This study addresses the impact of witnessing different types of school bullying on Turkish school students who are bystanders. The primary aim is to investigate how the type of bullying (direct/indirect; ostracism/devaluation) affects the perception of bullying and the roles witnesses take. Additionally, we explore whether gender, global state self-esteem, and identification with one’s school acc
The Yellow River Basin Commission (YRCC) is struggling with demand and supply water imbalances due to inter-jurisdictional rivalries, and has consequently promoted the development of water rights trading to incentivize provinces from not exceeding their allocated withdrawals in the Yellow River Basin (YRB). This thesis employs the case of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region to examine factors that facil
For this research, two satellite products were used to see if it was possible to improve the resolution and quality of the global radiation interpolation in the Netherlands. The first data source was from the Climate Monitoring Satellite Application Facility (CM-SAF). The second data source was the Surface Insolation under Clear and Cloudy Skies (SICCS) from the KNMI. Both products were available f
För människan är en grundläggande miljökvalitet en nödvändig förutsättning för liv och livskvalitet. Eftersom vi vill leva är miljökvalitet eftersträvansvärt. För människan är även förutsebarhet en viktig förutsättning då den gör det möjligt att planera sin tillvaro och känna trygghet. För att få förutsebarhet är juridik ett viktigt medel. Det kan dock finnas ett spänningsförhållande mellan juridiFor humankind, an elementary level of quality in the environment is a necessary precondition for life and life quality. Therefore, it is also desirable since we want to live. For humankind, foreseeability is also an important precondition since it makes it possible to plan one’s life and feel secure. In order to get foreseeability, law is an important means. However, there can be a tension between

In recent years the focus on indigenous peoples’ self-determination has been increasing. However, the debate on how to achieve this is rather divided. This study examines whether Slowey’s (2008) theoretical assumption, that market-inclusion leads to increased self-determination, holds in a different context. In the study, the theory is applied to indigenous peoples’ market-inclusion through intell
The expansion of large-scale wind energy projects in the name of climate change mitigation has led to numerous social conflicts in Oaxaca. The Mexican government has put forward environmental policies that envision 35% of the national electricity to be generated by renewable sources in 2024. The urgency to achieve these climate change goals has been used to favor corporate projects that have been
The conflict between humans and elephants (HEC) in Sri Lanka is severe. Due to habitat fragmentation and resource reduction elephants increasingly roam in areas with human settlements. These human-elephant interactions often lead to losses on both sides, which should be prevented. The Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWC) holds all decision-making powers which enables them to implement solutio
How should we deal with city planning in a world that is rapidly turning urban, without destroying valuable nature assets along the way? The last decades are proof that the system we are using today is not up to the challenge. Therefore this thesis is showing a new approach to how comprehensive city planning can grow from nature based values and a deeper understanding of a city’s foundation. Toda
Despite the fast food industry’s significant contribution to climate change, climate action plans are not common practice. Furthermore, there is a lack of academic works devoted to researching climate change issues within the fast-food industry. This thesis project examined the Swedish fast food chain MAX Burgers’ involvement with climate responsibility. By applying an internal and external influe
As institutional racism and the underrepresentation of BAME have become world-wide central issues, the question of equal opportunities for upward mobility in the labour market and social mobility for this particular community are at the forefront, including the UK context. Evidence suggests that BAME have unequal access to opportunities for career progression in the workplace and that upward mobil
Within the international human right law scholarship and philosophy of human rights, there is no clear picture how human rights, old and new, emerge from the ground, from the small idea that a new human right is needed. There is no theory why and how human rights emerge, as well as there is no methodology how the idea could come through the process of development, then emerge as a human right in t
When hearing the word ‘terrorism’ something will come to mind, whether it is images from 9/11, 7/7 or any other attack, pictures from terrorist camps in Syria, or something else related to terrorism. But what is terrorism, and can the word be defined sufficiently enough to be used by courts of law? This thesis examines the Swedish courts’ interpretation and application of the legal definition of t
Colombia committed to reduce 20% of its emissions by 2030 in the framework of Paris Agreement. The study provides a systemic approach that considers the two main drivers of the emissions in the country to know how realistic is the mentioned intended National Determined Contribution (iNDC). It analyzes deforestation and road transport with a methodology that combines analyses of their current situa
The migration politics in Sweden have changed drastically within the past years as it has introduced stricter asylum policies and higher securitisation of borders. As a result, an increased number of people are forced to live as undocumented migrants, meaning without a legal permit to stay in the country. This thesis aims to contribute to the analysis of this development by investigating the role

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is quickly moving from mere imagination to material reality. As I write, billions of dollars are flowing into this nascent industry from government, philanthropy, and venture capital; this thesis thus attempts to grasp history as it flies. By employing a Marxist theoretical approach, including concepts like the real subsumption of nature and the spatiotemporal fix, I d
The aim of this thesis is to contribute to highlighting how economic environmental and climate ideas are expressed in the Secretariat of the World Trade Organization and to compare this with how they are expressed in other international organisations. In the article The evolution of ideas in global climate policy, Jonas Meckling and Bentley B. Allan map the evolution of economic environmental and
Denna studie utforskar hur betydelse av psykometriska tester inom rekrytering konstrueras och upprätthålls under processen av meningsskapande. Resultatet visar att rekryterare skapar mening av psykometriska tester utifrån en ram av objektivitet. För att upprätthålla den ramen använder de fem skyddande meningsskapande strategier i form av minimerande av begränsningar, användande av metaforer, analoThis study explores how meaning about psychometric testing within recruitment is constructed and sustained through the process of meaning making. The result shows that recruiters view psychometric tests through a frame of objectivity. To maintain that frame, they use five protective meaning making strategies such as downplaying limitations, using metaphors, analogies, narratives and dialogues.
