This study’s main purpose is to, through discourse analysis, reveal how and to what extent New Public Management is reflected within the Swedish international development assistance and related politics during the period 2005-2015. The study also aims to explore whether there are other visible steering concepts, in order to discuss ”what comes after New Public Management”. With the help of a the
This paper critically examines sexual risk reduction interventions, more specifically how they are evaluated and the implications that this has for sexual health policy. The focus is on motivational interviewing (MI) interventions which aim to promote protective behaviors related to sexual risk on the part of young people.

Background: Traumatic brain injuries continue to be a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Most traumatic brain injuries are classified as mild, with a low but not negligible risk of intracranial hemorrhage. To help physicians decide which patients might benefit from a computerized tomography (CT) of the head to rule out intracranial hemorrhage, several clinical decision rules h
We examine the causes and policy implications of strategic (willful) ignorance of risk as an excuse to overengage in risky health behavior. In an experiment on Copenhagen adults, we allow subjects to choose whether to learn the calorie content of a meal before consuming it, and measure their subsequent calorie intake. Consistent with previous studies, we find strong evidence of strategic ignoranceWe examine the causes and policy implications of strategic (willful) ignorance of risk as an excuse to over-engage in risky health behavior. In an experiment on Copenhagen adults, we allow subjects to choose whether to learn the calorie content of a meal before consuming it and then measure their subsequent calorie intake. Consistent with previous studies, we find strong evidence of strategic igno
The need for modelling of materials behaviour under various mechanical conditions is driven by the evolution of computer capacity and the ability of scientists to address complex mechanical problems. Reliable models for materials behaviour, including accurate numerical values of parameters, are necessary for a continued beneficial development of the computational side of solid mechanics. High rate
A search is presented for the direct pair production of a chargino and a neutralino [Formula: see text], where the chargino decays to the lightest neutralino and the [Formula: see text] boson, [Formula: see text], while the neutralino decays to the lightest neutralino and the 125 GeV Higgs boson, [Formula: see text]. The final states considered for the search have large missing transverse momentum
FN-stadgan förhandlades fram, efter andra världskriget, i syfte att minimera risken för framtida krig och ställa all våldsanvändning under FN:s kontroll. Art 2.4 FN-stadgan förbjuder stater att bruka våld och art 51, rätten till självförsvar, är ett undantag från våldsförbudet. Tanken bakom undantaget är att garantera medlemsstaterna rätt till självförsvar om det uppstår en väpnad attack. Syftet
In the year of 2000 the world leaders signed on the Millennium Development Goals, which is eight measurable and time-bound targets to reduce world poverty and promote human rights. In order to achieve these sets of goals by 2015 a lot of foreign aid is being given. The approach towards aid and the MDGs are being criticised by William Easterly. He claims that this approach, which he calls planners
This thesis concerns the patterns of organization visible within the context that is the Scanian runestones in relation to roads, organized clustering and energy-conservativity. As well as the digital methods increasingly used to analyze such patterns. Using FMIS databases and LIDAR-elevation data it analyses the long, spread out lines of runestones visible in the landscape through GIS spatial-sta
Feminist foreign policy initiatives have since they first appeared weathered criticism when put in relation to an active weapons export often to non-democratic states violating women’s rights. This paper then examines the Swedish case by using argumentation analysis as method to test the moral commitments of Sweden’s foreign policy initiative against recent arms deals. It was made to explore the p
In Sweden, the food and agricultural sector is highly concentrated, especially in the food refinement and retail sectors, with a few major actors holding significant market power. This concentration poses challenges for smaller agri-food companies in Skåne, Sweden. This thesis aims to in depth exploring the challenges smaller agri-food companies face today. The thesis employs a case study approach
Translated title: Navigating in uncertainty Subtitle: A qualitative study on the port's organizational strategies and its relationship with external risks University/programme: Lund university, Logistics Service Management Course: LGMK 65 Authors: Albin Persson, Selin Onay Supervisor: Malin Andersson Number of pages: 48 This study aims to understand how external risks impact ports.

The situation for the environment is in many ways dire. However, amidst all the negative environmental developments it is easy to neglect the successes that have actually happened. With the aim of better understanding what factors facilitated such a success this thesis analyses one such case, namely emissions of dioxins and chlorinated waste from the pulp and paper industry in Sweden. Dioxins were
Entrepreneurs often face high levels of stress (Boyd & Gumpert, 1983; Shepherd, Marchisio, Morrish, Deacon & Miles, 2010) and stress has been found to affect a team’s performance (Driskell, Salas & Johnston, 1999). At the same time, private equity investors are a common source to gain external funding, while being known for their value-added roles as well as potential risks (De Clercq,

The aim of this qualitative study has been to analyze how young adults with Yugoslavian background form and sustain relations across national borders. The study covers second-generation migrants (hereby titled as young adults with Yugoslavian background) who are born in Sweden, with Yugoslavian born parents that came to Sweden as refugees between the years of 1990-1998. Ten semi-structured intervi
Over the past two decades, immigrant-receiving countries have been confronted with honour crimes. In a number of Western European countries, there have been cases of police failure to intervene in cases of honour crimes occurring in migrant communities. The authorities responses to honour crimes have consistently been inadequate, as they do not take victims of honour crimes seriously and fail to p
This study investigates the relationship between prior entrepreneurial intent and perceived learning outcomes of students entering a new venture creation programme. Previous research in this field has not addressed the influence of prior entrepreneurial intentions on learning outcomes but rather treated entrepreneurial intent as an outcome of entrepreneurship education. Therefore, the aim of this
This study analyses the constitutive power of narratives in relation to a retroliberal paradigm shift in EU development policy by focusing on blended finance targeting sub-Saharan Africa. This study builds on the claims of Mawdsley (2015) that a reconfiguration of global development policy has challenged the North ontologically, which have been accompanied with the emergence of retroliberalism.
