Denna studie utforskar de potentiella hoten mot maskulinitet som uppfattas i samhällen med hög könsjämlikhet och undersöker om sådana hot kan kopplas till en ökning av incel (ofrivilligt celibat) karaktärsdrag bland den manliga befolkningen. Forskningen använder en kvantitativ metod med två experimentella villkor: ett med en hög jämställdhet och ett med en låg jämställdhet, som skildrar kontrasterThis study explores the potential threats to masculinity perceived in societies with a high gender equality and examines whether such threat can be linked to an increase in involuntary celibate (incel) traits among the male population in. The research employs a quantitative methodology with two experimental conditions: one featuring a high equal scenario and another a low equal scenario, depicting

Uppsatsen undersöker dels förhållandet mellan behovs- och försäkringsprin-cipen i förslagen till 1913 års lag om allmän pensionsförsäkring, dels den syn på rätten som juristerna i riksdagsdebatten hade. Undersökningen går direkt till primärkällorna och både förslagen och kammardebatterna undersöks ifrån ett rättshistoriskt perspektiv. Uppsatsen redogör för de från detta perspektiv sett relevanta dThe essay examines both the relationship between the principle of need and the insurance principle within the draft law for the 1913 pensions act and the view of the law held by the legal practitioners within the parliament.

Återbruk innebär att material och produkter återanvänds. Detta skiljer sig från återvinning genom att minimera ingrepp och bevara produkter innan de omvandlas till avfall. Återbruk i byggsektorn kan omfatta material som takpannor, skivor, betong, tegel, dörrar och fönster. För att möjliggöra återbruk finns metoder såsom att skydda material från påfrestningar, välja standardstorlekar, dokumentera mReuse involves reusing materials and products before they become waste. This differs from recycling by minimizing intervention and preserving products prior to their conversion into waste. Reuse in the building sector can include materials such as roof tiles, boards, concrete, bricks, doors, and windows.
