In light of global patterns of youth disengagement from farming, agri-entrepreneurship emerges as an opportunity for youth to reconnect with agriculture. This research investigates the experiences of young agri-entrepreneurs in Nepal. Embedded in a context of youthunemployment, migration, and the recent Gen Z movement, this study focuses on Nepali youth who exert agency through developing agri-bus
Sweden has long been described as a norms-driven and solidaric leader within international development, historically committed to poverty reduction and non-self-seeking aid. The new policy document, the Reform Agenda ‘Development Assistance for a New Era – Freedom, Empowerment and Sustainable Growth’, introduced in December 2023, signals a reorientation of Swedish aid. It places development cooper
This thesis investigates how the right-wing populist German Party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) presented and framed German development cooperation on the social media platform Facebook during the 20th legislative period (2021-2025). Over the last decades, social media has become an increasingly important tool of political communication and information source for the public. Thus, this study a
This thesis explores how climate-related environmental changes intensify women’s unpaid care work in southwestern coastal Bangladesh and examines how women simultaneously experience vulnerability and agency within these everyday experiences.

År 1993 antogs rådets direktiv 93/13/EEG av den 5 april 1993 om oskäliga villkor i konsumentavtal i syfte att stärka konsumentskyddet och öka harmoniseringen mellan medlemsstaternas avtalsregleringar. Enligt artikel 3.1 i direktivet ska ett avtalsvillkor anses oskäligt om det i strid med kravet på god sed medför en betydande obalans i parternas rättigheter och skyldigheter till nackdel för konsumeIn 1993, Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts, was adopted with the aim of strengthening consumer protection and enhancing the harmonisation of contract law among Member States. According to Article 3(1) of the Directive, a contractual term shall be regarded as unfair if, contrary to the requirement of good faith, it causes a significant imbalance in th
Brottsbekämpande myndigheter använder sig ibland av okonventionella utredningsmetoder för att tillmötesgå en alltmer komplex brottslighet. Ett exempel på en sådan metod är användningen av provokativa åtgärder, som innefattar hemliga utredningsåtgärder eller brottsprovokationer. Ur ett effektivitetsperspektiv är det obestridligt att tendenser i brottsutvecklingen nödvändiggör mer sofistikerade arbeLaw enforcement authorities occasionally employ unconventional investigative techniques in response to increasingly complex forms of criminality. One such technique is the use of covert and provocative measures, including undercover operations and police incitement. From one standpoint of effectiveness, it is indisputable that developments in criminal activity necessitate increasingly sophisticate
Uppsatsen berör hur bevisvärderingen och resultatet av denna uttrycks i domskälen i avgöranden från kammarrätter och förvaltningsrätten i mål gäl-lande skattetillägg och mervärdesskatt, och vilka konsekvenser detta har för rättssäkerheten för den enskilde. Uppsatsen grundar sig på den senaste tidens kritik mot Skatteverket och skatteprocessen som bland annat Advokatsamfun-det och Rättvis skatteproThis thesis examines how the evaluation, and the results of such assessment, is articulated in the judicial reasonings delivered by the Administrative Courts of Appeal and Administrative Courts in cases regarding tax surcharges and value-added tax, as well as the implications this has for the taxpayer’s legal certainty. This thesis is prompted by recent criticism directed at the Swedish Tax Agency
Short videos featuring transnational marriage content involving African women and Chinese men (African-Chinese Interracial Family videos, hereafter ACIF) have gradually formed a stable content genre on Douyin in China. This generic stability is shaped by platform mechanisms, genre conventions, and accumulated audience expectations. Yet how this genre frames marital relationships and organizes race
This thesis examines how outnovation is enacted within design entrepreneurship, with fashion design entrepreneurship as the empirical context. It analyses how value formed through design practice may contribute to sustainable competitive advantage. Understood as an alternative innovation logic centred on authenticity, nostalgia, simplicity, and sustainability, outnovation offers a counterpoint to
Tvångsvård kan enligt lagen (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga, LVU, beredas barn och unga antingen på grund av miljöfallen i 2 § LVU, eller förutsättningar kopplade till den unges eget beteende i 3 § LVU. Uppsatsen fokuserar på 2 § LVU och syftar till att undersöka vilken rätt barn har att höras och berätta om sina hemförhållanden i mål om tvångsvård enligt 2 § LVU samt hur barnCompulsory care may, under the Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act, LVU, be provided to children and young people either due to environmental conditions under Section 2 or factors related to the young person’s own behavior under Section 3. This thesis focuses on Section 2 and examines children’s right to be heard and to describe their home circumstances in such cases, as well as how the
This study examines the ecological risks and benefits of Bacillus thuringiensis-crops (Bt crops) through a systematic literature review. The aim is to analyse what ecological risks and benefits are highlighted in current research on Bt crops. The study focuses especially on insect resistance, effects on non-target organisms, and ecological effects in comparison with conventional farming systems. T
The study is motivated by scarce studies examining ethics of international development solutions. Moreover it is common for the field to investigate minorities’, i.e., direct beneficiaries’, or international development field professionals’ views, when the general public perspectives are rarely present in the research. However, everyday citizens who contribute to the field through taxes and donati
Sammanfattning I denna uppsats behandlas gränsdragningen för mänsklig inblandning i AI-baserade rekryteringsprocesser inom ramen för förbudet mot automatiserade beslut i artikel 22.1 GDPR. Undersökningen aktualiseras av den ökade an-vändningen av artificiell intelligens (AI) inom rekryteringsområdet, vilket har gett upphov till rättslig osäkerhet när teknik ersätter mänsklig bedömning. Genom AI-sySummary This thesis examines the demarcation of human intervention in AI-based re-cruitment processes within the framework of the prohibition of automated decision-making in Artikel 22.1 GDPR. The study arises from the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of recruitment, which has given rise to legal uncertainty when technology replaces human judgment. The lack of transparen
This study examines urban-rural child stunting disparities in Zambia, a country characterized by a persistent 35% stunting prevalence despite rapid urbanization. Guided by the Social Determinants of Health (SDH) framework，which attributes health inequalities to structural social and economic conditions，the analysis uses 2018 ZDHS data through stepwise logistic and stratified regressions. While rur
This thesis studies a geometric random graph model on the discrete circle Z/N Z, in which an edge between distinct vertices u and v is present independently with probability p(u, v) = min{cN^{-(1-α)}ρ(u, v)^{-α},1}, 0 < α < 1, where ρ(u, v) is the graph distance. The main focus is on the number of cycles of a fixed length, which provides a natural measure of the deviation from a tree-like structur
Till avtalstypen tillverkningsavtal hör olika avtal om tillverkning av produkter, exempelvis båtar, flygplan, klädesplagg och entreprenader. Avtalen kan klassificeras antingen som tillverkningsköp eller som materiella uppdragsavtal, baserat på vilken part som tillhandahåller materialet för tillverkningen. Det får i sin tur avgörande betydelse för den rättsliga regleringen. Köplagen är direkt tilläManufacturing agreements do not constitute a uniform type of contract in Swedish law. Rather, this category comprises various agreements for the produce of goods, such as boats, aircraft, garments, and construction contracts. These contracts may be classified either as contracts for the sale of goods to be manufactured or as contracts for the supply of services, depending on which party supplies t
Since 2024, the Swedish women’s rights organisation Kvinna till Kvinna offers a leadership training programme for women who have migrated, or who have parents who have migrated. Kvinna till Kvinna refers to these women as “women with a migration background”. The programme was presented as a response to the underrepresentation of “women with a migration background” in leadership positions, and to p
Syftet med uppsatsen är att klarlägga hur det allmänna skyndsamhetskravet i 9 § första stycket FL ska tolkas vid IVO:s handläggning av enskildas klagomål på hälso- och sjukvården. Centralt för uppsatsen är spänningen mellan klagomålsärendenas förvaltningsrättsliga form, som medför krav på bland annat skyndsam handläggning med hänsyn till den enskildes intressen, och klagomålsfunktionens syfte inomThe purpose of this thesis is to clarify how the general requirement of prompt handling in the Swedish Administrative Procedure Act (förvaltningslagen) should be interpreted in relation to IVO’s handling of individual complaints regarding health care. Central to the thesis is the tension between the administrative law character of complaint cases, which entails requirements such as prompt handling
This thesis examines the extent to which relational preconditions for innovation are institutionalised within the governance framework of the third pillar of Horizon Europe. Departing from the observation that existing research on EU innovation governance has focused predominantly on funding mechanisms and regulatory instruments, the study addresses a conceptual gap: while innovation theory consis
Since the rise of Trumpism, debates in Washington have come to resemble the grotesque dialogues of Aristophanes’ political satires more and more. Has this had an impact on the legislative effectiveness of freshman Republican Con-gressmembers? That is the question this paper seeks to answer. Starting from a dataset comprising all freshmen Republicans serving from 2001 to 2025, a com-posite Legislat
