The theoretical perspectives con
Despite the millenary practice of urban agriculture (UA) in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) cities, research conducted on the topic is much more recent and still little is known on the impact UA has on the engaged households in terms of food security, nutrition and health. The overall picture that emerges from the literature is one of stark contrasts; some advocate UA as a tool of empowerment, capable t

Currently, Blockchain Technology (BT) is still in the early stages of development. However, this technology has been used in some governments, organizations, companies, and research institutions. The novelty of BT led to the needs of an organization to understand what drives them to implement it. Besides understanding the drivers of implementing BT, it is also equally necessary to understand the c
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

Linné glacier has retreated approximately 1.8 km since 1936 and 1 km between 1995 and 2019. Linné glacier is following the same trend as other glaciers around Svalbard. Linné glacier is a well-monitored glacier with a time series of air temperature, incoming solar radiation and snow height data since 2003. Annual recordings of the glacier margin from 2007, allows for an accurate reconstruction of
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
I början av 2020 kom Världshälsoorganisationen att tillkännage coronavirusets utbrott som en global nödsituation. Viruset kom sedan att utvecklas till en pandemi och kom att påverka många globala marknader. Bostadsmarknaden har sett en kraftig uppgång i många länder efter den initiala epidemin. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka effekterna av COVID-19, och efterföljande åtgärder som togs, på The global emergency declared by the World Health Organization in early 2020 due to the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 would later develop into a pandemic that has since affected global markets at large. Though its affects have been varied in nature and magnitude, housing markets in many countries have seen a boom since the initial outbreak. This paper seeks to assess how COVID-19, and the domestic measur
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
