The needs and wishes of older people have often been forgotten in urban planning in recent decades. Yet already today, more than one billion of the world‘s population is over 60 years old, and according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), one in six people will be over 60 by 2030 - an increase to 1.4 billion by 2030 and up to 2.1 billion by 2050 (WHO, 2024). Like many European countries, Switz

This paper uses nissological theory in order to ascertain the connection between Eurosceptic voting tendencies or lack thereof, and three elements often associated with island dwelling, those being physical, legal, or identity-based separation. The author has chosen four distinct island regions from around Europe, more specifically Sicily, Crete, Azores and Åland. After an explanation of the basic

This essay centres three research questions related to the Swedish Social Democrats’ positioning towards neoliberal principles in the labor market and how it’s expressed with regard to political role. This is done for the purpose of creating a nuanced understanding of the effect that neoliberal ideas have had on the formation and expression of the party narrative. For theory, critical realism and

This study examines whether state legitimacy can contribute to peace by analyzing how legitimacy has impacted levels of negative peace in Somalia and Somaliland since the collapse of the Somali state in 1991. Despite their similar historical cultural and social societal foundations, the two entities have followed remarking different political trajectories, with Somaliland experiencing significantl

In February 2023, South Africa was placed on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) greylist, raising concerns about the effects of this decision on the country. Existing studies focus mainly on macroeconomic indicators and legal analysis, with little evidence on how people experience greylisting. This thesis explores how key financial, regulatory and policy stakeholders perceive the economic, reg

This study aims to examine the individual experiences of former employees at The Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket) to understand the ethical dilemmas that may arise and how they are handled. Through a combination of Michael Lipsky's findings on the nature of street-level bureaucracy, Thomas M. Jones' model of ethical decision making and Albert O. Hirschman's terminology, eigh

This article explores the multifaceted challenges to organisational legitimacy encountered by international nongovernmental organisations (INGOs) operating in India. It seeks to uncover the factors that make certain organisations more susceptible to regulatory restrictions than others, despite operating within a shared geopolitical landscape. The research delves into the complexities surrounding I

A search is performed for dark matter particles produced in association with a resonantly produced pair of (Formula presented)-quarks with (Formula presented) using (Formula presented) of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. This signature is expected in extensions of the standard model predicting the production of dark matter par

A search for the production of three Higgs bosons ((Formula presented)) in the (Formula presented) final state is presented. The search uses (Formula presented) of proton-proton collision data at (Formula presented) collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis targets both nonresonant and resonant production of (Formula presented). The resonant interpretations prima

A search for a dark photon, a new light neutral particle, which decays promptly into collimated pairs of electrons or muons is presented. The search targets dark photons resulting from the exotic decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson, assuming its production via the dominant gluon-gluon fusion mode. The analysis is based on 140fb-1 of data collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Co

Psychiatric disorders are highly heritable and polygenic, influenced by environmental factors and often comorbid. Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) through consortium efforts have identified genetic risk loci and revealed the underlying biology of psychiatric disorders and traits. However, over 85% of psychiatric GWAS participants are of European ancestry, limiting the applicabil
