This study aims to research how honour is explained and defined by social workers and thus increase the knowledge about the concept itself, and the negative consequences it can have on an individuals’ life. By interviewing (both in a group interview, and in a one-on-one interview) professionals who daily are coming into contact with honour codes and context, and letting them give their view on the
Our thesis investigates the comparative interpretations of democracy in the opinions of the European Committee of the Region (CoR) and the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC). Using the mixed methods of a qualitative content analysis and a discourse analysis, we assess the extent to which, how and why democracy is unevenly interpreted at the CoR and EESC; relative to their joint remits a
Kommunalt arbete för privat konsumtion som inte hotar klimatet. Ska Sverige nå de utsläppsmål av växthusgaser som krävs för att förhindra en global katastrof i form av ökade temperaturer på vår planet, måste den genomsnittliga svensken minska sina totala årliga utsläpp till vad som idag motsvarar en flygresa tur och retur till Thailand. För att möjliggöra de stora samhälls- och livsstilsförändrinThe Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has come to the conclusion that Sweden must cut their greenhouse gas emissions by around 80 % until the year 2050 for it to be possible to meet the climate targets set by the UN. This study aims to show what role the municipalities in Sweden play in the transition of the society to sustainable levels of emissions, focusing on private consumption. The pur
Following Kosovo’s issuance of a unilateral declaration of independence in 2008, the UN General Assembly requested the International Court of Justice to pronounce itself on the accordance with international law of the declaration of independence.

En av de mest grundläggande bestämmelserna inom internationell rätt är våldsförbudet mellan stater och den vilar på en konstruktion som skapades på 1900-talet efter erfarenheter av två världskrig. Den främjar en stark statskoncentration med fokus på staters suveränitet. Övervägande del av dagens väpnade konflikter är interna och inte mellan stater som det var förr. Det har satt press på aktörernOne of the most fundamental provisions of international law is the prohibition of use of force between states and it rests on a construction created in the 20th century after experiences of two world wars. It affirms a strong government concentration focusing on the sovereignty of states. Most of today’s armed conflicts are domestic and not between states as it used to be. It has put pressure on
The advantages of performing neutron-tagging measurements using a waveform digitizer are explored. An existing analog setup consisting of modular crate electronics at the Source-Testing Facility at the Division of Nuclear Physics in Lund, Sweden has been digitally replicated. Neutrons are detected using an organic liquid-scintillator detector while the corresponding 4.44 MeV gamma-rays are detecte
The aim of this thesis is to survey and map out what it means to believe in unexplainable phenomena, that is phenomena not scientifically explained, in a secular late modern society. The study is explorative and used methods are five focus group interviews supplemented with a questionnaire, performed in southwest of Sweden. Used theories in the inductive analysis to explain belief in unexplainable
Businesses are increasingly attracted to Emerging Markets due to the potential of increased demand for goods and services, driven mostly by macroeconomic trends in the external business environment. However, the business model approach for emerging markets differs from the one for developed markets as they are faced with a different set of demand and supply conditions. The purpose of this study is
Reduced growth rates in saturated developed economies have put increasing pressure on multinational companies (MNCs) to expand to rapidly developing emerging markets and capitalize on their value potential. Yet, this value potential comes with several challenges which are very different from what firms experience in developed countries, especially with regards to the bottom of the pyramid. The Tra

The children included in this study are in adult age describing their childhood in relation to their parents substance abuse and the effect it had on them. The consequences both short-term and long-term, as well as the mental health of t
I en alltmer digital värld överförs elektronisk information varje sekund till alla delar av världen. Denna elektroniska information övervakas av stater och dess offentliga myndigheter, vars övervakningsförmåga läcktes redan 2013 av Edward Snowden. På andra sidan av detta fenomen finns grundläggande rättigheter, nämligen rätten till integritet, skydd av personuppgifter, en opartisk domstol och tillIn a world which is becoming more digital, electronic information is being transferred every second to all parts of the world, containing personal data. This electronic communication can be subject of surveillance by the public authorities – the capabilities of the public authorities were leaked already by Edward Snowden in 2013. On the other side of the surveillance are the fundamental rights, na
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
In Sweden, household waste is separated at the source, making the success of the recycling system largely depending on the active participation of households. In a well-established recycling system with functioning recycling infrastructure and information, the conditions for ‘recyclers’ and ‘non-recyclers’ are akin, indicating the external conditions, recycling infrastructure and information, not

This thesis is an explorative qualitative study based on interpretative phenomenological analysis, utilizing the social-psychological theory of functional attitudes to explore the attitudes of Lebanese university students toward homosexuality and the motivational bases of such attitudes. Five core groups of such attitude motivations were identified. Perceptions of the way one’s society relates to
Offer för brott mot mänskliga rättigheter orsakade av multinationella företags aktiviteter möter stora rättsliga luckor och hinder när de försöker utkräva kompensation för skador. Bolagsrätten som täcker dessa situationer har inte ännu anpassats till förändringarna som den globaliserade världen inneburit, och de komplexa strukturerna som multinationella företag består av idag. Principen som innebVictims of human rights abuses linked to activities of multinational corporations face huge legal gaps and challenges when trying to access compensation for harm. Corporate law covering these scenarios have not yet adapted to the changes of a globalized world and the complex structures of today’s multinational corporations (MNCs). The principle of separate legal entities is one such obstacle keep
The connection of devices to the internet is referred to as Internet of Things (IoT). By using IoT distributed network of devices will be able to communicate with each other. The management and forming of distributed applications is, however, very complex since IoT uses devices that have different capabilities and that do not have the same communication protocols. Calvin is an open source applicat
