Abstract At face value, Nike’s Girl Effect campaign and Coke’s 5by20 project appear promising, with no potential complexities or ambiguities. However, analysts of corporate-led development have argued that such approaches to development draw on colonial stereotypes of girls and women as sexually and culturally constrained. This thesis aims to investigate these representations of girls and women in
Shredder residues of end-of-life vehicles and white goods are a complex waste stream, which nowadays most often is disposed of at industrial landfills. This paper describes the most important findings concerning the complex composition of the landfill leachate and its on-site, year-round treatment under cold-climate conditions. A 3-year investigation has confirmed that concentrations of different
This essay compares the two Swedish municipalities Landskrona and Värnamo, in order to understand the difference in achieved integration on the labor market. By using Mill’s method of disagreement, and conducting interviews with persons with key positions in the integration process, based on theories of integration, the essay reaches the conclusion that authorities can be the difference between su
The thesis describes and analyzes individuals' experiences of reduced working hours with retained salary, as well as how this could potentially enable an improved work-life balance. It also investigates how participants experienced pros and cons with reduced working hours. The topic is relevant due to the ongoing societal debate about whether the current 40-hour workweek in Sweden shoul
Klimatförändringen förväntas orsaka 20-25% kraftigare regnoväder i Sverige vilket, tillsammans med urbaniseringen, ökar sannolikheten för översvämningar i urbana områden. En översvämningen kan innebära stora materiella skador och kostnader för samhället. För att förebygga dessa behövs mer kunskap om vilka områden i staden som är mest utsatta. Information om var och när stora vattenmängder väntas kClimate change is expected to cause 20-25% heavier rainfall in Sweden which, in combination with the ongoing urbanization, increases the probability of flooding in urban areas. These floods may cause large infrastructural damage and economical costs. Therefore, adequate models for overland flow are needed to identify high-risk areas where mitigating actions should be performed. In this thesis a ne
The Permanent Establishment (PE) concept plays a key role in the distribution of taxing rights between States by determining when the profits derived by an entity are taxable in a State other than the State of its residency. This concept, originally, evidenced the existence of sufficient economic allegiances between a non-resident entity and a State to justify taxation therein. However, the evolut
Background: Sedation is often provided to resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients to tolerate post-cardiac arrest care, including temperature management. However, the evidence of benefit or harm from routinely administered deep sedation after cardiac arrest is limited. The aim of this trial is to investigate the effects of continuous deep sedation compared to minimal sedation o
The authors investigate to what extent an evaluation of legal evidence in terms of coherence (suggested by Thagard, Amaya, Van Koppen and others) is reconcilable with a probabilistic (Bayesian) approach to legal evidence. The article is written by one author (Dahlman) with a background in the bayesian approach to legal evidence, and one author (Mackor) with a background in scenario theory. The aut
This article is about the relation between (slow) memory and solidaric practices through the lens of a Warsaw-based activist group called Polskie Babcie (Polish Grandmothers). Driven by concerns for their grandchildren’s future, these grandmothers leaned heavily on memories as they manifested their support for the rule of law, the environment, LGBTQ+ rights, and more, during the rule of the nation
Background: The separate spheres, in which men dominate the public sphere of politics, arts, media, and wage work and women dominate the private sphere of unpaid production and caring, is a powerful configuration in much social theory (including Parsons, Becker, and Goode), which posited that with industrialization, family structures and activities would converge towards the nuclear family with st
Background: One way to facilitate the translation of research into the occupational health service practice is through clinical practice guidelines. To increase the implementability of guidelines it is important to include the end-users in the development, for example by a community of practice approach. This paper describes the development of an occupational health practice guideline aimed at the
A search for a new pseudoscalar Formula Presented-boson produced in events with a top-quark pair, where the Formula Presented-boson decays into a pair of muons, is performed using Formula Presented Formula Presented collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of Formula Presented. The search targets the final state where only one top quark
Microplastic particles are of increasing environmental concern around the globe and recent studies have shown that these particles are present in the entire water column, thus affecting a range of zooplankton including copepods that have a vital role in the marine food web. This study investigated whether microplastic beads have an effect in the filtration rate in the copepod Acartia tonsa, which
