The question of borders in regional planning have gained increased interest in recent developments of human geography. In the four corners of the region Scania, there are four different sub-regional organisations that work towards intermunicipal cooperation and development centred on a core growth engine. But how do these sub-regions relate to and affect the borders that surround them? To answer t
The rise in new digital technology is bringing with it new ethical questions around how we, as a society, can trust them. However, what if the question was before the technology itself? What if the role of the developers was influencing the way those new technologies were being programmed? This thesis situates itself at the point of exploration, where developers of humanoid social robots look for
Biomedical application of nanoparticles is largely associated to their fate in biological media which, in fact, is related to their surface properties. Surface functionalitzation plays a key role in determining biodegradation, cytotoxicity and biodistribution through interactions which may be meditated by the macromolecules occurring in biological media. This project is focused on the effect of di
Denna uppsats undersöker hur mödrar som arbetstagare, omsorg och jämställdhet konstrueras i EU:s politik för balans mellan arbete och privatliv. Syftet är att bidra till en djupare förståelse för hur institutionella visioner om jämställdhet formas och vad de inkluderar respektive utesluter. Analysen fokuserar på två centrala policydokument: Arbetslivsbalansdirektiv från 2019 och Kommissionens initThis thesis explores how mothers as workers, care, and gender equality are constructed in EU work-life balance policy. The aim is to contribute to a deeper understanding of how institutional visions of equality are constructed and what they include or exclude. The analysis focuses on two central policy documents: the 2019 Work-Life Balance Directive and the 2017 Commission initiative on work-life
Following the Urgenda climate court case in the late 2010s, Greenpeace cooperated with a group of Bonairean residents to take the Dutch state to court again in 2024 in relation to climate neglect. According to the plaintiffs of the Bonaire case, the Caribbean island that is part of the country of the Netherlands is structurally neglected when it comes to climate adaptation and mitigation. On top o
Studies about migration and development consist of a vast field of themes. However, irregular migration between developing countries is to a large extent still an unexplored area. Based on a constructivist approach and a qualitative study, this paper explores the structural explanations of irregular migration from Nicaragua to Costa Rica and the categorisation of migration flows into ‘south’ and ‘
Digital technologies have significantly facilitated the creation and distribution of User Generated Content. Whereas the online environment offers promising opportunities for business and cultural development, it also carries important implications for EU copyright law. Whilst this topic has been explored in the literature, it is typically considered from the lens of rights holders, who often stru
This thesis constitutes an attempt to explore the characteristics of human resilience in Israeli society. The literature review shows that state institutions might not take into consideration resilience as a ‘natural’ resource developed by communities and implement programs to build or frame and “nationalize” resilience from outside. For this reason, an account on what can be termed “natural” resi
Syfte: Att utveckla och validera ett kliniskt användbart frågeformulär för utvärdering av effekten av en kurs i Aktiv Kommunikation (AK). Metod: Ett frågeformulär utvecklades och reviderades utifrån kommentarer sprungna ur granskning genomförd av en grupp tidigare kursdeltagare och av ett antal kursledare i Aktiv Kommunikation. Formuläret fylldes sedan i av 61 andra, tidigare kursdeltagare. Ytterl
The Roma people have historically been marginalised in the Swedish society. Ex-cluded from the majority and differentiated by their lifestyle many today are with-out work. In this essay it’s the Roma women, “romni”, in the relation to their work situation who are main area of interest. Using Carol Lee Bacchis problem analysis “What’s the problem represented to be?” and a post-colonial feminist the
Abstract This essay is about integration in the small Swedish municipality of Höör, in the south of Sweden. Using a qualitative research approach in the form of a content analysis, I have con-ducted a study concerning female immigrants from Afghanistan. The theoretical framework in this study consists of theories on integration by Diaz and Beckman. Further theoretical framework in the study consis
Uppsatsen tar sitt avstamp i den politiska nollvisionen att inga barn ska vräkas. En utredning av gällande rätt klargör att även om det kan finnas en lagstadgad social rätt till bostad för barn så är denna inte så väldefinierad och reglerad att den är utkrävbar i domstol. Hyreslagen i jordabalkens 12:e kapitel ger så små möjligheter att i begränsade fall ta hänsyn till att barn kan beröras av en a
I september 2022 avlider Mahsa Jina Amini efter hon blivit arresterad av den Islamiska republikens moralpolis. Detta är inledningen på landsomfattande protester med slagorden “Kvinna Liv Frihet” som väcker uppmärksamhet över hela världen. Kort därefter släpper den iranska artisten Shervin Hajipour låten Baraye där orsakerna till protesterna uttrycks. Sången får snabbt spridning och blir proteströr
Bakgrund: Andelen förlossningar som induceras har fördubblats mellan 2019 och 2020. En förklaring till att induktioner har ökat beror på att man i flera regioner ändrat rutinerna för igångsättning för att minska risken för intrauterin fosterdöd. Studier visar att kvinnor som blir igångsatta tenderar att känna mer oro och vara mindre nöjda med sin vård jämfört med kvinnor som kommer igång spontant
Att emigrera till Sverige som flykting eller med familjeanknytning kan innebära en anpassning till en annorlunda kultur. Annorlunda normer, lagar och regler kan vara en faktor för att bli berövad utrymme för att utföra de aktiviteter som varit meningsfulla i ursprungslandet. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur flyktingkvinnor och kvinnor mer familjeanknytning upplever sina aktiviteter i det n

More specifically the thesis deals with a development intervention in education as social policy in Uruguay, investigated as a case study. The methodological intention is to present the voices of the subject
