Aggressionsbrottets Janusansikte

Staters interventionism har legat bakom många grova människorättskränkningar. Eftersom FN-systemets vetorätt skyddar vissa stater från straffrättsligt ansvar finns det få reella utsikter för en minskning av dessa människorättsbrott. Inom det institutionella systemet är den Internationella Brottmålsdomstolen ICC och det möjliga aktiverandet av dess jurisdiktion över aggressionsbrottet – som nu befi

Hiring Through Algorithms

Through technological advancements and the evolution of e-Recruitment tools, Human Resource Management (HRM) has evolved from a traditionally analog talent acquisition process towards a digitized replicant.

Designing transdisciplinary sustainability science : a comparative analysis of a transdisciplinary research framework and design thinking

Sustainability science has to solve some of the most complex problems of our times. So far, the field of sustainability science is more known for its promises than its solutions. It is successful at creating knowledge but is lacking in terms of developing actionable knowledge. The transdisciplinary process incorporates practitioners and the people for whom the solution is intended in the research

Maturity, Speculation and Corporate Hedging - An Empirical Study in Oil and Gas Firms from 2000-2008

In this paper, we develop a new but also under-researched measure for firms’ hedging practice: maturity. Comparison between the outputs of two sets of Tobit model using hedge ratio and maturity respectively shows that the costs of financial distress hypothesis and the financing costs hypothesis are partially supported by both hedge ratio and maturity. Besides, the economies of scale hypothesis rec

New stories for a new, more beautiful world : claiming authorship of the climate story

Sustainability philosophers claim that we are at the impasse of stories, finding ourselves in a blank chapter between the old and the new. The old story, characterized by separation, technological arrogance and human superiority over nature, is unfolding in an ecological crisis giving space for a new narrative defined by inter being, cooperation and balance. It has been put forward that this crisi

Beliefs, Institutional Change and Economic Growth: Evidence from Dubai

Abstract: This study develops, presents and evidences a belief model of institutional change. Drawing on a range of theoretical approaches from institutional economics, the model states that institutions change when an environmental factor alters the beliefs of the population or the elites. Further, a society will only be internally stable when the beliefs of these two groups align, and will only

Worth its salt? : critical analysis of desalination for drinking water supply on Gotland (Sweden)

Vatten är en livsnödvändig resurs såväl för människor som för miljön. Globalt är vattenresurser under ökad belastning vilket resulterar i vattenbrist lokalt. Skillnaden mellan ökande vattenbehov och den naturliga gränsen för tillgången av sötvatten utmanar myndigheterna att hitta lösningar som uppfyller samhälleliga och ekonomiska intressen utan att äventyra miljöinverkan. Vattenproduktion, flöde Water is an essential resource for humans as well as the environment and water resources globally are under increasing pressure resulting in local conditions of water scarcity. The tension between increasing water demands and the natural limit to freshwater supply challenges authorities to find solutions that fulfil societal demands and economic purposes without compromising environmental integrit

Riskbedömning av allergenspridning genom kartläggning av en livsmedelsproduktion

Av den svenska befolkningen är det ca 15 % som lider av födoämnesallergi. Små mängder av ett allergent ämne kan orsaka allvarliga konsekvenser. Därför har alla livsmedelsföretag i Sverige ett lagstadgat ansvar att producera allergensäkra livsmedel. Otillfredsställande hantering av allergener vid de olika produktionsstegen kan ligga till grund för allergenkorskontaminering. Goda grundförutsättninga15 % of the Swedish population suffers from food allergy. Low doses of an allergenic substance may cause serious consequences. Therefore, it is mandatory by law for all food producing companies in Sweden to produce allergenic safe food. Unsatisfactorily handling of allergenic substances in the different steps of food production may cause allergenic cross contamination. Sound prerequisites are of m

Methodology: Qualitative

Concept, Space, Home: A Conceptual History of Social Space, Functionalist Homes, and the Stockholm Exhibition of 1930

The field of Conceptual History is often criticized for considering only a small slice of the historical vocabulary it intends to historicize. What about the discourse of the silenced, working at home, robbed of a pen? Concepts are indicative of many contexts of meaning: in this thesis, therefore, propelled by the foregoing question and statement, it is argued that the main protagonist of German,

Countering pro-violent extremism – compromising contentious political engagement : a critical discourse analysis of the Swedish counter extremism initiative and its impact upon local political practices and contentious left wing political engagement

The thesis builds upon a critical discourse analysis and ethnographic methods such as interviews and participatory observation, in an effort to contribute with original research about how the Swedish counter radicalization project discursively constructs political engagement as “pro-violent” and “anti-democratic”, and how these constructions impacts local political practices. The analysis reveals
