Migration är en oundviklig och betydande konsekvens av klimatförändringar. Varje år tvingas millioner människor lämna sina hem i kölvattnet av katastrofer och fler väntas migrera i takt med att klimatförändringar ökar i frekvens och magnitud. Det saknas dock rättsliga mekanismer för att gripa an klimatrelaterad migration. Därmed syftar uppsatsen till att kritiskt undersöka i vilken utsträckning prMillions of people are displaced annually due to environmental stress and degradation, causing them to move in prospects of a sustainable livelihood. However, given the lack of mechanisms and systems to provide legal protection for displaced individuals, the future of such migrants is uncertain. Using a human rights-based approach, this thesis critically examines whether the principle of non-refou

This essay will analyze Kazuo Ishiguro’s fantasy (or anti-fantasy) novel The Buried Giant (2016) from an ecocritical approach, with the aspiration to commence an ecocritical dialogue regarding the novel, which, at the time writing this, is non-existent. The first part of the analysis examines the portrayal of nature in The Buried Giant. After that, the text proceeds by looking at intertextual stor

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka diskrimineringslagens användbarhet utifrån den enskildes perspektiv, med utgångspunkt i den enskildes upplevelse av diskriminering samt den enskildes behov i och av en diskrimineringstvist. Bakgrunden är en enkätundersökning om diskriminering mot underläkare gjord av SYLF, Sveriges yngre läkares förening, som visar att majoriteten av de som upplevt disThe purpose of this essay is to examine the availability of the Swedish Discrimination Act from the perspective of the individual, based on the individual’s experience of discrimination and the individual’s needs in a discrimination dispute. The background to the examination is a survey on discrimination towards junior doctors made by SYLF, Sveriges yngre läkares förening. The survey shows that a

As of 2020 an estimated number of 821 million people across the world are undernourished and that figure is expected to grow by 2 billion before the end of 2050 (United Nations Sustainable Development 2020). Despite this, every year over 1/3 of food produced globally is disposed of without consumption (Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition 2018), and the actual number might be

From 2002 to 2015, the Iranian nuclear program was a central issue of U.S. foreign policy. This issue was addressed by the administrations of Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama who had significantly different approaches to said issue. Consequently, the discourse used to address the issue was also different. This study argues that in addressing the issue of the Iranian nuclear program, ther

This thesis investigates the social position and political agency of women excombatants of the Farc-EP who laid down their arms after the 2016 peace agreement between the Colombian government and the Farc-EP. I show how, through the laying down of arms and reincorporation, women ex-combatants come to occupy a specific social position under historical and global power relations and intersecting for

The combined threat of poor air quality, physical inactivity, and climate change is a major sustainability challenge for the transport sector. Numerous policy interventions may address this, yet technological improvement measures, including the isolated introduction of Emissions Zones, are currently over-emphasised. There is a lack of policy mix evaluations in the literature, particularly those in

Luminescence dating is widely used in combination with sedimentological analysis to reconstruct the landscape development of the Quaternary period. Here, quartz and K-feldspar measurements are used to date and evaluate the luminescence characteristics of sediments from seven sites of the lower part of the Velická valley (995-1250 m a.s.l.) in the High Tatra Mountains, Slovakia. The quartz and K-f

Evidence is indicating that human activity within the Anthropocene, the proposed geological epoch of the current time, are causing extraction of natural resources and land, terraforming, climate change and mass extinction of species (Anthropocene: The Human Epoch, 2018). The identified environmental pressure will continue to grow as the global population is expected to reach 11 billion before the

Cerebral Palsy, commonly referred to as CP, is a neurological disorder that results in loss or impairment of motor function, which affects body movement, muscle control, muscle coordination and balance. In Sweden, about 200 children are diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy every year and the disorder can cause imbalances between the muscles. These imbalances can lead to contractures which is equiva- lent

This thesis examines a water management conflict resulting from land-use change and export-oriented agricultural intensification in a geography where water is the absolute lifeline to the sustainability of a social-ecological system: the Doñana in southwestern Andalusia, in Spain. Social-ecological systems (SES) approach is the theoretical base of this research, where the Doñana SES is scrutinized

This qualitative case study of the ADB-financed Kawakareik to Eindu road improvement project explores the ways in which a single development intervention interferes with local conflict dynamics in an ethnic minority area affected by subnational conflict, in the context of the unfolding peace-process in Myanmar. The main research guiding this research is; In what ways does the ADB financed Kawkarei

The aim of the study was to fill the current theoretical gap in role theoretical research, and add to the knowledge of how role conceptions change. Its analytical framework was based on role theory, where the notion of role conception was selected. The descriptive case study over time

The genetics underlying bird migration have been the subject of several studies. Two willow warbler subspecies (Phylloscopus trochilus trochilus and Phylloscopus trochilus acredula) follow different routes during their winter migration to Africa. Their breeding territories overlap in a contact area or “migratory divide” across central Scandinavia and to the east of the Baltic sea. Previous genome-

This essay examines how Swedish English as foreign language (EFL) students in the English 7 course can be taught textual interpretation skills through working with fiction in the classroom, using Bram Stoker’s 1897 epistolary novel Dracula as an example novel. A qualitative text analysis of Stoker’s novel was conducted, using Grice’s maxims of conversation and the concept of focalization, to deter

In an extensive analysis of seven coastal sites that are spread across the East and West coast of southern Sweden, animal economy and specialised hunting is at the forefront of interpreting the subsistence strategy and mobility in Mesolithic hunter-gatherer societies. Through comparative data, the following thesis will observe the differences and similarities between the aforementioned coastal reg
