Regions around the world employ cluster-based policies as part of their industrial, innovation and development policy mixes. They have become a key tool in smart specialisation strategies and are increasingly used to address societal challenges. Given their popularity and longevity, there is significant demand to better measure and understand the impacts of cluster policies. Yet the diversity of c
The national plebiscite in Colombia regarding the peace agreement between the government and FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) was held on October 2nd 2016 and was suprisingly won by the No-side with a minimum of votes resulting in a rejection of the current peace deal. Yet, a majority of the Colombian people did not show up at the polls to vote. Less than 40% of the electorates actual
The study develops a panel data framework to highlight the relationship between income inequality and macroeconomic and demographic factors. The macroeconomic variables are selected with regard to previous research and tested for significance. Some proved to be significantly relevant for the final regression and some were excluded. Overall, based on the available data we can show that income inequ
The recent increase in climate warming has further increased the interest of climate policy in the European Union. In order to adapt to the climate change, policies must be implied to guarantee adaptation, and they need to be effective, even if members of the supranational organization have significant economic growth. Therefore, this research will examine what policies EU member nations, Ireland
Challenging the political system by its mere presence, the undocumented migrant has become the political figure of our time. The development of policy on migration and deportation in Sweden and Europe is indicative of our understanding of inclusion and exclusion from our social community. This thesis critically investigates the development of policies regulating undesirable migration in which rein
A literature review of methods where different hazards are combined into a multi-hazard index or method are presented in this report. The purpose of the review is to get an insight into approaches to combine different hazards into a multi-hazard index or method. To directly combine hazards, it is necessary to present them with the same unit of measure. This can be done with different measures for
Popular Abstract in English Oil resources are finite; and political and economic factors affecting oil production,together with the environmental damage associated with the increased use of oil by a rapidly growing population, have underscored the need for developing cleaner technologies based on sustainable resources. In this context, any lignocellulosic biomass that is not used in the food chainThe present work was aimed at developing industrial S. cerevisiae strains with improved tolerance to two types of stressors encountered during the fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass that affect ethanol yield and productivity, namely hydrolysate-derived inhibitors and high temperature, and at understanding the response of yeast and mechanisms of adaptation to such stressors. In one part of the
This thesis examines the relationship between gender equality, demographic change, and economic growth for the context of Sweden, 1870-1990. Large-scale developments changed a society with relatively little gender equality in the late nineteenth century to the egalitarian welfare state that we know today. Using personally-collected data at the Swedish county-level, a measure of gender equality - t
As being digital increasingly becomes a requirement for functioning in society, those who are not as digital increasingly become excluded. This study aims to problematize the Swedish policies surrounding digitalization, and especially those in some way related to digital exclusion. The paper uses a combination of Bacchi’s What’s represented as the problem? methodology and theories on the neolibera
The last few years have seen a rapid expansion within the area of the Internet ofThings (IoT). For many IoT applications, such as asset tracking and distributedsensor networks, the problem of localization (i.e. determining the physical loca-tion of nodes in the network) is fundamental. For such applications, constraintson size, cost, and power consumption often prohibit the use of GPS. This thesis
