The aim of this thesis was to analyse and compare how two Swedish parliamentary parties, the Left Party and the Sweden Democrats, have discursively problematized and depicted narcotics through the parties' political motions between the years 2010/11 to 2020/21. This was achieved by collecting all political motions regarding narcotics from each political party during this time span and finally

This thesis aims to provide a deeper understanding of the situation for women in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the pandemic of Covid- 19. Respecting human rights is a conditionality for EU- membership, which Bosnia and Herzegovina applied for in 2015. By drawing on an extensive historical background, conducting an analysis of two documents for directing aid from Sida (the Swedish International Dev

Klimatfrågan är komplex, men handlar i grunden om hur vi människor påverkar jordens atmosfär genom utvinning av fossila bränslen, användning av mark och våra konsumtionsmönster. Källorna till klimatpåverkan är många, vilket vi bland annat kan se i termer av att olika växthusgaser frigörs genom olika typer av mänsklig aktivitet. Växthusgaser har olika egenskaper vad gäller deras potential som pådriIn the collected efforts towards understanding earth’s climate system, and acting on climate change, the time dimension is of central importance. When humanity’s collected activity is carbon-neutral, and how the trajectory towards such a state might look, is a tough question to answer. One thing which does however stand out clearly is the fact that the common practice of having CO2-equivalents be

This thesis contributes to growing critical scholarship investigating co-operative housing projects in relation to their wider socio-political and institutional contexts. It goes beyond normative questions of whether co-operative housing projects are sustainable, or not. Instead, it proposes to utilize an empirical case study on an emerging co-operative housing sector in Finland, as a tool to prob

Work integration social enterprises (WISE) work to help the disadvantaged to enter the labour market and find a job, thereby working to correct a market failure. Research has identified hybridity, the simultaneous work towards two, sometimes contradicting, missions as a core concept of social enterprises. This hybridity can lead to tensions though, which can result in a deviation from the social m

Mediterranean regions have a growing number of extreme weather events due to rapid change of climate. Cork oak, which is located in the western Mediterranean area, has become a very valuable resource within the western Mediterranean forests. Therefore, assessment of the impacts of climate extremes upon cork oak can help us produce better forest management practices for coping with future climate c

The purpose of this paper was to gain knowledge about how our senior citizens living in institutions manage their everyday life. Do they get a say on what should be done and how? Do they want to make their own decisions and is it possible for them to express needs and wishes? Is there a way to combine this sort of influence on your own way of living with the fact that many of these elderly people

Alg som alg - eller? Grönalger är en mångfaldig grupp av primärproducenter som utgör bottennivån av de ekosystem som de är en del av. Dessa organismer binder kol med hjälp av solens energi - djurplankton äter upp grönalgerna - små fiskar äter djurplankton, och så vidare. Skulle något påverka populationen av grönalger riskerar denna påverkan att skapa en kaskadeffekt som påverkar varje steg i närThe unicellular green alga of genus Chlamydomonas are well studied within the fields of photosynthesis and flagellar research. Although many molecular tools have been developed for use on Chlamydomonas, little research has been done on its ecology and population dynamics. Species within the genus are morphologically indistinguishable using light microscopy and as such a molecular method is necessa

Under de senaste 30 åren har all elektronik fått allt mindre storlek. Detta beror på att man har lyckats skala ned de komponenter som bygger upp dagens elektronik till nanoskalan. En av de allra viktigaste strukturerna som har bidragit till den här utvecklingen är nanotrådar, som är i storlek av en miljarddels meter. Nanotrådar är små avlånga strukturer som är kristallina och kan användas att byggIII-V semiconductor material based nanowires have been extensively studied and shown to be a very exciting building block for future electronics. Material systems such as GaSb show a lot of promise in optoelectric and thermoelectric generation applications because of its high electron mobility and small bandgap. Although there is a lot of research about III-V nanowires, a gap in understanding anti

Retrons and Novel Defense Systems Show Activity Against Bacteriophages Bacteria employ a wide array of defense systems against viruses(phages). These defense systems are diverse and novel systems are constantly being uncovered. Retrons are one such example of recently discovered defense systems; although they were discovered in the 1980s, they have only recently been found to play a role in phage

Kombinera halvledarmaterial på atomnivå i nanotrådar Genom att växa nanotrådar och samtidigt studera detta med supermikroskop, kan man styra kristallväxten och utveckla nya materialkombinationer för att skapa framtidens material. Så kallade nanotrådar är i en stavform där diametern är i nm-skalan medan längden kan vara i µm-skalan. Dessa nanotrådar kan vara gjorda av kristallina material och genOne of the ways to utilize III-V nanowires, is to make use of the possibility to combine materials and create heterostructures which allows for creating material combinations with new properties. A special interest can be taken into Sb-containing nanowires due to the high electron mobility, however there has been reported difficulties with switching to other materials because of a 'memory effe

The purpose of this research was to investigate the mediating role of managerial cognition in the adoption and innovation of business models triggered by emerging digital technologies. Firstly, we explored how managers cognitively conceptualize emerging digital technologies (i.e., Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things and Big Data, and the Metaverse) as enriched

Given the rise of new startups and the challenges amplified by events like the Covid-19, it is critical to address the notion of the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem which, in turn, facilitates the development of new ventures. One of the actors within this ecosystem is startup accelerators, which provide networking opportunities, financial and mentoring assistance to new ventures. Previous research on ac

Sustainability reporting has shifted from voluntary to mandatory in the EU under the CSRD requiring companies to adopt a double materiality perspective and adhere to common reporting standards known as ESRS. This regulation aims to enhance transparency, reliability, and comparability of sustainability data, fostering more sustainable business models and changing established management practices. T

För att en person ska kunna dömas för ett brott krävs det att denna har handlat med uppsåt eller i vissa fall oaktsamhet. För att uppsåt ska föreligga ska handlingen ha varit medveten och det ska finnas ett kausalsamband mellan denna och dess följd. Uppsåtsbegreppet är indelat i tre grader: avsiktsuppsåt, insiktsuppsåt och likgiltighetsuppsåt och de är graderade i den ordning de räknades upp med dResearchers who studied alcohol dependence in humans have come to the conclusion that alcoholism affects the brain's neurotransmitters, which means that the brain can begin to function differently about exposing the large amounts of alcohol over a long period of time. An addiction to alcohol is hard to recover from, with many severe withdrawal symptoms as a result. In the current legal situati

Communication today is not something merely taking place face to face, technology such as the internet and social media channels have opened up for endless interactions taking place in the online world. User generated content in the form of online travel reviews come with many challenges and opportunities for organizations. User generated content has been shown to impact a travelers decision in al

Trots att det finns stora möjligheter för att finna synergier mellan övergångsrättvisa och företagande och mänskliga rättigheter har de två forskningsfälten fram tills nyligen sällan undersökts ihop. Denna uppsats har som övergripande mål att bidra till en bättre förståelse för hur de två fälten interagerar när stater rör sig från pågående väpnade konflikter till post-konfliktfaser. I synnerhet ämThe fields of transitional justice and business and human rights have until recently seldom been examined jointly, despite the fact that their approaches reflect plenty of opportunities for potential synergies. This thesis bears the overarching aim of contributing to a greater understanding of how the two fields interact when states are transitioning from active armed conflict to post-conflict pha

Technology transfer (TT) is a process that allows countries to acquire, adapt, deploy, localise and innovate technologies from other countries. In the case of international development, TT can help enhance the technology capabilities of developing countries and empower them to boost their economic development. Facilitating access to technologies through TT is an element often found in UNIDO’s acti
