Sverigedemokraterna och klimatförnekelse

Climate change is a global issue and a serious threat to the world we live in. The consequences of climate change are devastating. Despite the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change, studies have shown that politicians and voters of far-right parties are particularly likely to dismiss climate change. People who in various ways go against the research and large amounts of scientific ev

Tackling Brexit: An idea analysis on the similarities of the 2016 Brexit debate and the debate on foreign players in the Premier League

Through an idea analysis, arguments for and against two different policy changes regulating foreign labor in the Premier League will be dissected in order to reveal the nationalist and liberal qualities within them. Arguments made by the Remain and Leave-campaigns during the 2016 Brexit debate, prior to the referendum are also reviewed. The analysis of the empirical material revealed that the two

Socialdemokratin + EU = Sant?

Frågan om europeisk integration förväntas vara en ideologisk sådan. Trots det ger europeiska partier från samma partifamilj olika svar på denna fråga. Detta föranleder ett antagande om att andra faktorer, bortom de ideologiska, påverkar partier i deras ställningstaganden i frågan. Vår uppsats undersöker tre europeiska socialdemokratiska partier för att nå en bättre förståelse av deras skilda uppfa

First-Time versus Repeat Tourism Customer Engagement, Experience, and Value Cocreation : An Empirical Investigation

Though customer engagement (CE) and customer experience (CX) are recognized as key research priorities, empirically derived insight into their association with tourism customers’ ensuing value cocreation and destination revisit intent remains tenuous, in particular for first-time versus repeat customers. In response to this gap, we develop an S-D logic–informed model that tests the effects of tour

Universities under Neoliberalism : Ideologies, Discourses and Management Practices

However, universities remain enmeshed in economic liberalization and ensuing cultural struggles where their funding, governance and practices reflect mark

Customer Engagement in Emerging Markets: Framework and Propositions

Emerging markets are a major contributor to global GDP, thus offering a primary source for economic growth. However, despite these acclaimed benefits, little remains known regarding customer engagement (i.e., a customer’s resource investment in his/her brand interactions) in emerging markets, thus exposing a pertinent literature-based gap. The development of enhanced insight into customer engageme

Dispositions - Space and order

The thesis focuses on both developing an architectural design as proposal for new premises for Malmö Konstmuseum as well as investigating specific topics in architecture. The project is a typological study of form, space and order with a focus on structuralism and deals with man’s relationship to its spatial environment. The project starts with a literature study serving as a basis. It continues b

Global Norm-maker as China’s New Brand? An Analysis of the Responsible Cobalt Initiative (RCI)

China’s influence in extractive industry sectors worldwide has expanded in tandem with the rising global demand for the natural resources integral to producing such low carbon products as electric vehicles. Many Chinese-operated mining projects overseas have hence generated broad concern on the ground about their negative environmental and social impacts. Chinese actors, meanwhile, have begun to e

A key finding was that the way individuals perceived their situation was highly dependent on the status of their asylum application. In cases where all instances of the Swedish asylum process had been involved, the children described their

Re-evaluation of the impact of BUD21 deletion on xylose utilization by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Various rational metabolic engineering and random approaches have been applied to introduce and improve xylose utilization and ethanol productivity by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Among them, the BUD21 gene was identified as an interesting candidate for enhancing xylose consumption as its deletion appeared to be sufficient to improve growth, substrate utilization and ethanol productivity on xylose, e
