Med utgångspunkt i unikt arkivmaterial undersöker denna avhandling skillnader i hur västliga demokratier styrt radio och television. Genom en jämförande studie av fyra länder följer den de intressekonflikter som präglat etermediepolitiken — från de tidigaste radioregleringarna till kabel- och satellit-tv:s genomslag under slutet av nittonhundratalet.Snarare än att tolka politiska konflikter kring Using original archival evidence, this doctoral dissertation describes and explains differences in how Western democracies have governed radio and television, tracing interest group struggles over broadcasting in four countries from early radio policy to the rise of cable and satellite television in the late twentieth century.Rather than framing political conflicts over radio and television as a b

Private labels (PL) have gone from being a marginal and rather odd phenomenon in the gro-cery sector 20 years ago, to having a prominent role in the grocery retailing landscape, ac-counting for approximately 25-30% of what is sold in Swedish food stores today. Given the enormous turnover of the grocery trade, amounting to 326 billion SEK in 2023 according to Statistics Sweden (SCB), this is a rema

Den här rapporten syftar till att undersöka och analysera frågor kring handelns egna märkesvaror (EMV) och deras påverkan på konkurrens, priser, produktutveckling och maktbalans i dagligvarukedjan. Genom att betrakta EMV från ett konkurrensperspektiv, undersöker rapporten motiv och strategier bakom användningen av EMV, samt dess effekter på marginaler, prissättning och sortimentsbredd.Rapporten ko

We study the association between childhood neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) (ages 1-15) and hospitalization with preventable-type disease in adulthood, using geocoded longitudinal microdata for a Swedish city (1939-1967) linked to national registers (1973-2015). Observing the full residential histories at the address level for the entire population, we construct dynamic and cumulative indiv

IntroductionImmigrant children are often challenged at school. School performance is an important predictor of future socioeconomic position and mental and physical health. While studies have investigated parental mental disorders as a potential factor for poor school performance, no studies have investigated this among children with foreign-born parents, i.e., second-generation immigrant children

Drought is a climate risk that affects access to safe water, crop development, ecological stability, and food production. Therefore, developing drought prediction methods can lead to better management of surface and groundwater resources. Similarly, machine learning can be used to find improved relationships between nonlinear variables in complex systems. Initially, the standardized precipitation

This study aimed to examine how school counselors, based on equal treatment policies, work with issues regarding gender identity and gender expression in the school setting. The chosen method for this study was a qualitative method, where six semi-structured interviews with school counselors were conducted to gather empirical evidence. Michael Lipsky´s theory regarding street-level bureaucracy and

This study aims to gain knowledge about social workers' experience of their work with undocumented clients and their perception of their room of action about their experiences with this client group. The study is of qualitative orientation and it’s been carried out through semi-structured interviews. The interviews were carried out with five social workers in different workplaces including non

This study aimed to explore how social workers reason about the child’s best interests in investigations concerning visitation rights when there is a risk of domestic violence. Using evaluative argumentation analysis, we examined six child welfare investigations to identify the key factors that influence decision-making. Our findings indicate that several considerations are crucial in the assessme

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) build on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and aim to promote sustainable global development by addressing poverty, inequality, and environmental sustainability. Among the key objectives of the SDGs, Goal 6 targets universal access to safely managed drinking water and sanitation by 2030, recognizing the critical link between water, sanitation, hygiene

The surging demand for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to deliver advanced train-related Information for dispatchers and passengers has spurred the development of advanced train delay prediction models. Despite considerable efforts devoted to developing methodologies that can be used to model train operation conditions and produce anticipated train delays, the evaluation strategies for tr
