Studien var ämnad att undersöka skillnader i empatisk förmåga utifrån tre nivåer; perspektiv, kön och våldstyp. Tidigare studier visar att kvinnor har en högre empatisk förmåga än män. Samt att allvarlighetsgraden rörande psykiskt våld påverkas beroende på vilket narrativ som används, där tredjehandsperspektivet skapade de främsta förutsättningarna för en träffsäker bedömning. Studien tillämpades This quantitative study was aimed to examine respondents' empathy towards victims of psychological abuse. Furthermore the study’s ambition was to reveal differences in empathy on three levels; gender, perspective and type of violence. Earlier research indicates that women show greater empathic ability than men. Moreover psychological abuse is perceived as more severe when seen from a third per

I samband med den globala uppvärmningen har översvämningar, tropiska cykloner, värmeböljor och extrem torka har blivit allt vanligare världen över. De länder som har störst risk för extrema väderhändelser har minst resurser för att återhämta sig efter dem. Små önationer under utveckling och minst utvecklade länder står i synnerhet inför utmaningar när det gäller att hantera klimatkrisens effekter,The consequences of climate change and increasing disasters jeopardise the livelihoods and resilience of some of the world’s most vulnerable countries. Strengthened international efforts to mobilise and allocate additional climate and disaster resilience financing are required to address the needs of the countries that have least contributed to climate change and who currently are at the forefront

Kenya is one of the world’s nations with the most severe problem of education inequality. Low-cost private schools (LCPS) have therefore become the main access to education for most families at the bottom of the pyramid (BOP), notably in remote and slum areas. In Homa Bay, one of the remote regions in Kenya, over 50 percent of its poor families’ children are attending these LCPS. However, due to s

The migration politics in Sweden have changed drastically within the past years as it has introduced stricter asylum policies and higher securitisation of borders. As a result, an increased number of people are forced to live as undocumented migrants, meaning without a legal permit to stay in the country. This thesis aims to contribute to the analysis of this development by investigating the role

We examine if the relatively large inflow of immigration during the last two decades has affected the Swedish housing market. With the social stigma of expressing anti- immigration sentiments, natives likely vote with their feet to express their preference for homogeneous neighbourhoods. If immigration inflows cause native outflows, the wage gap between them should lower the local aggregate demand

Kan vi bygga nytt av gammalt? För att den byggda miljön ska kunna möta en växande befolkning behöver byggsektorn ta tillvara på de resurser som redan cirkulerar i samhället. För att genomföra detta krävs det en omställning från linjär till cirkulär ekonomi, vars huvudsyfte är att återanvända och återvinna material och produkter. Byggsektorn står för ca en tredjedel av det avfall som uppkommer årA linear consumption model has long operated in several social structures, which is often referred to as the “take-make-waste” model and does not take into account the physical limit of resources. This has become a growing problem, not least in the construction sector as they use more resources and produce more waste than any other industrial sector. An alternative to the linear consumption model

The issues are rather how to remember, who is to remember what, and even why remember such atrocities at all. It is often stated that we have to remember to make sure “it” never happens again. Commemorations da

De sätt som kampanjfilmerna väljer att illustrera lidande och medlidande på får konsekvenser för hur betraktarna
