This thesis aims to explore the role a private network of investors can play when addressing and investing in the Sustainable Development Goals. The network explored is the Sida facilitated network Swedish Investors for Sustainable Development. The network was created in 2016 and has since worked to increase the knowledge among the members regarding how they should invest more efficiently in the S

Syftet med förevarande framställning är att utifrån en komparativ studie av svensk och australiensisk rätt beskriva och jämföra hur respektive land reglerar barnets bästa i vårdnadsmål. Både i svensk och i australiensisk rätt förekommer begreppet barnets bästa och i båda länderna görs en in casu bedömning vid bestämmandet av vad som är bäst för barnet. Utformningen av lagstiftningen skiljer sig eThe purpose of this essay is that of describing and comparing the Swedish regulation of the concept the best interests of the child in cases concerning legal custody with the Australian regulation of the same concept in cases concerning parental responsibility. Both Sweden and Australia have a legislation that regulates the best interests of the child and in both countries the decision of what is

This study focuses on the part of the policy process called implementation. Theorists like Lipsky (1980) and Rice (2012) assign the street-level bureaucrats a major role in this process. The street-level bureaucrats of object in this study are personnel on group homes for unaccompanied minors. Since the children do not have anyone else to look after them, it is the welfare states responsibility to

During the last decade, the ecological theory of adaptive radiation, and its corollary "ecological speciation", has been a major research theme in evolutionary biology. Briefly, this theory states that speciation is mainly or largely the result of divergent selection, arising from niche differences between populations or incipient species. Reproductive isolation evolves either as a result of direc

The use of animal models in Parkinson's disease research has been controversial in terms of how well they relate to the clinical condition and thus their utility for translating therapies from the lab to the clinic. In this article, two researchers debate this issue with Roger Barker taking the view that such models are not useful and may even be misleading, while Anders Björklund defends their us

We need to know if and how western barbastelles Barbastella barbastellus are affected by wind farming in Sweden. This is because wind turbines are frequently constructed in barbastelle habitats and yet there is no national guideline on how the arising conflict should be handled. We studied the movement, behavior and mortality of a barbastelle population at a wind farm in southern Sweden, using rad

We have previously demonstrated that the genes of SCPs (semen coagulum proteins) and the WFDC (whey acidic protein four-disulfide core)-type protease inhibitor elafin are homologous in spite of lacking similarity between their protein products. This led to the discovery of a locus on human chromosome 20, encompassing genes of the SCPs, SEMG1 (semenogelin I) and SEMG2, and 14 genes containing the s

Are women absent from Western Music History? This is a question of an apparent and easy answer; however, the reality differs. This issue prevails and only started to be discussed more seriously in recent years, since feminism has been a current on-going discussion through the world. In music, circumstances are seemingly slower to evolve still allowing discriminative actions. Through the analysis o

The development of clean technology (cleantech) is necessary in order to address many prominent environmental challenges. However, financing can be a hurdle for the development of cleantech companies. Venture capital (VC) plays an important role in cleantech development. While the four large Nordic countries are regarded as performing well in terms of cleantech innovation there are signs that VC i
