The approach has been to discuss the new emerging a
Social media (SM) use in crisis and disaster management (CDM) is resource-intensive and can overwhelm emergency management authorities (EMAs). Digital voluntarism offers SM capacities for EMAs.

As decarbonization pressures increase for energy-intensive processing industries, understanding demand side readiness is essential in order to scale up breakthrough technologies. This thesis investigates the willingness to pay (WTP) for green steel in the North American automotive industry, with a focus on steel produced by the H2-DRI-EAF route, where hydrogen is produced from renewable electricit

However, smaller cities, while not classified as major metropolises, also play a significant role in urban development. These cities accommodate thousands of residents and have maintained their stability over the y

Den tekniska utvecklingen har möjliggjort nya former av sexuella övergrepp mot barn, där fysiskt möte mellan förövare och barn ofta helt uteblir. Detta har lett till olika typer av utmaningar till det straffrättsliga system som länge varit inriktat på fysiska övergrepp. Trots att forskning visar att digitala övergrepp kan orsaka ett psykiskt lidande som är jämförbart med de vid fysiska handlingar,Advancements in technology have enabled new forms of child sexual abuse, where physical contact between the perpetrator and the child is entirely absent. This development challenged a criminal justice system which has historically focused on physical offences. Research shows that children that have been subjected to online sexual abuse often experience psychological harm that is just as severe as
I början av 1990-talet genomfördes en reform på vårdnadsområdet för personer med funktionsnedsättning, den s.k. LSS-reformen. Avsikten var att lagen (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade skulle ge dessa personer bättre möjligheter att leva sina liv på samma sätt och på lika villkor som personer utan funktionsnedsättning. Lagen har därför utformats som en rättighetslagstiftninIn the early 1990s, Sweden undertook a major reform of care and support services for persons with disabilities: the so-called LSS reform. The aim of the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (1993:387) was to give such individuals better opportunities to live their lives on equal terms as persons without disabilities.
