This thesis is concerned with political mobilization and the construction of a collective and social identity. The main purpose of the study is theoretical which emphasize their interaction. In order to do this I study the two phenomenons by seeing them as cases of each other. We cannot understand one of the two phenomenons without taking into account the other as well. In addition, the second
In this report, methods for risk and vulnerability analysis of technological infrastructure and transport are examined. Fault Tree Analysis, Event Tree Analysis, and QRA can, along with Anticipatory Failure Determination, Hierarchical Holographic Modelling, and System Action Management, be used as methods for risk and vulnerability analysis of technical infrastructure. For risk and vulnerability a
Sustainability Science (SS) has, as of today, no explicit agreement on which philosophy of science should be used to guide its research. Though SS is a broad and often diffuse concept, there are certain guiding principles which are generally agreed on. Based on these principles, it has been seen if Critical Realism (CR) could be an appropriate meta-theory for SS. The approach used is therefore pri
Globally, aviation biofuel (biojet) technology has reached a degree of progress that allows immediate substitution of conventional fossil fuel in commercial air travel. However,numerous factors constitute an impediment to its large-scale use and deployment: a diagnostic analysis identifying key obstacles to biojet development is needed. For this reason, an examination of actors, institutions and a
Bakgrund: Personer med funktionshinder är en utsatt grupp i låginkomstländer. För att kunna uppnå bästa möjliga fysiska förmåga hos personer med funktionshinder så att de kan vara en aktiv del av samhället behövs omfattande rehabiliteringsinsatser. På Haiti råder en kritisk obalans mellan behovet av rehabilitering och landets förmåga att tillhandahålla dessa tjänster. Syfte: Att undersöka hur reh
The main purpose is to illuminate how a company links certain values to its brand in an effort to achieve a competitive position. We have done this by studying the government owned company Svenska Spel and its entrance on the netpokermarket. With Corporate Social Responsibility as a guidance for the company they wanted to offer Swedish gamblers an alternative to the, often morally dubious, interna
The present study explored how news media in Northern Ireland and Great Britain portrays threat constructions in the Northern Ireland area through the lens of the Copenhagen School of Securitisation. In fact, the Irish island has been affected by a history of identity conflict. The study gives an overview on how the conflict came to part throughout history to understand how the threats are picture
In 2019, a new program in library and information science was initiated by Södertörns högskola, with the description that they wanted their education to show the complexities of practical librarianship, implicitly in conflict with more theoretical educations today. This conflict between the theoretical and the practical within library and information science education is the starting point for thi
The objective of this research was to explore and enhance the comprehension of the methods employed in social work concerning children and youth in flight. Additionally, it investigated the key considerations in social work with children and youth in flight to Sweden, as well as the specific measures implemented in the handling process for this particular demographic. The study delved into various
This research investigates the subject of Data Democratization (DD), the effect it has on fact-based decision-making, and how users perceive this within the organization. DD is a fairly new initiative, empowering more employees with increased access to data to improve their use of it and to a greater extent be able to make decisions based on data. The idea for this paper originated from the lack o
Stochastic texture filtering (STF) has re-emerged as a technique that can bring down the cost of texture filtering of advanced texture compression methods, e.g., neural texture compression. However, during texture magnification, the swapped order of filtering and shading with STF can result in aliasing. The inability to smoothly interpolate material properties stored in textures, such as surface n
Avoiding exceeding planetary boundaries, while still achieving a decent standard of living for all is a global challenge represented in the so-called doughnut model. Policies for local mobility in line with the doughnut model, will lead to less and slower mobility for many people. This paper contributes to doughnut literature with insights regarding people’s visions of life with doughnut-inspired
Adjusting to life at a foreign university can be challenging. For second/foreign language (L2) students, challenges extend beyond adapting to new academic and social contexts. They can involve the need to reappraise individual aspirations and socially grounded expectations relating to language use. In these and other appraisal processes, self-evaluative standards are employed. In L2 learning, self
PURPOSE: To examine sex differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients surgically treated for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in Sweden, utilizing data from the National Swedish Kidney Cancer Register (NSKCR).METHODS: In this study of 4658 surgically treated RCC patients, data on HRQoL, clinical, demographic, and socioeconomic characteristics were retrieved from the NSKCR for pati
Den svenska mervärdesskattelagen, ML, stadgar att mervärdesskatt ska beta-las vid omsättning av vara. Ett exempel på när sådan omsättning föreligger är enligt 2 kap. 1 § 1 p. då en vara överlåts mot ersättning. Mot bakgrund av att mervärdesskatterätten i hög utsträckning är unionsrättsligt harmoniserad ska ML tolkas i ljuset av mervärdesskattedirektivet. I direktivet används inte be-greppet omsättThe Swedish Value Added Tax Act provides that VAT must be paid whenever there is a turnover of goods. An example of such turnover is, according to Chapter 2, Section 1(1), when goods are transferred against payment. How-ever, given that VAT law is largely harmonized under EU law, the Swedish Value Added Tax Act must be interpreted in the light of the VAT Directive. The concept of turnover is not u
Photoredox catalysis of organic reactions driven by iron has attracted substantial attention throughout recent years, due to potential environmental and economic benefits. In this Perspective, three major strategies were identified that have been employed to date to achieve reactivities comparable to the successful noble metal photoredox catalysis: (1) Direct replacement of a noble metal center by
Bakgrund: Hjärntrötthet definieras som en extrem, framförallt mental trötthet som begränsar individens funktion, aktivitet och delaktighet i det vardagliga livet. Hjärntrötthet post stroke är i sig ett direkt resultat av organisk hjärnskada. Besväret beskrivs som lägre energikapacitet och är relativt förekommande post-stroke. Symtombilden är multidimensionell och komplex då ett flertal kognitiva f
Den här kandidatplatsen syftar till att kartlägga de tre egenskaperna definition, erkännande och självständighet, vilka är gemensamma för juridiska folkrättssubjekt. Egenskaperna utgör en del av de underliggande uppfattningarna om vem eller vilka vi accepterar utgöra juridiskt folkrättssubjekt. De underliggande uppfattningarna utvecklas genom händelser, erfarenheter, behov etcetera inom det internThis thesis aims to uncover the three properties of definition, recognition and independence shared by international legal subjects. These properties are included in the underlying conceptual scheme of who or what we accept as an international legal subject. The conceptual scheme is developed through the events, experiences, needs etc. within the international community. By uncovering the properti
