This paper aims to examine whether instances of climate injustice faced by the Sami community are acknowledged and given priority in Sweden's efforts to mitigate climate change. The study centers on mining, which has a complex relationship spanning both current issues and historical tensions between Sami interests and governmental ambitions. The paper will take a postcolonial approach, with a

Given the current societal and political developments in Germany, the visibility and integration of-marginalized is essential to ensure their inclusion in mainstream society. One way of encouraging-contact between majority and marginalized groups is through building social networks, of which-informal and nonformal educational activities play an important part. This thesis examines the-experience o

This thesis examines customer satisfaction within IKEA's support services in Sweden and Great Britain by analyzing customer feedback data. It explores the intersection of anthropology and computational social science, contributing to the growing field of computational anthropology. The study identifies recurring themes in customer comments by employing a mixed-methods approach that combines co

We observe that, while predicting returns remain difficult and uncertain, volatility exhibit more persistence and predictability due to well-known patterns such as volatility clustering (Mandelbrot, 1967). We test whether short-horizon volatility forecasts can be used to time leverage in a passive index strategy so as to mitigate the growth penalty from volatility drag in leveraged exchange-traded

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden remains a major public health problem worldwide. One recommended strategy to prevent CVDs is daily physical activity (PA), and urban green spaces (UGSs) have been shown to promote PA. However, the extent to which UGSs encourage movement depends on their quality. Consequently, making changes in existing green spaces can result in varying levels of hea

Resource related challenges are becoming increasingly severe. The shift towards a circular economy is viewed as one prominent way to overcome the challenges. A shift towards a circular economy would partly require new business models, commonly referred to as circular business models. In order to enhance the development of circular business models, there is a need to understand how companies with c

This paper aims to examine whether the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) debate during 2017 regarding the bill “Restore internet Freedom” can be understood through a theoretical neo-liberal and social-liberal ideological perspective. The purpose of this paper is to clarify and bring an understanding of what was said in the debate regarding the bill, by trying to interpret what political id

24 million people in war-torn Yemen were in 2019 in need of humanitarian aid. Delivery of aid has been hindered by parties to the conflict in what is best described as a strategic weaponization of food. The use of food as a weapon in Yemen requires thorough investigation, but there is a lack of research on the topic. Through a qualitative analysis of the single case of Yemen, this study identifies

This paper is a comparative study of different approaches to using a Discrete Time Micro-structure model. By using the three filtering techniques Extended Kalman, Unscented Kalman and Bootstrap Particle, the hidden variables; excess demand and market liquidity, were estimated and used in an asset allocation strategy that invested in the asset when the excess demand as estimated as positive, due to

The purpose of the present study was to increase knowledge about social anxiety within a population that previous research has largely ignored even though it has been showed that difficulties often arise in this period, namely adolescence; by looking upon how frequently occurring it is, to see which symptoms are most commonly experienced and to see if and how social anxiety relates to diverse psyc

The so-called ‘Resource curse’ has manifested in several resource rich countries in the African continent. When Ghana found oil in 2007, the finding was consequently accompanied by high hopes of economic growth and increased social welfare (blessing), but also fear that they oil would increase corruption and political patronage (curse). The resource curse literature identifies extensive checks and

Regulation of development and entry into sporulation is critical for fungi to ensure survival of unfavorable environmental conditions. Here we present an analysis of gene sets regulating sporulation in the homothallic ascomycete Ashbya gossypii. Deletion of components of the conserved pheromone/starvation MAP kinase cascades, e.g., STE11 and STE7, results in increased sporulation. In kar3 mutants

Background: There is limited knowledge concerning fall-related activity avoidance in people with Parkinson's disease (PD); such knowledge would be of importance for the development of more efficient PD-care and rehabilitation. This study aimed to examine how fall-related activity avoidance relates to a history of self-reported falls/near falls and fear of falling (FOF) as well as to disease severi
