Under 1980-talet formulerades den officiella målsättningen ’ett narkotikafritt samhälle’. Samtidigt riktades det straffrättsliga fokuset mot konsumenterna och under 1993 infördes fängelse i straffskalan för eget bruk av narkotika. Idag lider Sverige av en hög narkotikarelaterad dödlighet såväl som omfattande problem med den organiserade brottsligheten. Under mars 2022 tillsatte regeringen en utred

Detta examensarbetes huvudsyfte var att jämföra säkerhetsfaktorerna för den svenska och den danska beräkningsmetodiken i markförhållanden sand och lera ovanpå moränlera. Den verkliga bärförmågan i markförhållandena togs fram genom CAPWAP-mätningar. Säkerhetsfaktorn med den svenska beräkningsmetodiken blev 2.7 och säkerhetsfaktorn med den danska beräkningsmetodiken blev 1.3. Detta visar att den sve

Current levels and patterns of consumption in affluent societies are highly unsustainable. Research shows that efficiency measures prove insufficient to keep within the planetary boundaries, as they operate within the same consumption paradigm. In response, the sufficiency approach has been put forward, which strives to reduce consumption levels in absolute terms. A growing awareness of the impact

The aim of this thesis is to investigate how journalists at Lilla Aktuellt and Juniornyheterna are influenced by their news audience, primarily children and youths, on Tiktok. Both editorials work on behalf of Swedish public service, which means they have to report objectively and impartially. Previous research has shown that public service organizations must reassess what it means to be of public

Mitt i naturen i Blekinges skärgård, på kanten mellan skog och hav är mitt destinationsprojekt lokaliserat. Intentionen med arbetet är att visa upp Blekinges kvaliteter, att skapa en plats för återhämtning, kreativt skapande och möten mellan människor. Platsen jag valt för mitt projekt ligger i Ronneby, där jag kommer från, och har givit mig mycket energi och andrum genom åren. Naturens variation

This thesis explores the extent to which the Southern Transitional Council (STC) in Yemen has manifested itself as a partner of the Arab coalition and its aspirations to take the lead in regional and international politics and conflict resolution through the Yemen crisis. It also uses Qualitative Content Analysis to analyze fourteen interviews with key stakeholders and experts from various politic

This study aimed to determine the optimal method for extracting rosmarinic acid (RA) from lemon balm using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE). Additionally, the effect of filtration during sample preparation on the concentration of rosmarinic acid (RA) was investigated. Moreover, the RA content was compared in various lemon balm samples including: commercial dried lemon balm, commercial lemon bal

Hospitals have been a crucial element of healthcare for centuries, providing a space for diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. The design of hospitals has evolved dramatically throughout history, with significant changes in both the form and function of these institutions. Ancient hospitals were closely connected to nature, with an emphasis on the role of surroundings in the healing process. However

Allmänt känt är att världens regnskogar bidrar till flertalet ekosystemtjänster som hjälper till att upprätthålla förutsättningarna för liv på jorden och som vi människor kan dra nytta av. Den höga och välutvecklade biologiska mångfald som dessa skogar inrymmer är att tacka för detta. Rwanda, ett litet land beläget i den östra delen av Afrikas tropiska zon, har under det senaste seklet varit objekRainforests are of great importance for biodiversity and several ecosystem services. In Rwanda, a considerable decline in rainforest covers have been observed during the last decades. The Gishwati-Mukura Forest is one of the rainforests in Rwanda that has experienced a substantial reduction in forest cover, 99.4 %. The aim of this research has been to investigate what the changes in forest cover o

Godstransporter är livsviktiga för att en stad och stadslivet ska fungera, men sättet som godstransporter genomförs idag är inte hållbart. Det finns få riktlinjer på hur transporterna ska ske och riskfyllda situationer uppstod. Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka problem i bilfria områden i centrumnära stadsmiljö, samt att komma med rekommendationer på hur det kan utvecklas utifrån dagens Urban freight transportation is crucial for the functioning of a city and city life. However, the way urban freight transportation is occurring is unsustainable since there are few regulations and dangerous situations easily arise. The purpose of the thesis was to examine transportation in car-free areas and identify the associated problems, guidelines and explore potential solutions to the identi

Intermarriage patterns are often referred to as a step in the social assimilation. However, previous research on is ambiguous in its result concerning differences in intermarriage pattern between genders. According to the theory intermarriage patterns are both influences by preferences and opportunities. This thesis conducts a conditional fixed effects logistic regression to analyses the intermarr

This thesis investigates: 1) how the Hanfu is presented in videos on social media by young Chinese women and how the netizens respond to it, and 2) in what way the Hanfu Movement might be contributing to the legitimization of the Chinese government’s nationalism in Post-2013. Post-2013 China uses ancient Chinese culture to strengthen the country through national unity and the removal of Westerniza

Offentlig upphandling är en inköpsprocess av nyttjas av offentliga verksamheter såsom myndigheter och kommuner. Årligen spenderar Sverige ca 800 miljarder kronor via offentliga upphandlingar, vilket har en stor inverkan på miljön då dessa kontrakt ofta följer den linjära ekonomiska modellen, slit- och släng samhället. Begreppen cirkularitet och cirkulär ekonomi är relativt nya koncept som har de sThe EU procured for roughly 202000 MEUR (14% of the EU GDP) during 2021 in the public sector. The majority of these contracts are traditional, linear business model purchases. The EU has been developing several strategies, guidelines, and policies for sustainable purchasing, with Circular Public Procurement for a Circular Economy (CE) being one of them, but the implementation rate is low. Electron

In this thesis I aimed to answer the question of how American combat veterans from World War II created their personal narratives of their experiences. The main theoretical framework was Samuel Hynes' work about war narratives and personal narratives. I used two theoretical perspectives that to answer this research question where the first perspective was for emotional factors, which was focus

Har du någonsin funderat på vad något är värt för dig? När du går i affären har du kanske jämfört kilopriser på olika livsmedel, visst är det hjälpsamt att kunna jämföra vilket som är ett bättre val för dig. Detta är vad en miljöekonomisk analys försöker göra med två olika skogsbruksmetoder. I den här kostnadsnyttoanalysen så jämförs hyggesfritt skogsbruk med det vanligare systemet, trakthyggesbruForests and forest products are important, not just for timber production, the forest ecosystem plays several important roles, such as water purification, carbon sequestration for climate mitigation and recreational values. How the forests are managed varies throughout the globe, in Sweden the most used system is the clearcutting system (CF), however continuous cover forestry (CCF) is gaining popu

This paper aims to analyze the impact of grandparents' childcare on mothers' employment status and working hours in China. Based on the cross-sectional data of China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) in 2020, this paper uses the Probit and the OLS models to study married women aged 20-50 with at least one child aged 0-6. The empirical results show that grandparents' childcare increases the p

Language-based assessment (LBA) from open questions (e.g., how are you feeling?) analysed with natural language processing has predicted corresponding rating scales scores towards the theoretical upper limits. However, rating scales do not hold objective truth regarding psychological constructs. Therefore, the present pre-registered study set out to further validate LBA in a natural setting. Using

There is a need to transform the urban mobility regime to mitigate climate change and improve living quality in cities. Cargo bikes (CBs) offer a promising solution to replace motorized vehicles, especially for last-mile deliveries and private logistics. They show considerably lower carbon intensity, occupy less space and help reduce air and noise pollution in cities. CB sharing relieves individua
