The informal sector is often seen as one sector with the potentials to transform the economies of developing countries if well harnessed. This is particularly true in the case of Nigeria where the informal sector creates employment opportunity for a large number of the labor force compared to the formal sector economy. However, it is also pertinent to bear in mind that the informal sector is often
The unsustainable use of wild meat undermines efforts of many cornerstones of global sustainable development, from climate change mitigation to poverty and hunger reduction. We investigate how the indigenous communities of La Pedrera, in the Amazonian region of Colombia, utilise their local ecosystem for the harvesting of wild meat. We find that it likely acts as safety net and a safeguard against
As terrorism after the 9/11 attacks has emerged as one of the most important threats to international security, the political discourse used by world leaders regarding the topic is becoming more and more essential to study. One way to do this is by using securitization theory, which helps us understand how something becomes a security issue, and how security threats are socially constructed throug
The aim of this study is to investigate the current leadership style and the organisational climate at the LFV in Sturup. To assess the leadership style the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) by Bass (1985) was used. The organisational climate was measured with the GEFA developed by Ekvall (1986). The participants of the survey were employees from all departments of the airport, but no lea
Abstract The ESSSB (European Spallation Source Neutrino Super beam) is a proposed long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, intended to use the same proton accelerator as the European Spallation Source. With the pro- posed modications to the accelerator both ESSSB and the ESS would achieve a beam power of 5 MW. This power, in conjunction with the dis- covery of a large value of the mixing ang
The debt to disposable income ratio of Swedish households has the past thirty years increased radically and mortgages cover eighty percent of household’s financial liabilities. According to the Life-cycle hypothesis, households maintain a steady consumption throughout their lifetime by accumulating mortgages in early ages with the aim to repay their debts when their economy becomes stronger as the
Walkability is often researched from the perspective of certain physical features in the built environment. However, for this paper, the point of departure was to also treat walking as a transport mode for reaching destinations and performing every-day activities. A conceptual model addressing both perceptions of the built environment and perceived limits due to every-day activities was used as a
Using Jacques Lacan’s theories of subjectivity, this dissertation analyses the relationships between the ideal selves and the romantic desires of characters in Alice Walker’s The Color Purple, Alasdair Gray’s Poor Things and Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondous Life of Oscar Wao. Lacan argues that there is an inherent lack in all human beings, stemming from incompleteness and early helplessness, and emp
Familjeterapi är en vanlig behandlingsform för unga med anorexia nervosa. Att behandla flera familjer samtidigt, genom multifamiljebehandling, är dock relativt nytt i Sverige. Det fanns därför behov av att utvärdera deltagarnas egna upplevelser av själva behandlingen. Examensarbetet bestod av två studier. Studie 1 baserades på viktuppgifter för 72 patienter och självrapporterade data om anorektisFamily therapy is a well-known treatment for adolescents suffering from anorexia nervosa. Treating several families simultaneously through multifamily therapy, is relatively new in Sweden. This study evaluates the treatment model behind multifamily therapy as it’s practiced at Region Skånes Eating disorder Center Children and Adolescents (RSÄ-BU) and at Stockholms Center for eating disorders (SCÄ)
The thesis engages in a comparative analysis of the involvement of National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) in the UN and the African human rights systems. Thus, the thesis seeks to answer the question: What lessons can be drawn from the system of the involvement of NHRIs in the UN Human rights system to that of the African human rights system? Assuming that the UN system is far more developed a
In ordinary public rooms such as classrooms and offices, the base line of acoustical treatment is an absorbent suspended ceiling. Due to the non-uniform distribution of the absorptive ceiling material, the scattering as well as the absorption properties of furniture will have a significant effect on room acoustic parameters such as reverberation time, speech clarity and sound strength. In particul
As democratic transitions and social movements become more complex, there is a need to rethink the transition paradigm through the lens of intersectional solidarity. By applying a qualitative approach based on elite interviews and a category-based content analysis, this thesis examines the potential of the Women Life Freedom protests in Iran for democratization. In Iran, the protesting women and t
In October 2022, the Soulèvements de la Terre and other environmental movements demonstrated against the project of the megabasins in Sainte Soline, France. Following violent clashes between activists and security forces, the Minister of the Interior declared the activists' actions as ecoterrorism. As a consequence, terrorism rhetoric in relation to environmental activists entered French publi
The relationship between the stock market and the condition of a country’s economy is a relevant topic in the recent economic and financial studies. Therefore, the purpose of our thesis is to investigate in finding long-term and short-term relationships between the stock market and macroeconomic variables in the three Baltic countries and compare the results with three more economically developed
Context. β Pictoris is a young nearby system hosting a well-resolved edge-on debris disk, along with at least two exoplanets. It offers key opportunities for carrying out detailed studies of the evolution of young planetary systems and their shaping soon after the end of the planetary formation phase. Aims. We analyzed high-contrast coronagraphic images of this system, obtained in the mid-infrared
Den här artikeln granskar subskriptionerne på Markusevangeliet i 157 grekiska handskrifter, och noterar deras gradvisa utveckling från att vara identisk med titeln i den tidigaste fasen till att bli mer och mer utarbetad och betydelsefull för tolkningshistorien. Tidigt, vilket återspeglas i titeln, förknippades det andra evangeliet med Markus, känd för att vara Petrus lärjunge och tolk. Under det This article surveys the subscriptions to the Gospel of Mark in 157 Greek manuscripts, noting their gradual development from being identical to the title in the earliest phase to becoming more and more elaborate and significant for the history of interpretation. Early on, as reflected in the title, the Second Gospel was associated with Mark, known to be Peter’s disciple and interpreter. In the fou
