The purpose of the study is to examine how the European Green Deal shapes and constrains what is considered possible and desirable in order to tackle the climate crisis. More specifically, the objective is to expose its underlying assumptions, interrogate what is taken for granted and left unproblematic. In order to examine how established knowledge shapes and constrains political action the study
The Missing Middle describes a phenomenon and a movement to fill a gap in the housing choices offered in many North American cities. Although proponents of the movement state that Missing Middle forms can seamlessly replace single-family housing in existing neighbourhoods, a paradigm shift in Vancouver’s housing supply presents an opportunity to restructure its public spaces and services in tandem
Education is one of the key components in developing identity, personality and a sense of belonging in the time of peace. But when weaponized by the states as a tool of indoctrination, education becomes a highly effective instrument of war, contrary to the relevant rules prescribed by the international humanitarian and international human rights law. This weaponization of education was widely empl
Early 2020 saw the publishing of the European Union’s new Africa Strategy. With a focal point on fostering economic growth, the strategy coalesces around increasing the confidence of international financiers to partake in investing into Africa. This thesis operationalises a framework on financialization to critically investigate ways in which the EU’s investment-led strategy advances financializat
Abstract Author: Erica Almström Title: “Too personal a tale” – a qualitative study about accommodation educators vision of their work with unaccompanied refugee children. Supervisor: Anders Östnäs The purpose of this study was to illustrate how the work with unaccompanied refugee children is perceived by the employees at a youth accommodation. The study had a qualitative study and the empirical d
This thesis examines the effect of closing down police stations on crime in Sweden from 1996 to 2011. This is done by analyzing the relationship between the number of crimes in a municipality, the crime rate and the closing down of police stations in 288 Swedish municipalities from 1996 to 2011. A quantitative approach using a difference-in-difference estimator and monthly panel-data from question
Uppsatsen behandlar Oscar Wildes The Picture of Dorian Gray ur ett queerfeministiskt perspektiv, med utgångspunkt i Eve Kosofsky Sedgwicks teorier om framför allt erotiska trianglar och homosociala relationer män emellan. Uppsatsen behandlar även hur "maskulinitet" och "femininitet" representeras i romanen och hur dessa representationer påverkar de tre huvudkaraktärernas hierar
Denna undersökning rör frågan om vilket inflytande förkastningarna i de tektoniska Polotsk- Kurzeme och Småland-Blekingezonerna utövat på det överlagrande sedimenttäckets och den nutida topografins utbildning. Syftet var att bestämma karaktären av denna påverkan och dess tänkbara orsaker. De huvudsakliga undersökningsområdena utgjordes av Polotskdelen av Polotsk-Kurzeme deformationszonen i norra VThis is a study of the influence of the crystalline basement faults of the Polotsk-Kurzeme and the Småland-Blekinge Deformation Zones on the development of the sedimentary cover and the formation of the present topography. The purpose is to define the character and possible causes of this influence. The key target areas of this study are the Polotsk part of the Polotsk-Kurzeme Deformation Zone in

The stories deal with se
Absorption and fluorescence spectral properties of J-aggregates of core-tetrasubstituted perylene bisimide (PBI) dyes have been investigated in the temperature range from 300 to 5 K. A special feature of the present PBI J-aggregates is that, in contrast to classical J-aggregates like that of pseudoisocyanine (PIC), the chromophores are held together not only by van-der-Waals interactions but also
We report an investigation of the structural and dynamic properties of mixtures of food colloid casein micelles and low molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide). A combination of visual observations, confocal laser scanning microscopy, diffusing wave spectroscopy, and oscillatory shear rheometry is used to characterize the state diagram of the mixtures and describe the structural and dynamic properti
The use of new powerful nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques to identify and screen for prevalence of parasites has a huge potential. It allows for the detection and identification of low-intensity infections, but its high sensitivity and technical setup may also induce problems. Here, we report a cautionary note regarding misleading amplification of avian malaria species (Haemoproteu
Positional cloning of susceptibility genes in complex diseases like rheumatoid arthritis in humans is hampered by aspects like genetic heterogeneity and environmental variations, while genetic studies in animal models contain several advantages. With animal models, the environment can be controlled, the genetic complexity of the disease is minimized and the disease onset can be predicted, which si
We predictably believe that immense natural resources would generate large revenues and wealth within a country. Nevertheless, a lot of evidences show the contrary. Empirical studies find that resource abundance, economic collapse, civil wars, and political instability are well correlated. This indeed creates a complex puzzle as to why natural blessing has not always brought wealth in most resourc
Modern technology has brought opportunities to reach an audience beyond national, cultural and social borders. The intention of the study is to explore how rhetoric can be used as a practical and analytical tool to overcome conflict and create unity between the speakers and their audience. In other words: How can rhetoric be used as a community- and identitybuilding resource to reduce the distance
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol, which allows industrialised countries that have binding emission targets to invest in emission reduction projects in non-industrialised countries. These CDM investments generate certified emission reductions (CERs), which can be used by the industrialised countries towards meeting their own targets. The dual objective o

This Master thesis treats development studies of an elevated light fixture from Pre study to prototype. The project is carried out in cooperation with Safegate Interna-tional AB and the Machine Design Department at the University of Lund. Throughout the project a combination of the methodologies, Ullrich and Eppinger’s “Product Design and Development” and Pahl and Beitz’s “Engineering design, a sy
