The base (BOP) and the top (TOP) of the world income pyramid represent the poor people and the people from developed countries, respectively. About two-fifths of the world population can be categorized as poor. Poverty is a trap because children born to poor parents are likely to grow up to be poor adults. In recent years, a poverty reduction approach that combines business development with povert

Why should we teach tourism at universities?This presentation targets the question of why tourism should be part of university education. Presently, this is questioned by colleagues in traditional academic disciplines as well as by parts of the tourism industry, which are somewhat reluctant to employ people with a university degree. It is thus time for this matter to be raised. If we are to answer

Popular Abstract in Swedish I allt större grad har effektivitetsbegreppet kommit i fokus i samhällsomvandlingen. I huvudsak utgår vi från att effektivitet i första hand är liktydigt med ekonomisk effektivitet. Existensen av en slags övergripande, ekonomisk "rationalitet", tas för given och har närmast karaktären av naturlag eller central, samhällelig grundbult. Under det senaste decenniet har omfaThe study takes as its starting point the far-reaching organizational changes that have occurred within the public sector in Sweden, particularly the public health care sector, during the last decade. The aim of achieving efficacy has been an important driving force in these processes, which often concern mergers or reductions in personnel that are regarded as a route to success. Paradoxically, Sw

Boende baserat på delningsekonomi har blivit ett allt vanligare inslag både internationellt och på den svenska bostadsmarknaden. Tidiga former av delningsekonomi på bostadsmarknaden är Couchsurfing och AirBnB som skapat möjligheter för privatpersoner att hyra ut sina boenden när de står tomma. Idag är två mer permanenta exempel co-living och co-housing där hyresgäster utan tidigare relation till vSharing economy in housing is becoming more and more common both internationally and on the Swedish housing market. Examples of sharing economy in housing include co-living and co-housing, where tenants with no previous relationship to each other have their private rooms or apartments but share large common areas. These concepts have likely emerged due to high rental prices in city centres, social

Arbetet utreder faderskapspresumtionen och närliggande rättsområden. Syftet med detta är att granska presumtionen och utvärdera om denna är att anse fyll-ler sitt syfte. Detta görs genom att analysera såväl hur det sett ut historiskt som att konstatera hur den gällande rätten ser ut. Detta har även ställts emot de intressen som finns i samhället, hos föräldrarna samt principen om barnets bästa. HThe project audits the presumption of fatherhood in the Swedish legal system and related legal areas. This is done to evaluate if the presumption is fulfilling its purpose. To achieve this a thorough analysis of the subject is conducted. The history of the legal area is explored, and the applicable law is reviewed.

The cellphone footage of Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old white man in his twenties, choking the life out of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old Black man, in a New York City subway car during the summer of 2023 made headlines around the globe. The story took off in part because it was identified by the press as existing within the long history of American vigilantism, one that dates to the very founding of th

Det svenska skattesystemet skiljer mellan olika inkomstslag som beskattas olika. Tanken när systemet infördes var att det skulle kompensera för t.ex. inflationen och att det faktiskt beskattade värdet därigenom skulle bli detsamma. Så blev inte fallet och det är idag mycket lukrativare att föra ut vinst ur bolag genom utdelning än lön. Eftersom skatterättsliga bestämmelser anknyter till civilrätThe Swedish tax system distinguishes between different types of income and taxes them differently. The idea when the system was introduced was that it would compensate for e.g. inflation so that the actual taxation would be the same. However, it didn’t work out and today it is much more lucrative to bring out profits from companies through dividends than wages. Because tax law provisions are link

In Northern Swedish, personal proper names are traditionally introduced by a morphologically distinct definite article, most known as the preproprial article (PPA). The use of the article in contemporary Swedish dialects is obscure, as research on the topic is scarce and mainly based on antiquated data. For some dialects, PPAs are occasionally said to be restricted to names of people personally kn

This thesis explores the anti-media populist discourse of the current Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, with which he harshly targets Slovak mainstream media to delegitimize them and their critical reporting. This practice, which Fico has been engaging in for many years, was originally considered problematic mainly due to its potentially detrimental consequences for trust in the media among many

Racial discrimination is a highly topical and burning issue, of special interest in working life. Most researchers agree on that discrimination is a problem in the Swedish labour market. To counteract the ongoing discrimination, a new Anti-Discrimination Act was founded in 1999. The Racial Discrimination Act although appears to be ineffective on the basis of legal usage. Of all the legal cases abo

Avhandlingen närmar sig frågan om hur journalistiska praktiker underlättar konstruktionen av kändisstatus. Teoretiskt uppfattas kändisskap som en särskilt flytande form av social status baserat på medierad uppmärksamhet och engagemang. Journalistik studeras som en invitation att dela upplevelser, organiserade utifrån narrativa strukturer. De empiriska fallen som studeras i avhandlingen är två mång
