As many societies are digitally transforming, citizens need to adapt and acquire digital skills to participate. Research has shown that low levels of digital skills can increase digital exclusion, and that skills needed to participate in society should be addressed in digital policy. The European Union (EU) with its many citizens has the potential to affect them all through its policies. In this t

In order to stay globally competitive, the European Union is in the process of transforming into a data economy. Therefore, the European Commission has published its Strategy on Data in order to address this macro development. Further, the private sector directly affected by policies has its own strategy to address this issue. One particular initiative, GAIA-X, envisions a European federation of c

In recent decades, the Republic of Turkey has emerged on the global stage. Through a number of state-run organisations, the country has built a notable presence across former Ottoman territories as well as in the broader Muslim world. This thesis investigates the activities of the Turkish state against the backdrop of Joseph S. Nye’s theory of soft power through a case study of the Turkish presenc

Despite the well-known threat that the use of fossil fuels poses to the climate many countries continue to provide large subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. The EU has declared that its member states should phase-out fossil fuel subsidies, but progress has been lacking and subsidies for fossil fuels in the EU remain large. This paper aims to understand which factors explain the persistence of s

The European road transport sector is an integral part of the European Single Market. Since the Central- and Eastern enlargements the sector has grown and today more than 45% of all haulage in the EU is performed by truck. With that backdrop, the Commission in 2017 proposed the Mobility Package to regulate the social and safety aspects of the sector. This thesis assesses the becoming of the Mobili

Although the EU has substantial influence over how and with what Swedish municipalities work, the national level still tends to be the point of departure for the EU cooperation and analysis thereof. This qualitative single case study intends to abandon that tradition through investigating the consequences of EU projects at the local administrative level. Due to a lack of earlier research about the

One of our times most significant challenges is the threat to climate change and global warming. This research embarks on a novel pathway. The theoretical framework Capital Approach Framework is used within political science studies to analyse the transition towards sustainable development on a local level in Sweden. The aim is to answer the research question: "What factors in local governanc

Japan currently faces a rapid increase in labor immigrants due to the decrease of the population. The number of immigrant children is expected to increase because of the open labor immigration policy. Although the education of immigrant children is very complex, Hamamatsu city and Kani city have implemented successful educational policies to solve the problems of out-of-school children. This resea

Scan-on-receive (SCORE) is a promising digital beamforming technique for future high-resolution wide-swath synthetic (HRWS) aperture radar (SAR) systems. By pointing the receive pattern in real time towards the expected direction of arrival, and combing the antenna receive channels, SCORE achieves a sharp and high gain receive beam in elevation. SCORE allows for improved SAR imaging performance co

The thesis places itself in the scope of two intensively ongoing debates. The first concerns the concepts of ‘sustainability’ and ‘sustainable development’, and the second concerns Swedish forestry policy. Assigned by the government, the Swedish Forestry Agency published the report ‘Forestry with new possibilities’ in late 2019, aiming to produce clear steps for future sustainable forestry in Swed

The Swedish tax on lightweight plastic carrier bags has been a contentious issue in the arena of national politics. There have been many debate articles, interpellations, and other expressions of opinions on the matter. The tax was introduced by several political parties as part of the January Deal as a response to the EU directive on reducing microplastics in the environment. In this thesis, I ha

The aim of this paper is to examine what role ethnicity and gender plays in the workplace of assistant nurses in a municipal nursing home in Sweden, and when it is of importance. This was conducted through a qualitative study where interviews were held with three female assistant nurses with differing ethnic backgrounds. The execution of these interviews showed that their own ethnicity plays a rol

This research seeks to develop a greater understanding of the frames used when news media in the global North report on Southern development donors. Particularly, this research aims to identify and interpret the different frames used by the UK, US, and French news media when covering Cuban Medical Internationalism during COVID-19. This research finds that the frames employed are ambivalent. Medica

Energy sector transformation will define our coming decade, as an unprecedented energy transition is required to keep the planet to 2°C warming. Despite this urgency, strong governmental resistance to low-carbon energy transitions is observed. Under the Obama administration, a Caribbean energy policy was pursued that exemplifies this resistance. Promoted as a clean energy policy, the Caribbean Ene

Förorenade områden har länge varit ett stort miljöproblem i Sverige. Kostnaden för att avhjälpa föroreningsskador är ofta stor. I syfte att undvika att sådana kostnader belastar stadsbudgeten har regler om avhjälpandeansvar förts in i 10 kap. MB. I första hand åligger avhjälpandeansvaret verksamhetsutövaren, det vill säga den som bedriver eller har bedrivit en verksamhet eller vidtagit en åtgärd sContaminated areas have long been a major environmental problem in Sweden. The cost of repairing pollution damage is often high. In order to avoid such costs being charged to the national budget rules on remedial liability have been introduced in Chapter 10 of the Environmental Code. The primary liability lies with the operator, i.e. the one who conducts or has conducted an activity or taken measu

Different EU institutions have handled the rule of law-crisis in different ways, with strong academic criticism towards the Commission regarding that they should have a more systematic and aggressive approach in their Article 258 TFEU procedures. Through an analysis of the different procedures available in Article 7 TEU, Article 258, 259 and 267 TFEU it is researched how effective these procedures

Ansvarsfrihetsbeslutet är ett obligatoriskt ärende på årsstämman i ett aktiebolag, vilket motiveras med intresset att få ett snabbt och klart avgörande i frågan om bolagsledningens skadeståndsansvar. Det finns ingen särskild bestämmelse i ak-tiebolagslagen om majoritetskrav vid detta beslut. Däremot finns en generell re-gel om att bolagsstämmans beslut utgörs av den mening som har fått mer än hälfThe discharge decision is a mandatory matter at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of a limited liability company. It is motivated by the interest in obtaining a quick and clear decision on the issue of company management's liability for damages. There is no special provision in the Swedish Companies Act on majority requirements for this decision, although there is a general rule stating that th

Om en tvist har internationell anknytning och svensk domstol är behörig, kan svensk domstol behöva tillämpa ett annat lands lag. För en svensk domare anses det vara betydligt svårare att tillämpa utländsk rätt än svensk rätt. Det har hävdats att rättvisan äventyras när utländsk lag ersätter domstolslandets lag. Tolkningsfel påstås vara regel och i praktiken avgörs många tvister enligt domstolslandIf a dispute has a foreign connection and a Swedish court has jurisdiction, the Swedish court may need to apply foreign law. For a Swedish judge, it is significantly more difficult to apply foreign law than to apply Swedish law. It has been claimed that justice is jeopardized when foreign law enters the court room replacing the law of the forum. Errors in interpretation are claimed to be the rule

Dis/ability rights have for a long time been excluded from the discourse and practice of international development. This has taken a turn with the creation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. International organisations have extended their policies on dis/ability, and some development agents now explicitly mainstream dis/ability. Sweden, however, does not h

I Sverige är ägarförbehåll vanligt förekommande i handeln med kapitalvaror eftersom det är ett enkelt och billigt sätt för säljaren att få säkerhet för sin köpeskilling vid kreditköp. Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka möjlighet-erna för en ägare av en näringsverksamhet att med sakrättslig giltighet förbehålla sig äganderätten till verksamheten vid försäljning av densamma. En överlåtelsIn the market of capital goods, a retention of title clause is a common and easy way for a creditor to get security for the payment. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the possibilities for a seller of a business to use a retention of title clause, and get indefeasible protection, when he or she sells the business. A transfer of a business is often associated with long preparations and
