Since the year 2000, achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) has become the central focus of the international community. Using an empowerment framework, this study assessed the impacts of the four projects associated with Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) or its Nigerian blueprint, National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS). It gathered data with semi-structu

The purpose of this study to investigate how the presence of phospholipid vesicles affect alpha-synuclein fibrillation different than when alpha-synuclein fibrillated in buffer, hydrophobicity during the aggregation process, mon
Sammanfattning En stor del av västvärlden står inför en demografisk förändring bestående av en allt åldrande befolkning i kombination med ett lägre barnafödande. För att möta detta behov förenklades 2008 det juridiska ramverket i Sverige gällande arbetskraftsinvandring från tredje land. Det nya regelverket innebär att den tidigare arbetsmarknadsprövningen togs bort, istället blev det den enskildeSummary Many Western countries are on the verge of a demograhpic change. This change consists of an aging population in combination with a decreasing birth rate. To meet the need following the labour shortage, the Swedish migration framework was modified in 2008. In the new framework the former labour market examination was abolished. Instead the individual employer became the decision maker of w

The purpose of the thesis is to analyze the recent growth figures of China and understand whether China will be able to sustain its outstanding economic growth pattern, in a time when it needs to rebalance its economy from investments towards domestic consumption. In fact, if China does not rebalance its economy to a consumption-led economy, it might face difficulties to repay the massive investm

Methodology: We used a framework based on the Vector Auto-Regression approach. Additionally, the Difference-in-Difference regression approach was employed in order to briefly generalize our results. Empirical foundation: The empirical data employed comes
The economic slowdown that started to be felt internationally in 2008 has put in doubt the effectiveness and the legitimacy of labor force migration policies. In the European case, such consequences had even greater implications since some of the worst hit countries have been exactly those which have adopted a total openness toward the legal immigration field. Therefore, the economic crisis inevit
Ett av de uttalande målen för det gemensamma systemet för mervärdesskatt är att förhindra skatteflykt, skatteundandragande och missbruk. Dessa koncept besläktade i den bemärkelse att de alla hindrar att skattesystemet tillämpas på det sätt som det avsetts att göra. Dock finns det betydande, inneboende skillnader i koncepten och hur de tillämpas. Genom avgörandet i Halifax-domen slog Domstolen en gOne of the explicit objectives for the common VAT-system is to prevent tax evasion, -avoidance and -abuse. These concepts are related in the sense that all three concepts aim to prevent that the provisions of the system are applied in a manner that conflicts with the purpose of the system and the provisions. There are however substantial, inherent differences between the concepts and the way that
This thesis examines how the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that India is currently negotiating with the European Union (IndEUFTA) may impede the production of Indian generic version of HIV/AIDS medicines and thereby hinder access to HIV/AIDS medicines. The reason for discussing specifically HIV medicines in the context of Indian generic manufacture is important in two ways. First, considering the dis
In this research study, which has focused on Swedish lifestyle migrants in Lisbon (Portugal), the attitude towards the phenomenon of lifestyle migration has been investigated more deeply. Lifestyle migration is an academic concept that describes the people who are relatively privileged and who move to a cheaper country to improve their quality of life. The phenomenon has grown significantly since
Knowledge is a key element in the transition to sustainable agriculture. Focusing on the biodynamic viticulture in Switzerland, this thesis investigates how winegrowers learn to change their practices to produce, without synthetic pesticides, in the context of conventional agriculture hegemony. The interviews conducted with biodynamic winegrowers, having carried out a transition, resulted in sever
Despite the international norm against the recruitment and use of child soldiers, some rebel groups continue to recruit children while others do not. Why is this so? This thesis explores the relationship between the translation of child protection norms and child soldier recruitment in four countries of West Africa: Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, and Mali. Building on the three-dimension mod
The term “utsatta områden”, understood as socially vulnerable areas, is highly relevant within the Swedish criminal policy discourse where the Swedish Police Authority’s definition of vulnerable areas function as both foundation and support for a variety of political strategies concerning social interventions as well as penal policies. However, the criteria of vulnerable areas have come to be link
In this thesis, I investigate the effect of introducing Right-to-work laws on wages and the dispersion of wages in the United States, using a staggered Difference in Difference model pioneered by Callaway & Sant’Anna (2021) on wages and individual wage quantiles. Introducing Right-to-work laws appear to have a generally positive effect on wages and wage dispersion for all wages. The effects ar
This study investigates the policy interpretations of development as a concept in the Czech international development cooperation. The rapid transitional experience of countries in Central and Eastern Europe from aid recipient to aid donor claims to have established a unique type of donor, distinct from other major traditional donors, specifically in regard to their approaches to development.

Fokus på offentliga diskussioner och vetenskapliga utforskningar som berör intim human-robot-interaction blir alltmer framträdande. Likväl saknas det psykometriska instrument avsedda för explorationen av intim social kontakt mellan människa och social robot. Det övergripande syftet med denna studie var att utveckla ett nytt psykometriskt test, Robot Intimate Receptiveness Scale (RIRS) för undersökPublic discussions and scientific inquiries centered around human-robot relationships are rapidly gaining momentum. As artificial intelligence integrates into new social landscapes, corresponding scientific explorations are called for. As of today, there are no psychometric instruments tailored to measure intimate social contact within human-robot contexts. In the light of this gap, the primary ob
