To this date, a growing body of scientific literature has emerged focusing on the effects of sport for development programs towards the intended primary beneficiaries. Less is known, however, about the effects on those individuals tasked with delivering those interventions in the field. The use of peer-education for intervention delivery has been widely adopted within the field of sport for develo

Water resource management in Slovakia is characterized by a ‘command-and-control’ paradigm. The main feature of this approach is in a view that is based on the predictability of the future water situation. People rarely think about water as an issue in Slovakia - the rivers flow, it rains, the taps run. However, after severe floods in 2010, more attention has been given to flood control and preven

With increasing frequency we hear calls from activists and academics alike to tackle the structural roots of the current global social-ecological crisis. For those of us situated within academia, this provides an opportunity to critically examine how underlying processes related to the roots of this crisis manifest in and are perpetuated by our own institutions, and how to make academic programs w

Production of urban space is an indispensable component of capitalism. Without production of urban space, capitalism cannot sustain capital accumulation and cope with over-accumulation crises. However, as environmental consciousness grows, urban development projects are increasingly exposed to green pressures and demands because of their associated eco-climatic impacts. One possible way for capita

The official notion of women in Burma is that they are equal to men but happy with their non- political domestic role in society. This notion undermines the work and struggle done by women in the oppositional movement. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to add to the understanding of how women participate in the Burmese ethnic and student oppositional movement. The study used feminist

Tajikistan is one of the countries for which external labour emigration is of crucial importance. Hence, this qualitative study focuses on identifying how labour migration from this country is shaped. It highlights the fac

Acknowledging that development initiatives often fail to bring about the long-lasting changes envisioned, the concept of ‘participation’ has been promoted to support principles such as ownership and sustainability. Unfortunately, participatory approaches largely fail to engage in and incorporate people’s different understandings of the world. Appreciating that when engaging in these differences, d

År 1976 kom medbestämmandelagen (MBL) som innebar ökad förhandlingsrätt angående frågor som gällde förhållandet mellan arbetsgivare och arbetstagare. Inom kommunal sektor ersatte MBL flera lagar och avtalsförbud som tidigare gällt för kommunala tjänstemän upphävdes. För att skydda den politiska demokratin så kan kollektivavtal än idag inte tecknas om myndigheters verksamhet avseende dess mål, inri

By using Tajikistan as a case, this study adopted a qualitative approach to understand the different dimensions which make households of migrants with tuberculosis vulnerable to food insecurity. A vulnerability framework was used to identify the risks that tuberculosis poses on households’ availability, accessibility and utilization of food. Then, these risks were analysed in relation to the copin

This study aims to explore the influence that stigma and beliefs have on the disability-related help-seeking for children with intellectual disabilities in Kampala, Uganda. These children are regarded as one of the most neglected groups in developing countries, where access to rehabilitation services frequently is restricted starkly, and beliefs and stigma are believed to interfere in the process

This study questions the linear and top-down planning and implementation methods of mainstream development projects, as they do not seem to: achieve its expected outcomes; respond to the complex development context; or allow development beneficiaries to be a part of deciding their own development, despite promotions of inclusive approaches. The purpose was to explore if collaboration could serve a

The case chosen is the invasion and occupation of the US-led coalition of Iraq. The period of time chosen is the years 2003-2005. By using three different approaches in feminist theory; standpoint feminism, liberal feminism and postcolonial feminism, this thesi

Bhutan has been subjected to major changes in terms of economic development, political and societal transitions. The group mostly associated with this modernization and globalization process is the youth living in the

The steel company SSAB in Borlänge has five plate heat exchangers that they use to cool the process water. The water is used to cool the steel after hot rolling. The exchangers need to be cleaned sometimes because of fouling, that reduces the cooling efficiency. This results in higher energy use and higher costs in the end. The goal of this paper is to create a model of a plate heat exchanger to m

Vikten av ett rikt föreningsliv är stor och kanske avgörande för många ungdomars positiva utveckling. För att undvika kriminella gäng, droger och annan brottslig aktivitet bör vi i vuxenvärlden utan att tvinga ungdomarna erbjuda alternativ till dessa avvikande beteenden. I intervjuer med föreningar och organisationer knuta till idrottande ungdomar framkommer det att ungdomsidrotten tappar medlemma
