No. P 2021/3600 Guidance on managing Covid-19-related doctoral studentship extensions at the School of Economics and Management Background For some doctoral students, the Covid-19 pandemic could entail obstacles that make it difficult to complete their research studies within the stipulated time (four years of full-time studies). The present document is intended to provide guidan
Vilken typ av röstsystem som används i en demokrati påverkar väljares möjligheter avseende hur många partier/kandidater man tillåts visa sitt stöd för och om man ges möjligheten att aktivt rösta emot partier/kandidater man inte vill se i en maktposition. I den här studien undersöktes, genom en enkätundersökning, hur 235 svenskar upplevde tre olika typer av röstsystem avseende hur väl ens politiska
The purpose of the study was to examine how high school students in Kenya define and discuss democracy. The aim was further to examine which factors, both positive and negative that are assumed to affect the democratization in their country. The goal was to contribute to a critical debate around how the concept of democracy is defined in existing theories and how it is implemented by development p
In recent years, the use of childcare especially in rich countries, has gone through a huge development. Well-established theories and previous research suggest that the social infrastructure has a positive impact on economic growth and that there is a positive relationship between childcare and equality. However, studies about how childcare affects economic growth are scarce. The aim of the study
Quadratic voting has been proposed as a voting procedure that aggregates preferences in a near-utilitarian way. A voter’s optimal strategy is, however, not solely a function of her preferences, but also of her beliefs about how others will vote. This thesis presents a formal model of quadratic voting that, unlike previous models, allows for heterogeneity in the beliefs of voters. The specification
Since 2004 when mechanical exfoliation was first utilised to produce single layered samples of graphite, 2D materials have gained interest in the scientific community. With the prerequisite that the initial bulk material has a layered structure, these 2D materials have created an opportunity to examine materials on a very small scale as well as opening the possibility of creating smaller electrica
Bluetooth is a short-range technology, it helps with wireless communication between many electronic devices. Bluetooth low energy (BLE) is the advanced version of Bluetooth which uses low energy compared to the standard Bluetooth. Bluetooth mesh technology play a crucial role in the Internet of things (IoT). The IoT mesh technology enables many-to-many and one-to-many communication. This project d
Since 1992 the European Union has been granting certificates attesting the veracity and legitimacy of products in all of the EU. Such certificates are a symbol of the importance given by the European Union to the protection of regional products against falsifications of unique foodstuff products and the maintenance of good reputation of rural producers and rural areas. There is, however, a great
Det har gjorts stora satsningar på självkörande fordon under senaste decenniet och i branschen finns en samsyn på att dessa fordon kommer att vara en del av den framtida fordonsflottan. Det råder delade meningar kring huruvida introduceringen av självkörande fordon kommer vara en fördel eller en nackdel för transportsystemet. De fördelar som ofta lyfts med självkörande fordon är minimering av olyc
This essay discusses the issue of government formation and answers the question why does Finland form surplus governments? The research has been based on the notion that every government-formature should strive to form a minimal-winning government which iscontrasted by the fact that Finland has an unusual tradition of forming surplus governments. The issue in question is considered within the time
Heavy trucks are commonly powered by combustion engines running on diesel. Since these trucks often run on highways they rarely have to perform cold starts. Diesel engines take care of their NOx emissions through a process which uses the high temperatures of the exhaust gases together with urea, sprayed upon a mixer placed inside the exhaust pipes, to chemically react with the NOx over an SCR cata
There are many immigrant women living in Sweden today who come from cultures in Africa where Female Genital Mutilation is tradition. Due to the many complications of this tradition and due to inadequate knowledge of the tradition and management of its complications within the healthcare system, it is one of the biggest health problems of our time. The aim of this study was to gain knowledge and un
Despite that diarrhoea accounts for 16.5 percent of the total child mortality in Kenya little is known about how nurses work to prevent diarrhoea. The aim of the study was to investigate what kind of information and to what extent nurses inform women how they can prevent diarrhoea in their children. The study was performed in three phases. In the first phase scientific articles on diarrhoeal preve
Introduction: Over 1,000 children under the age of five die every hour worldwide. The most effective intervention to reduce the mortality rate among children is to vaccinate against infectious diseases. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the compliance of a random selection of Ghanaian orphanages to the Ghana national vaccination program. Method: The study was an empirical quantit
The purpose of this study is to examine the international legal instruments specifically addressing the practice of enforced disappearance and analyse if they are sufficient in relation to the gravity and seriousness of the crime. The instruments examined are: the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappe
As the frequency of natural disasters increases, marked by hotter summers and abnormal ecological changes, climate issues have become impossible to ignore. People are taking to the streets, not only demanding greater awareness but also pushing for meaningful policy changes. This research investigates the relationship between protest events and policymaking within the EU between July 2018 and Decem
