Reindeer husbandry has long been a central element of the traditional livelihood and culture of indigenous Sami people in northern Sweden. However, it faces several challenges from competing land uses, primarily forestry. Different forest conditions are desired by forestry and reindeer husbandry to accommodate each sectors’ distinct interests, promoting high timber and pulp production or improved

Äldre anställdas ställning på arbetsmarknaden är onekligen osäker. I detta arbete försöker jag att räta ut och förstå hur äldre arbetstagare är skyddade på arbetsmarknaden genom att undersöka hur gällande rätt är designat. Detta görs genom en komparativ studie mellan Sverige och Kina, där en rad olika undersökningsområden kopplat till anställningsskydd för äldre bearbetas. Arbetet berör och förklaThe status of the elderly on the labour market is undeniably precarious. In this thesis, I am trying to straighten out how the elderly are protected on the labour market and how the legislation to protect them is designed. This is done through a comparative study between Sweden and China, where a number of research areas associated with employment protection for elderly are processed. I am, in thi

The global pandemic of Covid-19 has drastically changed the behaviour of citizens around the world. This research aims to identify actions that ensure low-carbon, inclusive forms of mobility that respond to the behavioural changes during Covid-19. The city of Hamburg, Germany, and its problems with transport-related emissions and socio-economic inequalities serve as a representative case study. Th

I slutet av 2019 presenterade Kommissionen meddelandet om den gröna given – EU:s nya tillväxtstrategi för att nå klimatneutralitet 2050. Den nya strategin fick till följd att Kommissionen tog initiativ till en revision av TEN-E. Ett av TEN-E:s syften är att underlätta genomförandet av PCI vilka antas enligt särskilda urvalskriterier i artikel 4 TEN-E. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda hur dessa urvalIn 2019, the European commission presented the Green Deal - the EU's new growth strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The new strategy led the Commission to initiate a review of the legislation regarding TEN-E. One of the purposes of TEN-E is to adopt PCI projects. The purpose of the essay is to examine how these selection criteria may change due to the Green Deal by addressing two

By testing theories from the likes of Seymour Martin Lipset and Francis Fukuyama, this thesis aims to illuminate the correlations between the size of a nation’s middle class and the stability and rigor of its democracy. Using quantitative data on democracy and middle class size in the time surrounding the financial crisis of 2008-2010, this thesis illustrates the parallel declines in both democrac

Det senaste decenniet tenderar antalet barn som har en oroande skolfrånvaro öka enligt flera Svenska organisationer och myndigheter och bland dessa barn finns en stor andel med NPF-problematik. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka konsekvenserna för föräldrar med barn som diagnostiserats med autismspektrumtillstånd (AST) som också har eller haft en problematisk skolfrånvaro under det senaste The past decade, the number of children who have had a worrying school absence seems to increase according to several authorities in Sweden. The aim of this study was to explore the consequences for parents with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who also have or had to have a problematic school absence this past year. The analyze focused on the consequences regarding social re

Research suggests that polyphenols, such as anthocyanins, that are found in considerable amounts in many types of berries, contributes with a positive effect on human cognition. However, clinical trials are warranted to support these findings. Preparation for such a trial includes developing a berry-rich study product and a corresponding reference beverage. Phenolic compounds are highly unstable a

The lack of accountability for human rights violations arising out of the activities of multinational enterprises has been identified as a key impediment to the fulfillment of universal human rights and the corresponding access to remedy for victims. However, the last couple of years have witnessed an increasing movement to bridge the accountability gap on the national and international level. Th

De senaste åren har svenska domstolar ställts inför en ny invändning i våldtäktsmål. Invändningen gäller sexsomni vilket innebär att den tilltalade begått den sexuella handlingen i sömnen och att uppsåt för handlingen således har saknats. När åklagaren i dessa fall inte lyckats motbevisa invändningen har domstolen tvingats fria den tilltalande från ansvar. En tidigare historia av somnambulism elleIn the past few years Swedish courts have been faced with a new objection in cases concerning rape. The objection is that of sexsomnia which means that the defendant committed the sexual act in their sleep and therefore lacked criminal intent for their actions. When the prosecution in these cases have not been able to offer evidence to disprove the objection, the courts have had to present a non-g

The purpose of this candidate essay is to investigate whether there are any differences in how female and male party leaders are portrayed in news articles. To establish a reasonable level of abstraction, the essay has focused on Nyamko Sabuni and Johan Pehrson as the two party leaders under investigation. By using qualitative content analysis, this essay has developed and utilized a coding scheme

Kameraövervakning av offentliga platser är en ständigt debatterad fråga, där förespråkarna framhåller de trygghetsskapande och brottsförebyggande effekterna medan kritikerna beskriver övervakningen som ett hot mot den personliga integriteten. Teknikutvecklingen har inneburit en framväxt av nya övervakningsmetoder, som förutom att utgöra billigare, lättillgängligare och mer effektiva alternativ tilSurveillance of public spaces through camera monitoring is a highly debated issue. While the those advocating the practice highlight the sense of security it provides and its positive effects on crime prevention, critics view such sur-veillance as a threat to the right to respect for their private life. Technological advancements have led to the emergence of new surveillance practices, which on on

I november 2022 inleddes herrarnas fotbolls-VM i Qatar, en turnering som arrangeras av FIFA. Under förberedelserna inför fotbolls-VM rapporterades det från flera håll om kränkningar av framför allt migrantarbetares mänskliga rättigheter, bland annat i form av långa och varma arbetsdagar, låga och obetalda löner och i värsta fall dödsfall på arbetsplatserna. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att unIn November 2022, the men’s soccer World Cup in Qatar, a tournament organized by FIFA, commenced. During the preparations for the World Cup, there were numerous reports of violations of human rights, in particular regarding the rights of migrant workers. These violations have included reports of long and hot working days, low and unpaid wages and, in worst cases, deaths at the workplace. The aim o

Each year millions of people receive emergency relief items from humanitarian organizations following disasters and crises. While significant time and resources have been invested in identifying the needs of affected populations and how to address those needs, significantly less focus has been given to environmental impacts of these response operations. These impacts can result in substantial nega

This thesis is essentially a project in theory- and method-building. It engages the strengths of Vaughan-Williams’ alternative border imaginary under the name of the generalised biopolitical border (GBB) in accounting for the complexity of border phenomena in contemporary global politics. However, it identifies two major shortcomings related to Vaughan-Williams’ application of the GBB to various e

In this thesis an optimization of a previously performed inclusive search for beyond Standard Model Physics in same-sign di-lepton final states is performed, but tuned for a doubly-charged Higgs boson decaying to same-sign di-muons. The doubly-charged Higgs boson is a proposed fundamental particle whose existence would provide evidence for theoretical extensions of the Standard Model (SM) of parti
