Soils provide the foundation for human well-being but are increasingly degrading from land use change or types of intensive land use like agriculture. In Europe, soil natural capital is degrading over time and space because of compaction, erosion, and the loss of organic matter. This trend diminishes the soil’s ability to sustain a flow of ecosystem services, which are valuable to human well-being
Education for sustainability (EfS) has been regarded a promising approach for solving sustainability challenges. Results have been unsatisfying due to a knowledge-dissemination focus in the formal sector. Reasons are economic and political interests shaping formal education. Therefore, hopes are placed in the non-formal sector to close this knowledge-to-action gap. In this case study, I aim to und
The thesis proceeds from Sweden’s first gender equality sub-goal; Equal Division of Power and Influence, in order to investigate how the political power is divided between the sexes within local committees in Skåne and in Lund. Political commitments at local level should be carried out alongside labour or other occupation; and thus the overall aim of the thesis is to investigate if labour market m

The reserve covers an area of approximately 140 000 hectares, supporting a human population of 118 000, as well as a complex mosaic of ecosystems, which are found in this transitional waters landscape. Administratively the area is highly fragment
This paper will focus on a comparative analysis of the gendered social construction of parenting (mothering and fathering); in relation to possible relationship burdens faced by parents, in the process of care giving and administration of therapeutic mechanisms, to children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The gendered social construction of parenting and respective burdens will be a
Forskning visar att när patienter upplever att de blir dåligt bemötta av hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal drabbas patienternas möjligheter att vara delaktiga i sin egen vård. Då är det viktigt att det finns någonstans patienterna kan vända sig och klaga. Den här uppsatsens syfte är att analysera det svenska klagomålssystemet inom hälso- och sjukvården i teori och praktik, med en särskild fokus på bemöThe topic of this essay is the complaint system in the Swedish healthcare. There are four instances that have a responsibility to process complaints: the healthcare provider, the Patient Advisory Committee, IVO (the Health and Social Care Inspectorate), and DO (the Equality Ombudsman). The complaints that are the focus in this essay are those from patients concerning the behaviour, receivement, an
Global agri-food systems are in urgent need of a sustainability transformation guided by best practices of agroecology. The study used the Tool for Agroecological Performance Evaluation (TAPE) to assess the performance of seven market gardens in southern Sweden in comparison to the Swedish horticultural sector. The findings indicate that all participating market gardens could be considered agroeco
The case company under study has conducted a continuous process of business model innovation for sustainability since 2007, but is suffering from barriers present in the process. The limited amount of literature on business model innovation for sustainability provides little guidance on barriers. Therefore, this research aims to contribute to the literature by identifying what barriers are present

The starting point of this repo
Att arbetsmarknaden är i ständig förändring råder det ingen tvekan om. Produktionen av både tjänster och varor efterfrågar nya former för förvärvande av arbetsprestationer. Mer eller mindre nya grepp inom företagsvärlden som till exempel utkontraktering och projektanställningar vittnar om detta. Förändringarna gör att gränsdragningen mellan att vara arbetstagare och uppdragstagare inte kan förväntThe labour market is constantly changing. The production of both services and goods are now acquiring labour in new forms. More or less new tendencies in business management such as outsourcing and project assignments are realities today. These changes add complexity to the process of defining whether a person, the work performing part, is to be considered as employed by the principal or as an ent
Syftet med vår uppsats är att utifrån svenska mindre aktiebolags, revisorers och expertorgans perspektiv redogöra för om förslagen i propositionen ”Förenklade redovisningsregler m.m.” och BFNs ”Allmänna råd för K2 - mindre aktiebolag” överensstämmer med vad de anser behöver förenklas. Syftet är också att redogöra för vilken funktion redovisningen har för de mindre aktiebolagen och vilka konsekvens
Syftet med examensarbetet är att analysera om BFN stötte på problem vid upparbetningen, samt om vår expert och redovisningsekonomerna tror samma problem kommer att uppstå vid tillämpningen. Ändamålet är även att beskriva varför dessa kommer att bli problematiska och om andra problem kommer att uppstå. I teorin beskrivs gällande regelverk och kommande K2-regelverket för belysta problemområden samt
We investigate how the anchoring effect—a well-established cognitive bias—influences the full distribution of subjective beliefs. While prior research extensively examines the impact of anchoring and other biases on point estimates, their effect on higher moments of the distribution remains unexplored. Through a pre-registered online experiment (N=732), we find that anchoring impacts the mean, var
This paper is based on a study where four go-along interviews with a total of sixteen participants were conducted in three Swedish cities. The purpose of this study was to find out how different aspects and qualities of the built environment affected different persons in terms of experiences of inclusion and exclusion and strategies used to deal with obstacles in the environment. The study highlig
Human-robot interactions are inherently different from interactions with other artefacts, as robots are autonomous. Furthermore, recent technological advances have also enabled robots to undertake roles that are formerly thought to be reserved for humans, e.g. as companions or lovers, since interactive abilities of robots and their autonomy are sufficient to evoke an automatic cognitive response -
In the Swedish context Swedish language skills are considered to be a crucial factor for an individual's ability to establish him/herself in society as well as on the labour market. Despite this, the Swedish organisation Swedish for Immigrants (SFI) has been exposed to extensive critique: Not enough students manage to establish themselves on the labour market, but get trapped in SFI. The purpo
