An attempt was made to create a museum that focuses on the issues of democracy, migration and human rights by the Swedish authorities in 2015. As a result of the feasibility study of such an institution, the Museum of Movements (MoM) began to operate in its temporary location in Malmö. In September 2020, it was decided that the museum would no longer be financed by the Swedish government and the d

Denna uppsats har som syfte att undersöka hur lärare kan utforma en normkritisk litteraturundervisning i ämnet svenska på gymnasiet. Undersökningen utgår från Ninni Holmqvists novell ”Kostym” för att analysera lärares arbete med värdegrunds- och queerfrågor i litteraturundervisningen. Teorier om litteraturdidaktik, normkritisk pedagogik och queerteori samt intervjuer med svensklärare och novellen The purpose of this essay is to investigate how teachers can provide a norm-critical literature education in upper secondary school. Four teachers using the short story “Kostym” by Ninni Holmqvist were interviewed to evaluate how they incorporate the Swedish school’s fundamental values in their teachings of literature. A theoretical basis of literature education, norm-critical pedagogic and queer

Den svenska offentliga sektorn har under de senaste decennierna varit föremål för en rad förändringar vars konsekvenser satt sina spår i många av dess verksamheter. Förändringsprocessens startskott skedde redan på 1980-talet och den offentliga sektorn präglas sedan dessa allt mer av ökad privatisering, konkurrensutsättning, (de)centralisering och ökade krav på effektivisering. Samtliga ovanstående

Strong online platforms, such as Facebook, Amazon and Google, pose new obstacles in the field of EU competition law. For example, the process of assessing dominance is generally divided into two steps: (i) defining the market and estimating the undertakings’ market shares and (ii) analysis of ‘other factors’ that are indicative of market power. However, since online platforms differ considerably i

Bolsa Família is one of the largest conditional cash transfer programs in the world. It provides cash transfers to poor households, conditional on human capital requirements such as minimum school attendance. The literature emphasizes that more schooling increases the human capital formation of children, which leads to improved employment outcomes and will break the inter-generational transmission

Bakgrund: Att vara anhörig till en person med psykisk ohälsa kan innebära påfrestningar som gör att anhöriga själva löper risk att drabbas av psykisk ohälsa.

Dålig luftkvalitet inomhus påverkar inte bara komforten och hälsan hos oss människor. Dålig luftkvalitet kan också bidra till att bakterier och virus kan sprida sig om förhållandena i luften är gynnsamma för viruset eller bakteriens överlevnad. Flera studier har gjorts där olika virus överlevnadsförmåga har undersökts under olika temperaturer och relativa fuktigheter. Studierna har visat att den rPoor indoor air quality not only affects the comfort and health of us humans, but it can also contribute to the spread of bacteria and viruses if the conditions in the air are favourable for the virus. Several studies have been done where different virus survivability has been examined under different temperatures and relative humidity. Studies have shown that the relative humidity affects the via

Klimatförändringar förväntas ha en stor inverkan jordens ekosystem i framtiden och till en viss grad har en sådan påverkan redan börjat märkas av. Exempelvis har man märkt att trädens lövknoppar brister ut allt tidigare om vårarna, samtidigt som vissa flyttfåglar väljer att stanna i Norden över de mildare vintrarna, i stället för att flytta till sydligare breddgrader. Det här är troligtvis en konsLegacy effects of spring temperature anomalies on seasonal productivities in northern ecosystems Direct and lagged effects from spring temperature anomalies for the time-period 2001-2018 have been investigated for northern ecosystems (> 30°N). Three different data sets of Gross Primary Production (GPP) estimates (GOSIF, NIRvGPP and FLUX GPP) have been used in tandem with concurrent climate data

The purpose of this thesis is to first evaluate how the EU´s FD is implemented and understood on a national level in Sweden. This is done to highlight the process and division of power, together with the national implementation strategies demarcation across different actors in Sweden.

Although attacks carried out by incels are a growing problem in Western countries, these attacks do not count as terrorism. The purpose of this thesis is to gain a clearer under-standing of why attacks carried out by incels are not considered acts of terrorism. The thesis attempts to answer this question by determining whether misogyny, definitions of critical components, or other factors account

Hur kan ett nytt konstmuseum i Amiralsstaden bli en generator för stadens framtida utveckling? Mitt intresse att angripa denna fråga har uppstått i ett debattklimat där inblandade aktörer argumenterar för sina respektive ståndpunkter i lokaliseringsfrågan, men där avsaknad av konkreta visioner gjort att diskussionen nått en återvändsgränd. Med detta examensarbete vill jag med hjälp de verktyg och How can a new art museum in Amiralsstaden become a generator for city development? My interest in tackling this issue begun in a debate where stakeholders argue for their respective positions on the issue of location, but where the lack of concrete visions has led to the discussion reaching a dead end. In this thesis, I intend to utilize the tools and processes developed during my studies to make
