The benefits of economic growth (e.g. capital accumulation) are mainly being enjoyed by people in the Global North, while its negative byproducts (e.g. pollution) are mainly being endured by people in the Global South. Our focus on economic growth has led to the erosion of social wellbeing. And continuing economic growth on this planet with finite natural resources could have even more severe cons
It is questionable how project management can aid an organization’s pursuit of achieving a sustained competitive advantage through innovation. Especially within the technology industry, organizations are facing increasing competition in today’s dynamic environment and are obligated to act in order to fulfill customers’ eagerness for innovative products. This research study is targeted at merging t
This paper studies the relationship between contraceptive adoption by women and three relevant predictors: women’s education, empowerment and religious affiliation. I employ recent information on women’s characteristics and the institutional environment for six Latin American countries, in the years 2013-2015, to perform a cross-section analysis with binary and multinomial logistic regressions, ha

The total investment cost for t

Under 2016 sade ett stort antal barnmorskor upp sig kollektivt inom Region Skåne. Uppsägningarna var en protesthandling och del i en arbetsplatskonflikt som kretsade kring ökad återhämtning för att garantera barnmorskornas hälsa och patientsäkerheten. Uppsatsens syfte är att förstå hur och varför protesterna resulterade i kollektiva uppsägningar. Materialet består av kvalitativa intervjuer med bar

The essay will also take a look at how com
The purpose of the study was to provide a foundation to understand the potential implications of performing digital acquisitions and its effects on digital capabilities for traditionally non-digital businesses. A two-way, time and entity, fixed regression model was adopted to investigate this relationship in the electric utility industry, between the years 2010-2021. The theoretical framework of
This thesis employs a historical institutionalist lens to analyze whether the gendered impacts of COVID-19 have initiated a critical juncture in The Hunger Project’s program policy. Crises such as COVID-19 may lead actors within organizations to question existing policies, giving them greater opportunities than normal to transform these, with lasting consequences. Theory-testing process-tracing is
The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the deadliest health crises in modern history. Increasing production of all relevant medical goods and ensuring their equitable distribution has been argued as a necessity to contain the pandemic, which led to the South African and Indian delegation in the TRIPS Council of the World Trade Organization to propose the implementation of a TRIPS waiver to ensure t
Av principen om rättshandlingars verkliga innebörd följer en möjlighet för rättstillämparen att förbise en rättshandlings rubricering till förmån för det faktiska handlandet, i de fall det föreligger en distinktion däremellan. I detta hänseende har civilrätten beskrivits som prejudiciell i relation till den skatterättsliga disciplinen. En bedömning av transaktionens verkliga innebörd är ett led i Swedish tax law provides an opportunity for legal practitioners to disregard the classification of a legal act in favor of the parties’ actual conduct, where there is a distinction between the two. In this regard, civil law has been described as incidental in relation to tax law. An assessment of the true meaning of the legal act (sw: rättshandlingens verkliga innebörd) is a part of the determinin
Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of fluvial, pluvial, and coastal flooding which require consideration in spatial planning. More frequent floods will affect the financial stability by increasing the exposure of risk for insurance companies and creditors. This master thesis investigates how selected stakeholders assess flood risk when planning for new development and protecting
Ett införande av visitationszoner har vid ett flertal tillfällen föreslagits av olika partier till Sveriges riksdag som en åtgärd för att motverka våldsbrott och minska antalet vapen i samhället. Innebörden av en sådan zon är, enligt förslagen, att polisen ska få en rätt att kroppsvisitera människor och genomföra en husrannsakan i fordon för att söka efter vapen eller andra farliga föremål. Den utSwedish political parties have several times sent in law-proposals to the Swedish parliament regarding an introduction of stop and search-zones. This measure aims to counteract the number of weapons and violent crimes in society. Stop and search-zones means, according to the law-suggestions, that the police will have the right to search people and vehicles for weapons and other dangerous items to
Världen är för närvarande på väg mot 3°C av global uppvärmning pga globala koldioxidutsläpp. Kunskapen som krävs för att minska utsläppen existerar, men de radikala sociala och politiska förändringar som behövs sker hittills inte snabbt nog. Nuvarande politiska och ekonomiska paradigm hyllar koldioxidprissättning som antingen den enda lösningen, alternativt som en del av lösningen. Denna uppsats tThe world is currently heading for 3°C of global warming due to global excessive carbon emissions, and while science is producing the knowledge necessary to combat it, the radical change needed is not coming fast enough. Current political and economic paradigms hail carbon pricing as either the, or part of the solution to our carbon emissions problem. This thesis looks at the available (although l

Samtliga företag i Sverige bör se över sin verksamhet och göra en säkerhetsanalys för att bedöma om de är av betydelse för Sveriges säkerhet. I dagsläget befinner sig Europa och Sverige i det allvarligaste säkerhetspolitiska läget sedan andra världskrigets slut. Säkerhetsprövningen syftar till att bedöma om en arbetstagare kan utgöra en säkerhetsrisk för verksamheten vid en säkerhetsklassad befattFollowing the increase that has led to the greatest security threat to Europe and Sweden since the end of World War II, all companies in Sweden are expected to review their business and conduct security analyses, to assess their organisation's risk of having security breaches. As part of this, security vetting is conducted to determine if an employee might pose a security risk to the organisat
