The mass tourism developed during the 50s and today, the travelling- and tourism industry is the third biggest industry in the world. Only the oil industry and the building sector are bigger. The biggest environmental load caused by tourism is the trans
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this thesis focuses on the bottom-up conceptualisation of the notion of rule of law, developed by a group of activists against a COVID vaccine passport enforced in Italy (so-called Green Pass), and their subsequent everyday acts of resistance. By using a multimodal digital ethnography methodology, centred on both in-person and digital informal encounters, t
This paper investigates if educational attainment among females when they are young affects the incidence of child marriage. There is a general agreement that education delays the time of marriage and thus works as a protective factor against child marriage. However, there is no causal estimate of education on age at marriage. By using educational variation induced from the Indonesian Sekolah Dasa
A search for Higgs-boson pair production in the bbbb final state is carried out with 3.2 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data collected at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector. The data are consistent with the estimated background and are used to set upper limits on the production cross section of Higgs-boson pairs times branching ratio to bbbb for both nonresonant and resonant production. In the case
nvestigating the Swedish stock market, we find value stocks to have significantly outperformed growth stocks during the period of 1993 to 2017. As value stocks are found to be riskier during bad states of the economy, the existence of the value premium can be partly attributed to time-varying risk. Value betas are anticyclical, while growth betas exhibit a procyclical pattern. Controlling for time
Uppsatsen behandlar den EU-rättsliga definitionen av biometrisk uppgift i förhållande till EU-kommissionens förslag på en kommande AI-förordningen. Utredningen sker med utgångspunkt i en EU-rättslig, rättsdogmatisk och rättsanalytisk metod. Uppsatsen är indelad i två huvuddelar. Den första delen är en terminologisk utredning av dataskyddsförordningens definition av begreppet biometrisk uppgift. DeThis thesis concerns the definition of biometric data in relation to the AI Act as proposed by the European Commission. The examination is conducted with the application of an EU legal method, a legal dogmatic method, and a legal analytical method. The first part consists of a terminological investigation of biometric data as defined in the Data Protection Regulation (DPR). The second part aims to
We introduce MotionCanvas, a spatial art creation tool that integrates Generative AI and motion capture technologies into artistic interactive experiences. Existing interactive platforms provide engaging environments and allow users to interact through touch or gestures. However, they are often limited by predefined interactive content and gestures, lacking the ability to respond to user movements
In this study we analyze the intraday behaviour of stock returns and trading volume using the data on OMXS 30 stocks. We find that returns follow a reverse J-shaped pattern with the peak at the beginning of the trading day, while trading volume attains its maximum towards at the market closure. The highest volatility and kurtosis are observed at 09:30-10:00, and 11:30-12:00, when the macroeconomic
This article aims to explore how policy translation and institutional legacies have shaped South Korean parental leave policies between 1995 and 2021. It draws on a document analysis of central political documents and interviews with a number of key policy actors in South Korea. The findings show that reforms of parental leave policies were implemented according to four major rationales: maternityThis article aims to explore how policy translation and institutional legacies have shaped South Korean parental leave policies between 1995 and 2021.

In secondary-school English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) classrooms worldwide, English tends to be used alongside the society or community majority language (Brevik & Rindal 2020; Tsagari & Diakou 2015; Üstünel 2016), and research reveals greater participation and positive attitudes among students when translanguaging is permitted (Ebe 2016; Kleyn 2016; Saxena 2009; Ollerhead 2019; Seltzer
In the 20th century, Sweden distinguished itself as one of the most organized and participatory democracies in the world. But in the late 19th century the situation was much the opposite – Sweden had for Western Europe a low degree of suffrage, and low political participation.

Public libraries serve as social infrastructures that foster interpersonal connections and promote well-being and cohesion. In order to explore the role played by libraries in the process of social infrastructuring, we conducted a zine-making workshop with librarians. This workshop facilitated collegial conversations and provided an opportunity for participants to familiarize themselves with the c
In Sweden, austerity politics and market reforms have resulted in a renegotiation of working conditions negatively impacting female-dominated public sector- and welfare state workers.

The aim is not only to study the actions of the KGB during the crisis itself, but above all to show how the events in Novocherkassk contributed to the subsequent change in the overall character of this repressive service and, more generally, the This essay analyses the role of the KGB, the Soviet state security and political police, in suppressing large workers’ protests in Novocherkassk in early June 1962. The aim is not only to study the actions of the KGB during the crisis itself, but to show how events in Novocherkassk and the subsequent brutal punishment of their main actors contributed to the subsequent change in the overall charact
The article explores the more-than-human characterization of the Theotokos in the famous Akathistos Hymn. The Mother of God emerged as an intercessional figure in the Christian imagination during late antiquity, but the formative period of mariology is still partly uncharted territory to modern scholarship. Reflecting on its rich landscape imagery and chora language, the article argues that the AkThis article explores the more-than-human characterization of the Theotokos in the famous Akathistos Hymn.
