Att hantera mångfald kan definieras på olika sätt. En betydelse orden kan ha är bland annat att förstå att det finns olikheter bland anställda och att dessa olikheter kan, om de är rätt hanterade, fungera som en tillgång till att arbeta mer effektivt och ändamålsenligt. De flesta forskare inom mångfald anser att mångfald är till fördel, men det finns även andra forskare som ser problemet som mångf

With the use of soft power politics in warfare as the root of interest, this study uses the theories of cultural diplomacy and visual international relations to explore how images may be central to modern-day warfare and conflicts a
In this paper I investigate the relation between corruption and press freedom, perceived press freedom and the difference between press freedom and perceived press freedom as well as the causality of corruption on press freedom. My hypothesis is that corruption has a negative effect on both press freedom and perceived press freedom but that a higher level of corruption tends to make people believe
Using music as a tool for teaching a foreign language has been shown to positively affect the language learning process (Balčytytė-Kurtinienė, 2018; Cañete García et al., 2022; Heidari- Shahreza & Moinzadeh, 2012), and this essay suggests that authentic English songs can be used in the teaching of EFL in lower-secondary school in Sweden to efficiently meet many aspects of the syllabus. Therefo
This thesis examines the challenges that women human rights defenders (WHRDs) in Bangladesh are experiencing in a period of shrinking civic space.

Halligen are small low-lying islands that only exist in the North Sea and get flooded during storm surges. The North Sea’s Sea level is projected to rise 60 to 70cm by 2100, making climate change adaptation a question of survival for the Hallig residents. Previous research has focused on technical aspects of adaptation, leaving a knowledge gap on how power and public participation shape adaptation

Food and the feminine self have always had a profoundly complex relationship. It has been the site of gender oppression, corporeal discipline and more recently, self-pleasure and creativity for women. It is clear that material world foodwork has provided women with a resource to navigate gender ideals, whether from a more traditional or contemporary perspective; this idea extends to foodwork in th
With an increase in temperature (T) and a change in precipitation (P) patterns due to climate change, global conditions for tree growth are changing and shifting. While some areas experience an increase in P, favoring tree growth, many regions are also predicted to show a decrease in P, leading to trends of desertification. This study examines the projected climate change in Nigeria, located in Su
Within the field of border studies, a common theoretical assumption is that national borders and national sentiments are interconnected. Some even argue that national boundaries are a precondition of national sentiments (Anderson & O'Dowd, 1999; Paasi, 1998 (b)). If one instead looks toward cross-border regions, an equally accepted theory is that national borders create regional asymmetrie
