In the last 50 years the gay pride movement has gained more momentum worldwide than ever before. The increased visibility obtained from the Stonewall riots of 1969 in the US, granted queer identities agency. Almost a decade later, the gay pride movement started to flourish in Greece as well, but the country did not see its first gay Pride parade until 2005 in the capital city of Athens. Since then

This master’s thesis examines discursive problem representations of involuntary childlessness in official government documents related to the medicalisation of involuntary childlessness in Sweden.

This paper examines the “back-testability” of Expected Shortfall and if different backtesting methods produce similar results, with the aim of illuminating whether various markets have any effect on the methods’ ability to perform. In order to answer this question, the three backtesting methods – Test 1 and Test 2 by Acerbi & Szekely, and the Approximative Quantile Test by Emmer et al. – are i

Climate change affects every ecosystem, country, and individual on this planet. However, its impacts are felt differently across time and space, differentiating between the diverse communities, depending on their vulnerability. The purpose of this comparative case study is to problematize vulnerability to climate change by examining the differences in vulnerability between informal settlements and

The first EU legal acts in this area concerned the establishment of an EU energy market and consequently to create competition be
För en jämn utsläppsfördelning över jordens befolkning, samtidigt som Parisavtalets mål om en 1,5 graders temperaturhöjning nås, kan var individ släppa ut max 1 ton koldioxidekvivalenter (CO2e) per år (Naturvårdsverket, 2021b). Svensk genomsnittlig livsmedelskonsumtion uppgår idag till 1,3 ton CO2e per år och individ (ibid.) vilket innebär att för att nå målen behöver utsläppen från livsmedelskons
