Human rights are the basis by which the dignity of the human being is guaranteed. This is especially important in the relationship between persons and governments, who on the one hand have great power in form of legislation over these persons, but on the other hand must ensure the protection of human rights. A problem may arise when these two opposing forces of the State collide,1 as the individua
Den samiska ursprungsbefolkningens traditionella territorium breder ut sig över delar av Sverige, Norge, Finland och Ryssland. Samisk kultur är starkt kopplad till rennäringen, som kräver vidsträckta och sammanhängande marker där renen ostörd kan få tillgång till naturbete. Den här uppsatsen undersöker nuvarande möjligheter för samer i Sverige att påverka beslutsprocesser rörande användning av marThe traditional territory of the indigenous Sami people stretches into Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia. Sami culture is strongly connected to reindeer husbandry, which requires vast and coherent land where the reindeer can access natural pasture without disturbances. This thesis examines present possibilities for Sami in Sweden to impact decision-making processes regarding use of land and natur

Today, investors look for more than just the potential return a company can bring when making investment decisions. An increased demand to invest sustainably has created a demand for investors to screen companies via ESG scores. In this thesis, we therefore aim to examine if Bloomberg’s ESG disclosure scores can be used as screening tools and proxies for the most common risk and return measures, v
Urban populations are growing rapidly with several environmental and social effects in the process. At a governance level, resources go from being regulated by federal and state institutions into being considered urban areas governed by the local government. Nevertheless, this can neglect the enforcement of existing laws for many reasons that deteriorate urban resources due to a rivalry in the typ
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children and adolescents is increasing in the world and the United States of America (US). Previous research has shown that the nurse has an important role in the management of T2DM in children and adolescents but few studies has covered how the nurses perceive and experience this role. This paper aimed to describe how nurses in the US experience their role and t
Olympic legacy was previously seen as a potential burden on the host city, however an evolutionary shift has occurred whereby it can now be regarded as an instrument in wider urban policy planning. Sustainable development is a requirement set by some governments, and London 2012 aimed to use the Olympic legacy for sustainable development in the form of urban regeneration. This paper is a case stud

Signage for disadvantaged groups is presented differently worldwide. They are indicating different kinds of information, presented in different ways, emphasizing different disadvantaged groups in different countries. Th
Great investments are planned in the north of Sweden the coming years, not the least in the county of Norrbotten where the projects collectively are referred to as the green transition due to the focus on fossil-free techniques. But to be able to secure a sustainable energy supply and reach the goal set by the member states of the European Union of a carbon dioxide neutral union in 2050 the produc
The complement system can be activated by three different pathways in the body. It is wanted to be able to detect deficiencies of these activation pathways and Bioporto A/S has acquired the commercial rights to a set of ELISA based assays. There is a need in these commercial assays for optimisation of dilution and wash buffers since the idea with the ELISA kit is to sell it as a “ready-to-use kit”
One of infiltration ponds used in the preliminary step for drinking water production at Vombverket in the southern part of Sweden was set for the experiment in this study. The pond was split into two sides as one side received the source water from Vomb Lake and (untreated side). For another side, the water from the same source was pre-treated by DynaSand filter and PAC before transferred into the
Introduction The care needs of cancer patients can vary greatly across the course of their serious illness. Despite national efforts to promote supportive care – early integrated palliative care – in Sweden, systemic barriers such as ambiguous terminology and stigma complicate this development. Region Skåne Serious Illness Database (RSSID) is being developed to collect large-cohort data for condu
Contemporary processes of radicalization into far-right extremism are increasingly shaped by digital, online communication environments that convey ideology through multiple communication modes, as well as aesthetic and culturally embedded forms of expression. Short-form content platforms such as TikTok enable fast production and circulation of highly engaging content that creates communicative ar
This thesis examines the extent to which relational preconditions for innovation are institutionalised within the governance framework of the third pillar of Horizon Europe. Departing from the observation that existing research on EU innovation governance has focused predominantly on funding mechanisms and regulatory instruments, the study addresses a conceptual gap: while innovation theory consis
Background Climate change has become one of the leading drivers of global food insecurity, and its effects are felt most strongly in regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa. As environmental degradation and climate-related stresses increasingly affect agricultural production, large buyers of food com- modities become exposed to growing environmental sourcing risks.

After being diagnosed with lung cancer, approximately 50% of patients continue smoking or frequently relapse after a quit attempt. Given the importance of smoking cessation treatment for cancer survivors, the objective was to compare the effective
