Equal participation in safe and decent work is a crucial factor for achieving gender equality. Despite this, gender-based obstacles remain as workplaces often fail to ensure the human rights, health, and general wellbeing of their employees, with menstrual health being an especially neglected aspect of the gendered workplace experience. While menstrual health has gained increased attention over th
The study will deal with the strategies used by the Swedish government and the Public Health Agency (FHM) to control the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Initially, the risk of general transmission was considered low and the strategy was to flatten the curve. However, the Swedish approach was criticized for being unclear and not imposing strict restrictions, while others hailed it as an exemplary mod
What makes something funny? This is the most basic, underlying question to this thesis, which explores the Swedish satire magazines Söndags-Nisse, Naggen and Strix on their journey through the pinnacle of the Swedish democratization process during the years 1918 to 1922. These types of magazines were of great popularity throughout all of Europe during parts of the late 19th century up until the in

These laws require companies to ide
Den svenska migrationsrätten har under de senaste åren genomgått omfattande förändringar präglade av en successivt mer restriktiv reglering. Särskilt efter flyktingströmmen år 2015 har tidsbegränsade uppehållstillstånd kommit att utgöra huvudregel, samtidigt som möjligheterna till individuella undantagsbedömningar, så kallade ventiler, begränsats. I detta sammanhang har fenomenet tonårsutvisningarSwedish migration law has undergone significant changes in recent years, characterized by an increasingly restrictive framework. Particularly following the refugee influx in 2015, temporary residence permits have become the general rule. Meanwhile, the scope for individual humanitarian exemptions, so-called “safety valves”, has gradually been limited. In this context, the phenomenon referred to as
Food can be transformed into data, but it is never only data. This thesis takes the Chinese health and weight management app Boohee as a case study to examine the tension behind its dietary tracking functionality. Rather than evaluating Boohee’ s effectiveness as a health technology, this study frames it as a digital media environment that enables users to record, compare, and self-evaluate dietar

Due to criticism, the sustainability criteria have been re-examined by the EU in the light of Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC). This thesis focuses on the sustainability understanding of the EU on biofuels, through assessing the sustainability criteria in the realms of su

‘Green’ forms of finance are deemed increasingly important in mitigating climate change. Despite growing calls to make financial flows consistent with Paris Agreement goals, to date little is known about the impact of ‘green finance’. Drawing on literature which explores how resources are assembled for investment, this research shifts the focus from financial flows to financial pools. It does so t
This thesis puts the question if the Islamic Association of Sweden (Islamiska förbundet I Sverige) can be considered to be a branch of the global, Islamist movement The Muslim Brotherhood. This question is highly controversial in Swedish political and academic conversation. To answer it, an investigation is carried through of the organization, ideology, and practical politics of the two movements.
Green innovations sometimes have a debatable environmental impact, which could be related to how their adopters use them. This paper examines five factors encompassing a consumer trait of being innovative and various motivations that could help further understand the adoption of controversial green innovations. Mainly, this paper examines the use decision and users' behavioral intentions in two gr
Feedbacks from the climate to other components of the coupled human-Earth system are expected to strongly influence the co-evolution of human society and its environment. Representing these feedback loops between climate and society, via the Earth system's response to human activities and the subsequent effect back onto social systems, is essential in order to fully explore the dynamics of the cou
Purpose:This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of the recirculation of products by empirically exploring, conceptualising and explaining how second-hand goods are made in practices and processes of valuation.Design/methodology/approach: The paper takes a practice theory approach to valuation and draws on an ethnographic study of ReTuna, a second-hand shopping mall, to explore the valua

It investigates how the squares have developed in relation to the practice of shopping and other activities during these decades and concludes with the discussion of a few more recent trends. Starting with the deterioration of the open urban markets, followed by the in
This thesis clarifies and highlights how selected parts of Swedish law in the field of health care relate to different ways of understanding events that have caused or could have caused patient injury: a systems perspective and an individual perspective, respectively. It thus examines how the law and its application relate to conflicts between supporting openness and learning based on a systems pe
