In the recent decade, European populist radical right parties have gained stronger position in politics, which is seen in both stronger voter support but also in greater legitimacy and increased political influence. However, there are differences between the newer and older member states of the European Union. Among the Eastern countries, who joined the union in 2004 or 2007, there are fewer succe
This thesis identifies a trend of fashion brands engaging in feminist and environmental issues through their business strategy in order to sell products to women. More specifically, it explores the relationship between gender and environmentalism in marketing campaigns within the fashion industry. Through case study research, analysis of fashion advertisement videos and semi-structured interview
Firms operate in an increasingly uncertain world characterized by armed conflict, unstable trade regimes, and shifting environmental regulations. The Swedish manufacturing industry is exposed to these uncertainties through its reliance on export markets, global supply chains, energy-intensive production, and EU sustainability reporting regulation. This thesis explores how perceived uncertainty amo
Title: Empowered on Masculine Terms?

This study investigates changes in nighttime sleep duration in relation to cognitive decline and risk of incident dementia. A total of 3057 participants from the Swedish population study ‘Good Aging in Skåne’ (Mage = 68.4) with normal baseline sleep duration (6–8 h) were followed up to 20 years (Myears = 8.39). Self-reported change was defined as shortened or prolonged if participants lost or gain
Microplastics are pervasive in inland waters, yet large-scale association patterns of abundance and traits remain unclear. Here we compiled a global lake database integrating surface-water and sediment observations with 56 hydroclimatic and anthropogenic indicators. Most hydroclimatic variables show positive associations with abundance in surface waters but act oppositely in sediments. Leading con
Systematic data collection in high-income countries has demonstrated a decreasing burn morbidity and mortality, whereas lack of data from low- and middle-income countries hinders a global overview of burn epidemiology. In low- and middle-income countries, dedicated burn registries are few. Instead, burn data are often recorded in logbooks or as one variable in trauma registries, where incomplete o
High-throughput proteomics, based on the microarray platform, requires stable, highly functional components that will yield a highly sensitive read-out of low, abundance protein. Although antibodies are the best characterized binding molecules for this purpose, only a fraction of them appear to behave satisfactorily in the chip format. Therefore, high demands need to be placed on their molecular d
Trade and development have been widely presented and researched in the international development community, discussing the relevance for using trade as a tool to foster positive development outcomes. Although several benefits have been put forward, trade and development have also been debated and critiqued, continuing to be shaped and framed by a number of actors. The role of business in developme
Given Sweden’s reputation as a frontrunner in sustainable development, its problems of implementing its own environmental strategy is somewhat surprising. In any attempt to mitigate climate change, involving the local level will be absolutely crucial – both in Swedish efforts to achieve its climate policy, and to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. Swedish municipalities are central im
The increasing focus, in recent decades, on regions as the primary actor in economic growth and development has led to tensions concerning the responsibilities for regional development between the regions and the nation states. This essay presents the allocation of responsibility between the region and the state, as a case study of the transport infrastructure planning in the Greater Copenhagen cr
This essay aims to investigate how the Municipality of Ängelholm interprets the concept of sustainable development in the planning process of a new urban area called Stationsområdet and if said area will contribute to the sustainable development of the municipality. The study answers these questions by analyzing documents associated to the planning process of Stationsområdet and conducting intervi
Despite a growing interest in the conflict-disaster nexus, major knowledge gaps persist on operational knowledge and guidance on conflict considerations in disaster risk management programming. The objective of the study was to identify potential pathways for strengthening disaster risk management efforts in fragility-, violence-, and conflict-affected contexts. A collective case study was conduct
The rapid increase of asylum-seekers in 2015 overwhelmed the Greek reception system and led to the creation of numerous refugee camps throughout the country. The Sphere Minimum Standards provide globally acknowledged guidance to design and manage these facilities. They designate risk assessments as an essential tool to guarantee a safe environment for Persons of Concern. Yet, exposure to natural h
Av rättsutredningar framgår att det finns stora likheter mellan den svenska koldioxidskatten och den europeiska handeln med utsläppsrätter. Särskilt deras funktioner som klimatpolitiska åtgärder i syfte att minska utsläpp av koldioxid utgör en gedigen grund för jämförelse, vilken är en utgångspunkt för uppsatsen. När ETS därutöver fyller en finansierande funktion för EU:s långtidsbudget, medan denJudicial inquiries show great similarities between the Swedish carbon tax and the European emission trading system. As important climate policies aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions, they constitute a solid ground for comparison which is an essential part of this thesis. When the purpose of ETS is gradually extended now serving as a budget financing source at an EU level whereas the Swedish
