Samhällsplanerare måste ta hänsyn till ett flertal aspekter och många mål- och styrdokument i sitt arbete med att utveckla och planera kommunen. En viktig aspekt är jämställdhetsaspekten som åter blivit aktuell. Det är dock inte helt klart hur planerare ska tänka för att främja jämställdhet i samhällsplaneringen. I form av en fallstudie där fyra samtalsintervjuer gjordes syftar denna uppsats till

NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is a defense coalition that for many years has served to protect the peace and security of many nations. Its capabilities as a collective alliance have predominantly been built on the contributions from its member states, among which the United States undoubtedly has been one of its most foundational components. On the basis of financial burden-sharing

Over the last decades, Sino-African diplomatic relations have undergone various changes, corresponding with China’s strategic objectives in and with the respective countries. Under the Xi administration, China’s approach to diplomacy has focussed on the quest of becoming a major global power while, or rather through, upholding its traditional values. This paper seeks to analyse how the current dis

Bakgrund: I Sverige erbjuds kvinnor mellan åldrarna 40-74 att vartannat år delta i mammografiska hälsokontroller. Deltagandet kan bidra till tidig upptäckt av bröstcancer. Ökad kunskap och förståelse om kvinnors upplevelser i samband med mammografiska hälsokontroller kan bidra till utveckling av strategier för att förebygga negativa upplevelser. Syfte: Att belysa kvinnors upplevelser av ångest och

The left-wing governments that possessed the power of the executive in Latin America for almost two decades are now under duress. The event that has posed the initial threat to the “reign” of the Pink Tide is believed to be the 2015 election of Mauricio Macri in Argentina. This event triggered a chain reaction of conservative changes in government and a backlash against left-leaning dominance. Hav

This study explores the Chinese computational propaganda exploitation during the Covid-19 crisis. By demonstrating the intricacies of this case of computational propaganda utilization, this research attempts to answer an even larger question: How do authoritarian countries incorporate computational propaganda to their soft power strategies. To that end, first; a theoretical bridge was formed betwe

In association with the refugee crisis in 2015, more people sought asylum in Sweden than ever before. The Swedish government initially pursued a relatively welcoming asylum policy with open borders and with a vision of maintaining the right to asylum. This moral attitude towards refugees would subsequently take a turn. On December 9 in 2015, the Bill "Specific measures during serious danger t

De 14 olika urfolken i Ecuador har landrättigheter och rätt till kollektivt självbestämmande. Inom ramen för detta har urfolk också rätt till att utöva urfolksrättiva. Detta innebär att urfolk har rätt att skapa, utveckla och utöva sitt eget rättssystem för att lösa tvister och problem inom det egna sahället, tolkat och applicerat genom egna kulturella värderingar och normer. Denna rättighet finns

För samhällsviktiga verksamheter som drivs av offentliga aktörer finns lagkrav på att utföra risk- och sårbarhetsanalyser, vilka ska innehålla beroendeanalyser. Dock finns det en brist på vägledning gällande utförande av dessa analyser. Ett av de starkaste beroenden som finns i samhället idag är elberoendet. Därför finns ett intresse för att undersöka hur elberoendet analyseras i praktiken inom saIn Sweden, risk- and vulnerability assessments, including dependency analyses, are required by law for public actors who are of vital societal functions or critical infrastructure. However, there is a lack of guidance regarding how to perform this kind of analysis. Electrical power is one of the strongest dependencies of our society today. Thus, it is interesting to examine how the dependency of e

Ecuador has experienced a drastic political transformation since the return to neoliberalism under the reign of president Lenin Moreno. Political contentions between the government, environmentalists, and indigenous peoples have led to increased social resistance, protesting the use of extractivism and other neoliberal policies to increase economic growth and relieve national debt. In 2019, the Wa

Russia has been issuing passports to Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus since the Soviet dissolution. Most targeted are secessionist regions of former Soviet states, whose populations are now becoming Russian due to passportisation. This has had several effects on the Eastern Neighbourhood, including brain drain, meaning that the highly educated and skilled citizens are emigrating. The brain dr

Images hide the meaning that words cannot convey. With increased interest in addressing place branding in social media setting, the importance of photographs in image making of the place beforehand from consumers point of view seem to lack interest. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore Instagram photography in image formation of the place. We love Lithuania serves as a case where ZMET te

The project started with the question “why wouldn’t a disabled or old person want it to look nice at home?” Many assistive products on the market are designed in a way that doesn’t fit the interior trends, which is an issue for several reasons. By the aesthetics assistive products possess, the users get labeled as people who are sick and abnormal. The brief was then created and the goal was to des

Pappers- och pappersmassaindustrin har ökat markant under de senaste årtiondena. På grund av att samhället har blivit mer miljömedvetet har återvinning av papper blivit en allt viktigare del inom industrin. Återvunna pappersfiber är dock av lägre kvalité än nygjorda fibrer. Syftet med denna rapport är att analysera möjligheterna att använda ett enzym av typen lackas för att modifiera interaktionenThe pulp and paper industry have been a growing market during the last decades. Due to higher environmental concerns among people, the recycling of papers has become an even more important part of the industry. Recycled paper fibers however are of lower quality than virgin fibers. This report aims to analyze the possibility to use a laccase enzyme to modify the interaction between lignin and recyc

The European Commission has recognised the need for a transition to a circular economy paradigm which promotes resource efficiency and sustainable waste management. To achieve such transition, there is a need to introduce new policy instruments that leads to waste management improvements. Quantitative macroeconomic modelling in this area is still scarce and provides few insights about the conseque

In recent decades, digitalisation has been a catalyst for economic growth, along which a vital need emerged for contemporary organisations to rapidly anticipate and react to changes. Organisational change is thus a recognised and widely researched topic within the literature. As we study a software implementation, executed as planned change project, we take on a process perspective on change, part

Many product-based companies have identified digital services as a promising way to differentiate themselves and to stimulate future growth. However, as digital services frequently induce a business model change to a pay-per-use or subscription model, companies see themselves increasingly challenged as their revenues are progressively dependent on customers’ actual usage. This is in contrast to th
