The unique character of this consumption practice suggests a shift in the idea of private ownership, where accessing products becomes more important than own

Kvinnor har låtit utföra abort under alla tider. Under merparten av historiens gång har ingreppet emellertid behandlats som ett samhälleligt tabu och var därför olagligt i flertalet länder fram till mitten på 1900-talet. Den sexuella revolutionen under 1960- och 1970-talet, i kombination med stora vetenskapliga framsteg på området för mänsklig reproduktion, har kommit att spela en avgörande roll fWomen have performed abortions during all times. For most of history abortion, however, has been treated as a social taboo and was therefore illegal in most countries until the mid 1900’s. The sexual revolution during the 1960’s and 1970’s, combined with major scientific advances in the field of human reproduction, has come to play a critical role in a changed view of the role of women in society.

Godstransporter fyller en central roll i det industrialiserade och globaliserade samhället. I takt med att den globala handeln har ökat har en ökad efterfråga på transporter drivits fram. Trots att transporter bidrar till ekonomiska och sociala fördelar världen över står transportbranschen inför flertalet hållbarhetsrelaterade problem där godstransporter har identifierats som ett av de största hotEffective freight transportation is a central part of the modern society, creating social and economic benefits. Nevertheless, the logistics industry is facing substantial sustainability challenges, where freight transports have been identified as the main environmental hazard. Scholars have previously highlighted the centrality of the purchasing process for reducing the environmental impact of th

I denna text presenteras en kvalitativ intervjustudie baserad på utsagor från tio informanter med utgångspunkt i hur kriminella nätverk har förändrats. Forskning har visat att Sverige är unikt vad gäller ökningen av skjutvapenvåld. Den grupp som står för majoriteten av våldet är unga män. Den organiserade brottsligheten har genomgått en förändring från MC-gängens tydliga organisationsstruktur och

The district Lillåudden, located next to Lake Mälaren in Västerås is one of many exploited waterfront areas in the 2000s. The flood risk in Mälaren is expected to decrease with the remodeling of Slussen in Stockholm, however there is great uncertainty regarding the relationship between land uplift and sea level rise in the next century due to global warming. This leads to concerns about future flo

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka vad som får svenska pensionärer att migrera till Costa del Sol och hur det påverkar deras uppfattning om deras existentiella hälsa som uttryckt i mening-i-livet, sammanhang och tillit. Uppsatsen bygger på ett två veckor långt fältarbete, med observationer, samtal och ett kort frågeformulär. Den övergripande forskningsfrågan är hur migrationen har påvThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate what makes Swedish retirees migrate to Costa del Sol and how it affects their perception of their Existential Health as expressed in Meaning-in-life, Coherence and Trust, building on a two-week fieldwork, with observations, free conversations, and a short questionnaire. The overall research question is how the migration has influenced retiree’s percepti

This paper examines how the Faroese and their pilot whaling practice, called grindadráp, is affected by global marine pollution. By analyzing how the Faroese have reacted to the fact that the pilot whale meat and blubber is polluted, and comparing these reactions with a similar case from Norway, it becomes clear that global marine pollution has paralyzed the Faroese response to the issue. The Faro

This thesis has sought to understand what has governed China’s behavior towards North Korea along with what keeps China aligned with North Korea, how the US is influencing Sino-North Korean relations and if China has been increasingly critical of North Korea in the light of its nuclear tests in 2006, 2009, 2013, 2016, 2017, the sinking of the Cheonan and the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island. A theore

This thesis analyzed the portrayal of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in South Korea by “The Korea Times” and the “Global Times," focusing on its political, economic, and cultural implications. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) within Fairclough's three-dimensional framework, it examined how these newspapers depict THAAD and its broader impacts. The research f

Currently, many Global South countries face an unprecedented debt crisis with large portions of their spending going to debt repayments. This financial restrain hinders their capacity to address basic needs and ecological challenges, particularly as climate change exacerbates vulnerabilities. To provide a solution for this, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) launched their Nature Bonds Program aimed at

This thesis uses norm research and a developed theoretical framework to find the ‘climate policy norm’ that affects and creates the argumentation for the European Commission's climate policy measures, and puts it on the life cycle of norms for the years 2019 and 2024. Through a comparative discourse analysis and qualitative data study, this paper develops the theoretical understanding of norm

This thesis analyses collective memory in Contemporary Asian Societies through historical movies. It takes a borderless approach to infer the perception of the past in the Asian continent, filling the gap in a field mostly dominated by case studies. Asian historical movies are used as the data source of the analysis, following the historiophoty framework designed by White(1988) and Rosenstone (198

This thesis aims to explain the rise of CSR and the increasing private sector strategies within foreign aid in Sweden. The theoretical approach is grounded in three hypotheses that could explain the rise of this I) that the global idea on a changed role for business has fostered the development II) that it is due to a conservative more pro-business government in power or III) that it is a developm

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur svenska konsumenter mellan 18 år och äldre förhåller sig till hållbara last mile-leveranser vid användandet av e-handel, för att med utgångspunkt i konsumenternas värdeskapande använda detta som underlag för huruvida teorin om the seven rights of logistics borde uppdateras för att inkludera ett bredare hållbarhetstänk.
