Cambodia continues to experience a high prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) across the country. This may be attributed to the deeply embedded patriarchal customs that emphasize the subservience of women and authority of men. Previous literature has found that IPV may lead to negative health implications among victimized women, such as impaired well-being, unintended pregnancies, and HIV/
Medarbetarupplevelse (employee satisfaction or employee experience) is an organizational phenomenon that has become an ascending work-process within the HR-profession. Through five interviews with various HR-practitioners, we managed to answer this essay’s three framing questions: 1) How can medarbetarupplevelse be defined? 2) Which essential and mutual factors can we identify in the interviews?
In 2001, the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) published a report on the so called doctrine of the responsibility to protect (R2P). According to the ICISS, the R2P implies a subsidiary responsibility on the international community through the United Nations (UN) to protect populations from gross human rights violations if states responsible for those population
Arbetstagare idag spenderar nästan en tredjedel av sin vakna tid på arbetsplatsen där trakasserier och kränkande särbehandling är ett fortsatt högaktuellt problem. Arbetsgivare har ett brett ansvar när det gäller att åtgärda dessa problem, både genom arbetsmiljölagen och diskrimineringslagen, men exakt hur detta ansvar aktualiseras i praktiken samt hur de två olika regelverken samverkar är inte heToday employees spend nearly a third of their waking hours in the workplace where harassment and victimization continues to be a current problem. Employers have a broad responsibility when it comes to remedying these problems, both through the Work Environment Act and the Discrimination Act, but exactly how this responsibility is actualized in practice and how the two different regulations work to
In the spring of 2022 Sweden experienced several riots among counter-protesters in connection with a Danish politician's Islamophobic manifestations. A societal debate was sparked around control, police capabilities and the limits of freedom of expression. The purpose of the current study is to, based on Anne Nassauer's theory from 2019 of paths to protest violence, with the support of pre
Background. Carlberg & Innanen (1987) first proposed the idea of measuring the solar re- flex velocity (the velocity of the Sun around the galactic centre), Vg,⊙, using the momenta of the stars in the solar neighbourhood. The proposal was a consequence of the work of L. Martinet (Martinet 1974), where he proved that there should be a dearth of stars with zero angular momenta in the solar neigh
The aim of the study is to find a relation between the tip pressure produced by ram sounding and CPT in order to improve the possibilities of determining the shear strength of clay till. CPT is a pressure probe and mainly used to get a good picture of the statigraphy and the soil condition. CPT has shown to be useful regarding the evaluation of key parameters such as shear strengh and angle of fri
Over the last decades, Sino-African diplomatic relations have undergone various changes, corresponding with China’s strategic objectives in and with the respective countries. Under the Xi administration, China’s approach to diplomacy has focussed on the quest of becoming a major global power while, or rather through, upholding its traditional values. This paper seeks to analyse how the current dis
Mental illness among Swedish adolescents is increasing, which partly might be a result of an observed increase in stress. Consequently, the number of adolescents seeking and receiving psychiatric care from pediatric psychiatry is higher than ever, and has resulted in a worsened accessibility with longer waiting times for appointments and treatment. As such, preventive care and health promotion int
An emerging tool within public relations is the use of bloggers as spokespersons because of their ability to act as influencers. This study investigates how fashion bloggers present products and services they receive from companies in their blogs. The research questions address how discourses are manifested and how independence is expressed in the texts. Based on Fairclough's theory of discour
The pulp industry is important for creating sustainable paper products and for the Swedish economy. However, the industry has historically polluted marine environments through its emissions. This study aims to analyse the effects of the pulp mill Södra Cell Mörrum on the marine recipient Hanö Bay in the southern Baltic Sea. The study focuses on effects of nutrients and metals on sediments and blue
The purpose of the study was to gain a better understanding of informal leadership on the flight deck and how leadership can be effectively practiced by a first officer from the right seat, with the intention to strengthen team performance. The research question tried to answer if informal leadership is present on the flight deck and what factors contribute to the first officer’s ability to influe
The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is a well-known computationally hard problem often used to benchmark new optimization algorithms. With recent advances in the field of quantum computing, quantum optimization algorithms are emerging as promising new ways to potentially solve such problems that remain difficult for classical computers. However, most modern quantum processing units (QPUs) still l
This thesis investigates the performance dynamics of serial acquirers in the Swedish market, specifically focusing on their ability to realize cost synergies over time. Through an empirical analysis of Swedish firms engaging in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) between 2010 and 2019, we aimed to determine whether serial acquirers exhibit improved synergy realization in subsequent acquisitions com
Nanoparticles have gained considerable attention in the last decades, especially in the medical field. The nanoparticles could enter our bodies from anywhere in the surrounding environment and interact with objects in our biological fluids. However, there is little knowledge about this process. The protein competes for the nanoparticle's surface area, forming “corona” made of different protein
Swedish parents today raise their children in a welfare state, where childcare is both accessible and affordable, and often within dual-income households. At the same time, they have witnessed a challenged welfare state affected by cutbacks, privatizations, and the demands of an increasingly flexible working life. Previous research has shown that Swedish grandparents are more involved in their aduSwedish parents today raise their children in a welfare state, where childcare is both accessible and affordable, and often within dual-income households.

The focus of this thesis is the myths and ideologies inscribed into the aesthetics, narratives and gameplay of post-apocalyptic videogames. The aim is to discuss how the conditions and conventions of the game medium shape what is presented to us as a modern, secular form of apocalypticism. The case studies presented are the two well-known videogames Fallout 4 and The Last Of Us. The research focus
Första april 2018 trädde 3 kap. 4 § i skadeståndslagen ikraft. Lagrummet innebär att det offentliga under vissa villkor bär ett skadeståndsansvar för överträdelser av EKMR. Införandet av 3:4 SkL föregicks av en flerårig utveckling av ansvar för konventionsöverträdelser i HD:s praxis. Uppsatsen redogör för 3:4 SkL i förhållande till den första artikeln i första tilläggsprotokollet till EKMR – skydOn the 1st of April 2018 the new law of chapter 3, section 4 in the Tort Liability Act went into force. The law declares that the state under set provisions is liable for damages caused by violations of the ECHR. The law was preceded by several years of development of a convention-based responsibility in the case law of the Supreme Court. This thesis examines the new law in the context of the fir
Japanese knotweed is a big problem in Sweden and there is no known control that can eliminate stands of the plant. Therefore the aim with this thesis is to investigate the effect on Japanese knotweed of two control methods: mowing and hot water. The control methods chosen are the ones used by the Ängelholm municipality since this thesis is done in collaboration with them. The methods were investig
