Volunteer tourism (VT) has over the past decades rapidly increased and many young individuals travel to the Global South with intentions to develop communities and travel. Critique has however indicated that unskilled young individuals do not contribute to the development of the community, rather the opposite. This study examines how students of development studies at Lund University reflect back

Sex trafficking has from six hundred thousand to four million victims each year (McCabe and Manian, 2010: 41-43). Because of different legal barriers, sex trafficking is closely associated with organized crime; crime victims often do not search for support from legal systems, law enforcement authorities, or other officials (ibid.) This thesis was to understand how law affects the ability of preven

Syftet med denna studie är att ta fram en arbetsmetod för att samla in, lagra och visualisera geografisk data på ett enkelt och billigt sätt, samt att man når en stor målgrupp med denna geografiska data. Studien riktar sig främst till arbete som pågår i utvecklingsländer och i miljöer där man jobbar med begränsade resurser. Många organisationer som jobbar under dessa förutsättningar har inte råd aThe purpose of this study is to develop a method on how to collect, store and visualize geographic data in an easy and inexpensive way, and to enable a wide audience to reach the information. The focus of this study is mainly on projects that are taking place in developing countries and in environments where one usually works with limited resources. Many of the organizations that are working in th

Abstract Habitat complexity is shown to be an important driver of invertebrate diversity on impacted coral reefs when the diversity supported by a comparative unit of habitat complexity is compared to that of a pristine coral reef. The more structurally complex pristine reef does not support the conventionally expected greatest amount of diversity, instead an upper limit threshold to habitat comp

This study explores the concept of Food Sovereignty on a local level among Mayan peasant groups from three communities situated in the southern coast of Guatemala. Drawing on the analytical concepts of Social Exclusion and Unfavourable or Forced Inclusion, it inquires into how food sovereignty can help overcome challenges experienced by the peasants. In addition, it inquires into how the challenge

This thesis investigates local civil society organizations in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) and their perceptions on what human rights are, what causes human rights abuses and human rights violations in BiH, and what role they perceive themselves to have in transforming the current human rights situation. The methodology used was semi-structured interviews collected in the field and later explored wit

This experimental study examined the effect of peer discussion and the effect of question format: free recall, follow-up and focused questions, on children's (age of 9-11 years) memory recall of a witnessed event. The children were randomly assigned in pairs that watched one of two perspectives of a film. Half of the pairs discussed the film and the other half of the pairs had a neutral discus

Purpose: Our purpose with this study is to examine the employee perception of the organizational culture and intra-organizational coopetition within a multi-brand organization. Through this investigation the study aims to unveil the concept of coopetition in the light of cultural assumptions, focusing on the interrelation between organizational culture and coopetitive practices. Methodology: This

Some numerical methods approximate the Jacobian using finite differences as part of their process. The finite difference method of approximation resembles the limit definition of the derivative. Since a computer cannot handle the mathematical concept of limits, a sufficiently small number has to be chosen as an increment. However, when the increments are chosen outside of certain acceptable ranges

The EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy was created to stabilize the EU’s Neighbourhood, fuel the EU’s geopolitical crisis management ambitions, and strengthen European values abroad. In the recent debate, however, it was criticized as ineffective or destabilizing. While specific regions and mission types were previously researched, a comprehensive analysis of all EU crisis management operatio
