In recent years, the practice of adopting Public Works Programs (PWPs) as a development strategy has increased in developing countries. Successful PWPs have the potential to act as a social protection scheme for the poor and stimulate their economic development. In 2006, the Indian government launched the yet largest PWP, as a way to create a more inclusive growth in the country – the Mahatma Gand

This work has evaluated ISO 3795. It was found that ISO 3795 isn’t a suitable method to test interior materials and its use has led to a low level of fire safety in military vehicles. A different test method to be used for fire testing interior materials in military vehicles was suggested; ISO 5660 cone calorimeter. Eleven different interior materials from two military vehicles were tested in the

During the last 20 years, the number of minority governments in Swedish municipalities have increased dramatically. Simultaneously, the Swedish Democrats have gained an increasing share of municipal voter support. With the help of Down’s theory of political isolation of right-wing populist parties, the aim of this thesis is to statistically analyse the correlation between the rise in municipal vot

Den organiserade brottsligheten i Sverige har radikalt ökat de senaste åren. Det förekommer debatter och förslag på hur man bäst ska få ordning på den ökade kriminaliteten och oron i samhället som har vuxit sig alltjämt starkare. En tanke som länge präglat straffrätten är att kvinnor inte begår brott i samma utsträckning som män. Huvudsakligen stämmer det, men statistiken talar för att kvinnors br

This paper aims to determine if central banks have been monetizing the government debt. That is the case if a higher government debt is associated with low short-term interest rate. The goal for central banks monetizing debt is to increase inflation, therefore decreasing the size of government debt. Three hypotheses are constructed. Firstly, higher government debt leads to lower short-term interes

Kina har under flera års tid varit en av världens snabbast växande ekonomier och utgör därmed en enorm potentiell marknad för svenska företag. Den ökande handeln och transaktionerna med Kina kräver förståelse för kinesisk kontraktsrätt, som ännu inte är särskilt välkänd eller studerad i resten av världen. Syftet med uppsatsen är att jämföra och analysera likheter och skillnader mellan svensk och

Skapandet av familj har länge grundats på tanken om att modern föder barn och fadern bidrar med sina spermier. I takt med att nya familjekonstellationer utvecklats har det varit angeläget att den föräldraskapsrättsliga regleringen anpassats därefter. Lagstiftaren har därför, genom successiva införanden, försökt anpassa den föräldraskapsrättsliga regleringen till nya möjligheter att skapa familj. GThe basis of a family has long consisted of a mother giving birth and a father contributing through his sperm. As new family constellations emerge, it becomes important that the family law adapts accordingly. The legislator has therefore, through successive amendments, tried to adapt the law to account for these new constellations. Through such reforms, people with a change in gender can now give

Social sustainability has increasingly become a central objective in Swedish urban planning. However, previous research highlights that its vague definition has led to diverse interpretations of its meaning and thus varying efforts in planning. This study examines how “Fokus Skärholmen” has implemented social sustainability in its detailed planning, focusing on physical measures linked to the conc

With the publication of Fossil Capital in 2016, Andreas Malm reshaped how scholars understand the relationship between capitalism and fossil fuels. Energy humanities scholars Caleb Wellum and Imre Szeman interviewed Malm in November 2024 about the arguments and impact of Fossil Capital, the development of his thought in several subsequent books, and the shifting landscape of climate politics. At a

Den ökade digitaliseringen av ekonomin har medfört betydande utmaningar för traditionella skattesystem, särskilt i fråga om beskattning av multinationella företag med omfattande digital närvaro men utan fysisk etablering. Detta har lett till rättvisa konkurrensförhållanden mellan den digitala och den traditionella marknaden samt mellan olika staters skattebaser. Mot denna bakgrund har digital beskThe increasing digitalisation of the economy has led to significant challenges to traditional tax systems, particularly with regard to the taxation of multinational enterprises with substantial digital presence but no physical establishment. This has led to unequal competitive conditions between the digital and traditional markets, as well as between different states’ tax bases. Against this backg

Within months, everything changed in the autumn of 2024. Northvolt, once the defining symbol of Sweden’s green transition, suddenly found itself at the centre of one of the country’s most serious economic crises in decades. What had been a modern, sustainable fairytale of rapid growth and global ambition turned into a question of survival, ownership, and maintaining the Northvolt name. It is now
