The Danish asylum system has experienced radical changes during 2019 in regards to asylum and refugee rights with the right-wing governing coalition’s introduction of Act 140. Central to Act 140 is the repatriation philosophy that is carried out in practice with an increased focus on temporary residency of refugees within the Danish asylum system as opposed to permanency. Thus, social integration

Against the backdrop of universality proposals claiming that all the world’s languages share the way they conceptualise and express THINKING, this study investigates verbs of thinking in German and Swedish in a comparative perspective. In particular, it examines semantic specificity in verbs of thinking (the restricted availability of only one specific verb in a certain context), and the potential

This essay explores the traditional elite of Sweden - the nobility, and how a social and traditional privilege reproduces in a modern western society. The House of Nobility in Sweden – Riddarhuset - gives their members a sense of identity, historical anchorage in present time and an economic advantage. During an interview, a noble man from present-time shares his view on the traditional way of liv

Triple-win projects have been failing in Sub-Saharan Africa. The top-down approach of policymakers and donors lead to the priorities of local stakeholders not being accounted for which in turn leads to trade-offs. Instead of disregarding triple-wins, researchers have suggested they could be used as building blocks in the emerging pathways literature, therefore accounting for a broader set of goals

5G supports enormous increase in data rate. Massive antenna beamforming is expected to play a key role in increasing capacity in case of multi-user MIMO and coverage in case of single-user MIMO. The large number of antennas in massive MIMO system will lead to enormous amount of channel state information being stored in the memory and this necessitates the use of compression techniques for efficien

When an internet user opens a web page containing an advertising slot, how is it determined which ad is shown? Today, the most common software-based approach to trading advertising slots is real time bidding: as soon as the user begins to load the web page, an auction for the slot is held in real time, and the highest bidder gets to display their advertisement of choice. Auction bidding is perform

Förhöjda halter koldioxid! Hur dåligt är det egentligen? Inledning: Flera forskare har i egna studier kommit fram till att koldioxid har en negativ effekt på hälsa och prestation. Vår atmosfär är en av faktorerna som gör att vi kan leva här på jorden. Atmosfären består till stor del av kväve (78%) och syre (21%) och lite över en procent andra gaser. Bland dessa gaser förekommer koldioxid. KoldioThis study’s purpose was to try and study whether Carbon Dioxide in indoor environments (schools and offices) affect performance and health in students and office workers in terms of mental effects and Sick Building Syndrome. This study was executed as a literary study where eight different scientific articles were analysed and compared to see if their results are comparable with each other and sh

Bakgrund: ​Några av de viktigaste aspekterna att ta hänsyn till i vår nutid är att konsumera hållbart och minska mängden avfall vi efterlämnar. En del enskilda individer har börjat ta aktivt ansvar för sin egna miljöpåverkan och sociala medier har visat sig vara ett viktigt verktyg i att engagera sig i hållbarhet. Detta för att nå ut till andra, engagera dem, sprida medvetenhet och kommunicera medBackground: ​Some of the most important aspects to take into account in our present time are to consume sustainably and reduce the amount of waste we leave behind. Some individuals have begun to take active responsibility for their own environmental impact and social media has proved to be an important tool in engaging in sustainability to reach out to others and engage them, spread awareness and

There are many possible sources for anthropological research, however, this thesis examines tourists' comments on internet forums. In particular, tourist comments on the TripAdvisor page of the Kumari Chowk in Kathmandu, Nepal will be examined. These reviews will be divided into trends in order to consider the reason why tourist decides to visit the Kumari Chowk. This will be done in the light

The growing complexity of the concept of gender highlights the importance for a deeper understanding of the diversity underlying this construct. Recent studies have shown large numbers of individuals experiencing non-conforming feelings with their sex assigned at birth, emphasising the need to gain a better understanding of gender identities outside the binary system, one of these being non-binary

Med en allt hårdare konkurrens på den svenska betaltjänstemarknaden har det blivit viktigare för tjänsteleverantörerna att försöka tillgodose konsumentens behov och krav. Den ökade konkurrensen bland e- handelsföretag har gjort att företagen är beroende av att det ska gå snabbt och enkelt för kunden att göra sin betalning, annars är risken stor att kunden avbryter köpet. Företagen måste därför utv

Background: The fashion industry is one of the world’s largest and most creative sectors in the retail industry, but also one of the most polluting industries globally. More and more clothes are produced than it is needed, and this has been a usual process in the fashion industry to meet consumers’ needs. Consumers can also be responsible for the environmental degradation, even though most of the

Abstract Today, the reproduction of the spaces is mostly realized through urban transformation processes. These processes are in evidence around all over the world. Urban transformation is an ambiguous umbrella definition that includes different actors, different processes and different fields. Beyond spatial changes, these transformations also affect social relationships and networks, which are v

In Haiti, the apparel industry is considered a key sector for driving economic growth, reducing poverty and improving living conditions through employment. Thereby, participation in Global Value Chains (GVCs) is essential for the country’s development plan. The apparel industry is a significant source of employment and income generation, especially for women. Notwithstanding, women workers are oft

This study aims to examine how local governments originated from the global South, through Urban Food System Strategies (UFSS), are realizing global sustainability priorities as outlined by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study is based on the policy analysis of three Latin American UFSS, with the aim to detect synergies and connections between the UFSS and the SDGs. The primary c

Under de senaste årtionden har riksdagsledamöter och regeringen vid olika tillfällen problematiserat användningen av begreppet ”ras” om människor i den svenska författningssamlingen. Med hjälp av Bacchis poststrukturella policyanalys syftar denna undersökning till att söka svar på hur begreppet ”ras” konstrueras och begripliggörs i policytexter och hur begreppet problematiseras i den politiska vok

In September 2015, in the aftermath of the European refugee crisis, the European Union made a decision regarding a relocation program to move refugees from Italy and Greece to other member states. Poland voted in favor of the decision, but then didn’t follow through their obligations. The purpose of this paper is to study Poland's decision not to participate in the relocation program and to un

This essay aims to examine the relationship between ageing populations and political development. Former studies have shown a strong correlation between the change of individual values and life progression but have yet to determine whether or not this can be applied on a structural scale. By applying Schwartz value theory on the parties in the Swedish parliament, each party was a assigned an index

This thesis departs from the pressing need for deepening the understanding of the emotional appeal of populism. Focusing on the case of populist party SYRIZA’s rise to government power, it argues that mainstream literature fails to grasp the efficacy and resonance of populist discourse due to its general neglect of the role of affect and subjectivity. In accounting for the impact of populism, this
