Youth unemployment in Georgia is severe. In order to bring young people closer to the labour market, the strategy of building vocational education and training (VET) system is actively pursued. However, business engagement in this process is low, impeding the system to provide the skills and knowledge tailored to labour market needs. The purpose of the thesis is to find out the reasons behind the

Body appreciation-unappreciation and body satisfaction-dissatisfaction are in the literature seen as conceptually different, but construct distinction has only been supported using qualitative methods. Because of limits in using Likert-style questionnaires to measure multidimensional constructs, quantitative research has yet to directly demonstrate that it is possible to appreciate the body withou

Since the end of the cold war issues concerning civil preparedness at the municipal level has been slumbering in Sweden. During WWII and the cold war Sweden had an extensive civil preparedness at all political levels. With the absence of the threat of war the civil preparedness in Sweden faded away. Now in a state of awakening the municipalities are starting to heighten the level of civil prepared

The coronavirus was first detected in late 2019 in Wuhan, China and spread rapidly around the world. In 2020, the World Health Organization declared the disease a pandemic. This study examines the impact between the COVID-19 pandemic and Swedish citizens' trust in the state and government agencies. As a consequence of the corona pandemic, drastic measures were taken in order to reduce the spre

Connected to the ongoing global challenges relating to soil fertility loss and food security, there has been a recent upswing of alternative management practices (AMPs) within the agricultural sector. These methods are often focused on maximising soil health by safeguarding the below ground ecosystem and by increasing soil organic content. Consequently, AMPs tend to build resilience towards distur

For well over a century, migration researchers have recognized the lack of adequate distance measures to be a key obstacle for advancing understanding of internal migration. The problem arises from the convention of spatially defining migration as the crossing of administrative borders. Because administrative regions vary in size, shape, and settlement patterns, it is difficult to tell how far mov

Ornamental horticultural plants in domestic gardens can constitute a substantial dispersal pool of potentially invasive species. Understanding garden owners' preferences when selecting plants, their awareness of dispersal pathways and how they manage their gardens is critical for effective invasive species control. This study used a survey to investigate Swedish garden owners' (n = 743) plant sele

With global politics increasingly fractured, states are rushing to secure critical and strategic mineral supply chains. Each state conceptualizes mineral security differently, driven by a mix of imperatives that range from national development and industrial policy to technological and military dominance. Great power competition pervades all of these issue areas, and that competition may also pose

The Arctic-Boreal region is projected to experience spatially divergent trends in snow depth following climate change. However, the impact of these spatial trends has remained largely unexplored, despite potentially large consequences for the carbon cycle. To address this knowledge gap, we forced a customised arctic version of the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS with daily CMIP6 outputs from a

In 1963 the legislation on liquidation of entailed estates entered into force to liquidate the existing Swedish entailed estates. The entailed estates are to be liquidated when the last proprietor decease in accordance with Paragraph 3 of the legislation. Despite the principle rule, there is an exception in which an entailed estate doesn’t have to liquidate if it has an exceptional cultural value

Professional roles are converging as it becomes usual for journalists to be recruited as communicators, and ”change side” from reviewing information to carry information. Communication departments use journalistic methods and speak of themself as an editorial rather than a communication department (x).Second, research of interconnections between mass media and work of organizations’ communication

The aim of the article is to explore trade unions’ use of Internet and social media in communicating with members and to understand membership in the digital era. A point of departure is that new forms of relationships between individuals and organizations are on the rise as our present societies become more digitalized, which has changed how citizens interact, mobilize, and organize. Digitalizati
