In recent years, the notion that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) schemes enable corporations to assume a role of a development agent has been heavily contested in academia. Among CSR schemes are the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) Performance Standards, which, regardless of their foundational role in shaping the paradigm of responsible business, are yet to be exposed to thorough ac
Today, organizational competitiveness largely depends on a company’s ability to learn, which is why more and more organizations aim to enhance organizational learning through practicing Knowledge Management (KM). Due to the little research on organizational culture and subcultures in KM literature, practitioners often embark on KM change efforts in a technocratic fashion and focus solely on techno
The aim of this thesis is to gain a deeper understanding of how librarians in Swedish public- and academic libraries approach the much-disputed question regarding the acquisition of controversial materials. This study is based on six semi-structured interviews with seven different librarians working in either public- or academic libraries in the south of Sweden, all assigned with the task of acqui
Arbetsmarknaden är under snabb och ständig förändring. Faktorer såsom globalisering, digitalisering, teknisk utveckling, ökade utbildningsnivåer och att jobben blivit mer kunskapsintensiva gör att nya kvalifikationskrav ständigt uppkommer. Att arbetstagare sägs upp på grund av att de saknar tillräckliga kvalifikationer blir allt mer vanligt. Samtidigt förespråkar politiker ändringar av turordningsThe labour market is undergoing rapid and constant change. Factors such as globalization, digitalisation, technological development, increased educational levels and the fact that jobs have become more knowledge intensive mean that new qualification requirements are constantly emerging. The dismissal of workers due to lack of sufficient qualifications is becoming more common. At the same time, pol

The study was based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with six pre-school teachers. Profession theory and a dramaturgical perspective were used in the analysis. The results in the study found that preschool teachers frequently use
Uppsatsen kartlägger anställningsskyddets förändringsprocess och ämnar synliggöra hur samhällsutveckling och normativa grundmönster påverkar rättsutvecklingen. Med hjälp av Christensens teori om rätten som normativa grundmönster i ett normativt fält och Hydéns teori om samhällsutveckling som S- kurvor tolkas, analyseras och diskuteras insamlat material. Genom att belysa relevanta utvecklingstendenThis paper investigates how social development and normative basics patterns affect the process of change in the Swedish employment protection. By using Christensen’s theory of Law as Normative Patterns in a Normative Field and Hydéns theory of Social Development in Terms of S-curves the paper aims to create a profound understanding for the complex interplay between society, norms and legal develo
Sverige, ett av de minst korrupta länderna i världen, har fått återkommande internationell kritik gällande ineffektivitet i svensk mutlagstiftning när det kommer till straffrättsliga sanktioner mot företag som begått mutbrott. Detta på grund av bristen på rättspraxis där företag gjort sig skyldiga till vårdslös finansiering av mutbrott. Kritiken har bland annat kommit från EU-kommissionen då SveriSweden, as one of the least corrupt countries in the world, has been subject to recurrent critique regarding inefficiency in its bribery legislation, especially regarding sanctions against corporates. The reason behind this is due to the lack of case-law when it comes to companies being directly or indirectly responsible for bribery. The European Commission have criticised Sweden due to the fact t
Female drivers operating in the public transport sector are underrepresented in the literature on women’s mobility which largely addresses the fear of crime among female riders. Alternative modes of transport, as well as job opportunities, have nevertheless started to emerge as international and local ride-hailing firms mushroom across the globe in urban cities. The World Bank Group International
This thesis aims to contribute to the growing concept of Digital Financial Inclusion by exploring the challenges that Microfinance Institutes (MFIs) experience to provide financial services to the unbanked population in Bangladesh. Though there is an emergence of digital financial services provided by the commercial banks based on the infrastructural development initiative taken by the Bangladeshi
Inspired by centuries of activists who used creative writing as a tool to encourage reflections and inspire change, this thesis looks at the possibility of poetry to be used as an environmental justice tool. In particular the ability of poetry from Nigeria to engage Dutch people with problems around Shell’s exploitation of the Niger Delta and its people, is investigated. Using decolonial and Criti
The climate change is affecting small island developing states to the amount that the surface of Tuvalu might disappear and the country therefore risk to lose its sovereignty (Pacific Small Island Developing State 2009, p. 10-12). By investigating environmental security through climate displacement this thesis will conduct a case study of Tuvalu. The theory of ecofeminism and intersectionality wil
The global transport industry stands in front of the next big technology shift; the implementation of autonomous vehicles. This shift might remove the physical driver from the truck, increase safety and improve flexibility. This will most likely change the fundamentals of the transportation industry. Autonomous trucks are anticipated to be implemented for short distance transportation in gated are
Skatterätt är ett område som ständigt förändras och påverkas av politiska beslut. Frågan är hur stort utrymme lagstiftaren har när det kommer till att använda den skatterättsliga lagstiftningen för att uppnå politiska mål. Uppsatsen syftar därför till att utreda lagstiftarens utrymme, vilket exemplifieras genom att studera värnskatten. Framställningen kommer utgå från följande frågeställningar: Tax law is an area that is constantly changing and affected by political decisions. The question is how much scope the legislature has when it comes to using tax law to achieve political agendas. The thesis therefore aims to investigate the legislature's scope, exemplified by studying the austerity tax. The exposition will be based on the following questions: 1. What were the motives behind t
Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck har fått stor uppmärksamhet i samhällsdebat-ten under 2000-talet. Den ökade uppmärksamheten har resulterat i en rad åt-gärder från staten, däribland kriminaliseringar. För att en ny kriminalisering ska vidtas behöver den kunna rättfärdigas. I statliga utredningar och doktrin framförs kriterier och principer som bör vara uppfyllda för att en kriminali-sering ska vaHonor-related violence and oppression has received a lot of attention in Swe-den during the 2000s. The increased attention has resulted in a number of measures from the state, including criminalization. A new criminalization must be justified in order to be established. State investigations and doctrines set out criteria and principles that should be met for a criminalization to be ac-ceptable. In
År 1998 infördes fridskränkningsbrotten i brottsbalken för att kunna lagföra personer som utsätter sin partner eller annan närstående person för systematiskt och långvarigt våld. Ett av rekvisiten för grov fridskränkning är att offer och förövare ska vara närstående. Bestämmelsen tar främst sikte på personer som har en parrelation utan att vara samboende eller gifta. Syftet med uppsatsen är att kIn 1998, the violation of integrity offences were introduced into The Swedish Penal Code in order to prosecute people who expose their partner or another close person to systematic and long-term violence. One of the necessary requisites in the violation of integrity offences is that victims and perpetrators must have a close relationship. The provision is primarily aimed at people who have an inti
Efforts to reform the public sectors of Zambia have been ongoing since the 1990s with objectives to ensure efficient and high-quality provision of public goods and services to all citizens and battling persistently high levels of poverty. Outcomes have however been mixed at best. This study assesses how reforms to the public sectors of Zambia have been framed in terms of what problem representati
Städer ger upphov till klimatpåverkan både i uppförandet och användningen av bebyggelsen. Studier av svenska kommuner visar att det finns stora utmaningar i att få klimatarbetet att gå från övergripande strategiska mål till implementering och att det saknas handfast vägledning i beslutssituationer. Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att undersöka hur modellering kan användas vid planering a
The field of research on military intervention is usually based on grand theories in international relations. This thesis argues that understanding can be created through a narrower approach where narratives and discourses are examined. Therefore, this study intends to examine how strategic narratives are used at the political level to justify international military operations. The thesis bases it
Wetland and biodiversity loss affect both ecosystem function and human wellbeing. However, it is argued that the incremental rate of farmland abandonment provides opportunities for ecological restoration to help reverse this negative trend. This thesis applies ecosystem service framework and psychological ownership theory to analyse a wetland restoration project in a semi-urban town of Jablonné v
