Introduction: High vaccine uptake was crucial in preventing morbidity and mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study aimed to investigate barriers and drivers of vaccination in Sweden across birth region groups with varying COVID-19 vaccine uptake.Methods: A cross-sectional anonymous survey was distributed non-randomly among individuals born in Sweden and immigrants from Western and non-Wes
Alternating marine inflow and continental outflow make southern Sweden a suitable region for investigating natural and anthropogenic contributions to background particulate matter (PM). However, interpreting dust and marine aerosol sources remains challenging because their source signatures often overlap during atmospheric transport. This study investigated aerosol sources at the Vavihill and Hylt
Low barriers to trade and access to international capital markets have long been argued to improve economic conditions in a country. However, there is less consensus on the impact of economic globalization on the distribution of those gains across society. There are several possible explanations for the conflicting findings in the existing literature, perhaps most notably endogeneity issues that p

Birds start to sing and more and more intensively and people in general seem to have stuff that need to be don right here and right now. Do not forget to take time once in a while to appreciate smalle

Meeting international climate goals require a major reallocation of global investment portfolios. However, in 2016, 74%. of all assets under management were still socially and environmentally unchecked. Research has started to address how finance can support the low-carbon transition, but little is known about how the financial sector itself perceives this transition. This thesis seeks to 1) ident
Food with inputs from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has met considerable skepticism among European Union (EU) consumers. The EU import ban on GM food has triggered a great deal of controversy and has been partly replaced by a mandatory labeling scheme. Although there is no measure in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade that directly addresses the use of product labeling, WTO and oth
Manifold learning and nonlinear dimensionality reduction addresses the problem of detecting possibly nonlinear structure in highdimensional data and constructing lower-dimensional configurations representative of this structure. A popular example is the Isomap algorithm which uses local information to approximate geodesic distances and adopts multidimensional scaling to produce lowerdimensional re
Nowadays importance of water balance regarding measurements and water cycle pathways are of prime interest in a new perspective. Global issues, like Earth warming, or regional planned uses of water, e.g. irrigation, demand an increase in accuracy and coverage of different components of the water balance. Precipitation and the water loss from vegetation and soil, called Evapotranspiration (ET), are
Can human rights education be used to implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in the education system of developing countries? Can this be a way to advance child rights not only at school but also in the rest of the community? How could human rights training be used to implement the CRC's holistic approach at the global and domestic levels? These are just some of the question
Oil extraction in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria has long resulted in environmental degradation and social inequalities. While multinational oil companies and the Nigerian Federal Government benefit financially from oil extraction, local communities in the region suffer from widespread pollution that impedes on their ability to practice livelihoods and earn an income. Consequently, militant gro
In recent years the focus on indigenous peoples’ self-determination has been increasing. However, the debate on how to achieve this is rather divided. This study examines whether Slowey’s (2008) theoretical assumption, that market-inclusion leads to increased self-determination, holds in a different context. In the study, the theory is applied to indigenous peoples’ market-inclusion through intell
Fossil fuels subsidies are intervention policies by governments to keep energy prices lower than the market price which leads to an increase in energy consumptions and GHG emissions. Iran provides the largest amount of fossil fuels consumption subsidies in the world, but it implemented the Targeted Subsidies Act to reform its subsidies and increase energy carriers’ end-user prices. This thesis inv
Coffee production systems are experiencing climate change stress in a multitude of ways. One of the ways in which climate change manifests itself in coffee systems is through the evolution of pest and disease populations. Global coffee production is thereby recognized as vulnerable to climate change, particularly the lives of those that rely on coffee for their livelihoods. Reducing vulnerability
Handel och resande är en förutsättning för internationellt utbyte av såväl varor och människor som kultur och innovationer. Handeln och resandet går tillbaka till historiens gryning men har under de senaste århundradena blivit en allt viktigare del i den ekonomiska utvecklingen. Globaliseringen har till följd av tilltagande ekonomiskoch politisk integration drivit på utvecklingen av resandet och s
Study design: Cross-sectional and longitudinal. Objectives: To (i) describe health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and changes over 6 years in older adults aging with long-term spinal cord injury (SCI) and (ii) investigate how changes in HRQoL are associated with age, gender, and injury characteristics. Setting: Community in southern Sweden. Methods: From the initial 123 participants (years 2011–2
