På grund av den snabba förändringen i det audiovisuella medielandskapet får konsumenterna och särskilt minderåriga alltmer tillgång till medieinnehåll via andra digitala plattformar än traditionella TV och video on demand tjänster. Av den anledningen är det idag mer lönsamt för företag att annonsera genom produktplacering och sponsring på plattformar för videodelning som inte regleras inom ramen fDue to the rapidly changing pace of the audiovisual media landscape, consumers and especially minors are increasingly accessing media content via other digital platforms than traditional television and on-demand services.

Ekosociala åtgärder i befintlig utemiljö - En studie som kartlägger Lunds kommuns samverkan med fastighetsägare Kommuner har fått ett allt större ansvar och större uppdrag när det kommer till hållbarhet. Kommuners hållbarhetsarbete och uppsatta mål är ofta sammankopplat med både nationella och globala avtal vilket kräver samverkan då kommuner ensamma inte besitter egen rådighet eller har råd Previous research indicate that social and ecological sustainability dimensions are handled separately within the work of goal fulfilment. Important key actors are having a hard time finding synergies between them which leads to a slower green and healthy transformation of cities. On the local level, this problem is connected to the decentralization of municipalities due to their growing assig

Therefore, this research aims to address this gap and explore female BDSM practitioners&#

En av anledningarna till att Europeiska Unionen tilldelades Nobels fredspris år 2012 är den roll som organisationen har spelat för utvecklingen av mänskliga rättigheter i Europa, trots att det finns avsevärda oklarheter kring hur stort inflytande gällande rättigheter som EU faktiskt utövar.
