Objectives: Multi-stakeholder partnership is garnering greater attention worldwide as a means of tackling global wicked problems, implementing sustainable development and leveraging development cooperation. By adopting meta-governance approach, this study investigates the case study of Hoi An - A Green Destination partnership in the waste management context of Hoi An city, Vietnam to understand ho

The purpose of this study was to gain deeper knowledge about men’s violence against women and how women comprehended violent incidents in their relationships, and how they made violence understandable for themselves. Our intention was to gain a deeper understanding of the reasons women gave for staying in violent relationships. The method chosen for this study was a thematic analysis, using five d

The purpose of this study was to get a better understanding of how students within the BSc. program in social work at Lund University perceive the phenomena of compassion fatigue and self-compassion in relation to themselves and their preparedness to entering the labor market. Using semi-structured group interviews, this study first compiled the students’ perception and then analyzed it thematical

Thermal comfort is a topic that for the last century has interested designers and researchers. European and International standards have given guidelines for assessment of thermal comfort in typical indoor environments for long occupancy, however the transitory spaces and semi-external spaces have not been addressed. Available literature was reviewed and summarize to find appropriate methods for a

In recent years the rate of fraudulent crime has increased in Sweden. Swedish media has flagged up this development in part by publishing articles focusing on such crimes particularly against the elderly. Elderly victims of fraud are often described as especially vulnerable, not only because of their physical weakness but also because of their gullibility. This description of elderly victims of fr

Uppsatsen syftade till att skapa och testa ett enkelt verktyg att använda inom organisationer för att öka anställdas välbefinnande och förbättra upplevelsen av psykologiska, sociala och organisatoriska arbetsförhållanden. Med teoretisk utgångspunkt i positiv psykologi skapades en tre veckor lång arbetsplatsintervention. De 32 deltagarna var administrativ personal hos en politisk organisation indelThe aim of this study was to create and test a simple tool to use within organizations to increase employee well-being and improve the experience of psychological, social and organizational working conditions. With help of theory from positive psychology, a three week workplace intervention was created. The 32 participants were administrative employees of a political organization, divided into one

Purpose: This study aims to contribute to understanding how the manager's role in strategy implementation effectiveness has changed after transitioning to a hybrid work model. Theoretical perspective: The literature review consists of literature on the managerial role, the hybrid work model, and theory regarding how the manager's role influences the effectiveness of organisational strateg

Oh dear god, how can something so simple become this hard? It’s just a house, I’ve lived in houses before, my entire life actually. But now I’m the one who’s designing it, for me and my family. All of a sudden, this fundamental thing of living and creating a home gets all rusty with the patina of pressure. I can’t oversee anything, I can’t take things for granted. Now, it’s time to decide, or shou

Background: Massive sequencing of genes from different environments has evolved metagenomics as central to enhancing the understanding of the wide diversity of micro-organisms and their roles in driving ecological processes. Reduced cost and high throughput sequencing has made large-scale projects achievable to a wider group of researchers, though complete metagenome sequencing is still a daunting

Purpose – The two-fold purpose of this paper is identifying areas of difficulty in managing the needs of end-users in the course of the design and delivery of construction projects and suggesting possible solutions. Design/methodology/approach – The focus of the paper is the interaction between three principal parties: end-users, project leader (a selected end-user) and facility planner (a facil

Introduction: As the Chinese immigrant population in European countries ages, it is important to gain a deeper understanding of Chinese immigrants’ ageing processes from a life course perspective by recognising the complex interactions between social, cultural, and institutional constructs and dynamics. This article aimed at exploring how older Chinese immigrants in Europe handle everyday lives in

Context. Hot and warm Jupiters might have undergone the same formation and evolution path, but the two populations exhibit different distributions of orbital parameters. This challenges our understanding of their actual origin. Aims. We report the results of our warm Jupiters survey, which was carried out with the CHIRON spectrograph within the KESPRINT collaboration. We addressed the question of

Gene sequences form the primary basis for understanding the relationships among extant plant groups, but genetic data are unavailable from fossils to evaluate the affinities of extinct taxa. Here we show that geothermally resistant fossil cuticles of seed-bearing plants, analysed with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), retain biomolecular suites

Understanding uncertainties in land cover projections is critical to investigating land-based climate mitigation policies, assessing the potential of climate adaptation strategies and quantifying the impacts of land cover change on the climate system. Here, we identify and quantify uncertainties in global and European land cover projections over a diverse range of model types and scenarios, extend

For many polar organic micropollutants, biotransformation by activated sludge microorganisms is a major removal process during wastewater treatment. However, our current understanding of how wastewater treatment operations influence microbial communities and their micropollutant biotransformation potential is limited, leaving major parts of observed variability in biotransformation rates across tr

Background: Animal models of human diseases are often used in biomedical research in place of human subjects. However, results obtained by animal models may fail to hold true for humans. One way of addressing this problem is to make animal models more similar to humans by placing human tissue into animal models, rendering them chimeric. Since technical and ethical limitations make neurological dis

Den här studien syftar till att undersöka hur begreppet hållbarhet konstrueras i Stockholmshems projekt Hållbara Hökarängen. Projektet handlar om Stockholmsförorten Hökarängens utveckling mot en mer socialt, ekologiskt och ekonomiskt hållbar stadsdel. Studien utgår från ett sändarperspektiv och analysen guidas av Foucaults diskursanalytiska perspektiv där vi identifierar de styrtekniker som liggerThis study intends to increase the understanding of how the term sustainability takes form in the project Hållbara Hökarängen initiated by Stockholmshem. The project concerns the Stockholm suburb Hökarängen and it’s development towards social, ecologic and economic sustainability. The study is performed with a transmitter perspective and the analysis is guided by Foucault’s method for dis-course a

Genom en analys av rättspraxis visar studien på skillnad i hur domstolar bedömer straffansvaret. Kravet på kunskap eller medvetenhet om prostitutionen har visat sig vara centralt för att fastställa straffrättsligt ansvar, men tolkningen av vad som utgör ett främjande varierar mellan olika fall. Till exempel anser vissa domar att det är tillräckligt att medvetet bidra till en partners prostitution,This paper examines the criminal liability for procuration under Swedish law, with a particular focus on cases where prostitution occurs within cohabitation or marriage. With the help of a legal-dogmatic method, current law and legal practice are analysed. This paper highlights the legal challenges that arise when everyday activities within close relationships - such as childcare or household chor
