Adverse consequences of global climate change increasingly affect society and economic performance. Climate finance structure supports mitigation and adaptation actions that address climate change. Developing economies are adopting climate adaptation measures to cope with the current climate situation and simultaneously promote sustainable development. The interrelation between climate adaptation

Abstract: The FIFA World Cup, together with the Summer Olympic Games, are the two events classified as sports mega-events (SMEs), characterized by their global outreach and different types of costs. Within the SME realm, a paradoxical trend can be seen; they show stronger sustainability agendas, yet generate higher social, economic, and environmental costs. The overarching question is their legaci

This study investigates volatility spillover between the prices of electricity at Nord Pool, carbon emission allowances in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and tradable green certificates (TGC) in the Swedish-Norwegian TGC market. ETS and TGC schemes are market-based policies with the overlapping goals of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and stimulating sustainable energy investments. A

Den svenska lagstiftaren har fastslagit att handeln med människor för sexuellt ändamål är en cynisk och lukrativ verksamhet där sårbara barn och kvinnor från fattiga länder utnyttjas hänsynslöst. Genom människohandel berövas individen möjligheten att åtnjuta de mest grundläggande mänskliga rättigheterna till frihet och liv. Offret för människohandel omvandlas under förövarens fullständiga kontrollThe Swedish legislature has decided that sex trafficking is a cynical and lucrative enterprise where vulnerable women and children from poorer countries are ruthlessly exploited. Sex trafficking strips the individual of the chance to enjoy even the most fundamental rights, such as freedom and the right to life. While under the influence of the perpetrator, the victims of sex trafficking are transf

The number of people escaping from wars and conflicts to European welfare states is increasing. Many of them are children; some come as unaccompanied minors (UMs), fleeing without parents or any other responsible family member, entering and living in the country of refuge on their own. The “United Nations” (UN) and its “Convention on the Rights of the Child” from 1989 secures them special protecti

This thesis aims to study how voluntarily childfree women express identity in a Swedish society defined by pronatalist norms. Previous research has portrayed childfree individuals as marginalized, stigmatized, and even as an invisible group in Western society. The purpose of this study is to explore evolving narratives by analysing voluntarily childfree women's expression and construction of i

Diskriminering, trakasserier och kränkande särbehandling Alla möten mellan anställda och studenter ska präglas av ömsesidig respekt och det råder nolltolerans mot diskriminering och övrig kränkande särbehandling. Studenter omfattas av arbetsmiljölagen och har rätt till en god arbetsmiljö, både fysiskt och psykosocialt. Det är rektorn vid din skola som har ansvaret för din arbetsmiljö. Om du känner

The addition of Cr is known to work as an effective prevention against oxidation in Fe-based alloys. This can be attributed to the peripheral oxide, the structure of which is dependent on the composition of the alloy. Using Molecular Dynamic (MD) calculations with a Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF) potential, we successfully identify several oxide structures arising during initial oxide formation in

The Academic Profession in Swedish HigherEducation: Continuity and Change in the New CenturyThe purpose of this article is to describe the composition and internal stratification of the university teaching staff at Swedish higher education institutions. We show that four fault lines shape the higher education field in the 21st century. These are, firstly, the resource hierarchies both between old

More than a decade ago the WHO Health Promoting Hospitals project was initiated in order to support hospitals towards placing greater emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention, rather than on diagnostic and curative services alone. Twenty hospitals in eleven European countries participated in the European pilot project from 1993 to 1997. Since then, the International Network of Health Pr

This article reports the result of a survey designed to investigate the degree of uncertainty by which a representative sample of Swedish households hold their perceptions and expectations of inflation. The public displays hardly any uncertainty concerning the direction of change of the price level as measured by the ratio of ‘don’t know’ answers.

When the coronavirus spread globally in early 2020, many governments issued national lock downs of schools, institutions, and businesses. As the epidemic turned into a pandemic, the health crisis also became a societal crisis, and many universities and research foundations issued COVID-19 grants to study the societal implications of the crisis. In this article, we discuss sociological research dur
