But when the trade of human beings that increasingly grew in size was no longer possible to ignore, the United Nations tried
Syftet med denna studie var att ta reda på om rollförväntningar, social interaktion samt demografisk data kunde predicera om brevbärare drivs av inre eller yttre motivation. Ytterligare ett syfte var att ta reda på om dessa faktorer kunde förklara någon unik varians i den yttre eller inre motivationen. En enkät sändes till 120 brevbärare på 10 olika kontor och svarsfrekvensen var 80 procent. 28 peThe purpose with this study was to explore if role expectance, social interaction and demographic data could predict whether a person derives from extrinsic or intrinsic motivation.

A survey was sent to 120 mailmen on 10 different offices and the response was

The recycling sector and the solid waste management systems (SWMS) in developing countries greatly rely on scavengers, a vulnerable and marginal urban population that recover items or materials to be reused or recycled. As a new mindset towards waste emerges, considering it a resource instead of something useless and undesirable; governments, NGOs, private companies and other stakeholders slowly r
Sustainability Science (SS) has, as of today, no explicit agreement on which philosophy of science should be used to guide its research. Though SS is a broad and often diffuse concept, there are certain guiding principles which are generally agreed on. Based on these principles, it has been seen if Critical Realism (CR) could be an appropriate meta-theory for SS. The approach used is therefore pri
I Sverige uppskattas den offentliga upphandlingen omsätta omkring 500 miljoner kronor per år. Dessa stora ekonomiska värden ger det offentliga makt att påverka privata aktörer och gör att upphandling kan bli ett viktigt politiskt styrmedel. I vilken utsträckning socialpolitiska målsättningar ska kunna främjas genom offentlig upphandling har dock varit föremål för diskussion. I den här uppsatsen haIn Sweden, public procurement annually accounts for approximately SEK 500 million. With these large economic values, the public has the power to influence private actors. In this way, procurement can be an important policy tool. To what extent public procurement can be used to promote social objectives has been subject to discussion. In this essay, I have chosen to investigate the scope provided f
