However, the report indicated that living

Internationella dataöverföringar stödjer den globala ekonomin, underlättar internationellt samarbete och främjar ekonomisk expansion. Denna ökade produktivitet innehåller dock risker, nämligen stora risker för kränkningar av den personliga integriteten. I en tid som domineras av tekniska framsteg har regeringar, inom EU och i tredjeländer, potential att överträda individers integritet på en nära gInternational data transfers serve to support the global economy, facilitating international collaboration and economic expansion. However this increased productivity comes at a cost, namely amplified personal data privacy and security risks. In an era dominated by rapid technological advancements, the clandestine actions of intelligence agencies have the potential to infringe upon the privacy and

Can we manipulate how morally permissible or unjustifiable someone finds a certain action by framing a dilemma in either a first- or third-person perspective? This online study aims to investigate this question through a between-group study. 42 participants, recruited through social media, on campus, and through snowballing, were divided into two groups and asked to rank nine different moral

Distansavtalslagen har genomgått flera lagändringar och utvecklats i samband med digitaliseringens utbredning. Det har medfört en ökad användning av digitala tjänster och varor med digitalt innehåll. Utformningen av distansavtalslagens konsumentskyddande bestämmelser har även påverkats av moderniserade EU-rättsakter, som införts i syfte att harmonisera bestämmelserna för den gränsöverskridande hanThe Act on Distance Contracts and Off-Premises Contracts has undergone several changes to the law and developed in connection with the spread of digitalisation. This has led to increased use of digital services and goods with digital content. The design of the Distance Contracts Act's consumer protection provisions has also been influenced by modernized EU legislation, which was introduced wit

Den tekniska utvecklingen har påverkat hur vi interagerar och bidragit till betydande framsteg. Samtidigt har den medfört utmaningar i form av bristande differentiering på den inre marknaden till följd av varierande datainnehav bland aktörer. Företag och organisationer strävar efter att dra nytta av data för att skaffa konkurrensfördelar och främja innovation. I detta sammanhang står EU inför utmaThe technological development has influenced how we interact and has contributed to significant progresses. Simultaneously, it has brought challenges, particularly in the form of a lack of differentiation within the internal market due to varying control of data among actors. Companies and organizations strive to leverage data to gain competitive advantages and promote innovation. In this context,

As Hamas comes into the public eye because of their attack on Israel and their civilians on 7th October 2023 so does the question on what Hamas is. Are they a resistance movement? Or are they a terrorist organization as some countries deem them? Are they something else entirely? This paper examines their original charter from 1988 through a rhetorical framework of Stephen D. O’Leary’s apocalyptic

This study aimed to examine how empathy is portrayed in picture books for children aged 3-6. A total of 18 library books were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis, which consisted of a compilation of image and text analysis. By applying a psychological, social psychological, and communicative perspective on the empirical material, several aspects of empathy expressions were made visible.

The purpose of this study was to investigate men's experiences of being subjected to domestic violence by their female partners, identify the consequences of this violence, and analyse barriers to seeking help or leaving the relationship. The goal is to understand the nature of the violence and its impact on the men involved. Two theories have been used to analyse the results: Goffman’s theory

Domestic violence is not a new phenomenon and it is regarded as a social and public health problem worldwide. Domestic violence means great suffering for the victims of violence, but also a cost to society in the form of healthcare, lost income, sick leave, and efforts from social services. Most of the research about why women remain in or leave abusive relationships is made within an internationa

Denna studie sökte svar på huruvida människor tenderar att känna mer empati för personer som tillhör deras politiska ingrupp än de som befinner sig i utgruppen, och därmed om empati är selektivt i förhållande till politiska in- och utgrupper. Empati definieras här som (1) kognitiv empati, (2) affektiv empati, och (3) empatisk oro. Urvalet bestod av personer som identifierar sig som socialdemokrateThis study sought to answer whether people have a higher tendency to feel empathy towards people who are part of their own political ingroup, rather than those who are in the outgroup, meaning, if empathy is selective in relation to political in- and outgroups. Empathy is defined here as (1) cognitive empathy, (2) affective empathy, and (3) empathic concern. The sample consisted of people who symp

Astronomiska tecken tyder på att det mesta av materian i universum inte är av den vardagliga typ vi möter på jorden, som noggrant beskrivs av standardmodellen för fysik. Att introducera denna nya substans är användbart för att lösa astrofysiska problem genom den stora gravitationella dragningskraft som denna materia har. Namnet mörk materia får den genom att det inte verkar påverkas av ljus och anThe Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed target experiment at SLAC's LCLS-II electron beamline that will attempt direct production of sub-GeV dark matter, measurable through a missing momentum and missing energy signature. An initial run of LDMX is planned at 4 GeV beam energy, for which a study on LDMX's capabilities to separate dark matter production events from the s

There is no consensus on how to define and measure green growth. Consequently, we can neither state if growth is actually green nor econometrically explore important questions such as what determines green growth. This thesis takes a three-step approach to move one step closer to a unifying longitudinal cross-country measure of green growth. It analyzes how green growth has been quantitatively mea

This paper sought to examine the experiences of an intimate partner violence policy, created in order to spread both awareness and implications to act among residents of apartment communities. The initiative, called Huskurage, has been introduced in a Swedish crime prevention context. When implemented, the policy engages neighbors to look out for each other. Our study scrutinizes the experiences o
