It has been situated as one of the most ethical forms of communication, and it is becoming one of the most prominent theories in public relations. However, the concept remains ambiguous, and a link between theory and practice is still lacking. Against this background, this study investigates dialogue initiatives that have been taken wit

Through interviews with elected politicians and observations of council meetings we have studied and analyzed the politicians’ attitudes towards the forced digitized changeover. The digitalization that was forced due to the corona pandemic has been perceived differently and can be linked to the idea of dig
Studien undersöker effekter av social distansering och distansundervisning under COVID-19-pandemin bland universitetsstudenter och gymnasieelever i Sverige och Norge. Studier som genomförts under det senaste året visar att studenter har påverkats negativt av pandemin men det finns ingen jämförande forskning mellan de två till synes liknande länderna. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det fanThe study investigates the effects of social distancing and online education during the COVID-19 pandemic on university students and high school students in Sweden and Norway. Through studies conducted in the last year it appears that students have been negatively affected by the pandemic but there is no comparative research between the two nations.

By studying the process behind two examples of Swedish theatre architecture - Malmö City Theater and the Gothenburg Opera, the defining cultural and political developments of the 20th century can be explored. In the wake of the first world war, processes of democratization and totalitarianism spread throughout Europe. The volksbühne (people’s theater) would quickly find its home in Sweden, manifes
For many years, the United States’ inability to provide basic universal healthcare has been a mystery. Why does the richest country in the world not have the best healthcare and the best health outcomes? This study examines the disposition of US opposition to publicly funded healthcare. It is a qualitative case study comprised of articles from the right-wing media outlet Breitbart News during the

Syfte: Att belysa och sammanställa vilka etiska dilemman som förekommer inom palliativ vård för vuxna p
What drives change and continuity in welfare states? This master thesis contributes to the debate by examining the German cash-benefit “Kosten der Unterkunft und Heizung”. This cash-benefit is a component of the means-tested unemployment benefit II in Germany which was introduced by the Hartz-IV-Reform in 2005. 16 years later the case “Kosten der Unterkunft und Heizung” has undergone no major refo
This study investigates how regional unemployment rates affect two self-reported measures of health: psychological distress and health satisfaction. Employing a panel data fixed effects design, we identify countercyclicality in psychological distress and unclear effects for health satisfaction. The countercyclicality of psychological distress appears to be primarily driven by effects experienced b
I denna abduktiva kvalitativa studie har tolv medarbetare från två sydsvenska kommuner intervjuas för att förstå upplevelser av omställningen från fysiskt kontorsarbete till hemarbete under Coronapandemin, samt hur det har påverkat upplevelsen av medarbetarengagemang i och med den digitaliserade informella kommunikationen.

In the perpetuated absence of wide-ranged aging-related programs in Indonesia, more than one-quarter of the elderly population rely on the family especially adult children, resulting in the prevalence of three-generation households. This research seeks to explain the underlying motive and the practice of caring for the elderly parent from the vantage point of adult children that act as the main su
Power reduction is becoming a critical design requirement for ASIC/SOC designers. Reducing both dynamic and leakage power is essential to meet power budgets for portable devices as well as to ensure that these ASICs meet their packaging and cooling costs. In addition, the power of an ASIC has a significant impact on its reliability and manufacturing yield. Also, low-power has become a leading des
People who desire more-than-one gender are still facing social exclusion as well as exclusion from LGBTQ communities. Moreover, specific bi+ spaces are rare and bisexuals are often not part of them. Where, then, do bisexuals belong? In order to answer this question, this thesis explores the everyday experiences of bi+ people using Relief Maps and in-depth interviews. I build on theories around emo

This study examines Sweden's collection system for waste from small electronic and electrical equipment (sWEEE) and identifies proposals for increased collection rates. Sweden is generally considered at the forefront of managing electrical waste, but the recycling rate of sWEEE in 2008 was only 10-25%. The rest was incorrectly sorted as household waste. It is uncertain where in the world it en
