Climate change is already contributing to the displacement of millions of people worldwide as extreme weather events become increasingly frequent and intense. Proposals for responding to the phenomenon of climate change-related displacement overwhelmingly rely on the state to act, with limited discussion of the potential to determine and develop the scope of protection through strategic litigation
Svensson F, Fredlund C, Svedin CG, Priebe G, Wadsby M. Adolescents selling sex: Exposure to abuse, mental health, self-harm behaviour and the need for help and support-a study of a Swedish national sample. Nord J Psychiatry 2013; 67: 81-88. Background: Selling sex is not uncommon among adolescents and we need to increase our knowledge of how this affects them. Aim: The aim of this study was to inv
Objective. To define pain and physical function cutpoints that would, coupled with structural severity, define a surrogate measure of "need for joint replacement surgery," for use as an outcome measure for potential structure-modifying interventions for osteoarthritis (OA). Methods. New scores were developed for pain and physical function in knee and hip OA. A cross-sectional international study i
Soot particle (black carbon) morphology is of dual interest, both from a health perspective and due to the influence of soot on the global climate. In this study, the mass-mobility relationships, and thus effective densities, of soot agglomerates from three types of soot emitting sources were determined in situ by combining a differential mobility analyzer (DMA) and an aerosol particle mass analyz
Klimatförändringarna förväntas påverka skogar i de tempererade och boreala zonerna och leda till omfattande förändringar i ekosystemens struktur och funktion. Därför behövs analyser av sannolika utfall av olika scenarier av ökad klimatpåverkan på lång sikt, för att förbättra kunskapsunderlaget och stödja beslutsfattande inom skogssektorn. För skogsägare innebär klimatförändringarna ett behov att öClimate change is expected to affect temperate and boreal forests, potentially causing profound changes to the functioning and the structure of ecosystems. This calls for assessments of the plausible long-term outcomes of a range of climate change scenarios to increase the knowledge base for decision making in forestry. Forest owners need to consider whether current silvicultural management practi

The case study in focus for this research is the Women’s Strike in Poland movement during its articulation in late 2020. This movement was organized to campaign for reproductive rights and women’s rights in Poland after a restrictive abortion law was proposed in 2016, put into motion in 2020, and passed in 2021. This is an example of a contemporary movement supporting body autonomy and gender equa
Currently humanity faces environmental challenges that require political action in order to maintain the integrity of human and environmental systems. However, political authorities are not always ready to make rigorous decisions to support the necessary changes. Thus, social movements as a recognised agent of cultural, political and social change have the power to push for these decisions. Over t
Introduction: Decades of nuclear activities have polluted marine environments with transuranium actinides. Background: Brown algae have frequently been used as marine bioindicators of radioactivity, but current literature describing the sequential separation and determination of Pu and Am from brown algae matrices is sparse, and does not make use of recent extraction chromatographic resins such
Lantbruket står inför stora förändringar till följd av en snabb ökning av den globala befolkningsmängden och klimatförändringar som skapar stor press på värdekedjan för matproduktion. Användningen av teknologier för precisionsodling (PA) har visat sig ha fördelar som kan vara en del av lösningen för dessa framtida utmaningar. Trots detta råder det inte konsensus inom forskarkåren om vilka aspekterThe agricultural industry is going through immense changes due to the rapid growth of the global population and climate change, creating increased pressure on the food supply chain. The use of precision agriculture (PA) technologies have shown benefits that could help solve these challenges. Despite this, there is no consensus among researchers on what aspects affect the adoption of PA technology
This thesis investigates the decision-making process that led to the rapid adoption of small-scale hydropower projects, and its social implications, in Kosovo between 2013 and 2021. However, the fairness of the decision-making process for hydropower projects has been heavily criticized by local communities and NGOs. This research links procedural justice concerns voiced by a small community in Sou
Although most individuals consider gambling to be an innocent and fun activity, when it develops into problem gambling (PG), it can have detrimental outcomes to one’s life, such as over-indebtedness. This study explores the role of maladaptive personality traits and gender in both PG and over-indebtedness, in an online sample of 1479 adult gamblers in Sweden. Participants were administered the Pro
This master’s thesis investigates sustainability management within a fashion company and how a company could use the sustainability management tool the Higg Index 2.0 Brand and Retail Module to work towards its prioritised UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is a comparative review of the two frameworks, the Index and the SDGs, from a life cycle analysis perspective. It also includes a cas
This thesis aims to gain a better understanding of the modern subjugation of nature and women in the United States, by looking at the recent history of the Environmental Justice Movement (nature) and Reproductive Justice Movement (women). Through examining the history of these movements and relevant politics from 1970 to present day, events can be analyzed to shed light on the current political si
Detta examensarbete är en fallstudie av Tumaini Open School för gravida studenter och studerande mödrar i Tabora, Tanzania. Genom den ideella organisationen Ingenjörer utan gränser Sverige genomförde författarna en Minor Field Study i Tanzania för att fastställa efterfrågade eltjänster, det resulterande elbehovet och den maximala dagliga effektkurvan för skolan vid fullskalig verksamhet. Vidare prThis master thesis is a case study of Tumaini Open School for pregnant and mothering students located in Tabora, Tanzania. Through the volunteer organisation Engineers Without Borders Sweden, the authors conducted a Minor Field Study to Tanzania in order to determine the requested electricity services, resulting electricity demand and maximum daily load profile for the school at full-scale operati
In the event of a nuclear weapon detonation or a power plant accident radionuclides will deposit on the ground. It is then important to identify and quantify the radionuclides to obtain information necessary for radiation protection efforts like relocation and decontamination. Radiation protection instruments with beta probes can be used as search instruments but the small surface of the probe an
Refugees often spend over 20 years in what are supposed to be temporary camps, leading to increased violence and abuse. The humanitarian and development sector is seeking long-term solutions to protect their human rights and prevent discrimination. This study aimed to identify which possible solutions the Kenyan government may implement to address the demands of refugees in terms of local integrat
