Auction bidding is perform

Förhöjda halter koldioxid! Hur dåligt är det egentligen? Inledning: Flera forskare har i egna studier kommit fram till att koldioxid har en negativ effekt på hälsa och prestation. Vår atmosfär är en av faktorerna som gör att vi kan leva här på jorden. Atmosfären består till stor del av kväve (78%) och syre (21%) och lite över en procent andra gaser. Bland dessa gaser förekommer koldioxid. KoldioThis study’s purpose was to try and study whether Carbon Dioxide in indoor environments (schools and offices) affect performance and health in students and office workers in terms of mental effects and Sick Building Syndrome. This study was executed as a literary study where eight different scientific articles were analysed and compared to see if their results are comparable with each other and sh

Bakgrund: ​Några av de viktigaste aspekterna att ta hänsyn till i vår nutid är att konsumera hållbart och minska mängden avfall vi efterlämnar. En del enskilda individer har börjat ta aktivt ansvar för sin egna miljöpåverkan och sociala medier har visat sig vara ett viktigt verktyg i att engagera sig i hållbarhet.

The growing complexity of the concept of gender highlights the importance for a deeper understanding of the diversity underlying this construct. Recent studies have shown large numbers of individuals experiencing non-conforming feelings with their sex assigned at birth, emphasising the need to gain a better understanding of gender identities outside the binary system, one of these being non-binary

Med en allt hårdare konkurrens på den svenska betaltjänstemarknaden har det blivit viktigare för tjänsteleverantörerna att försöka tillgodose konsumentens behov och krav. Den ökade konkurrensen bland e- handelsföretag har gjort att företagen är beroende av att det ska gå snabbt och enkelt för kunden att göra sin betalning, annars är risken stor att kunden avbryter köpet. Företagen måste därför utv

Background: The fashion industry is one of the world’s largest and most creative sectors in the retail industry, but also one of the most polluting industries globally. More and more clothes are produced than it is needed, and this has been a usual process in the fashion industry to meet consumers’ needs. Consumers can also be responsible for the environmental degradation, even though most of the

Abstract Today, the reproduction of the spaces is mostly realized through urban transformation processes. These processes are in evidence around all over the world. Urban transformation is an ambiguous umbrella definition that includes different actors, different processes and different fields. Beyond spatial changes, these transformations also affect social relationships and networks, which are v

In Haiti, the apparel industry is considered a key sector for driving economic growth, reducing poverty and improving living conditions through employment. Thereby, participation in Global Value Chains (GVCs) is essential for the country’s development plan. The apparel industry is a significant source of employment and income generation, especially for women. Notwithstanding, women workers are oft

This study aims to examine how local governments originated from the global South, through Urban Food System Strategies (UFSS), are realizing global sustainability priorities as outlined by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study is based on the policy analysis of three Latin American UFSS, with the aim to detect synergies and connections between the UFSS and the SDGs. The primary c

Under de senaste årtionden har riksdagsledamöter och regeringen vid olika tillfällen problematiserat användningen av begreppet ”ras” om människor i den svenska författningssamlingen. Med hjälp av Bacchis poststrukturella policyanalys syftar denna undersökning till att söka svar på hur begreppet ”ras” konstrueras och begripliggörs i policytexter och hur begreppet problematiseras i den politiska vok

Poland voted in favor of the decision, but then didn’t follow through their obligations. The purpose of this paper is to study Poland's decision not to participate in the relocation program and to un

This essay aims to examine the relationship between ageing populations and political development. Former studies have shown a strong correlation between the change of individual values and life progression but have yet to determine whether or not this can be applied on a structural scale. By applying Schwartz value theory on the parties in the Swedish parliament, each party was a assigned an index

This thesis departs from the pressing need for deepening the understanding of the emotional appeal of populism. Focusing on the case of populist party SYRIZA’s rise to government power, it argues that mainstream literature fails to grasp the efficacy and resonance of populist discourse due to its general neglect of the role of affect and subjectivity. In accounting for the impact of populism, this

The aim of this thesis is to examine how the municipal housing company Gårdstensbostäder has developed the area of Gårdsten over time.

As being digital increasingly becomes a requirement for functioning in society, those who are not as digital increasingly become excluded. This study aims to problematize the Swedish policies surrounding digitalization, and especially those in some way related to digital exclusion. The paper uses a combination of Bacchi’s What’s represented as the problem? methodology and theories on the neolibera

This thesis sets out to investigate the affective dynamics of doing community in response to terror by taking as a site of inquiry the attack in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2017. It studies how emotive expressions of multicultural openness could operate at the same time as heightened security measures were perceived as legitimate. By departing from the literature on responses to terrorism, it explores a

Housing segregation is one of the main social problems in Malmö. In order to achieve a socially sustainable environment, the citizens have to feel like they are a part of the development of their environments. Perhaps an increased level of citizen participation can solve the problem? The aim of this study is to analyse the project Bo100 in Malmö from a social sustainability perspective, with a foc

This thesis reviews the impact and relevance of the Integrated Housing Development Programme (IHDP) on the economic and social wellbeing of the urban poor in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. By situating the programme’s performance from the perspective of its residents and the urban poor in speculative urbanisation theory, the study investigates the urban transformation dynamics it has created.
