We are currently living in the information age. Our social media news feeds are constantly filled with updates from our friends and family, but also with news and findings from all around the world.

Interviews were conducted with coordinators from each city, whose area of

Syfte: Studien har två syften, varav det första är att bidra med kunskap om kontextens roll i hur orienteringen mot ett aktieägarvärde påverkar beteendet i icke-finansiella företag. Det andra syftet är att bidra till utvecklingen av teoretiska modeller som förklarar hur och varför en beteendeförändring skulle uppstå. Metod: Studien tillämpade en kvantitativ metod med deduktiv ansats. Independent Purpose: The study has two purposes, of which the first purpose is to contribute with knowledge about the role of the context in how the orientation towards a shareholder value affects the behavior in non-financial corporations. The second purpose is to contribute to the development of theoretical models that aim to explain how and why a behavioral change would occur. Methodology: The study applie

The purpose of the study is to examine how the European Green Deal shapes and constrains what is considered possible and desirable in order to tackle the climate crisis.

Jordan is a nation marked by an everchanging growing population primarily derived from its geographical position and relative political stability compared to its neighbouring countries, making it one of the primary recipients of refugees in the region. Population increases were marked by a vast boost in the number of disabled individuals in the country, especially individuals of working age, to th

The Missing Middle describes a phenomenon and a movement to fill a gap in the housing choices offered in many North American cities. Although proponents of the movement state that Missing Middle forms can seamlessly replace single-family housing in existing neighbourhoods, a paradigm shift in Vancouver’s housing supply presents an opportunity to restructure its public spaces and services in tandem

Education is one of the key components in developing identity, personality and a sense of belonging in the time of peace. But when weaponized by the states as a tool of indoctrination, education becomes a highly effective instrument of war, contrary to the relevant rules prescribed by the international humanitarian and international human rights law. This weaponization of education was widely empl

We predictably believe that immense natural resources would generate large revenues and wealth within a country. Nevertheless, a lot of evidences show the contrary. Empirical studies find that resource abundance, economic collapse, civil wars, and political instability are well correlated. This indeed creates a complex puzzle as to why natural blessing has not always brought wealth in most resourc

In other words: How can rhetoric be used as a community- and identitybuilding resource to reduce the distance

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol, which allows industrialised countries that have binding emission targets to invest in emission reduction projects in non-industrialised countries. These CDM investments generate certified emission reductions (CERs), which can be used by the industrialised countries towards meeting their own targets. The dual objective o
