The garment industry is one of the most vulnerable sectors in the world, with bad working conditions. Low wages and not allowed union organizing is every day for most workers, especially in Bangladesh. The workers are considered to living on a minimum wage, which does not cover the basic needs for workers and their family; therefore we need to talk about a living wage. This study is to examine ab

Contracts are used to extend governance on supply chain and platform actors in ways that could not be envisaged when the foundations of current conceptualizations of contractual privity were laid down in the 19th century. This results in a stark contradiction. Firms use contracts to extend governance on actors beyond privity when it suits their interests, for example for reasons of supplychain-wid

Lately the notion of boyhood and masculinity have been elevated into public discourse worldwide. Issues of how boys "become men" have been subject to documentary projects (The mask you Live in, 2015) and journalistic scrutiny. Through issues like "gamer gate" and "Wheaton's law", and the #meetoo twitter uprising the issue of "boys become men", have gained an acute relevance in the public eye. At t

Reindeer pastoralism, practiced by groups of the Indigenous Sámi people in Sweden, is being threatened by a new wave of encroachments. In this paper I take stock of how the Sámi movement has mobilized around grievances related to the ecological conditions that support natural pasture-based reindeer pastoralism. I apply the contentious politics approach to social movement theory, and Felix Kolb’s c

BackgroundDigital applications that automatically extract information from electronic medical records and provide comparative visualizations of the data in the form of quality indicators to primary care practices may facilitate local quality improvement (QI). A necessary condition for such QI to work is that practices actively access the data. The purpose of this study was to explore the use of an

Engaging students in active participation and collaborative learning is an important pedagogical component of teaching and learning in higher education. Teachers use a variety of activities to engage students, such as interactive lectures, presentations, group activities, and projects. A metaphorical understanding of the teaching-learning process may help in the implementation of innovative and gr

Raimo Tuomela’s we-mode groups are partly characterized by norms. Some norms may be characteristic of all we-mode groups, like the norm restricting a member's right to leave the group. Some think that this aspect of Tuomela’s theory has implausible ethical implications concerning the rights and autonomy of members in we-mode groups. That worry vanishes, I argue, on a plausible interpretation of Tu

This report deals with the identification of ATP/ADP translocase genes. In rickettsial species such as Rickettsia prowazekii, which is the cause of epidemic typhus in humans, the utilisation of host cell ATP is the major way that this bacterium employ its toxicity in the host cell. This obligate intracellular bacterium is an energy-parasite. In the genome of R. prowazekii there are five homologs o

Men outnumber women as military drone operators, both in media narratives and in reality, as prominent Western militaries such as the US and the UK have far more men than women in their ranks. In recent years, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has brought newfound attention to the use of drone warfare; specifically, how the media overwhelming spotlights male drone operators. However, portrayals of wome

Gymnasie- och universitetsutbildning var länge en elitens domän. Med ekonomisk tillväxt och ökande teknisk komplexitet växte dock behovet av specialiserad kunskap och färdigheter. Inför och under industrialiseringen tog systemen för högre utbildning emot ett ökande antal studenter och breddades med ett växande utbud av kurser och typer av utbildningsinstitutioner.Danmark, Norge och Sverige utgör rHigh school and university-level education was long an elite pursuit. However, with economic growth and rising technical complexity, the need for specialised knowledge and skills increased. In the run-up to and during industrialisation, higher education systems admitted a growing number of students and diversified across an increasing range of courses and types of educational institutions.Denmark,

Occupying an educational niche, high-fee private schools in the People's Republic of China serve a growing clientele with increasingly refined ideas of what makes up a 'modern', 'international' education. What from a broader perspective looks like a typical example of a world-wide trend towards the commercialization of education, constitutes, in nominally still socialist China, also the return of

The aesthetic and literary genre of dark academia has become popular due to its romanticisation of immersive academic learning and lifestyles. It has however been criticised for its frequent glorification of and focus on Eurocentric educational institutions which celebrate Western patriarchal exclusivity. This thesis examines in how far this is true of the genre’s prominent novels Donna Tartt’s Th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Drömmen om evigt liv och evig ungdom är inte ny. Föreställningarna om vägen dit är ungefär desamma idag som för 300 år sedan. Men de tekniska möjligheterna har vidgat gränserna. Att förbli ung, eller åtminstone se ung ut, är ett ideal som växer sig allt starkare. Åldrande och död ska bekämpas, att hålla sig ung och att leva länge är viktigt. Det gäller att träna och skThe aim of this thesis is to explore discursive changes in conceptions of life course and ageing. In a sense the Life- Span embodies the boundaries of human existence, but furthermore, it symbolizes a discursive system with distinctive symbols and meaning, that regulates and re-construct a cultural context. Hence, a cultures notion of the Life-Span also reveals its images and apprehensions of agei

Popular Abstract in Swedish År 2014 är ordet "kolhydrater" för de flesta människor förknippat med kost och olika dieter. Det må vara en viktig aspekt, men dock långt från den viktigaste. Kolhydrater utför nämligen en rad viktiga processer i levande organismer. Av de 200 mest säljande läkemedelsprodukterna på den amerikanska marknaden 2012, har omkring 75 % av dem en aktiva substans som består av s

Was there a connection between St. Mauritius and the oldest church in Dalby and what is the evidence for such a supposition? And, if such a connection can be established, what can be concluded about its impact on the formation and character of the ecclesiastical setting of early medieval Dalby? The idea about a connection between St. Mauritius and the oldest church in Dalby was introduced by the

In this dissertion in Media History I study the history and development of online journalism in three Swedish local and regional newspapers: Helsingborgs Dagblad, Sydöstran and Ystads Allehanda. The starting point is historical: I have tried to anchor the three newspapers' decision to start their online newspapers in their own history and surrounding society. By following the three newspapers' wor

Competing Institutional Logics in Diaconal Work “Institutional logics” is a concept within the context of institutional theory. Institutions can be defined as patterns of activity rooted in material practices and symbolic systems. These institutional orders are all shaped by the history and each of them has a central logic that guides its organizing principles. The institutional logic provides
