Sverige brukar få hög placering i internationella jämförelser av sjukvårdssystem. Det gäller inte minst patientnöjdhet och kvalitet, läkartäthet och hälsoutfall. Ändå har de senaste åren varit mycket vanligt med larmrapporter om kris på sjukhusen med påstådda överfulla vårdsalar och personal som lämnar sjukvården pga för hög arbetsbörda och ohållbar arbetsmiljö. Situationen har dragit igång debatt

The aftermath of the recent refugee crisis in Europe has been debated to a great extent across the globe. Yet, little statistical analysis has been done to uncover the impacts of refugee inflows on crime and voting behavior. In this paper, two topics on the effects of the refugee crisis are investigated. We ask: How did the recent increase of refugee inflows affect crime rates and voting behavior

Konceptet personalisering innebär att fokus allt oftare riktas mot individuella politiker och deras personliga egenskaper. Sociala medier, så som Instagram, har gjort konceptet än mer aktuellt då möjligheterna att politiskt kommunicera personligt har ökat genom dessa. Studien ämnade att undersöka om personaliserad kommunikation av framstående svenska politiker på Instagram har ökat under den senas

Caroline Eliasson Avfall – en av framtidens viktigaste resurser Avfallshanteringen har i både Sverige och EU genomgått stora förändringar de senaste åren. Ny lagstiftning och nya styrmedel har implementerats och gett gott resultat genom att minska mängden avfall som deponeras. Nästa utmaning är att kunna utnyttja materialet i avfallet mer än en gång. För det krävs nya strategier. Avfallshanter

The use of motion expressions to describe objects that are actually static (e.g. “The train tracks curves through the mountain”) has been of interest within the fields of linguistics and cognitive science for at least three decades (e.g. Langacker, 1990; Matsumuto, 1996; Talmy, 2000a; Matlock, 2004a; Zlatev & Blomberg, 2013). In this thesis, such descriptions will be referred to as Non-Actual

In this time of global health interventions, preventing borderless diseases, such as Ebola, is a question of implementing global health policies in different cultural contexts. Although these interventions are mediated by international organs, the healthcare workers on the ground are actually those who implement policies. From this starting point, this thesis investigates the extent to which Swedi

In the past century, Sweden has seen vast developments in narrowing the gender earnings gap between men and women. Nevertheless the gap still remains, and has revealed patterns of stagnation in the recent decade. In the presence of a gender earnings gap there is an unequal distribution of economic power between men and women, which may lead to an inefficient resource allocation. Today there is a l

Instead of investing 145 billion SEK in building a new high speed rail network, much greater value in terms of transport capacity is likely to be found in constructing a new system of tube transport with a travel speed of 600 km/h. The suggested technology does not exist yet. However, research and development is advancing and accepting that a new technology is emerging might be the greatest hurdle
