This paper aims to discover viable ways in which the Global South can effectively challenge the primacy of the Global North, in order to create a more equitable global order. This thesis is premised on a dependency approach to international relations which stipulates that the Global South, or Third World, is underdeveloped because of actions by the Global North, or the First World. The legacy left

Sverige har som klimatmål att uppnå nettonoll koldioxidutsläpp till år 2045 och därefter sträva mot negativa utsläpp. För att nå detta mål krävs omfattande elektrifiering av samhället och dess sektorer. Elproduktionen måste då komma från förnybara energikällor samt kärnkraft, om det prioriteras. Energimyndigheten och Svenska Kraftnät förutspår att elbehovet kan uppgå till 350 TWh år 2050 om alla pThis master thesis analyses the future electricity mix in Sweden with a focus on 2035, 2045, and 2050. The study is done with regards to reaching the climate goals in Sweden, and to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, and thereafter have negative emissions. The thesis analyses political, economical, social, and technological aspects in a PEST-analyse for the power sources in the curre

Människohandel och människoexploatering beskrivs som de värsta formerna av arbetslivskriminalitet. Människohandel kan bestå i att transportera människor genom tvång, varvid syftet med handeln kan vara tvångsarbete eller att på annat sätt utnyttja arbetskraften hos en person. Människoexploatering angriper själva exploateringen. Människohandel och människoexploatering sker ofta genom att utländsk arHuman trafficking and labor exploitation are described as the most severe forms of workplace crime. Human trafficking can involve transporting individuals through coercion, with the purpose of such trafficking often being forced labor or otherwise exploiting the workforce of a person. Human exploitation targets the exploitation itself. Human trafficking and human exploitation often occur through t

Uppsatsen redogör för den aborträttsliga utvecklingen i USA mot bakgrund av tre rättsfall från Högsta domstolen i USA, närmare bestämt Roe v. Wade (Roe), Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey (Casey) och Dobbs v. Jackson Women Health organization (Dobbs). I Roe etablerades 1973 en rätt för kvinnor att, med grund i det fjortonde tillägget till konstitutionen, göra abort fram tillThe essay summarizes the historical evolution of the right to obtain an abortion in the Unites States with respect to three judicial precedents from the Supreme Court of the United States, specifically Roe v. Wade (Roe), Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey (Casey) and Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (Dobbs). In 1973 with Roe, the right for a woman to terminate her

En tredjedel av maten vi produceras slängs, mat som har tagit resurser och landyta i anspråk för att bli till. För att få bukt med det globala matsvinnet har FN satt ett hållbarhetsmål att halvera matsvinnet inom mathandel och hushåll till 2030. En faktor som kan kopplas till matsvinn är förpackningar. När de används korrekt förhindrar förpackningar matsvinn genom att ge skydd och ökad hållbarhet,Globally, about a third of the food produced is wasted. To address this issue, the United Nations has set a sustainability goal of reducing food waste in retail and household by 50\% to 2030. One factor that can be connected to the generation of food waste is packaging. When applied correctly, packaging prevents waste by providing protection and shelf life, but when packaging does not meet consume

This thesis explores the legal implications of introducing so-called security zones in Sweden and analyzes them from a rule of law perspective. These zones allow police to conduct body searches and vehicle inspections without requiring specific criminal suspicion within designated geographic areas. Introduced as part of the Tidö Agreement (Tidöavtalet) and now legislated, security zones aim to com

The Canary Islands are an island chain created by volcanic activity, despite extensive studies of the region there is not a clear consensus of their process of creation, primarily there is a question concerning the origin of the magmas which has built up this chain of islands. The largest contributor to these uncertainties is the continued volcanic activity on older islands, something which does n

Introduction Despite an increasing amount of research related to gender-affirming treatment (GAT) outcomes among transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people (ie, people who experience discomfort or distress in the misalignment between their gender and sex assigned at birth) in recent years, the evidence base for current recommendations is suboptimal. One contributing factor is the heterogeneity in

Focusing on how human rights were conceptualized and justified, the study addresses a significant gap in the historiography of human rights education by investigating its development prior to the 1970s.By examining materials from the National Board of Education, and the first tThis article explores efforts to integrate human rights into Swedish education during the early post-war era (1948–1966).

Introduction: A grey-white matter ratio (GWR) < 1.10 at the basal ganglia level on head computed tomography (CT) previously predicted poor outcome with high specificity and moderate sensitivity in cardiac arrest patients. Data on GWR in reference populations are lacking. We explored GWR in a reference group to a cardiac arrest population and hypothesised that none would have GWR < 1.10. Methods: A

OBJECTIVES: Stroke is a serious complication in patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Previous studies investigating stroke in ATAAD patients have been limited by small cohorts and have shown diverging results. We sought to identify risk factors for stroke and to evaluate the effect of stroke on outcomes in surgical ATAAD patients. METHODS: The Nordic Consortium for Acute Type A Ao

Rodent models are important research tools for studying the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and developing new therapeutic interventions for this devastating neurological disorder. However, the failure rate for the translation of drugs from animal testing to human treatments for TBI is 100%. While there are several potential explanations for this, previous clinical trials have reli

Patients and families facing the end of life deal with constant health changes, making their ongoing involvement in care decisions vital yet often overlooked. The iLIVE project conducted a qualitative study across 10 countries, exploring the experiences of patients, family members, and healthcare professionals, enabling a comprehensive exploration of the experiences of end-of-life decision-making.

I cirkulära ekonomier förväntas konsumenter förlänga produkters livslängd och säkerställa att de återvinns—en betydande omställning från dagens ekonomiska system där linjära konsumtionssätt dominerar. För att stödja denna omställning behöver vi förstå hur cirkulär konsumtion (o)möjliggörs i olika kontexter som formats av linjär konsumtion, t. ex. detaljhandeln och hushåll. Syftet med denna avhandlIn circular economies, consumers are expected to extend product lifetimes and ensure recycling—a considerable departure from the linear take-make-dispose model. To support this shift, we need to understand how circular consumption is currently enabled in retail markets and how consumers navigate these tasks. Thus, in this dissertation, I aim to explore and conceptualise how circular consumption is

Popular science description The agrarian reforms of the 18th century were some of the most momentous historical events in Danish history. In the span of 30 years, half of all peasants went from living in a state of serfdom to owning and cultivating their own plots of land, free from the onerous ties of manorial dependence that they had toiled under for hundreds of years. In this pioneering dissert

BACKGROUND: Thirty-eight years of pediatric heart transplantation (pHTx) within the Scandiatransplant organization were analyzed to describe volume trends, regional prevalence, underlying etiologies and outcomes following listing and pHTx.METHODS: Children <18 years listed for pHTx from January 1st 1986 to December 31st 2023 were identified in the Scandiatransplant registry. The cohort was split i

Between 2014 and 2022, Sweden introduced a feminist foreign policy (FFP), which entailed a “systematic gender equality perspective throughout foreign policy”. This chapter focuses on how FFP was practiced and implemented by officials at Swedish Embassies around the world. Using a framework of practice theory, implementation theory and feminist institutionalism, the overarching questions guiding th
