Papperslösa och Hannah Arendts reflektion om rätten att ha rättigheter

I kapitlet diskuteras tre tolkningar av Arendt, tolkningar som alla har stöd i Arendts text men som vidareutvecklats på olika sätt av samhällsvetare och filosofer. I den första tolkningen är det bristen på tillgodoseende av mänskliga rättigheter för papperslösa om står i fokus. En viktig anledning till denna brist ligger i kopplingen mellan invandringsreglering och mänskliga rättigheter, att state

Korruption & institutionella arrangemang: En jämförande studie mellan Sverige och Island

This essay aims to examine why Sweden and Iceland, two highly developed democratic Nordic countries that appear to be similar in many aspects, have such different levels of corruption. For the past 10 years, Sweden has consistently been ranked higher than Iceland according to Transparency International. Corruption is a multifaceted problem that exists in all countries and has a negative impact on

Hur kan medborgare påverka i samhället? En fallstudie om trafiksäkerheten vid Riggaregatan

Influencing at the municipal level is imperative for Swedish democracy. The purpose of this study is to understand how influencing municipal politicians can be done. This was done by way of investigating if the speed limit outside a preschool in West harbor, Malmö could be affected. Qualitative text analysis of public documents, social media excerpts, an interview with the municipality politician

Rule of Law infringements in Hungary and Poland and the EU institutions safeguarding processes. Between years 2017-2022

What have the EU institutions done to safeguard rule of law values in Poland and Hungary? The goal of this thesis is to examine how Hungary and Poland have acted in ways that contradict EU values of rule of law, as well as what the EU institutions have done to safeguard these principles legislated in the Union's rule of law principle. Using a modified theory of external governance to explain i

Staying together in times of crisis? The Russian invasion of Ukraine and Europeans’ attitudes towards the EU

Are the European people more positive towards the European Union after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022? In light of an increasingly politicized EU, this thesis investigates if the citizens of the EU are more or less positive to the idea of the European Union now afterwards. The study contributes towards research into external shocks on public opinions, and applies its methodology and t

The rise and stall of world electricity efficiency:1900–2017, results and insights for the renewables transition

In the coming renewables-based energy transition, global electricity consumption is expected to double by 2050, entailing widespread end-use electrification, with significant impacts on energy efficiency. We develop a long-run, worldwide societal exergy analysis focused on electricity. Our 1900–2017 electricity world database contains the energy carriers used in electricity production, final end-u

Acoustop horesis pre-alignment of cells enables labelfree enrichment of prostate cancer cells in blood

We have developed a microfluidic chip for isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood based on microchannel acoustophoresis. Ultrasound radiation forces are used to separate cancer cells from blood cells in a continuous flow format. Separation was dramatically improved after incorporation of a 2-dimensional acoustic pre-alignment of the cells before entering the acoustophoresis separation

Water and heat coupling processes and its simulation in frozen soils : Current status and future research directions

To date, most studies on coupled-water-and-heat processes in frozen soils haves focused on the mechanism of changes in frozen soil and the contribution of climate change, hydrological processes, and ecosystems in cold regions. Several studies have demonstrated considerable improvements in the accuracy of simulating water and heat transfer processes in cold regions. However, substantial differences

Deportability Status as Basis for Human Rights Claims : Irregularised Migrants’ Right to Health Care in Sweden

This article discusses the issue of the right to health care for irregularised migrants in Sweden, from a human rights perspective. An extended right to health care for irregularised migrants came into effect through a legislative amendment in 2013. By exploring the legislative process before the new Act on Health Care to Some Foreigners Who Reside In Sweden Without the Necessary Permits in 2013,

Global Power Structures and the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights

The thesis aims to generate hypotheses about the power structures within the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. A comparison of the governing of Indigenous Peoples from the Global North and Global South respectively, is made. Firstly, the representatives in the Forum are counted. In a second step, a discourse analysis is conducted. Results show that the Global North have proportionally more

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

The COVID-19 pandemic, the surge of populism, the climate crisis and many other destabilizing factors in our time, all point at the expectation of trustworthy knowledge and reliable organization devoted to knowledge production and dissemination. 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
