This thesis utilises congruence analysis to investigate if education can be expected to contribute to democratisation in Cambodia, and if Sweden’s and the EU’s development assistance to Cambodia’s education sector can be considered to contribute to democratisation. The study identifies six causal mechanisms in current literature that links education to democratisation. The conditions for each mech
Efficiency requirements are today found in all Swedish municipalities and regions. With the care manager in lead, the home care organisations are today expected to find efficient solutions to organisational problems. The case of the care manager is studied through a thematic analysis of interview data and recruitment announcements. From 11 interviews with care managers and 23 care managers recruit
Europeiska kommissions förslag till en ny Dublin IV-förordning lades fram den 4 maj 2016, COM 2016 (270). Med hjälp av detta instrument ska det vara möjligt att fastställa vilken medlemsstat som är ansvarig för att granska en ansökan om internationellt skydd från tredjelandsmedborgare och statslösa personer som underställs Europeiska unionen. Förslagets effektivitet kommer att studeras genom dess
The purpose of this study was to investigate how food safety measures have developed over the last two decades; how the resent 2020 pandemic affected food safety- and control; how effective the current methods are; and what potential new methods might exist in the coming decade. This study was executed as a combined literary study, where current scientific studies and reports where analysed, and a
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is an EU agency, providing scientific advice and standards surrounding risk assessment in order to maintain food safety in Europe. The aim of this study was to investigate how EFSA communicates uncertainty in conditions of their assessment and if the recommended guidelines by EFSA 2019 is fulfilled. 15 Randomly picked scientific articles produced during th
Agricultural fungicides are extensively used for infestation control, resulting in residues of these compounds in food. Human exposure to environmental contaminants might occur via different routes, such as inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Exposure to several pesticides has been associated with adverse human health outcomes. Our aim was to assess the stability as well as temporal trends of
In Sweden, municipalities play a decisive part in the spatial planning due to their plan monopoly. Green infrastructure can be applied in spatial planning to reduce the effects of several societal challenges, such as loss of biodiversity and climate change. The purpose of this study is to investigate how green plans are used in physical planning and to identify potential development opportunities
In the Swedish region of Västra Götaland, the risks induced by climate change are severe and the increased pace of municipal climate adaptation measures is paramount to meet the effects of climate change. This actualizes a discussion about policy instruments to incentivize increased climate change adaptation. By interviewing 13 civil servants in 11 municipalities in the region, this study maps the
Society is facing numerous environmental challenges today and tomorrow. Several global, national, and regional frameworks and instruments are in place to battle the storm. The Regional Council in Scania works with environmental issues through different programs and methods. Miljövårdsfonden is one of these methods, where financial support is allocated to various external projects to further a posi
Barriers and solutions to reducing the personal carbon footprint 60-70% of the global CO2-emissions are directly related to our lifestyle and changing our behaviour has a huge mitigation potential. However, many find it difficult to change their lifestyle and the factors facilitating personal behavioural change are poorly understood. This study investigates barriers and solutions to behavioural c
Water-related issues such as drought and water scarcity are problems that many countries around the world are facing. To solve this, multiple efforts have been made to combat these problems such as adopting Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) as a management approach. IWRM is a holistic approach that links different water systems and has therefore been popularized and conceptualized by man
The aim of this study is to reveal how the oil-in-water interface of triolein emulsions in aqueous solutions is affected by the lipase activity when using five different surfactants as emulsifiers. For this purpose Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) were applied. Lipases are enzymes that catalyses the hydrolysis of ester bonds of lipids, i.e lipolysis, and act a
Recycling reduces the need for new raw materials and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the new waste legislation from the EU and the Swedish government imposes higher recycling requirements on Swedish municipalities. Starting from January 1, 2024, it will be mandatory for all EU member states to separately collect food waste through curbside collection. The Swedish government has also decided
The use of chemicals is increasing. Human health and the environment are exposed to hazardous substances along a lack of knowledge about how these substances actually affect us and our environment. In the homes, the use of chemical cleaning products is widespread. Various products meet many important needs, but could at the same time pose major risks to human health and the environment if not corr
Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (Ehec) and Salmonella can infect humans via food and at worst ocation cause serious illness. Infections caused by Ehec and Salmonella in vegetables are increasingly receiving attention. The ability and jurisdiction that exist within Swedish supervisory and authority work to respond to changes or new situations linked to infections from vegetables, influence Swedens
The concept of “right to repair” has increasingly gained attention during the last few years. What originally started as a movement by consumers frustrated by their inability to repair the products they own, has now evolved politically and led to different types of legislation to promote product repairability and reduce the environmental impact of mass consumption. However, exactly what the right
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is the most common form of violence against women globally, with high prevalence rates among refugee communities. Previous literature indicates its relation to negative mental health outcomes such as depression and the potential help of social protective factors. The current study investigated the protective role of perceived social support (PSS) and cognitive socia
How do we know that the food we eat is safe and healthy? Sweden is high on the charter over countries which have the highest food safety standards. Food health inspectors play an absolutely crucial role in maintaining these standards and systems. By inspecting food processing facilities, restaurants, and other food establishments they help prevent the spread of foodborne illnesses and help pro
The issue of freedom of expression in the context of Turkey and the European Court of Human Rights (‘ECtHR’ or ‘the Court’) has been widely discussed from legal perspectives. Especially, with the changing political, legal and social dynamics in Turkey within 2003-2022, the case-law of the Court increased by a considerable amount. All the contingencies affecting the argumentative and interpretive a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Anhöriga – aspekter på börda, livstillfredsställelse och effekter av stöd. Med en ökande befolkning av äldre och en samtidig minskning av möjligheter till hjälpinsatser inom såväl kommunalt som landstingsstyrd vård och omsorg, kommer många av oss ta hand om äldre familjemedlemmar, släktingar och vänner. Hur kommer detta att påverka oss? Ungefär 20 % av den vuxna befol
