Den 1 augusti 2009 infördes ett antal lagändringar som syftade till att underlätta för utbyggnaden av vindkraft i Sverige. För att få lov att bygga vindkraft kunde det före lagändringarna krävas både tillstånd enligt miljöbalken och bygglov enligt plan- och bygglagen för ett och samma projekt. En vindkraftsetablering kunde alltså bli föremål för s.k. dubbelprövning, och lagändringarna syftade till
In Sweden opinions are strongly divided on the issue of integration. In a study from 2007 four parallel discourses on integration in the Swedish debate were identified. They are labeled the liberal-, the social democratic-, the structural discrimination discourse and finally a discourse of assimilation. A fifth is discussed briefly – the critical humanist position. In this report I take a closer l
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avfallshantering ägnas nuförtiden ett ökande intresse. Detta verk syftar till att analysera hur vanligt förekommande företagsekonomiska modeller och metoder liksom principen om att förorenaren betalar (The "Polluter-Pays Principle" (PPP)), generellt kan appliceras på management av avfallshantering och specifikt på segregering av olika avfallsfraktioner i syfte att medgeIncreased attention is nowadays devoted to waste management. The objective of this work is to analyse how commonly known business economic models and methods, as well as the Polluter-Pays Principle, can be applied to waste management in general and to waste fractionation in particular, so as to facilitate environmental optimisation of industrial and construction waste fractionation. In discussing
Reaching consensus about sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) has never been easy on the international arena. The United Nations Population Fund and several women rights movements across the world are the leading actors in promoting SRHR. At the same time as progress for world with a universal implementation is being made, oppositional forces against SRHR are on the rise. The focus of

Samarbete och teamkänsla är vanliga begrepp på många arbetsplatser oavsett bransch. Aktörerna i byggbranschen är inte kända för att vara några pionjärer inom detta område utan branschen har historiskt sett snarare beskrivits som konservativ och konfliktfylld, vilket bidragit till att försämra byggbranschens rykte. En förändring håller på att ske, att olika aktörer kan jobba tillsammans för att nå
Gender equality (GE) is one of Sweden’s three thematic prioritizations in foreign aid and have so been since 2007. Gender equality is emphasized as important for development and as a question in which Sweden has added value in promoting. The thesis examines what type of gender equality Sweden promotes in development cooperation with nine African countries and how it has changed in the country and
The number of people escaping from wars and conflicts to European welfare states is increasing. Many of them are children; some come as unaccompanied minors (UMs), fleeing without parents or any other responsible family member, entering and living in the country of refuge on their own. The “United Nations” (UN) and its “Convention on the Rights of the Child” from 1989 secures them special protecti
Upplevelsen av Malmö är för mig, och för många andra som inte vuxit upp i staden, en ganska grå stad. Kvarter efter kvarter med tegelhus som före detta arbetarbostäder för de stora industrierna. Stadens bild har ändrats mycket under senare tid och efter att ha bott i staden i några år har jag också fått en mer nyanserad bild av hur många olika ansikten staden har - nya platser, hus och miljöer dykThe image of Malmö is to me, and others that hasn’t grown up in the city, a fairly grey story. Blocks after blocks of brick buildings housing the former workers of the great industries that once were the pillars of the city. The face of the city has changed quite radically in recent years and my personal image of the city has been diversified with new places, buildings and environments, which cons
This essay is about universalism in the welfare state of Sweden. The essay contains an evaluation regarding one of the social insurances which is the pension system. This paper analyzes how universalism has changed in the transition from old to the new Swedish elderly pension system. During the 1990s a new pension system was introduced which is why an evaluation is of interest. Through theories ab
Surrogatskap är en aktuell och omdebatterad fråga. Varken altruistiska eller kommersiella surrogatskap är tillåtna i Sverige. Surrogatskap är en relativt ny företeelse och diskuterades för första gången på 1980-talet i riksdagen. Till en början var de flesta partier restriktivt inställda och talade om surrogatskap som en främmande och osedlig företeelse. Med åren öppnades det dock upp för en diskuSurrogacy is a current and often debated issue. Neither altruistic nor commercial surrogacy is allowed in Sweden. When surrogacy was first discussed in the 1980s most parties were restrictive and spoke of surrogacy as a foreign and immoral phenomenon. Over the years, however, more parties have opened up for discussing the matter. In SOU 2016: 11, the possibility of surrogacy in Sweden was investi
Uppsatsen behandlar det adopterade barnets ställning inom adoptionsinstitutet genom dess förändring över tid. Adoptionsinstitutet har förändrats i takt med samhällsutvecklingen och lagstiftaren har tidvis försökt lösa samhällsproblem med hjälp av lagstiftningen. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur barnets ställning har förändrats tillsammans med adoptionslagstiftningen. Adoption som ett institThis thesis examines an adopted child’s status within the adoption institute through time. The adoption institute has changed in line with the development of society and the legislator have occasionally tried to solve problems occurring in the society with the help of legislation.

Fire and grazing, a disaster or opportunity? Due to climate change, disturbances such as forest fires are expected to see an increase in frequency in the 21st century. Fires can increase species diversity since it can create habitats for early successional species. At least if it does not happen too often. Imagine living in a house that burns down every year, it would not be a very nice place to
This study investigates volatility spillover between the prices of electricity at Nord Pool, carbon emission allowances in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and tradable green certificates (TGC) in the Swedish-Norwegian TGC market. ETS and TGC schemes are market-based policies with the overlapping goals of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and stimulating sustainable energy investments. A
This thesis investigates the evolving political attitudes and behaviours toward democracy among young Kenyans, examining whether they are becoming increasingly apathetic toward democracy or are evolving innovative democratic behaviours.

This study investigates how early exposure to maternal mental distress shapes offspring’s long‐ term socioeconomic pathways by leveraging the 1970 British Cohort Study. Maternal distress was measured when the cohort members were aged 5, 10, and 16 years via the 24-item Malaise Inventory. Structural Equation Modeling is employed to estimate (1) the direct effect of maternal malaise on offspring’s a
Uppsatsen syftar till att förtydliga det ansvar som åligger stater till följd av en enskild stats allvarliga brott mot en folkrättsligt tvingande norm. Genom att använda ett rådgivande yttrande från juli 2024, i vilket Internationella domsto-len konstaterade Israels ockupation av de palestinska territorierna som olaglig, undersöks statsansvaret. Avgörandet aktualiserar tre skyldigheter för tredje The essay aims to clarify the responsibility of States arising from a serious breach of a peremptory norm by another State. It does so by using the adviso-ry opinion of July 2024, in which the International Court of Justice found Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories unlawful. The Courts ruling raised three obligations for third States: the obligation not to recognize the situation as
I städer finns det, något förenklat, bilgator och gågator. En sommargågata, däremot, är både ock. Den skapas genom att biltrafiken tillfälligt stängs av på en gata under sommarmånaderna vilket ger fotgängare tillgång till hela gaturummet. Den frigjorda ytan kan användas till verksamheter och restauranger som vill flytta ut i gatan, växter, bänkar, spel och lek, cykelställ och konstinstallationer. A summer street is created by temporarily closing the car traffic on a street during the summer months. The pedestrians get access to the entire street and the liberated space can be used for activities, greenery, benches, bike parking, art and by restaurants. During recent years major cities have made the concept known to the general public. My study shows that summer streets have a much longer
