From needs to competencies : a case study on the integration of a rights based approach into NGO practises
2010
The objective of this qualitative case study is to provide knowledge on the possibilities of incorporating a rights based approach (RBA) into practises of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the context of development and children. The study is confined to examine the possibilities of RBA in realising children’s rights within the child sponsorship programme (CSP) of a Finnish NGO, Fida International (Fida), and the conceptualisation of the child in regard to different approaches. The theoretical framework is built on contemporary development discourse concerning the approximation of human rights and development as well as the underlying reasons for the emergence of RBA as a contributio…
On Equal Terms? : On Implementing Infants’ Cultural Rights
2020
How can we implement infants’ cultural rights? Is there even reason to confer such rights to non-speaking children, or is it enough that we recognise slightly older children as culturally active individuals? Acknowledging children’s intellectual capacities and their right to be heard in matters that concern them are important threads in research on children and ideals of childrearing during the last hundred years. This development is parallel with the one leading from the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1923 to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989. The spirit of human rights that informs these documents cannot be underestimated. Yet reading the Convention carefully…
Instruccions per unflar i esclatar una bombolla immobiliària. El cas del País Valencià. Evolució i dircurs polític.
2010
La formació i posterior esclat del mercat immobiliari ha provocat que l’habitatge i la política d’habitatge s’hagen situat com un dels objectes d’anàlisi més importants del últims anys. El baròmetre del CIS (Centre d’investigacions sociològiques) de setembre de 2007 indicava que l’habitatge era, per primera vegada a la història, la principal causa de preocupació dels espanyols. Al preguntar-los pels tres principals problemes que existien en l’actualitat (setembre de 2007) en Espanya, el 37’3 per cent dels enquestats va mencionar l’habitatge, un 35,4% assenyalà el terrorisme i un 35% va respondre que l’atur. La comunicació realitza una aproximació a les causes que van propiciar el notable in…
Accumulation of disparity in physical activity in old age
2012
Background and aims: The level of physical activity often declines in old age, although many older people would like to be more active than what they are capable of. This leads to unmet physical activity need, the feeling that one’s level of physical activity is inadequate, which is a manifestation of disparity in physical activity in old age. The accumulation of risk factors, including mobility limitations, low socioeconomic status (SES) and lack of social support may increase disparity in physical activity. The aim of this study was to investigate how the accumulation of risk factors is associated with unmet physical activity need in older community-living people. Methods: The study was b…

Moving forward sustainably : material and social conditions of electronic waste management in Nigeria
2018
This dissertation focuses on understanding the social material interaction between e-waste and e-scrappers for sustainable management of e-waste. Previous studies mainly concentrate on the detrimental environmental impact of e-scrappers activities, the economic and political influences of e-waste on the e-scrappers, the material flow of e-waste and the exportation of valuable e-waste extracts from highly industrialized countries to less industrialized countries. The aim of the dissertation is therefore to extend the scope of the previous studies by investigating the social material interaction between e-scrappers and e-waste. To achieve this aim, this study examines the following research q…
