With the world heading towards a global increase of temperature of more than 1.5°C, societies are trying to limit the dependence on fossil fuel by adopting renewable energy sources in order to limit the emission of greenhouse-gases. This master thesis strove to find a methodology to integrate renewable energy and optimisation measures in the industries of food and beverage to make them more sustai
The adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation proclaimed Europe’s stance on the significance of the right to data privacy today whereas digital technologies have prevailed all around the globe and all spheres of our lives. Digitalization is thus a phenomenon that has ever since drawn attention from leaders and policymakers which why the Regulation along with other European privacy regimes
Citizens of the member states of the EU generally lack knowledge about the EU. This gives the media an important role in shaping public opinion. Media ascribing attributes to a subject of public discussion, is referred to as second level agenda setting. One recurring critique against the EU is its lack of democracy. In the scholarly debate, this phenomenon has been labelled the democratic deficit
Infiltration är en av polisens spaningsmetoder och inträffar när en polis eller en civil, på uppdrag av polisen, tar sig in i en kriminell verksamhet i syfte att skaffa information om eller avslöja brott. Lagregleringen och kontrollfunktioner av infiltration är bristfällig och infiltration kan därför skapa risker för rättssäkerheten i en rättsstat. Centralt för bedömningen är Peczeniks definition Infiltration is a police surveillance method which occurs when a police officer or a civilian, on behalf of the police, gets in contact with a criminal group in order to obtain information about or reveal crimes. The text of law and functions of control of infitration are deficient and infiltration can create risks for the rule of law in a state governed by law. Central to the assessment is Peczen
Background and issue of study: The global financial crisis, climate change, demographic changes, and rising inequality are some of the global trends that put pressure on public leaders and organizations, civil society organizations and corporations to shift to a social and environmental sustainable development. Social innovations are demanded to be both drivers of positive societal change and forc
Inledning Tjänstefelsbestämmelsen återfinns i 20:1 BrB och har diskuterats kriminalpolitiskt under lång tid, vilket medfört att tjänstefelsansvarets stränghet varierat. Frågeställningen blir då vilka argument som framförts för och mot kriminalisering av tjänstefelsgärningar och vilka kriminaliseringsbegränsande principer som kan anföras för och mot kriminalisering av tjänstefelsgärningar. Syftet mIntroduction The misconduct provision is found in 20:1 in the Penal Code and has been discussed in criminal policy for a long time, resulting in that the severity of the misconduct responsibility has varied. The question that follows is what arguments that are presented for and against the criminalization of misconduct offences and which criminalization limiting principles that can be set in contr
In 2011, Icelandic compulsory schools introduced a new national curriculum. Its purpose was to enable a more competencies-based school system where focus would be on independence and initiative. One of the main changes in the curriculum was the introduction of entrepreneurship as a core competency. Similar changes have taken place elsewhere in Europe and there are indications that comparable devel
In a rapidly urbanising world, the importance of rural towns and villages is often forgotten. Many people see more opportunities for employment, social life and their children’s future in the big city, leaving smaller, rural places empty and abandoned. This process of rapid urbanisation can in the long run result in the loss of many valuable villages, along with their local community and the tradi
Georgia has through the past 25 years been undergoing changes characterized by rapid transformations and is now a society in a large development. In this thesis, I apply a critical Marxist perspective to the case of women’s rights organizations in Georgia and what characterizes the relations they make with respectively the Georgian government and the Swedish donor organization Kvinna till Kvinna.
This paper focuses on description and analysis of the management control systems (MCSs) in different startup companies. The qualitative study with an exploratory approach was chosen. In order to identify factors that affect MCSs in the startups, and examine actual impact on the design of MCS in these companies, interviews have been conducted with three Swedish firms, selected from the group of com
This paper deals with Will Kymlicka's and Charles Taylor's theories of multiculturalism, and the criticism of these theories by Jürgen Habermas and Seyla Benhabib. It also gives a brief background to the Swedish integration and minority policies and places them in relations to the academic discussion. Taylor advocates cultural survival to be a legitimate policy objective and Kymlicka argue
Det finns ett växande intresse för den roll som lokala aktörer spelar i utformningen av regionala utvecklingsbanor i mindre, perifera regioner. Men, när de strukturella förutsättningarna är begränsade eller ogynnsamma begränsas dock möjligheterna för lokala aktörer. I denna artikel kombinerar vi begreppen agens och möjlighetsutrymme med en processmodell för adaptiva cykler för att identifiera när,There is a growing interest in the role of agency in shaping regional development paths in smaller, peripheral regions. However, when structural pre-conditions are limited or unfavourable, opportunities for local actors are constrained. In this paper, we combine the concepts of agency and opportunity space with a process-model of adaptive cycles in order to identify when, how, and why local actors

This thesis focuses on the Spelman College incident that took place in Atlanta, Georgia in 2004. The rapper Nelly intended to have a bone marrow drive at the historically black female college, but cancelled it when the students urged him to take part in a forum discussing the misogyny and sexual objectification of black women in the rapper’s music video Tip Drill. The purpose of the study is to m
We present multiple-epoch radial-velocity observations for 104 stars in a field of the intermediate-age open cluster IC 4651 to . Only 13 stars (13%) of the full sample are field stars. From the 44 single member stars we find a mean radial velocity of , and the 12 single red-giant members yield a true radial-velocity dispersion of . Of the 19 giant members, 7 (37%) are spectroscopic binaries with
I have in this thesis conducted fieldwork at the Swedish newspaper Sydsvenskan's digital media department. I was curious to find out how or if the financial instability that is currently sweeping across the newspaper industry is embodied through praxis within a department that many are eager to blame the instability for – that is, a digital media department. I wanted to pinpoint and observe re
Rätten till utveckling antogs år 1986 och är idag en ”soft law” norm som syftar till att integrera mänskliga rättigheter och utveckling. Rättigheten har alltsedan den antogs varit en kontroversiell del i systemet om mänskliga rättigheter och har blivit hårt kritiserad på grund av dess vaga formulering. Även om den rådande uppfattningen fortfarande är att rätten till utveckling inte är avsedd för rThe Right to Development (RtD) was adopted in 1986 and is today a soft law norm that seeks to integrate human rights and development. Since its adoption the RtD has been surrounded by much controversy in the human rights framework and has been widely criticized for being too vague on its most basic concepts. Although the dominant view is still that the RtD is unsuitable for legal implementation, t
International human rights law and international humanitarian law are traditionally two distinct branches of law, one dealing with the protection of individuals, the other with the conduct of parties to an armed conflict. There is today a recognition that international human rights law is applicable in situations of armed conflict, in parallel with international humanitarian law. The aim of this M
