Problemformuleringen som tillämpas i denna studie har utgångspunkt i frågeställningen, “Hur argumenterar domstolen kring rubriceringen sexu

In the last decades, low-income and low-middle-income countries still presents high levels of poverty despite several efforts by development organizations and policy makers to reduce poverty. Specifically, this paper tests if financial depth and financial access reduces the poverty headcount ratio in 45 low-income and low-middle-income countries and compares both results to know which measure is m
As the interest in greenwashing as a strategy for marketing increases, monitoring institutions in Sweden have not failed to acknowledge the tendency of unwarranted and exaggerated statements that has left the impression of products or services without any legitimate support. Even as institutions have voiced their active engagement in tackling this problem, critique has been raised arguing that gre
The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) is a cornerstone of the union’s strategy to mitigate climate change and innovation is integral to emissions reduction, as well as an aim of the policy. To study if the EU ETS is associated with increased innovation, the Swedish Pulp and Paper Industry (PPI) poses an interesting case. Not only is Sweden itself a leading innovator, but its PPI have rapidly reduc
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this thesis focuses on the bottom-up conceptualisation of the notion of rule of law, developed by a group of activists against a COVID vaccine passport enforced in Italy (so-called Green Pass), and their subsequent everyday acts of resistance. By using a multimodal digital ethnography methodology, centred on both in-person and digital informal encounters, t
The following essay aims to explore and analyse Niccoló Machiavelli’s, primarily, political and ideological use of history in his two most well known pieces of writing: The Prince and Discourses. The essay's theoretical framework is that of Klas-Göran Karlssons theory, namely use of history. In using this theory one analyse the, most often written or verbal, intermediation of historical knowle
With socio-economic hardships arising and dramatically worsening as a cause of the present-day financial crisis, The World Bank has warned against severe cases of brain drain as emigration becomes increasingly desirable to the Lebanese population. Lebanon, already possessing one of the world’s largest diaspora, can be characterized as being one of the largest remittance-receiving countries, where
The objective of this thesis is to understand how a retail space could facilitate a broader adoption of a novel technology. I aim to respond to the following questions, (i) ‘What characterises the practice of operating a smart technology for the home?’, (ii) ‘Which are the main barriers to reaching out to a broader range of customers, as opposed to only the technology interested customers?’, and (
The thesis sets out to explore how surveillance technology is affecting modern parental practices. Based on 12 in-depth interviews with parents of children aged 10-17, technological surveillance and parenting are studied. The data is analyzed though a combination of both preexisting concepts of Baumrind on child development and independent constructs. The concept of remote parenting has been deriv
Since the 1930s, a dance permit regulation has been in effect in Sweden. The dance permit is required for public dance events in Sweden, and police may take photographic evidence of patrons moving in sync with the music in a dance-like fashion if they believe that ‘illegal’ dancing has transpired in an establishment that may not have filed for a dance permit. If such is the case, then this evidenc
Kan en enskild lag underlätta planläggningsarbetet ute i kommunerna? Hur arbetar din kommun för att bygga och bevara befintliga hyresrätter? I dagsläget uppfinner varje kommun hjulet själva, men det kan snart vara över. Ett nytt lagförslag är på ingång! Lagstiftaren vill att PBL och byggnadsbranschen blir mer förutsägbar, effektiv och smidig. Bostadskrisen har länge varit på tapeten och röster hörThe Swedish housing market faces a number of concerns. There are too few rental units with cheap rent available and the capital input to buy your own freehold title or tenant-ownership is skyrocketing. The threshold for entering the housing market is getting higher and groups such as young adults, new arrivals, disabled people, and the elderly are the ones who are the most exposed. Developers get
Migration is a globally studied social issue, that can cause changes in the demographic composition of the population and the structure of society. Azerbaijan has been experiencing different waves of migration in the country since gaining its independence. One of the largest waves is the emigration from rural to urban areas. Although there are studies focusing on why people leave the villages, th
Cellen är den fundamentala byggstenen för allt liv vi idag känner till. Inuti celler kompartmentaliseras viktiga funktioner till organeller, vilket är cellernas motsvarighet till organ. Klassiska organeller kan kontrollera sin biokemiska miljö med hjälp av ett membran som avgränsar organellens inre från cytoplasman. Under de senaste åren har forskare dock funnit att membran inte är universell för Biomolecular condensates are aggregates formed from liquid-liquid phase separation through the interactions between nucleic acids and multivalent proteins. These condensates are essential for many biochemical processes inside the cell. Therefore, there has been a large effort during the last decade to create models and methods to describe these systems. Mixtures of RNA and proteins are very common
The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of how the perception of stress for HR-professionals within staffing- and recruitment, might differentiate when working more or less from home. An additional ambition was to develop an understanding of how the work characteristics, job-demand, control and support, could have an impact on the above association. To examine this, an explorator
Syftet med studien är att bidra med ökad förståelse för orsakerna varför butiker inom den svenska dagligvaruhandeln väljer att implementera snabbkassor eller inte. Från ett företagsperspektiv vill vi därför kvalitativt undersöka vilka för- och nackdelar livsmedelsbutiker ser med snabbkassor samt hur företagen resonerar kring sin målgrupp i beslut om snabbkassor.
How do emotions influence our memory? While emotionally salient memories are typically found to be remembered better and more vividly than mundane events, emotion- memory interactions can also be maladaptive. Though ample research has emphasized the modulatory role of emotion in memory, much remains to be understood about the way in which emotions may modulate neural mechanisms underlying memory p
I takt med den globala uppvärmningen, Covid-19-pandemin och kriget i Ukraina står den svenska nötköttsbranschen inför fler utmaningar än någonsin för att framgångsrikt och långsiktigt arbeta med hållbar utveckling. I studien appliceras Triple Bottom Line vilket inkluderar social, miljövänlig och ekonomisk hållbarhet. Tidigare forskning har en avsaknad kring hur Triple Bottom Line kan appliceras fö
Samhället genomgår ett omfattande paradigmskifte för att bekämpa de utmaningar som är förenade med de antropogena utsläppen av koldioxid (CO2) och andra växthusgaser som bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen. Fordonsindustrin som står för en femtedel av de globala utsläppen, varav tre fjärdedelar är kopplade till vägfordon, ser en omvälvande ökning i efterfrågan på icke-fossildrivna fordon så som The societal integration of electric vehicles (EVs) imposes several challenges on the electrical grid, where congestion and overcurrents through related components are of focus for this thesis. Active network management through control systems is one flexible solution to this problem, and in the project Active Network Management for All (ANM4L), a congestion management algorithm utilizing PI contr
