This thesis explores the impact of community and individual shocks on children’s time use and aims to determine if and under what conditions households use child labor as a response to shocks. For this purpose, four survey rounds of a panel of Ethiopian children aged 5 to 15 are analysed. To address endogeneity problems and to overcome issues related to the data acquisition process, both a fixed e

Equality between men and women in American society has been an ongoing struggle and debate for centuries. In some ways, the societal position of women has improved, e.g., in terms of gaining access to the labor market. Yet, despite significant changes regarding gender roles and norms, along with an increased necessity of double-income households, old ideals of gender roles and family structures

This research aims to study the energy efficiency of the Chilean industry sector using decomposition analysis methods to understand energy intensity decoupling from economic output. The study focuses on the industry sector, the biggest energy consumer, and utilises a dataset that specifies subindustries' energy consumption and economic contribution to GDP. The results suggest that, for the sub

In this thesis, a Glauber Monte-Carlo event generator is developed and used to analyze proton-Ion (p -$^{63}$Cu and p -$^{197}$Au) and Ion-Ion ($^{63}$Cu -$^{63}$Cu and $^{197}$Au -$^{197}$Au) collisions. Three different sub-collision models are implemented, the black disk, grey disk and oscillating grey disk models, and their validity is compared. The predicted nucleon-nucleon cross-sections by t

Research regarding remittances and development has long been plagued by a gender-neutral approach. Consideration is rarely given to why female migrants remit differently. Prior research suggests that female remitters may experience increased burdens and pressure to remit. Media effects theories dictate that the ways in which media is disseminated and consumed has societal impacts and consequences.

We provide an introduction to Banach Algebras and C*-algebras. The discussion of C*-algebras leads to the two central theorems of this thesis: Gelfand Duality & the Gelfand-Naimark-Segal (GNS) Theorem. The latter tells us that every C*-algebra may be treated as some (special) subalgebra of bounded endomorphisms of a C-Hilbert space, while the former tells us that every commutative C*-algebra c

Abstract Over the past decade, refugee movements have had an increasing impact on Europe and the topic has dominated both political and news media discourse. During this time, portrayals of refugees have varied from victims to threats. The media, as an institution of control and communication, has the power of shaping the public’s views and discussions regarding the refugees. It also has the abi

This research examines how consideration of place attachment and community values can inform the development and implementation of fair and equitable climate change adaptation (CCA) practices in the Australian local government context. The research adopts a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews with expert interviewees and reflective thematic analysis to answer three research ques

The seventeen sustainable development goals are the response of the United Nations to make efforts for economic growth, social development, and environmental conservation. International organizations, governments, and the private sector play a fundamental role to achieve the 2030 Agenda of sustainable development. The demand for financial sources brings attention to foreign investment as a source

Att ta en spruta kan vara en obehaglig upplevelse för många. Blir man diagnostiserad med exempelvis diabetes innebär detta i de flesta fall att man har en livslång resa framför sig med daglig tillförsel av insulin. Men vad är det egentligen som gör att man inte kan få sitt insulin via ett piller istället för en spruta och är det möjligt att ta inspiration från den traditionella sprutan för att desThis study investigates the manufacturing and application of enteric polymeric microneedles loaded with active pharmaceutical ingredients and combined with photoresponsive dyes used for micromotor motion. The aim is to present an alternative method for orally delivering macromolecules. Although needle fear among patients has led to investigations into alternative routes of administration for macro

This study examines the intergenerational educational mobility among immigrants and natives in Germany. Three regression models are estimated to investigate potential differences in the transmission of human capital from parents to their children between immigrants and natives. First, a linear regression model is used to assess the strength of the association between parental and individual educat

This thesis aims to analyse the relationships between key stakeholders in the process of developing and implementing an urban strategy using the example of the Sustainable Urban Development Strategy of the City of Saint Petersburg. This thesis is based on theories related to involving public participation in the planning and implementation of the city strategy and the options and perspectives of p

Min uppsats har utgått ifrån intervjuer av personer som växlat ner i lönearbete för att söka svar i vad som gör nedväxling meningsfullt. Nedväxling innebär att växla ner i tid från lönearbetet för att få mer fritid. Arbete kan vara en faktor för självförverkligande och autonomi, men det kan också vara en källa för alienation. I ett samhälle som ställer höga krav på produktivitet och effektivitet t

Detta är en litteraturstudie som analyserar diskursen av utmattningssyndrom i Sverige och Japan. Studien ägnar sig åt att besvara varför definitionen skiljer sig i dessa länder, om de ens skiljer sig åt och hur diskursen ser ut i dessa två länder. Utmattningssyndrom är ett fenomen som har varit omtalat sedan 1970-talet men inte har haft en fast definition eller diagnoskriterier vilket har försvåra

This paper aims at investigating the determinants of female farmers access to Agrarian Extension Services in Ethiopia, where extension services represent a critical tool for the development of the agrarian sector. Despite the country’s efforts to develop a gender-responsive extension system, several bottlenecks are negatively driving down women’s access to these services. By reviewing previous

Contemporary English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms in upper secondary schools in Sweden make frequent use of receptive media such as movies and television to facilitate language learning. The more interactive medium of video games is seldom used for the same purpose, despite previous research indicating that the added layer of interactivity can bring benefits such as improvements to vocab
