Korruption är ett begrepp som inte har någon klar definition. Det är många vetenskaper som diskuterar korruption, dock görs detta med delvis olika synvinklar. Denna framställning visar att det finns många olika perspektiv att anlägga på korruptionsproblematiken, perspektiv som dessutom leder till olika slutsatser om problematikens orsaker och verkan. Fler tvärvetenskapliga perspektiv behövs, för aCorruption is a term that has no clear definition. There are many disciplines that discuss corruption, however, this is done with somewhat different perspectives. This essay shows multiple perspectives on corruption issues, perspectives which also lead to different conclusions about the causes and effects of corruption. More interdisciplinary perspectives are needed to be able to work against corr

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

This thesis investigates how urban experimentation is governed in the new development district in Sege park in Malmö. Together with with private developers and a local NGO the municipality test and experiment with solutions for how the sharing economy can contribute to reduce the future resident’s climate impact and living costs. By using the theoretical lens of governmentality this thesis focusse

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

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

Sundarban mangrove is the largest continuous mangrove forest in the world and is the habitat of an incredible amount of biodiversity. Biodiversity loss and degradation of this highly ecologically productive mangrove forest due to climate change will have a tremendous impact on the livelihood of the people living in the deltaic region. The present study was aimed to find out the dynamics of change

Human-induced impacts are increasing pressure on coastal ecosystems, particularly on benthic ecosystems in high-latitude regions. It has become evident that three of the greatest marine environmental challenges related to anthropogenic activity are warming, ocean acidification, and deoxygenation. The effect of these environmental changes on our uncertain future has created a need to understand the

Japan is ageing and the proportion of people aged 65 or older is expected to reach 29.9%. Given that the system is not changed, forecast of health spending in 2025 is done taken demographic change into consideration. 8.38% of GDP will be needed for health care (acute care) and 2.62% for long-term care. Considering the fact that Japan has spent 5% less than OECD average for health and that the curr

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

Detraditionalization in late modernity has both affected traditional religion and the domain of clinical therapy. New varieties of spiritualized therapy are rapidly increasing in contemporary Sweden, typical of which is to have added healing rhetoric to their agenda, such as "find your inner self" or "develop your inner potential". Four common denominators seem to guide these practices: self-made

Since 1990 sickness benefits have been reduced in Sweden. In this paper we use data from the labour force survey to study the introduction of a qualification day in 1993. Our main centre of interest is the distributional effects caused by this cutback, and to this end we analyse a large number of interactions between background variables and the reform dummy. Considerable attention is thus paid to

Since at least the 1960s, the European Union (EU) has offered various kinds of non-reciprocal trade preferences for developing countries. Originally, these trade preferences had at least two policy goals: (i) to increase export volumes for developing countries and thereby boost their export earnings, and (ii) to facilitate export diversification. While extensive research has confirmed that the fir
