Purpose – This study explores the assumptions of Sohl and Hill (2007) and Harrison and Mason (2007), and analyses if these can be empirically supported.

Methodology – This study follows a qualitati

Under tillskapandet av skadeståndslagen (1972:207) diskuterades frågor om autonomi utifrån flera utgångspunkter. Förekomsten av dessa diskussioner i lagens förarbeten och i flera framstående rättsvetenskapsmäns arbeten under perioden mellan 1864 års strafflag och den nya skadeståndslagen ger oss värdefull inblick i problemet med autonomi och skadeståndsrätt idag, inte minst vad gäller dess förhåll

Med anledning av den stora vågen av flyktingar som under de senaste åren har sökt skydd inom Europas gränser, har åtgärder implementerats för att kontrollera deras inresa, vistelse, samt utvisning. Användandet av sådana åtgärder, så som förvarstagande, har både ökat och intensifierats i dess användning. Syftet med denna uppsats var därför att fokusera på den svenska praxisen angående verkställighe

Differences in political orientation are partly rooted in personality, with left-wing political attitudes being predicted by Openness to Experience and right-wing attitudes by Conscientiousness. This has been validated across numerous studies from different countries. This essay adds to that body of research by examining whether personality differences between the political sides also exist in the

Land cover conversion affects climate by imposing changes in the surface properties and carbon dioxide fluxes. Forest management programs often disregard that modification in surface albedo influences the exchange of energy and climate sensitivity. By taking into account the role of vegetation in shaping the atmospheric circulation, forest harvesting not always leads to the warming of the climate.

Detta genom att intervjua nio stycken klimataktivister. I intervjuerna beskrivs klimatproblemen som å ena sidan att de ekonomiska lagarnas är överordnade

While previous research suggests that top managers’ long-term orientation is related to their strategic decision making processes, few studies have investigated this relationship in a Western cultural context. Therefor, the aim of the current thesis is to investigate the relationship between long-term orientation and strategic decision making processes, specifically, decision comprehensiveness, de

The European spruce bark beetle is considered as one of the most destructive forest insects to Norway spruce trees in Europe. Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of bark beetle outbreaks. It is therefore of vital importance to detect the bark beetle outbreaks and take it under control to prevent further damages. Remote sensing techniques may provide a cost-efficient solution to

Academic research has tried to explain the challenges women in executive positions face in connection to work-life balance, glass ceiling and the gender gap in management. However, these previous studies have been made mainly quantitatively. Therefore, this study aims to go beyond the numbers by using a qualitative research approach. This thesis has collected in-depth data through interviews with

This thesis is about cultural rights, one of the less discussed categories of human rights. Although seldom mentioned in the human rights discourse outside of the context of economic, social and cultural rights, cultural rights are important on their own. They are present in many international conventions and declarations, as well as being one of the main areas of concern for UNESCO. The thesis be
