Policies and strategies to fight global environmental degradation, gender inequality, and poverty are often inadequate, ineffective, or insufficient. In response, this article seeks potential synergies and leverage points between three significant interrelated discourses that are often treated separately—development, gender, and environment. Proceeding from a brief history of development thinking

A well-communicated brand identity contributes to positive brand awareness, brand attitudes and legitimacy, which are important elements for a successful brand.

The legal framework in Kenya today is akin to a ‘right-angled triangle’ with the African Traditional Society as the hypotenuse, the Islamic law as the adjacent side and the English law as the opposite side. These ‘Pythagorean’ triples have informed both the Kenyan Family law history and practice. Kadhis’ Courts applying Islamic law of personal status have been in East Africa for over 200 years now

This study examines the process of gentrification. In so doing, the main aim is to explore a context wherein the process of gentrification is deemed unconventional. The context deemed unconventional is the one beyond the city, more accurately a coastal hamlet called Brantevik, located in the municipality of Simrishamn, in the southeastern part of the Scania region. By investigating whether Brantev
Following five decades of isolation and ruthless military rule, Myanmar authorities started implementing various nominally democratic reforms. In response to these developments Western governments scaled back sanctions that had made the country anathema to foreign business. Writing within premises of late modernity, and the retreat of the state as primary political-geographical reference, this the
Med utgångspunkt i den monogaminorm som är så gott som allrådande i det moderna samhället är syftet med denna undersökning att ta reda på hur intimitet skapas i relationer som går bortom denna norm. Sex personer som har erfarenhet av icke-monogama relationer intervjuas för att synliggöra hur överenskommelser, förväntningar och gränsdragningar bidrar till skapande av närhet och intimitet. Dessa ber
Interpersonal violence against women is a widely spread problem where one out of three women globally falls victim to violence during their lifetime. The Swedish government constructed 2016 six gender equality policies and one of these policies aims to violence against women to end. Despite this, there is no sign that the violence has decreased, neither in Sweden nor globally. Our empiricism consi
Avvägningen mellan alltmer flexibla arbetsformer och tillräckligt starkt socialt skydd för arbetare inom EU är en komplex balansgång som utsätter lagstiftarna på EU-nivå för stora utmaningar, speciellt mot bakgrund av den begränsade kompetensen som EU har inom arbetsrätten. De senaste årens fokus på de allra modernaste formerna av utsatta arbetstyper har dock lämnat andra former av atypiska anstälThe balance between increasingly flexible working methods and sufficiently strong social protection for workers within the EU is a complex balancing act that exposes legislators at EU level to major challenges, especially in light of the EU's limited competence in labor law. In recent years, however, the focus on the most modern forms of precarious employment forms has overshadowed other forms
Sedan sociala mediers uppkomst har politiker och politiska partier använt sig av nya plattformar för att kommunicera med väljare. Historiskt sett har politiskt varumärkesbyggande ägt rum i traditionella medier, men i takt med samhällets digitalisering har varumärkesbyggandet bytt plattform. Syftet med studien är att undersöka och jämföra ledande svenska politikers kommunikation under 1970- och 201Since the emergence of social media, politicians and political parties have adopted new platforms to communicate with voters. Historically, political branding has taken place in traditional media, however, as society has become more digitalized, such branding has switched platforms. The aim of this study is to examine and compare the communication of leading Swedish politicians during election cam
Research shows that various aspects of environmental injustice can be found even on a local level in Sweden. Still, the topic of environmental justice is often disregarded in local planning processes and ecological and social concerns are often treated as two separate issues. To achieve just and sustainable planning, previous research emphasizes the importance of actively including and considering
Denna studie syftade till att undersöka samband mellan prokrastinering, rutin, livstillfredsställelse, inre motivation och fysisk aktivitet hos studenter på Lunds Universitet. Vidare undersöktes om det går att predicera både prokrastinering och livstillfredsställelse med resterande faktorer, och sist utforskades det om det fanns någon skillnad i resultaten mellan de olika fakulteterna vid universiThis study aimed to investigate the relationships between procrastination, routine, quality of life, intrinsic motivation, and physical activity among students at Lund University.

Under 1980-talet formulerades den officiella målsättningen ’ett narkotikafritt samhälle’. Samtidigt riktades det straffrättsliga fokuset mot konsumenterna och under 1993 infördes fängelse i straffskalan för eget bruk av narkotika. Idag lider Sverige av en hög narkotikarelaterad dödlighet såväl som omfattande problem med den organiserade brottsligheten. Under mars 2022 tillsatte regeringen en utred
