As of the end of 2023 conflicts, war, violence, human rights violations, and other events disturbing public order have resulted in an estimated 110 million people being displaced from their homes (UNHCR, 2023). This study uses an
While the international community spends enormous amounts of money engaging in peacebuilding efforts, scholars are increasing questioning what effect this actually has on the development of peace. Despite extensive economic contributions to post-conflict societies with the hope of ensuring peace, little development on the ground has been recorded. This raises a question of why provision of economi
My intention in this thesis is to analyze the Second Vatican Council’s understanding of divine revelation christologically. Within the frame of this analysis, I further wish to examine the hypothesis that the post-conciliar concept of revelation holds a constructive potential applicable within Swedish theological discourse. As a result of this, the following main question, enabling a christologica
The present perceptual learning study was conducted in an attempt to investigate to which extent naïve listeners’ L1 prosodic background affected their learning performance of a lexical tone language and whether an auditory-image (AI) training paradigm curtailed the online-learning process of lexical tones. Thirty-three Mandarin-naïve Swedish-native listeners (NS listeners) and 33 Mandarin-naïve E

The thesis aims to investigate the role of local lead firms in the transformation of smallholders’ technological capabilities towards sustainable agriculture production through the lens of global value chain governance. The technological capabilities that help smallholders adopt and apply sustainable agriculture practices and comply with sustainability standards are related to production, investme
Plastic has been a revolutionary material in human history. Plastic materials have several desirable properties, such as durability, low production costs, and versatility. This helps explain the increase in their use and production over the past 100 years. Plastics are synthetic polymers, with long repeating chains of monomers; this creates structures that are chemically stable and durable. The ov
Denna uppsats ämnar till att kritiskt undersöka den föränderliga omfattningen och funktionen hos doktrinen om essentiella faciliteter (Essential Facilities Doctrine, EFD) under artikel 102 FEUF i ljuset av digitala marknader. EFD har traditionellt sett tillämpats enligt de strikta kriterier som fastställdes i Bronner-målet (C-7/97), särskilt kravet på oumbärlighet, och har fungerat som ett snävt uThis thesis critically examines the evolving scope and function of the Essential Facilities Doctrine (EFD) under Article 102 TFEU in the context of digital markets. Traditionally applied under the rigid criteria set out in Bronner (C-7/97), particularly the indispensability requirement, the EFD has served as a narrow exception to the general principle that dominant undertakings are not obliged to
The rapid evolution of digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has fundamentally altered how agreements are formed and executed. Automated contract formations occur when contracts are initiated, negotiated or concluded by software agents or systems with minimal or no human intervention. This presents challenges to traditional legal concepts such a
In Rwanda, the major source of drinking water is surface water, however, the water is heavily polluted by sediments and high turbidity caused by soil erosion. This study aimed to identify temporal and spatial patterns of turbidity along the Mwange- and Nyabugogo rivers in Nyabugogo catchment, Rwanda, and to suggest areas of priority for soil erosion mitigation measures. The research was based on t
This thesis explores how welfare and sustainability are constructed, promoted, and contested within contemporary trade governance and specifically through looking at the EU–Mercosur Association Agreement and the 2026 report by Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil, representing the voice of the Indigenous people there, to explore how fair trade can be promoted in today’s world of volatile glob
Corporate social responsibility is a management concept originating from the Anglo-Saxon background and associated with the tradition of arm’s length relations between business and institutions in society. However, different institutional systems handle organizational innovations in dissimilar ways, and in the age of globalization, national institutions often interact with global ones. This study
This master's thesis presents a qualitative analysis of nine interviews with public library users who identify as dyke, lesbian, or queer. The study focuses on the participants' lived experiences of public libraries and aim to investigate the library's role in the exploration and practice of a queer or lesbian sexual identity. In what ways does the library contribute to and/or obstruct
Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery has developed dynamic gas turbine models to compute performance parameters such as temperature, pressure, mass flow and power during transients. Results from the current dynamic model correspond to measured data except for gas channel temperatures that change too fast during transients. The measurement of gas channel temperature is also a source of error due to th
En sammanvägning av regelverken avseende upphandling och beskattning som en icke-filippinsk leverantör har att beakta vittnar om en stark vilja att främja den inhemska filippinska produktionen och materielförsörjningen. Verkligheten ser dock annorlunda ut. Den filippinska marknaden klarar inte av att tillgodose landets försvarsmakts materielbehov och politiska beslut har öppnat upp marknaden för uA comprehensive study of the legislation concerning procurement and taxa-tion regarding a non-Philippine supplier indicates a strong desire to promote the national Philippine defence production and supply of defence materiel. The reality, on the other hand, is somehow different. The Philippine market does not have the strength to meet the demands of the armed forces and political decisions have be
The substantial growth of private health insurance in 21st century Sweden has sparked debates about its potential effect on waiting times within the public health care system. Some argue that individuals with private health insurance are prioritized in the waiting list for health care, potentially leading to longer waiting times for those without private coverage. Conversely, others argue that pri
