Political-economic patronage networks were embedded in state institutions and dominated Armenia’s political economy that resulted in alleged illicit enrichment by various means.1International assessments of Armenia’s anti-corruption efforts by 2018 acknowle

Digital platforms have become a crucial tool for career planning, especially for young people in the beginning of their careers. Today’s students must navigate numerous career options while adapting to new digital norms around personal branding and showcasing success. These platforms provide valuable opportunities for inspiration and building a professional identity, enhancing career planning. How

Sustainability has become one of the key challenges in the fashion industry, which has been criticized for intense resource use, severe environmental impacts and wasteful business model. There have been a lot of new attempts and initiatives to promote sustainable fashion consumption. Collaborative consumption has been highlighted as one of the alternatives to conventional mass consumption. The ide

The reality in terms of operational competence has changed. The past tradition of assessing procedural compliance of the individual Air Traffic Controller is today challenged in a dynamic and intractable socio-technical system like Air Traffic Management. Changes in technology and complex system interdependencies, call for an enhanced understanding of the interaction and coupling between the human

The aim of this study was to examine what factors that affect social workers, at the social services in Sweden, assessments regarding support for clients having problems with drug abuse. More specifically the aim was to find out how the social workers own perceptions regarding clients who use narcotics affect their assessments in relation to their depth of discretion and the clients motivation for

In this thesis I have attempted to explore flexibility of work outside the sectors which are most often associated with the concept of flexibility in ‘the new economy’, e.g. work in ICT-sectors. Through a case study of cleaners and cleaning work in Sweden I have attempted to discuss both how flexibility is represented and how consequences of flexibility can be understood in relation to experiences

This study examines how young women who have lived under honor-based violence and oppression describe their experiences in self-biographical narratives, with particular attention to how gender, family structures, culture, migration, and social position shape their everyday lives and opportunities for self-determination. The empirical material consists of two Swedish self-biographies by Elaf Ali (2

Objectives: Wildlife in Kenya, much like globally, is under significant pressure. In Kenya alone, there has been a 60 percent decrease in species and the remaining wildlife is faced with habitat loss and climate change, among others. The study of conservation practices - responding to the many challenges underlying the “sixth mass extinction” - has never been more relevant. All the more so is the

Syfte: Syftet med arbetet är att jämföra byggmetoderna stolpverk och regelverk ur aspekterna tid, kostnad, materialåtgång, byggnadsmetoder, kompetens och design. Frågorna man ställde var: Frågeställning: Hur skiljer sig ett hus byggt med stolpverks metoden kontra ett likvärdigt hus byggt med regelverks metoden? Vilka för- och nackdelar finns det med stolpverkshus jämfört med regelverkshus? MeAim: The purpose of the work is to compare construction methods of timber framing and stud framing from the aspects of time, cost, material consumption, construction methods, competence and design. The questions asked were: Research questions: How does a house built with the timber frame method differ from an equivalent house built with the stud framing method? What are the advantages and disad

In this thesis, two methods were developed for a web-based GIS to make the spatial perspective of flood disaster risk reduction and response accessible. Flood disaster can cause major disruption to the street network, which further affects the emergency services and evacuation work in finding the safest and fastest routes. Thus, a method for dynamic street network analysis was developed and implem

European rivers experience increased loading of total organic carbon (TOC) from terrestrial sources due to factors involving changes in land use, climate and soil acidity. However, little is known about how increased TOC is linked to changes in the bioreactivity of organic matter in these rivers on a continental scale. We compiled paired measurements of TOC and biological oxygen demand in 5‐day 20

The process of transforming the industrial economy into a society largely based on the production and dissemination of information and knowledge has widespread implications for cities and regions as well as organisations and individuals. And while the economy is increasingly global, the differences in economic development between cities and regions will not necessarily disappear. Indeed, the diver

There is a growing interest within place branding research for how experiences of safety influence the image of the city (e.g. Coaffee and Van Ham, 2008).Previous research demonstrates that fear is socially constructed and amplified by mass media (Avraham and Ketter, 2008) and social media (Doosti et al., 2016; Jansson, 2018). The realm of media has become more complex in an era characterised as p

Cognitive impairments (CI), associated with the consequences of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, are increasingly prevalent among older adults, leading to deterioration in self-care, mobility, and interpersonal relationships among them. Innovative Assistive Technologies (IAT) such as electronic reminders and surveillance systems are considered as increasingly important tools to facilitate

Approximately 20% of the population experience long-term pain. Women are generally more affected than men. Currently, pain researchers advocate a biopsychosocial perspective, which emphasises the importance of addressing psychological and social factors as well as biomedical ones in clinical practice. However, previous research shows that this holistic perspective is not always materialized in med

Aim. The aim of this study is to examine associations between caregiver burden, perceived health and sense of coherence in family caregivers to persons with dementia living at home. Background. Most of the studies on family caregivers have focused on burden and morbidity. However, the caregiver's sense of coherence and perceived health have not been studied earlier in relation to caregiver burden.

Globalisering av ekonomin, människors rörelser över nationsgränser såväl som ett ökat fokus på gränskontroller och säkerhet, har utmanat och delvis destabiliserat idéer om nationell tillhörighet och solidaritet. En sådan utveckling bidrar till att nya gränser skapas, den separerar medborgare från icke-medborgare och skapar hierarkier av “värdiga”/”icke-värdiga”. Denna avhandling bidrar till analysGlobalisation of the economy, as well as movement of people and increasing securitisation of borders, have challenged and to different degrees destabilised forms of national belonging and solidarity. Such developments produce new borders and boundaries, separate citizens from non-citizens and create hierarchies of “deservingness”. This dissertation contributes to the analysis of these developments
