Amidst a surge in global demand for materials driving the green transition, this thesis investigates how policymakers can best ensure sound environmental performance in the Swedish mining industry following unexpected mine closures. Current Swedish financial assurance mechanisms, intended to operationalize the Polluter Pays Principle, are hampered by unclear criteria and a focus on individual site
Denna uppsats undersöker de levda erfarenheterna hos japanska migranter i Sverige, en grupp som omfattar cirka 4 600 individer, varav nästan 80 procent har valt att permanent bosätta sig i Sverige. De återstående 20 procenten är tillfälliga invånare, som studenter, forskare eller utstationerade chefer, verksamma i något av de cirka 200 japanskägda företagen i landet. Till skillnad från andra europThis thesis explores the lived experiences of Japanese migrants to Sweden, a demographic that includes approximately 4,600 individuals, of whom nearly 80 percent chose to settle permanently in Sweden. The remaining 20 percent are temporary residents, as students, researchers, or as expatriate managers, working in one of the roughly 200 Japanese-owned companies in the country. In contrast to other
The global industrial sector is a highly polluting and greenhouse gas-emitting sector. As industries increasingly explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance operational efficiency and drive innovation, questions emerge regarding its alignment with sustainability objectives. While AI is often positioned as a key enabler of digital transformation, its sustainable integration into industrial ope
We live in an increasingly individualistic society where involuntary loneliness, especially among older adults, has become a growing issue. In Sweden, where single-person households are common, many seniors, particularly those over 65 who live alone, report feeling lonely. At the same time, children are growing up with limited contact with older generations, as everyday interactions between age gr
In recent memory the question of climate change has been at the forefront of a great deal of debates at the international level and with the Paris Agreement and the continuation of COP-meetings in the future, the preoccupation with climate change is sure to continue and to involve many different actors. The question of how a state such as Denmark, traditionally known as a state dedicated to fighti
Möjligheterna för att kränka och förtala andra har ökat väsentligt i och med internets utveckling under 2000-talet. Idag kan ett uttalande eller en integritetskränkande bild spridas över hela världen på bara några sekunder och möjligheterna att ”ta bort” sådana uttalanden har därigenom förändrats. Denna uppsats syfte är att granska det svenska straffrättsliga skyddet mot näthat och undersöka omThe evolvement of the communications technology during the 21st century has created novel ways in which people can harm others. Today a statement or an intimate visual recording can be spread globally in just a few seconds and the possibility to remove such information has thus changed. The objective of this paper is to review the Swedish criminal protection against cyber harassment and exami
Sweden has no legislated regulation for lobbying, but there is a huge on going discussion about the benefits and disadvantages with lobbying related to democratic values. This essay is studying parliamentary bills from 2000-2015, which has been raised in the question and the essay is embracing a democratic view where Robert Dahl’s theory about democracy is used as a foundation to the ideal types o
The genetics underlying bird migration have been the subject of several studies. Two willow warbler subspecies (Phylloscopus trochilus trochilus and Phylloscopus trochilus acredula) follow different routes during their winter migration to Africa. Their breeding territories overlap in a contact area or “migratory divide” across central Scandinavia and to the east of the Baltic sea. Previous genome-
Kampen mellan dyngbaggens solkompass och vindkompassen Att kunna orientera utifrån sin omgivning är viktigt för många djur över hela djurriket, inte minst för insekter. Hos dyngbaggar, vars föda är dynga, utförs en typ av orientering för att undvika konkurrens om mat; bibehållande av en rak kurs. När en dyngbagge har hittat en färsk dynghög formar den en boll av avföringen och rullar sedan iväg mThe ability to orient requires reliable cue information, and the primary cue used in straight-line orientation by the diurnal dung beetle Kheper lamarcki is the sun. It is previously known that the orientation precision of the dung beetle decreases at high solar elevations compared to lower elevations. In this study, the reliability of the sun compass was investigated in detail by testing the orie
Varför väljer de svenska onoterade företag i denna studie att redovisa enligt K3 eller IFRS? Vilka är anledningarna och kan de ge vägledning och en förklaring till huruvida något av redovisningsregelverk är att föredra för onoterade företag? Studiens syfte är att undersöka vilka anledningar är till att utvalda svenska onoterade företag väljer att redovisa enligt K3 eller IFRS. Utan att generaliser
Den svenska polisen har befogenhet och skyldighet att upprätthålla allmän ordning och säkerhet i Sverige. För att uppnå detta mål har polisen blivit tilldelad olika maktbefogenheter. Det faktum att en myndighet får i uppgift att upprätthålla allmän ordning är dock förknippat med ett antal risker. Befogenheter kan misstolkas och fördomar kan påverka den enskilde polisens handlande. I den här teorThe Swedish police have the authority and the obligation to maintain public order in the Swedish state. To fulfill this objective the Swedish police have been granted different powers and coercive techniques. The fact that a public authority is given this task is however associated with a number of risks. The law can be misinterpreted, and bias can influence the actions of the individual police of
In July 2021, single-use plastics will be banned from the European market, meaning that the plastic straws used with Tetra Pak’s portion packs will no longer be permitted. Therefore, Tetra Pak develops new straws, and it is important to test their functionality, something that previously has been done with panel tests. However, Tetra Pak has requested to aid the development process by minimizing t
Häktning är ett av statens mest ingripande straffprocessuella tvångsmedel. Det är en väsentlig förutsättning för effektiv brottsbekämpning och lagföring men också ett stort ingrepp i den enskildes fri- och rättigheter. Sverige och Norge har återkommande kritiserats såväl internationellt som nationellt för bl.a. långa häktningstider och för att bemöta kritiken har en maxgräns för häktning föreslagiPre-trial detention is a sometimes necessary coercive measure for criminal investigation and law enforcement but also an intrusion in one’s rights and freedoms. The use of detention and lengthy detention periods in Sweden and Norway has been subject of international and national criticism. Due to the criticism, both the Swedish and Norwegian governments have suggested bills regarding a maximum len
Framväxten av artificiell intelligens (AI) har medfört ett flertal utmaningar för det upphovsrättsliga regelverket. Det befintliga upphovsrättsliga regelverket ger skydd åt verk som skapats av en människa. Samtidigt har framstegen inom AI och den djupa maskininlärningen möjliggjort att AI-system genererar alster i form av litteratur, musik och bilder, som traditionellt har hört till människans domThe emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) poses a number of challenges to copyright law. The existing copyright regulations provide protection for works created by human beings. At the same time, advances in AI and deep machine learning have enabled AI systems to generate creations of literature, music and images, which are traditionally associated with the human domain. The thesis investigat
Museums today try to combat the exclusionary ground on which they were founded, with strategies of broader inclusion. In Århus, Denmark the Women’s museums vision is to be a museum for ”all genders”. In this thesis I investigate the approach to gender in the Women’s museum’s exhibition Køn Redelighed (eng. Gender Blender) (2017-2022), through a queer theoretic lense of gender as a hybrid and discu
Language is a social act and the fact that social communities create new or change existing words that are known in daily standard language, can make the lexicon difficult to comprehend for the ones not involved. The communication that belong to a specific social group can be classified as a jargon, and in this present study we look at gaming language as an example of how social communities’ lexic
Using van Dijks’ critical discourse analysis as a theoretical and methodological point of departure, this paper strives to analyze the ways in which gang-related crime is illustrated in the Swedish media. This study seeks to outline how the media portrays the problems, causes and proposed solutions of gang-related crime. This thesis is descriptive in nature, and does not intend to argue or investi
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka gränsdragningen mellan tvångslagstiftningarna LPT (lag (1991:1128) om psykiatrisk tvångsvård)) respektive LVU (lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga)), för att se i vilken utsträckning gällande reglering ger ett heltäckande skydd för ungdomar med psykisk problematik. I uppsatsen undersöks, med traditionell rättsvetenskaplig metod, vad soThe purpose of this essay is to investigate the distinction between the coercive laws LPT (Compulsory Psychiatric Care Act (1992:1128)) and LVU (Care of Young Persons Act (1990:52)) in order to see to what extent the current regulations provide comprehensive protection for young people with mental health difficulties. What is considered "serious mental disorder" (3 § LPT), and "soci
