According to estimates advanced by the United Nations, the annual SDG funding gap amounts to $2.5 trillion. The covid-19 pandemic further exacerbated the underlying issues as the global recession led to an unprecedented rise in public debts and economic distress triggered by defaults, capital flights and fiscal austerity. In light of these challenges, the Global Investors for Sustainable Developme

Environmental Education [EE] was created in the pursuit of providing specific targets to promote environmental, knowledge, attitudes, skills, participation and creating the societal shift. India was perhaps one of the first nations to have internalized EE in primary school curriculums, however, its application is still far from flawless. Teachers have often been observed as they take a central rol

A lattice model for fibril formation on the basis of general peptide interactions is presented. Fibrils are well-structured protein aggregates and a key phenomenon in many diseases, among them Alzheimer. We study the model’s equilibrium and kinetic properties using Wang-Landau sampling and a Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm with cluster moves. The peptides are shown to form ordered fibrilar aggreg

The notion of design research entails research where design practice forms part of the knowledge production. Based on our characterization of the nature of design, we propose to conceptualize this kind of research as programmatic design research. Two ongoing PhD projects in interaction design are presented as examples of programmatic research processes, highlighting issues to do with the virtues a

The article presents and discusses a number of recent scholarly attempts to investigate theological and/or religious dimensions of music. On the basis of critical interpretations of these (Anglophone and German) contributions the article proposes an interdisciplinary approach to a theological aesthetics of music. Such a methodology necessitates any "theologizing" to respect the singular qualities

In children’s literature nonhuman primates are often represented either as ferocious beasts or as curios and charmful vicarious children. In this article I demonstrate how these different constructions interestingly coexist in the popular story ‘‘The monkey that would not kill’’, written by the Scottish evangelist and professor of the natural sciences Henry Drummond in 1891. My study anchors the f

This paper examines Sweden’s role as a pioneer in mitigating climate change. Critical discourse analysis of climate and energy policy unveils Sweden’s ambition to ‘lead-by-example’, by virtue of a win-win combination of economy and environment via stringent regulations and an early-mover strategy on eco-innovations. The extent of the unilateral approach is constrained by concerns for the competiti

This thesis deals with driving forces for CSR reporting in China. More and more international companies have published their CSR reports under the concern of sustainable development. Chinese companies are facing the environmental and social challenges in China today. CSR reporting has been taken as a sustainable development strategy by the Chinese Central Government and the pioneering Chinese comp

By tradition the humanities have been anthropocentrically focused on the lives of human beings in arts and literature. The limited analysis of what other species do in literature – and of the different relations between humans and animals that are represented – has sustained the notion of a hierachical divide between humans and other species, thereby reducing the ethical potential of literature to

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom ramen för detta forskningsprojekt har det utvecklats två resultat. En operativ teknik – kallad ”Tool for Strategic Territorial Planning (TSTP)” – som hjälper stadsplanerare att visualisera och bättre informera beslutsfattare om vilka effekter olika åtgärder får på fattigdoms bekämpning, har utvecklats. Detta genom att med statistisk information som grund, framställFew planning practices in the South seem to be equipped with key concepts and technical, empirical and administrative capacities required to comprehend and visualize the phenomenon of poverty at inter- and intra-urban levels, which compromises their ability to inform decision-makers on the effects on poverty reduction of the land-based actions they design, implement and monitor. This challenge was

In recent years, Swedish municipalities have introduced programs that combine Swedish language education with vocational training. However, due to the novelty and lack of an established framework, data and research on their effectiveness in improving immigrant labour market performance is limited. This essay addresses this gap by estimating the causal effect of vocational training combined with Sw
