaneously, China has come to the era of MOEs.

Musikteori har alltid varit ett av mina stora intressen. Sedan min gymnasietid har jag intresserat mig för hur undervisningen bedrivs och vilka utvecklingsmöjligheter som finns i ämnet gehörs- och musiklära. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur musikelever vid estetiska programmet uppfattar undervisningen i kursen gehörs- och musiklära 1 samt hur eleverna skulle vilja förändra undervisningenMusic theory has always been one of my great interests. Since my studies in high school I have been interested in how the education is conducted and what opportunities for development there is in the field of music theory education. This study aims at examining how music students experience the education they get in music theory as well as how they would like to change the education. The study was

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the effects on the elements of a company’s brand identity when a firm is moving towards a customer-centric orientation by engaging in the process of servitization. By utilizing a single case study, we aspire to examine how the servitization elements portray the servitization level, as well as which elements of the Corporate Brand Identity Matrix are affecte

Syftet med studien är att undersöka om insulinpumpsbehandling (CSII) är kostnadseffektiv i jämförelse med intensiv injektionsbehandling (MDI) vid diabetes typ-1 enligt svenska riktlinjer. Förhoppningen är att undersökningen ska inspirera framtida studier samt bidra med kunskap inom aktuellt område. Den tidigare hälsoekonomiska forskning som ligger till grund för denna studie jämför CSII med MDI g

Since the 1980s, the Arctic has experienced an amplified warming of more than twice the rate of the global-mean, leading to large-scale changes in the Arctic hydrologic system, ultimately having cascading feedbacks on the global climate. However, few of today’s distributed models manage to capture the complex processes in Arctic hydrology, and therefore, the aim of this thesis was to evaluate the

Denna uppsats ämnar att genom en kvalitativ metod undersöka hierarkier inom sjukvården för att bidra med en mer nyanserad förståelse om hierarkins betydelse för ledarskapsprocessen, det vill säga hur ledarskap konstrueras. För att komma åt fenomenet om hierarkier inom sjukvården har djupintervjuer med sjuksköterskor gjorts eftersom de tycks befinna sig i mitten av det hierarkiska systemet. Det emp

Since the first observations of exoplanets, planet-planet scattering has been proposed as a possible mechanism for exciting the eccentricities and inclinations of giant exoplanets. Many works have showed that indeed the ob
