Cyklometallering är en reaktion som används i alltifrån tillverkning av nya material till katalys av industriella kemiska processer, så att de sker snabbare och energisnålare. I denna reaktion reagerar en metall med en organisk molekyl (en ligand) och bildar en cykel och en ny metall-kolbindning. En typ av komplex som bildas genom cyklometallering är pincer-komplex, och dessa komplex kan bland annCyclometallation reactions and pincer complexes are both essential in organometallic synthesis and catalysis. The C-H bond activation is a key step in cyclometallation and metallacycles such aspincer complexes can thus be used to study this bond activation event. Much research has been conducted on the PCsp2P pincer complexes and their cyclopalladations, but not as much on their analogous sp3-hybr

In this thesis, I explore the labor policy design change in the framework of the EU integration process in Georgia. The thesis aims to understand the incentives for recent changes in the labor policy domain covering the years 2014 and 2024, in particular, whether changes were a product of external incentives stemming from EU integration goals or it was the result of internal political will aiming

LSS stadgar rätten till insatser för vissa personer med funktionsnedsättning. Den enskilde ska genom insatserna få möjlighet att kunna leva som andra och tillförsäkras goda levnadsvillkor. En av dessa insatser är personlig assistans som innebär ett personligt utformat stöd för personer med stora och varaktiga funktionshinder. Bedömningen av rätten till insatsen är baserad på tid som fattningen av The Act on Support and Service for Person with Certain Functional Impairments (hereafter LSS) is an entitlement law. Individuals that meet the criteria specified by the act are entitled to measures pursuant to LSS. The measures pursuant to LSS shall guarantee good living conditions and the objective of LSS is to give the individual the opportunity to live like others. One of these measures pursuan

As climate change continues leads to rising global temperatures and poses the threat of extreme weather conditions, the cooling energy demand within the building sector is experiencing rapid growth. This study aims to compare both energy performance and cost efficiency between all-air cooling systems and water-based cooling systems by investigating variable air volume (VAV) system and ceiling radi

Plastmaterial utgör idag en fundamental del av vår vardag men användningen av plast är kopplad till två stora problem; den största delen produceras av fossilbaserade resurser och endast en bråkdel av materialen återvinns. Härdplaster är särskilt svåra att återvinna på grund av deras permanenta tvärbindningar vilket är suboptimalt. Ett alternativt tillvägagångssätt för att skapa tvärbundna materialPlastic materials have grown to become essential in our everyday lives but the usage of plastics is connected to two significant issues; the major part is produced from fossil-based resources and only a fraction of the materials is recycled. Thermosets are especially difficult to recycle due to their permanent crosslinks, which is suboptimal. An alternative approach for crosslinking emerging in th

This thesis investigates the intersection of urban greening and multispecies justice from a more-than-human (MTH) perspective in Mexico City (CDMX). The study addresses a critical gap in existing research, which predominantly focuses on the human-centric implications of urban greening, such as gentrification and human well-being, while neglecting the needs and well-being of non-human life forms. B

This study explores what motivates and later maintains the Hungarian audience’s engagement with Barbie, a product of postfeminist media culture. Furthermore, the study set out to examine the Hungarian audience’s understanding of gender through their engagement with Barbie. It explores how their engagement with the film evokes a sense of belonging and prompts discussions on their own socio-politica

This thesis examines the imagery of the mythological character Omphale in Roman art, from the late Republic to the end of the Severan period; in a qualitative collection of images containing sculptures, wall paintings, jewellery and gemstones. This myth portrays a rather different, and somewhat provocative female character that was adapted from Greek mythology into Roman culture in the last centur

C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group is a transnational municipal network with members from all parts of the world. Based on goals provided by the Paris Agreement, the network gathers scientific solutions to climate mitigation and adaptation and provide a space for its members to share knowledge and best practices. The purpose of this study is to examine the presence of two democratic principles, r

Currently, many Global South countries face an unprecedented debt crisis with large portions of their spending going to debt repayments. This financial restrain hinders their capacity to address basic needs and ecological challenges, particularly as climate change exacerbates vulnerabilities. To provide a solution for this, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) launched their Nature Bonds Program aimed at

The pervasive issue of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) motivated the research for this master's thesis. During a previous professional experience at a chemical consultancy, insights were gained into the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulatory requirements, which informed the foundation of this study. PFAS are recognized for being high

When The Swedish Democrats entered The Swedish parliament in 2010 they were met with both political and policy isolation from the established political parties including the Moderates, the largest mainstream right wing party.

China’s financial actions along the BRI network has sparked a lot of controversies, one of these being the alleged usage of Debt Trap Diplomacy (DTD) in order to gain access to resources through debt relief that they otherwise would not be able to reach through traditional means. DTD practices can be considered part of the International Political Economy’s ‘blind spots’ due to their complexity and

This study explores the area-based policy programme laid out by the Swedish Police towards disadvantaged urban neighborhoods, putting the programme in the context of area-based policy in Sweden since the nineties. The analysis is informed by a governmentality perspective and builds on the concept of problematic of government, following Nikolas Rose and Peter Miller. Through central reports and str

This is a bachelor thesis with the purpose to find out if features of Sweden’s current political landscape express signs of beginning autocratization. It is split into two parts, first to map out autocratic beginning characteristics and later apply them on Sweden. Thematic analysis has been used for the purpose and the essay has been largely inspired by Tidöavtalet and different civil society

The aim with my study is to describe the children and youth everyday conditions in Malmö, Sweden, using idea analysis. Malmökommissionen was a politically independent commission appointed by the municipal board of the city of Malmö in Sweden in 2013. The task of the commission was to investigate and to come up with suggestions based on science on how to reduce the growing health inequalities in Ma

Following decolonisation and a transformation towards democracy, voting in African countries have been considered a practice based on ethnical alignments and clientelism. This study uses the framework of economic voting, the idea that voters consider the economic performance of an incumbent leader to either punish or reward them, to investigate the vote choice in Ghana. Economic voting theory has

The adoption of the EU directive on adequate minimum wages in 2022 was surprising for many. Due to political, legal and historical reasons the directive marks an interesting development in EU labour and social policy. Aiming to contribute to the understanding of this development, this thesis sets out to answer two questions: How did the European Commission put the Directive on adequate minimum wag

Executive aggrandizement is the incremental and intentional dismantling of constitutional checks and balances on executive power. One particular manifestation of this phenomenon, studied within political science for more than 100 years, is the lawful expropriation by executives of the theoretically exclusive lawmaking power of legislatures, an aggrandizement in conflict with the prescriptions of M
