Reducing inequality in Chile has long been a priority of policymakers because of its negative impacts over political representation, spatial segregation and distribution of opportunities. Through the framework of vulnerability, this research suggests that an unexpected impact of inequality in Chile is an increased likelihood of experiencing losses due to natural disasters. By using logistic multil

I problembakgrunden redogörs för hur mobilshopping har kommit att bli en allt större del av människors vardag. Tidigare forskning på området har framförallt fokuserat på konsumenters acceptans av och motivation till mobilshopping, samt är av övervägande kvantitativ karaktär. Det finns dock kvalitativa studier på ämnet, där bland annat Fuentes och Svingstedt (2017) har undersökt mobilshopping ur et

För finansiella institutioner vars affärsmodell bygger på att låna ut pengar är det högst relevant att på ett så säkert sätt som möjligt kunna avgöra om en potentiell kund är lönsam eller inte, det vill säga om det är troligt att denne betalar tillbaka sin skuld i det fall han eller hon beviljas ett lån. För att skatta sannolikheten att en kund hamnar i fallissemang och för att diskriminera mellan

Many things have been written about Shakespeare’s comedies The Taming of the Shrew and Much Ado About Nothing yet few scholars have looked at the father-daughter relationships in any detail. This essay explores the father-daughter roles in these two plays and looks at the spectrum of contrasting relationships Shakespeare presents us with. The father roles in both plays are similar, but the daughte

Eutrophication is one of the biggest threats to aquatic ecosystems. As nutrient load increases in marine environments in the Öresund and Baltic Sea and dead zones grow, Swedish municipalities further their efforts in limiting the amount of nutrients delivered into those environments. Since the majority of nutrients enter aquatic systems through surface flow as a result of nutrient leakage, a relia

This essay is concerned with three authors' projection of self and their personal trademarks within various digital platforms. The authors' posts on social media are examined on the basis of how they relate to the authors' trademarks. Viveca Sten and Katarina Wennstam’s websites and Denise Rudberg’s podcast participation are analysed based on how these platforms present a projection of

Foreign aid allocated to projects aimed at enhancing gender equality has grown rapidly and amounted to $45 billion in 2017, with the largest share allocated to countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite the large amounts, the effectiveness of aid to gender equality aid has received little scholarly attention. This thesis studies the impact of foreign aid aimed at gender equality on a range of indica

Cosmopolitan theory has long argued that the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. Through borderless phenomena such as climate change, and through globalizing processes such as cross-border mobility and the global market, we are becoming increasingly aware of their social and political impact as global news and debates fill our social media channels. To this end, cosmopolitan theory argu

Temporary agency work is an ongoing trend that has been growing largely in the recent years. It is defined by a triangular relationship between temporary agency workers (TAWs), temporary agency, and clients. Furthermore, it is associated with low status and low-skilled job tasks. Despite its growing role in the labor market, little is known about the TAWs’ organizational commitment to their tempor

Despite a small population, Australia is globally relevant as the largest per capita emitter of greenhouse gases in the OECD and the world’s largest exporter of coal. Australia is also uniquely positioned amongst developed nations as being both acutely exposed to climate change impacts and being without coherent energy and emissions policies. This study reassesses Australia’s emissions profile uti

Research on developing economies has largely ignored the possibilities for shifting the center of attention towards well-being instead of economic growth. Due to the deficiency of research on well-being, especially with regard to ICT, this study approaches the current research gap and attempts to integrate recent literature by proposing a combination of frameworks and indicators. Kenya is not only

To allow further device scalability within the data storage industry there needs to be continued research of new technologies. One promising technology is the Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM), based on magnetoresistive elements, which is non-volatile; consume low power and have fast read and write operations. To make the technology scalable, the bit (the smallest element in the MRAM) needs to

Ungefär 95% av alla barn i Sverige går i förskolan. Förskolans verksamhet ska följa de mål och riktlinjer som läroplanen för förskolan beskriver. Läroplanen beskriver bland annat områden som berör demokrati, värdegrund och att ta ansvar för att kunna skapa en framtid. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur och om två pedagogiska inriktningar påverkar pedagogernas förhållningssätt i verksamheten

The aim of this thesis is to answer the question how the interconnection of two success factors contribute to the individual elements of the Front End of Innovation, as identified by Koen et al. (2001). The distinguished success factors are; the integration of marketing & sales and research & development, and customer involvement (Florén et al. 2018). To get a thorough understanding of the

According to Christopher Vogler, all unforgettable stories contain a distinctive dramatic structure and an evolving hero accompanied by other archetypical characters. This essay examines the popular children’s book Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, and which impact the different archetypes in the story have on Percy’s growth as a hero. Traditionally, the mentor archetype is mostly credited fo

In the automotive sector purchasing plays a key role in strategic management, as most companies are pressured by constant innovation and cost pressure. Hence, most companies focus on lean management and outsource many of their business activities to stay competitive. The supplier selection is crucial to be able to efficiently and effectively carry out business operations. Therefore, in order to es

BVOC emissions from trees contribute to ozone and secondary aerosol formation and therefore have an impact on air quality. The two most abundant BVOCs emitted from trees are isoprene and monoterpenes. In urban areas, air pollution levels are already elevated and high rates of isoprene and monoterpene emissions from trees will potentially contribute to even higher levels of ozone and aerosols in th

In 2016 the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI) decided to modify its resistance strategy towards the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI). This study analyses political imaginations within the displaced KDPI community in Iraqi Kurdistan through a social constructivist paradigm and the methods of observations and interviews. Findings highlight “insider views” of resistance and outline how identity
