Trade unions have traditionally been key advocates for the Swedish welfare state. Yet, in recent decades, the Swedish welfare model has come under strain. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to explore what policies Swedish trade unions develop in relation to the changing Swedish welfare state, and what the reasons are behind these policies. This was carried out through semistructured interviews
The transition to more renewable energy such as wind, leads to a decreased inertia in the power system. As a consequence of this, disturbances lead to larger frequency deviations and the frequency stability of the system is worsened. Therefore, there is a surging interest to estimate the inertia in the power system. In this thesis, a novel method for inertia estimation is proposed and investigate
Mitt i Öresund ligger Ven, denna ö välkomnar och vinkar av alla förbipasserande fartyg i sundet, med den skånska kusten som sin östra horisont, och den själländska danska kusten till väster. Här möts Nordatlantens saltvatten med Östersjöns sötvatten, strömmarna skiftar i samma takt som vinden i seglen ändrar riktning. Här har jag spenderat många somrar, med min mormor, med vänner, och med kusiner
The impact that anthropogenic micropollutants have on the environment is increasingly gaining attention. As a result of this, Sweden, among other countries, is looking towards implementing advanced treatment for micropollutant and pharmaceutical product removal from wastewater prior to discharge into the environment. The leading method to achieve this is ozonation, which unfortunately also creates
The Yaw Power Backup System (YPBS) is a safety system that needs to be incorporated in the Wind Power Plant (WPP) in order to provide emergency power during a power outage. The YPBS enables the Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) to perform a yawing operation in extreme weather conditions. The yawing operation ensures the rotor is aligned with incoming wind, minimizing the acting forces on the blades and

In this thesis, I investigate the concept of love in relation to feminist epistemology. Through a theoretical analysis and assessment, the aim has been to first of all examine ontological tensions between feminist works theorizing on love; secondly, to analyse which role the concept of love has in the works; and thirdly to contextualize the different ontological assumptions made within the basic t
The addressees of EU competition rules are designated as undertakings. EU antitrust and merger rules apply only where an entity constitutes an undertaking. The notion of undertaking is not defined in the Treaties, rather it is developed in the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the decisional practice of the European Commission. An undertaking is defined as any entity engag
In recent years, business plan competitions have become a popular tool for entrepreneurs to obtain assistance in their desire to start a company. Despite this support service, the start-up failure rate remains high. Therefore, this paper aims to increase the understanding of how business plan competitions impact new venture development. Based on prevalent theories of entrepreneurship, venture life
Education is by the UN stated to be the foundation to creating sustainable development. Lately, there has been a tremendous increase in the use of information and communications technology (ICT) for educational purposes worldwide, but as many countries lag behind both in terms of uptake and usage of ICT, this limits their populations’ chances to participate. Given this, the aim of this thesis was
Vid en fastighetstransaktion har säljaren enligt JB 4:19 ett abstrakt felansvar. Detta felansvar infördes när den nya jordabalken trädde i kraft år 1972. Innan dess hade säljaren inte detta abstrakta felansvar, utan endast ett ansvar för sådant som denne gjort direkta utfästelser om. Förändringen medförde därför en förskjutning av risken att behöva stå för ett fel från köparen till säljaren. Ett sIn a real estate transaction, according to chapter 4, paragraph 19, in the Swedish Land Code, the seller has an abstract liability. This liability was introduced when the new Land Code came into force in 1972. Prior to that, the seller did not have this abstract liability, but only a responsibility for things that he made direct commitments to. The change therefore led to a shift in the risk of ha
Sweden has no specific law regarding cyberstalking, even though technology is a prominent part of everyday society. There is a lack of research concerning cyberstalking within the Swedish context. This study aims to examine the legal norms involving cyberstalking. Specifically how the existing legal norms are reproduced, as well as to see if the legal and social norms have an interdependence and w
I detta examensarbete kommer sex miljöcertifieringssystem att jämföras med varandra för att se hur dessa beaktar inomhusmiljön i nybyggnationer för skolor, lokaler och bostäder. Dessutom kommer det att redovisas vilka krav och förordningar som dessa förhåller sig till för att uppnå en god inomhusmiljö samtidigt som man beaktar människans behov. Dessa miljöcertifieringssystem som kommer att jämföraIn this thesis, six environmental certification systems will be compared with each other, in order to analyze how these systems, take the indoor environment into account in new buildings for schools, premises and housing.

This thesis estimates the long-run impacts of a desert locust plague, which lasted from 1986 to 1989. It considers the effect of in utero exposure and during young ages for both men and women. The analysis is based on DHS surveys from the Sahel countries Senegal, Mali and Chad and data on locust infestations to derive the impact of the plague on adult education and height outcomes. The focus of th
The aim of this master’s thesis is to examine how museum professionals perceive and relate to Swedens newly instituted museum law. The museum law (SFS 2019:977) came into effect in august of 2017, and at this moment there are no larger-scale studies examining the effects of the law. This thesis is intended to serve as a time document, reflecting the perceptions that existed in the spring of 2020.

To reach the Paris-agreement target of no more than a 1,5 to 2 degree rise in global temperature, CO2 emissions need to reach net zero by 2050. This includes emissions from aviation. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has been designated emission reduction responsibility for transnational emissions. It is crucial to keep ICAO accountable for their responsibilities and for the pol
Rapid urbanisation coupled with unplanned development create the perfect recipe for a disaster, the risk of which has increased with climate change-related uncertainties. Belgrade’s high population growth rate and exposure to riverine flooding presents such a case. This study aims to provide insight into the relationship between urban development and riverine flooding in Belgrade and thereby induc
