It analyses how the historical and current context of in Cape Town, South Africa impacts it LGBTIQ movement and its internal dynamics through the multi- institutio

This thesis examines the personal liability of corporate management for environmental damages under Swedish law, focusing on the provisions in the Environmental Code (MB), the Companies Act (ABL), and the proposed Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). The thesis analyzes how these regulatory frameworks interact and how they influence the liability of corporate management in

The purpose of this thesis is to develop knowledge about visual information seeking and how it might be affected by socio-technical circumstances, with its focus on GeoGuessr players’ research through Google Street View. The study asks two research questions: 1. How do GeoGuessr players use Google Street View to do research? and 2. How can Google Street View’s socio-technical circumstances affect

Forests offer vital ecosystem services but face threats from various stressors, including climate change and insect infestations. The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) poses significant risks to Norway Spruce (Picea abies). Early detection of bark beetle infestations is crucial for damage control but challenging with traditional methods. This study aims to utilize modern remote sens

Currently, many Global South countries face an unprecedented debt crisis with large portions of their spending going to debt repayments. This financial restrain hinders their capacity to address basic needs and ecological challenges, particularly as climate change exacerbates vulnerabilities. To provide a solution for this, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) launched their Nature Bonds Program aimed at

Refugees have been arriving in Europe from North Africa for years, but it wasn't until 2015 that the issue gained widespread public attention. That year saw a significant increase in the number of refugees and migrants, with 911,000 individuals reaching European shores via perilous routes across the Mediterranean Sea, particularly between Italy and Libya, and between Turkey and Greece.

The main ports on the lake are Kisumu, Mwanza, Bukoba, Entebbe, Portbell, and Jinja served by several train ferry services for b

The Andes of Ecuador are known for an outstanding biodiversity but is also a region where the abandonment rate of agricultural land is high, highlighting the need for forest restoration with native species. Here, the germination and growth requirements for propagation of the hummingbird pollinated bush species Salvia corrugata and Macleania rupestris were studied to better understand their suitabi

The discussion of human activities exploiting natural resources and their environmental impact has gained more traction throughout the past decade. Especially the role corporations play in these developments has caused a shift within corporate strategic considerations. As a result, today, many companies assume increasing responsibility to improve their sustainability performance. Large, internatio

While there have been numerous research papers defining and discussing high technology startup success, there is a lack of unity what the recipe for success is. Due to lack of market orientation being one of the most common reasons for startup failure, combined with the essentiality of having a strong technology base in a high technology environment, there is an interest to study their intersectio

Kristina Sandbergs trilogi om hemmafrun Majs liv med böckerna Att föda ett barn (2010), Sörja för de sina (2012) och Liv till varje pris (2014) är ett stycke episk diskbänksrealism som samtidigt formmedvetet leker med prosakonstens konventioner i syfte att skapa rytm. Denna masteruppsats undersöker, genom en fyrdelad analys, rytmskapande på flera olika nivåer i text. Uppsatsen undersöker trilogins

The purpose of this study was to try to understand what sort of impact Swedish rap-music and rap-artists have on youth behavior and identity from the Swedish suburbs Seved and Rosengård. Also, whether it influences subcultural youth groups. The hip hop-culture in Sweden has in recent years had lots of media coverage since the artists have been involved in gang activity and a lot of them have been

The Brundtland report envisioned three sustainable dimensions for development: economic growth, ecological balance, and social inclusion with the aim to incorporate these dimensions into local, national, and global plans for sustainable development. In recent years, discussions about our society’s competitiveness and whether the three dimensions of sustainable development include all aspects of ou

Research aim: The thesis aims to research how higher education professionals perceive internal communication as a mean for knowledge-sharing within their workplace, and how it can support organizational learning. Theoretical framework and literature review: The theoretical framework applied, address and discuss the connection between internal communication, organizational learning, single- and do

This thesis examines if the amount of labour intensity within a sector changes the effect that the real effective exchange rate have on output. Fixed panel data regressions for Sweden, Norway and Denmark lend support to the hypothesis that labour intensive sectors’ output react more to changes in the real exchange rate than its less labour intensive counterparts. The regressions show that the labo
