Förtätning av städer med en hög andel hårdgjorda ytor i kombination med klimatförändringarna gör urbana miljöer särskilt sårbara. Hållbar dagvattenhantering kan bidra till att öka klimatresiliensen i städerna, samtidigt som de genererar flera mervärden. Vilket gör de särskilt lämpliga i städerna där tillgången till mark är en begränsad resurs. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att tillvarata på in
The dominant tourism model in the Maldives, the ‘one island one resort’ (OIOR) concept, permits companies to lease and control entire islands for up to 99 years. Maldivians are restricted from accessing these islands without paying. The growing number of resorts indicates that Maldivians are increasingly losing access to common space. The consequences of this restriction, especially on youth (18-3
This thesis examines how refugee and migrant education policies interact with school segregation and structural inequality to shape student outcomes across nine countries: Canada, Chile, Finland, Germany, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, and the United States. Drawing on Sen’s capability approach, welfare regime theory, and education governance typologies, it asks why formally similar polic
This thesis examines how urban refugee economic survival is governed within Nairobi, Kenya, through the perceptions of humanitarian-development practitioners. Despite Kenya's Refugee Act 2021 representing one of the region's more progressive frameworks for refugee economic inclusion, the distance between its formal provisions and operational reality remains vast. Fourteen semi-structured i
Recent estimates by the World Health Organization show that one in six people globally experience infertility at some point in their lives. Infertility is a fundamental reproductive health concern affecting an individual's human right to freely decide if, when, and how many children to have. A growing body of literature notes infertility’s absence from the sexual and reproductive health and ri
The unprecedented decline in external health aid has disrupted health services across low- and middle-income countries, many of which are simultaneously facing rising levels of non-communicable diseases and weak primary healthcare, increasing the need to examine how donor-driven non-communicable disease programmes can be sustained beyond programme completion. This thesis unfolds how sustainability
Suicide rates among Indigenous populations remain disproportionately high in many postcolonial contexts, yet the structural and gendered dimensions of suicide vulnerability remain underexplored. This thesis examines how suicide vulnerability among Indigenous populations can be understood through a decolonial feminist perspective, using Greenland as an empirical case. Specifically, the study analys
Accelerating global demand for critical minerals intensifies pressures on Indigenous territories, exacerbating tensions between extractive imperatives and Indigenous land rights. This thesis critically analyses how state-mediated institutional arrangements in Sweden and Colombia shape Indigenous peoples' participation, authority, and influence in land-use decision-making related to critical mi
The Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage was formally established in 2023 to support countries particularly vulnerable to climate-related loss and damage, following decades of sustained advocacy by small island developing states and other climate-vulnerable nations. This study examines how the Fund reproduces or challenges colonial epistemology and what implications this has for the operationali
Food insecurity is one of the main development challenges faced by the Peruvian population, withfood waste across the retail sector significantly contributing to its prevalence. In Lima, the Peruvian Food Bank (PFB) was created as an NGO to recover food safe for consumption beforebeing discarded, redistributing it to those in need. Recognizing its relevance, this thesis assessesthe role of the PFB
Många organister brottas med ergonomiska utmaningar kopplat till kroppshållningen. I detta arbete redogörs för orgelns särskilda svårigheter och vad olika källor säger om hur viktig ryggens position är, samt hur man på sikt kan förbättra sin hållning. Därefter genomfördes ett orgel-specifikt styrketräningsprogram utformat av P. J. Hawkins. Detta träningsprogram ledde på sex veckor fram till en märMany organists struggle with ergonomy in regard to posture. This paper presents the particular difficulties with organ-playing, views from different sources on the position of the back and how it can affect the musical flow of the performer, as well as how one can improve their posture over time. From here, an organ-specific strength training routine, as designed by H. J. Hawkins, was carried out,
This study examines how climate policy is discursively constructed in Sweden through a qualitative document analysis of electoral manifestos from the Social Democratic Party (SAP) and the Sweden Democrats (SD) between 2014 and 2024. The study finds that Swedish climate policy is increasingly shaped by competing discursive frames, where the Social Democrats continue to promote a vision of EU cooper
Cuban Medical Internationalism constitutes a prime example of healthcare cooperation within South-South Cooperation. While having a lengthy historical tradition driven by solidarity, it was subjected to human rights concerns regarding its physicians employed abroad. As these experiences are embedded in broader structures of inequality, they resemble the concept of structural violence. The study, t
The disconnect that exists between what ‘should’ be prioritized in global governance and what actually is, is manifested in many fields, and it becomes shockingly apparent in global dealings with ‘climate vulnerable’ countries like Bangladesh. Of these fields, this particular study has scrutinized the development aid sector's conceptualization of 'climate issues' in Bangladesh using An
This thesis examines the market access barriers faced by small-scale producers in Bolivia, with a focus on Chiquitania, Los Valles Cruceños, and Zongo. Drawing on 15 semi-structured interviews with producers, vendors, university staff, and institutional actors, it analyses how structural, institutional, and relational barriers shape not only producers’ ability to reach markets, but also their abil
The fashion industry has been criticized for its significant negative environmental and labor rights impacts. In response, some fashion brands are now seeking to address these concerns by integrating ethical values into their operations and forming alliances with consumers to promote ethical consumption. While they have constructed ethical values and aim to communicate them to their consumers, the
Waste is one of our largest environmental problems. In its wake follows waste crime that has become a growing societal challenge in every imaginable level in our society. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to examine if the municipal waste organisations in Scania experience any criminality, organized and unorganized, in the waste trade and how they take crime prevention measures. To illuminate
Det svenska ränteavdraget är en omdiskuterad skattepolitisk åtgärd som ofta anses bidra till både hög skuldsättning och driva upp bostadspriser, samtidigt som det underlättar för hushåll med svag ekonomi genom minskande boendekostnader. Det finns osäkerheter kring vilka ekonomiska konsekvenser som sker vid avskaffande, särskilt på lokal nivå. Ränteavdraget är ett avdrag som minskar den skatt du b
Sweden has long presented itself as a principled donor. Yet the simultaneous invocation of human rights vocabulary alongside increasingly restrictive practices in Sweden’s post-2022 Palestine policy has not been systematically examined. Between October 2022 and the end of 2025, the bilateral Palestine strategy was replaced by a regional one and partner organisations were placed under review. This
Managing household energy extends beyond energy itself, it shapes the organisation and survival of everyday life. This thesis explores women’s roles as household energy managers in relation to cooking and cooking-related tasks by foregrounding women’s experiences of everyday energy practices. Focusing on fuel procurement, cooking practices, and securing fuel, the study examines how gender shapes k
