Background: Excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics is considered to be the most important reason for development of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. As antibiotic resistance may spread across borders, high prevalence countries may serve as a source of bacterial resistance for countries with a low prevalence. Therefore, bacterial resistance is an important issue with a potential serious
In modern history, Sweden has experienced two major financial crises: the early 1990s and the global financial crisis in 2008. During the last decades, there has been an increased global focus on regulating and supervising banks, where Basel III is the leading framework. Today, one of the most debated issues within the global economy is Covid-19. It is uncertain how the pandemic will affect countr
Less than a decade ago, Swedish law demanded that a person who wanted to change their legal gender had to be without any ability to reproduce. This demand led to many trans people being forcibly sterilized. Even though the demand is now removed from law, lingering effects continues to affect trans people in their reproductive journey. This study examines barriers faced by trans people in three sta
Transport in and through biological membranes that consist of lipid bilayers has a crucial role in many applications in the food or pharmaceutical industries. How to deliver an enzyme through the membranes without damaging the enzymatic activity or the "shelf-life" of the enzyme has been of large interest since 1970 [29-30]. In this work, we have shown that a thin lipid sponge phase (L3)
Most of classic psychedelic literature indicate its potential benefit to society and the environment during a time of rapid environmental degradation and climate change– hinting its potential role to sustainability and socio-ecological transformation. There is virtually no study drawing the explicit interlinkages of classic psychedelic research to sustainability science but it is observed that the
Reducing emissions in the basic materials sector, which account for 25% of the global greenhouse gas emissions is a pressing climate mitigation task. Investments into decarbonising this sector are critical and therefore raising capital though climate finance is gaining attention. Green bonds are a new asset class that incorporate sustainability criteria into bonds. Despite the increasing use of gr
This thesis provides the first empirical analysis of the electric vehicle ownership gap between vehicle owners living in apartments and those living in houses. Using 2018 survey data collected by RISE Viktoria on Swedish vehicle owners, this study uses regression techniques to quantify the extent to which occupants of apartments adopt electric vehicles at a lower rate compared to occupants of hous
Facing the challenges of climate change and energy depletion, the world needs to deploy more renewable energy to replace fossil fuels. As the largest energy consumer and carbon emitter, China’s sustainable energy transition is particularly important. Owning the vast offshore wind (OW) resources, the Chinese Government has set ambitious goals on OW that provides a reliable and reasonable alternativ
Even as the public awareness and concern about climate change are increasing, and the younger generations are urging for political action, support for more costly and ambitious mitigation policies is not given. The low-cost hypothesis theory provides an explanation for why our concern about climate change fails to translate into supporting policies when the personal cost is high. However, research
Three-part parenting is an approach that social services in Sweden should use in collaboration around a child placed in foster care. It describes how foster home, parents and social services share responsibilities for the welfare of the child. The purpose of this study was to illuminate the state of knowledge about the approach among social workers working with children and adolescents in Sweden.
Den svenska rättsstaten står inför allvarliga prövningar. Det grova våldet till följd av skjutvapen har ökat markant i Sverige, och risken för tredje man att drabbad av skjutningar och detonationer på offentlig plats har ökat. Samtidigt som våldet även blivit mer hänsynslöst och likgiltigt. Antalet brott inom denna kategori ökar, men uppklaringsandelen är låg. En förklaring till den dystra statistThe Swedish rule of law is facing serious challenges. The use of firearms resulting in severe injury has increased significantly in Sweden, and the risk of third parties being affected by shootings and detonations in public places has increased. At the same time, the violence has become more ruthless and indifferent. While this type of violence is increasing, law enforcement agencies are at a loss
Many people are struggling with eco-anxiety, a chronic fear of environmental doom. Currently, eco-anxiety is managed through face-to-face psychotherapy, but with a lack of eco-anxiety psychology specialists, mobile mental-health applications bring new possibilities. In this thesis, current psychological eco-anxiety management responses (EMRs) are thematically analysed through the lens of Integral
By utilising a narrative analysis, this qualitative study takes a historical perspective on the impact of political unrest and political violence on Thailand’s economic development from 1970 to 2020. The study identifies the key state actors in Thailand’s political sphere as well as their relation to each other. Furthermore, the study classifies five ‘eras’ in the reviewed period and identifies di
Vid uppsägning på grund av arbetsbrist aktualiseras regler om turordning. Enligt turordningsreglerna har en arbetstagare med lång anställningstid företräde till fortsatt anställning framför en arbetstagare med kortare anställningstid. En förutsättning för företräde är dock att arbetstagaren med lång anställningstid har tillräckliga kvalifikationer. Det är detta kvalifikationskrav som är ämnet för
Regelverk på nationell och internationell nivå som syftar till att uppmuntra och underlätta internationella investeringar och handel möjliggör idag för multinationella företag att verka transnationellt genom användning av filialer och dotterbolag. När det kommer till företagsbeskattning har avsaknaden av ett globalt och universellt skattesystem för att reglera internationella skattefrågor dock möjDomestic and international regulations aiming to facilitate international trade and investment today enable multinational corporations (MNCs) to operate transnationally through the use of branches or subsidiary companies. Within the field of corporate taxation, the lack of a global and universal tax system regulating international tax matters however allows MNCs to exploit gaps and loopholes withi
Seasonal hydrological forecasts of future streamflow volumes can provide water resources managers with valuable information to improve long-term water resources planning and water use efficiency. The latest generation of coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models provides an opportunity for the prediction of hydroclimatic variables (e.g. precipitation, streamflow; soil moisture) at long l
