There is an ongoing debate within Swedish public administration regarding whether municipalities can handle contemporary issues that require some amount of coordination as well as whether they are straying from democratic principles. It is argued that the origin of this debate lies in the sectorisation of the Swedish welfare system, where the traditional model has been deemed unfit. There is conce
Integrated Conservation and Development (ICD) strategies in nature conservation are increasingly recognised as a way to protect the world’s remaining rainforest without neglecting the needs of the local people who are dependent on the forest resources for their livelihoods.

People's preferences for income inequality vary, and this research investigates the influence of socioeconomic status on these preferences. Drawing on a structural position theory that considers individuals’ self-interest and rationality to be driven by their socioeconomic status, this paper examines the extent to which socioeconomic status affects the likelihood of accepting income inequality

With the rise in urbanization and cities fulfilling sustainability challenges, companies across the globe are moving towards circularity. One approach adopted towards circularity is of reverse logistics where companies take back EOL/EOU products.

Med den ökade urbaniseringen som de flesta städer står inför, är utbyggnad av större anläggningar och hushåll oundviklig. Denna expansion medför ett behov av mer tillgänglig markyta att bygga på, vilket även innebär att platser med varierande markförhållandena behöver utnyttjas. Detta kan resultera i att markegenskaperna inte alltid är passande för stora anläggningar. En lösning till detta problemWith the increased urbanization major cities are facing, expansion of larger facilities and households are inevitable. Expansion means larger areas of the surface needs to be used where the risk of varying subsurface soil properties increases with larger surface areas. This can result in soil properties that might not be stable enough to support these constructions. A potential solution to solve t
