Today, Swedish women have one of the highest participation rates. In the nineteenth century, however, virtually no married women were recorded as working. Their participation rates started rising around the turn-of-the-century. Using full-count microdata from Swedish national censuses for the period 1880-1910, this paper aims to estimate the effects of various determinants on female labour supply.
When you first step ashore the island of Ven, in Öresund right between Sweden and Denmark, you have two options. Either you go straight ahead, towards the bike rental, or you turn to your right and start walking along the shore. If you do so, you will soon start to find colourful pebbles on the ground along the waterline. Some are round and soft to the touch, others are rough and edgy, and they ar
The climate change and conflict nexus has been the focus of much debate and speculation in academic circles as well as public discourse. Much of the existing research has been undertaken by studies using quantitative methods, which intend to prove or disprove the existence of a causal relationship. However, this approach does little to help inform policy and practice, where a deeper understanding
The current Japanese population of 124 million is expected to decrease to 104 million by year 2050 (Takahashi et al., 2003) with a rapid aging population and, thus increasing immigration is one of the responses to this demographic concern. Hereon onwards, it will be relevant to understand the social patterns of foreign residents living in Japan and finding out more about their livelihoods as non-n
Much academic literature has explained the success of radical right parties across Europe in the last few decades through the increased importance of the sociocultural, conceptualised as the GAL-TAN, or libertarian-authoritarian, scale. The late rise of the Sweden Democrats, long considered an exception to the rule, as a successful radical right party, has attracted some academic interest and
Timing of phenological events are highly related to climate and is one of the first signs of ecosystem responses to the climate change. Timing of flowering phenology is an important trait influencing the distribution and fitness of plants species. Tundra ecosystems are particularly important to study these effects due to short growing seasons, poor pollinator community and a particularly pronounce
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the potential of transmitting data symbols alongside permuted copies in a repetition coding-like scheme, called the permutation scheme. First exhaustive search is conducted for small constellation sizes to identify possible patterns. The next step was identifying local search methods for permutations, and other methods for longer chains of permutations
Access to reliable and affordable electricity remains a significant challenge in many rural regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. This thesis presents a feasibility study for the implementation of a solar-powered mini-grid in Linga Linga, a rural village in the Inhambane province of Mozambique. Conducted in collaboration with the non-governmental organization Project Vita, the study focuses on Section B
Oil spills are known to cause severe ecological damage, yet the long-term effects on benthic organ-isms are still not fully understood. This study investigates how blue mussels (Mytilus edulis trossulus) were affected by the 2023 oil spill caused by the grounding of the passenger ferry Marco Polo in the Hanö bay, southern Sweden. Here I compare mussels collected from four oil-contaminated sites wi
Although conflict, climate change and natural hazards frequently coincide, consequently affecting human security, disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation as well as security risk mitigation are often treated separately in programme implementation. This, however, increases the risk in overlooking the opportunity to address root causes caused and exacerbated by climate change, natural
Understanding how plants allocate time between the green-up and senescence phases within a growing season is critical for assessing vegetation responses to environmental change. This thesis investigates the spatiotemporal patterns of the time allocation fraction, defined as the ratio of green-up duration to senescence duration (RGS), across the Tibetan Plateau from 1982 to 2018. Phenological metri
This research investigates the perceived barriers to UK Trade Unions (TU) engagement in climate change and environmental issues, from the perspective of union members working at local branch, union policy and strategy levels, and what opportunities there are for developing an environmental trade union movement. With the advent of catastrophic climate change necessitating rapid decarbonisation of t
Syftet med denna studie var att kvalitativt utforska lärares syn på kunskapsbildning och kommunikation om klimatförändringar med elever i Vietnam, ett land med förhöjd klimatrisk. Med utgångspunkt i Hanoi genomfördes åtta (N = 8) semistrukturerade intervjuer med lärare på temat klimatundervisning. Materialet bearbetades sedan i en tematisk analys med abduktiv metod: delvis datadriven, delvis genomThis study qualitatively explored a sample of teachers' climate change conceptualizations and communication with school students in Vietnam, a country with high susceptibility to major climate change-related impacts. Fieldwork was conducted in Hanoi, where eight (N = 8) teachers were interviewed in a semi-structured format, focusing on the topic of climate change education. The material was ex
New York City's transportation infrastructure plays a critical role in shaping economic growth, housing accessibility, and community development. Challenges like congestion, inequitable transit access, and inefficient zoning regulations hinder sustainable urban growth as the city evolves. Last serving passengers in 1924, the LIRR Bay Ridge Branch remains one of New York City's few freigh
Rapid urbanization and infrastructure expansion often lead to spatial, ecological and social fragmentation in existing urban areas, where functions, landscapes and neighborhoods are physically and functionally disconnected. Urban developments are often planned as isolated interventions, neglecting an integration into the broader landscape. These problems are particularly acute in cross-border terr
This study investigates how varying hyperparameters of the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) affects the stability of model explanations produced by SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) and Local Interpretable Modelagnostic Explanations (LIME). By using an eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) classifier trained on 11 medical datasets with varying imbalance ratios, four SMOTE parame
