When speaking in terms of institutional fragmentation in global environmental governance one might rather immediately notice that a certain degree of said fragmentation probably is a perennial characteristic in this context and, arguably, preferable. However, the degree varies rather widely in time, space and issue areas. Fisheries being an example of a relatively high degree of fragmentation, sin
Könsfördelningen i aktiebolagsstyrelser både i Sverige och inom EU är ojämn, även om klyftorna har minskat under de senaste åren. I den här uppsatsen utreds om införandet av en lag om könskvotering i aktiebolagsstyrelser skulle stå i strid med (i) den svenska aktiebolagsrättsliga regleringen, (ii) det lagstadgade skyddet för äganderätt/egendom och/eller (iii) den lagstadgade näringsfriheten, vilke
This thesis was written as an assignment from the Liberal Party (Folkpartiet) in Scania, Sweden. Its main objective was to describe the ideological views of eight members of the regional party on tax and welfare related issues. The subject was raised when the party within their regional political alliance agreed to raise the regional tax level, even though the party had strong ambitions to lower i
Corruption is often seen as a phenomenon resistant to change. The aim of this thesis is to explain the puzzle regarding why corruption sometimes diminishes in a state’s public administration. In order to answer the research question, how can decreasing corruption in a countries public sector be explained, a comparative case study of Estonia and Georgia is conducted according to Mills method of agr
The following thesis investirgates the elements of the governance theories Governance and Government in policy document relating to the interaction between Försäkringskassan and Arbetsförmedlingen. In my research I have, on the basis of government letters and other key policy documents, interpreted the characteristics of both the more softer negotiation focused management and a more hierarchical g
This thesis presents a psychosocial theory of human action, meant to explain man’s reaction to different social orders and help to understand how to create a better society. When man becomes an individual, he experiences an unbearable separetedness from the world and from himself. This creates a longing for reunion, that can be carried out in a love relation with another human or through action, w
The media has often been considered to have an important role in a democratic society as a channel for political communication and public information. Journalism’s primary roles are to inform citizens, make accountable those in power and allow different opinions to be heard. At a local level it is the local newspapers that fulfil this function. Media companies are however generally for-profit comp
During the 1990s the Swedish government was decentralized. Subsequently the states control over the governmental authorities decreased. The shifted steering enabled for local adaption’s and were meant to better meet citizens requests, constitute local solutions and in turn enhance the legitimacy for politicians. Priorities had thus to be done locally and the relation between the local authorities
Det grundläggande syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera tillämpningen och tolkningen av skatteflyktslagen på förfaranden som omfattas av skatteavtal. HFD har inte prövat frågan utan endast uttalat att lagen principiellt kan tillämpas om den gemensamma partsavsikten i det aktuella skatteavtalet inte hindrar det. Däremot har skatteflyktslagens tillämpning på s.k. Peru-upplägg prövats i kammarrätternThe objective of this thesis is to analyse the interpretation and application of the Swedish General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR – Sw. lag (1995:575) mot skatteflykt) to transactions involving tax treaties. The Swedish Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) has not ruled on the issue. However, the SAC has declared that the GAAR, in principle, can be applied to such transactions if the common intention o
Understanding metabolic processes of soil fungi is essential for elucidating their ecological roles in biogeochemical cycles and responses to emergent environmental stressors. Here, we demonstrate the potential of using stable isotope probing Raman (SIP-Raman) microspectroscopy in microfluidics technology-based soil chips to trace glucose metabolism rates and stress responses in laboratory grown f
This study critically explores the launch of the mission for 100 climate neutral cities in Europe. Key elements of the mission are introduced and analysed along with some of its challenges and ambiguities.
The islet β cells are the specific targets in an autoimmune process that eventually leads to the clinical onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The etiology is related to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DR-DQ genetic factors that are necessary but not sufficient for disease development. The environmental etiology is related to enterovirus infection in early childhood resulting in two endotypes. In HLA DR4
ObjectivesTo compare head acceleration between blind football players and non-disabled football players, and between anticipated and unanticipated conditions in blind football players.DesignLaboratory-based exploratory study.MethodsParticipants were ten football players (five blind football, five non-disabled; 80% female). Standardized head perturbations were applied in flexion, extension, lateral
This study investigates the first Climate City Contracts (CCCs) in Sweden and consequently Europe. To do so, it evaluates the content of the Swedish CCCs against a framework for best practice deep decarbonisation plans.
This study explores the global trend of cities declaring a climate emergency. To do so, it delves into the experiences in Sweden with climate emergency statements and if or how cities are adopting a ”climate emergency mode”.
A synchrotron-based experiment was carried out to demonstrate the potential of x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) to characterize collective dynamics driven by superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) during magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) imaging. MMUS is a developing diagnostic imaging technique that has the potential to enable more precise cancer staging than other clinical
Drought-induced canopy browning and recovery dynamics threaten ecosystem stability worldwide, with Australia serving as a representative case. This study examined the 2019–2020 drought and subsequent recovery in Eucalyptus forests across two bioregions of the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW): the North Coast and South Eastern Highlands. Canopy browning and recovery were quantified using a
Stickler syndrome is a collection of hereditary conditions that impact connective tissue, mainly collagen, and can cause a variety of symptoms, such as joint and bone abnormalities, hearing loss, and visual impairments. Previous studies suggest that mutations in the collagen-encoding genes are a primary cause of SS. These mutations can be inherited from parents to offspring and may vary significan
