Under the Sign of Regret focuses on aesthetically mediated responses to regret. It interrogates the qualities of the feeling of regret as well as what is produced under its influence (as objects and as experiences).

BackgroundIn light of the opioid epidemic in the United States, there is growing concern about the use of opioids in Sweden as it may lead to misuse and overuse and, in turn, severe public health problems.

De svenska utbildningsmyndigheterna står inför ett seglivat problem. Lärare har under många år uttryckt missnöje över alltmer utbredda och genomgripande krav på dokumentation. En hel del dokumentation stjäl tid som annars skulle kunna läggas på elevers lärande och att utveckla undervisningen, lyder klagomålen. Under de senaste 15 åren har olika svenska regeringar försökt åtgärda detta problem, menThe Swedish education authorities are up against a tenacious problem. Teachers have for years expressed dissatisfaction over increasingly prolific and pervasive demands for documentation that hijacks time that could have been invested in pupils’ learning.

Sweden’s civil society is changing. The democratic civil organization, a symbol of the ideologically intertwined popular movement with its historical strive toward the welfare state, is increasingly adopting the concepts, resources and organizational models of the corporation. By challenging the member-run and altruistic ideals of the civil sector the process of corporatization is perceived as a t

This master’s thesis focuses on the experiences of retired public librarians in relation to their professional life. The public library as an institution and the librarian profession have to this day gone through many changes, and a high level of research has been conducted regarding this. Yet, there is a lack of perspective from those who have actually lived through and during these changes. Base

While the government of Hong Kong has acknowledged the need to increase renewable energy contributions in its fuel mix, the implementation of renewable energy projects in the region is constrained by complex topography and limited land availability. To overcome these challenges, a pragmatic solution is devised through the use of a site suitability analysis which expedites the identification of

Vatten är en livsnödvändig resurs såväl för människor som för miljön. Globalt är vattenresurser under ökad belastning vilket resulterar i vattenbrist lokalt. Skillnaden mellan ökande vattenbehov och den naturliga gränsen för tillgången av sötvatten utmanar myndigheterna att hitta lösningar som uppfyller samhälleliga och ekonomiska intressen utan att äventyra miljöinverkan. Vattenproduktion, flöde Water is an essential resource for humans as well as the environment and water resources globally are under increasing pressure resulting in local conditions of water scarcity. The tension between increasing water demands and the natural limit to freshwater supply challenges authorities to find solutions that fulfil societal demands and economic purposes without compromising environmental integrit

This Bachelor’s thesis aims to understand how symbolic boundaries between Palestinian refugee camps and neighbouring urban neighbourhoods are constructed and maintained.

Organiserad brottslighet har under de senaste åren varit en viktig kriminalpolitisk fråga och är det än idag. Media rapporterar frekvent om skjutningar kopplade till hämndaktioner i den kriminella miljön, problem i de utsatta områdena, mord som inte går att klara upp samt företag som förskingrat miljonbelopp. Det ska nämnas att den organiserade brottsligheten har bytt skepnad genom tiderna.
