Tiden är knapp att nå uppsatta klimatmål. För att nå dit krävs kraftfulla åtgärder och styrning. Det står även klart att vi inte når ett hållbart transportsystem med bara någrafå åtgärder – det krävs att en mängd olika åtgärder och styrmedel kombineras och införs. Utöver ökad energieffektivisering, byte av drivmedel och ökade transportkostnader krävs även åtgärder och styrmedel för ett mer transpo
By looking at the empirical case of IKEA’s sustainability journey (1992-2017), using qualitative methods such as interviews and document studies, this thesis shows how sustainability talk over time is made into a legitimate feature of retail talk. Something I argue is a far more difficult, complex and problematic endeavour for retailers to undertake than most previous research on the topic would h
The hegemony of the private car is increasingly challenged as new policies and technologies affect passenger mobility. This study investigates how car-sharing is emerging and unfolding amidst established urban mobility practices. We apply a conceptual framework with seven elements based on social practice theories and transition literature to deconstruct practices in order to reveal how such (rela
This chapter focuses on a specific kind of governance namely sustainability governance. Combatting climate change and social inequalities calls for governance systems specifically directed to corporate sustainability. Today our companies are fiercely working on setting up efficient systems for sustainability governance. In this chapter, the reader will learn what a sustainability governance system
The game plan firms must navigate in the quest of competitive advantage which is changing quickly. More and more firms acknowledge that future prosperity depends on achieving the joint goals of economic, environmental and social sustainability. This understanding has resulted in both firms and actors on the financial markets enhancing their focus on environmental, social and governance dimensions
The mass media constructs authority by creating 'intimacy at a distance' (John B. Thompson) between public figures and the people. This chapter argues that, over the course of the long nineteenth century, rulers both gained new possibilities for staging their authority through the emerging mass media, and lost control over this mediated staging under specific circumstances, often turning from mast
Sociality in spiders has evolved independently multiple times, resulting in convergently evolved cooperative breeding and prey capture. In all social spiders, prey is captured by only a subset of group members and then shared with other, non-attacking group members. However, spiders' propensity to attack prey may differ among species due to species-specific trade-offs between risks, costs and bene
Objective: The purpose of this study was to clarify the clinical heterogeneity of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in a national Swedish sample of affected individuals using latent class analysis. Method: Using a Swedish population-based sample of AUD cases ascertained from medical, criminal, and pharmacy registries (n = 217,071), we applied latent class analysis to sex, externalizing and internalizing
We study opinion evolution in networks of stubborn agents discussing a sequence of issues, modeled through the so called concatenated Friedkin-Johnsen (FJ) model. It is concatenated in the sense that agents’ opinions evolve for each issue, and the final opinion is then taken as a starting point for the next issue. We consider the scenario where agents also take a vote at the end of each issue and We study opinion evolution in networks of stubborn agents discussing a sequence of issues, modeled through the so called concatenated Friedkin-Johnsen (FJ) model.

The statistical models used to derive the results of experimental analyses are of incredible scientific value and are essential information for analysis preservation and reuse. In this paper, we make the scientific case for systematically publishing the full statistical models and discuss the technical developments that make this practical. By means of a variety of physics cases - including parton
This article explores the theme of suffering in the book of Isaiah using the concept of the absurd, developed by Albert Camus. Confronted with a reality of persistent displacement and suffering, and with Yhwh's indifference to it, the authors/editors of the book of Isaiah accentuate a sense of absurdity of Israelite existence after the Babylonian exile. Some of the more peculiar texts about divine
Dysregulation of sleep heightens pain sensitivity and may contribute to pain chronification. Interventions which consolidate and lengthen sleep have the potential to improve pain control. The main objective of this systematic review was to examine the effects of sleep-promoting pharmacotherapy on pain intensity in patients with chronic pain. Multiple electronic databases were searched from incepti
Vilka former och uttryck kan en avslutande skriftlig uppgift på grundkursen ta? För att initiera en diskussion som tar vara på den samlade expertis och erfarenhet som finns bland åhörarna ställer jag frågan: hur skapar vi som lärare progression och konstruktiv länkning från första större skrivuppgift till en väntande kandidatuppsats? Syftet med presentationen är att öppna för denna diskussion om
Med sitt subarktiska klimat, decentraliserade demografi, syn på barn och uppfostran och naturorienterande kultur är Norden en intressant geografisk utgångspunkt för ekokritisk forskning (Goga, Guanio-Uluru, Hallås, og Nyrnes 2018, Duckworth og Lykke Guanio-Uluru 2021). I dettaföredrag diskuterar jag den roll det nordiska har fått i berättelsen om Greta Thunberg. Utgångspunkten är ett tiotal bilder
