Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur miljöförsvarare kan skyddas inom EUrätten i utövandet av civil olydnad. Syftet baseras till stor del på- och inspireras av Guidelines on Peaceful Environmental Protest and Civil Disobedience som Specialrapportören för miljöförsvarare under Århuskonventionens nyligen har publicerat. Vidare bygger uppsatsen på ett antal internationella konventioner för att undThis graduate thesis aims to examine possible avenues for protection for environmental defenders exercising civil disobedience within the EU legal framework. The aim is based on and inspired by the Guidelines on Peaceful Environmental Protest and Civil Disobedience published in 2025 by the Special Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders under the Aarhus Convention. Further, the graduate thesis buil

This thesis investigates how Vietnamese students in Germany explain the reasons for their choice to study there. It draws on Bourdieu’s field theory, and analyses data from eight semi-structured interviews. It quickly became apparent that all the students interviewed had specific, pre-existing social and cultural capital related to Germany. In terms of outcomes, all are focussed on gaining a highl

The digitalisation of the economy has fundamentally challenged the application of the European Union’s (EU) value added taxation (VAT) law, regarding the classification of transactions involving multiple elements. Digital platforms frequently combine content delivery, payment processing, platform access and intermediation into integrated offerings, making it difficult to determine whether a transa

This thesis examines the conditions under which the triangular simplification mechanism under Article 141 of the VAT Directive may apply to quadrangular chain transactions involving four taxable persons established or identified for VAT purposes across multiple Member States. The triangular simplification mechanism relieves the intermediary operator in a three-party chain transaction from register

Co-production, as a mechanism with collaborative and voluntary nature within the service-oriented logic framework, presents different characteristics in the event of system collapse. When the service infrastructure fails, if the authorities withdraw from the frontline, leaving a gap that disrupts the normal contracts of services. This study focuses on the winter disruption at Schiphol Airport in A

Efforts are increasingly being made to enhance the carbon (C) storage capacity of agricultural soils as a strategy for climate change mitigation by reducing C losses from croplands. Perennial crops have been shown to increase soil organic matter (SOM) storage and promote the stabilisation of soil C, thereby potentially reducing the climate impact of agriculture, although often producing lower yiel

The rapid adoption of generative AI in organisations has given rise to a growing phenomenon known as Shadow AI, which refers to the informal and unsanctioned use of AI tools by employees outside organisational oversight. This study examines what governance mechanisms organisations in Sweden, using Microsoft Copilot, implement to manage risks associated with Shadow AI. A qualitative research approa

This study investigates the effects of overfishing and sea-surface temperature changes on the distribution of Orcinus Orca in the North-east Atlantic and aims to evaluate which factors contribute the most to these shifts in orca presence. As apex predators, killer whales can have a great impact on ecosystems and food webs, and a migration to polar ecosystems could have big impacts on arctic system

This study investigates the combustion and emission characteristics of a two-stroke, direct-injection ammonia/diesel dual-fuel compression-ignition engine under low-load conditions relevant to large marine engines. Although ammonia is carbon-free and can reduce direct CO2 emissions, its low reactivity, strong evaporation cooling, and nitrogen chemistry may cause incomplete combustion, NH3 slip, an

During Chávez’s presidency (1999-2013), Venezuela experienced an increase in lethal violence, becoming one of the most violent countries in the world. In contrast, Ecuador saw a significant decline in homicide rates during the presidency of Correa (2007-2017). This thesis examines why two countries with similar conditions such as oil dependency, socialist governments and geographical locations, ex

This thesis examines the Chinese audience’s emotional response and moral position towards mediated distant suffering on Douban under the documentary Puujee. Drawing on Boltanski’s Politics of pity, Chouliaraki’s analytics of mediation and Schein’s concept of internal orientalism this study conducts a qualitative single case study on Douban 210 comments. Used Thematic coding to identify recurring t

In recent years, the Chinese city of Dali has been intensely romanticised on digital platforms such as Rednote (Xiaohongshu) as a flawless sanctuary of slow living. This digital utopification emerges as a collective response to systemic urban hypercompetition and burnout. Rather than verifying the empirical truth of this destination image, this thesis investigates what utopification actively achie

Drawing on social stratification and relative resource theory, and gender ideology theory, this article investigates how class and gender shape outsourcing domestic work patterns within the Swedish welfare state, a forerunner in terms of gender equality. Using full-population longitudinal administrative registers from 2007 to 2022, we include individual-level information on domestic outsourcing fo

Att åldras och upprätthålla en god hälsa innebär att kunna hantera en mängd olika stressfyllda livshändelser och vardagliga påfrestningar, vilket gör coping till en central psykologisk funktion i högre ålder. En tvärsnittsstudie genomfördes inom den pågående longitudinella kohortstudien Gott åldrande i Skåne för att undersöka ålders- och könsskillnader i coping bland äldre. Urvalet (N = 2722) bestAs individuals age, maintaining health involves managing a range of stressful life events and daily hassles, making coping a key psychological function in older adulthood. A cross-sectional design was employed within the ongoing longitudinal cohort study Good Aging in Skåne (GÅS) to examine age and gender differences in coping among older adults. The study sample (N = 2722) consisted of randomly s

This study examines landslide occurrence and post‑landslide recovery dynamics in Nyungwe Forest Reserve, Rwanda, using a combination of multi‑temporal landslide mapping, environmental and geomorphological predictor analysis, and an assessment of the Tropical Moist Forest (TMF) product. A landslide inventory covering the period from 2000 to 2024 was produced using high‑resolution optical imagery. T

Shared micromobility has been recognized as a promising contributor to sustainable urban transportation systems. Owing to their convenience and efficiency, shared e-scooters have gained widespread adoption globally and emerged as a rapidly growing mobility option. Understanding the relationship between subjective human perception of urban landscape and e-scooter usage intensity is crucial, as it c
