Mountain areas all around the world are extremely vulnerable to climate change. In Europe, local livelihoods are closely linked to tourism, which will not only be strongly affected by climate change, but will also contribute to these changes. Based on twenty-three interviews, this thesis uses Actor Network Theory to define the tourism system and to analyze destination adaptation in the Mont Blanc
This paper empirically investigates the relationship between education and risk of developing dementia. From a large body of literature, it is well known that higher education associates with better health. This is true both for health in general, but also for more specific diseases like Alzheimer’s. However, the question of whether the link between years of education and dementia is causal or not
This thesis applies a Foucauldian genealogy to examine the power relations in global univer-sity rankings, by analysing three strategic reports from Lund University. The strategic reports are from 1995-2000, 2012-2016, and 2017-2026. The theory applied is Foucault’s pow-er/knowledge theory. The research question that guides this thesis is What signs of adaptation to rankings can be identified in t
The aim of this paper has been to provide a socio-legal analysis of domestic violence and divorce in secular Uzbekistan. The legislation express that men and women are equal to the law, that any kind of discrimination is forbidden and judicial divorce is possible. However, domestic violence is socially accepted through social norms and traditions while to seek divorce is viewed as a shameful act.
In September 2015, China ended the one child policy and opened the two-child policy. However, the focus on fertility and family in public and government discourse is still links to issues of national survival and economic development. This means that women’s social roles are still defined according to the needs and interests of the state, and scripted, first and foremost, as familial. Women are ma
This paper establishes the difference between process and outcome differentiation, claiming that the former seems to have become reality in the European integration process. Concerning the outcome, the author claims that thus far the Union is legally defined by its actors to be a harmonisation project, serving the interests of EU citizens by means of an economic and increasingly political Union of
The aim of this study was to collect new knowledge about the importance of signal crayfish predation on zebra mussels in Lake Erken. Possibly with implications on biological control of the invasive species in Swedish lakes. I performed a field experiment with enclosures (including signal crayfish) and exclosures (without signal crayfish) during 11 summer weeks in Lake Erken. My results showed that

The present research front of NbO2 based memory, energy generation, and storage thin film devices is reviewed. Sputtering plasmas contain NbO, NbO2, and NbO3 clusters, affecting nucleation and growth of NbO2, often leading to a formation of nanorods and nanoslices. NbO2 (I41/a) undergoes the Mott topological transition at 1081 K to rutile (P42/mnm), yielding changes in the electronic structure, wh
This paper analyzes the existence of market power on the Nordic electricity market between 2018-2022, and if the energy market turbulence caused by covid-19, and later deepened following the war in Ukraine affected producers' bidding behavior. Market power was tested using Cournot assumptions to see if producers withheld output strategically when demand was more inelastic. Auction data on syst
Abstract in French Au-delà du montage – la rhétorique du cinéma Contrairement à d'autres types d'images plus statiques, le film, avec son fort "effet de réalité", semble résister à une explication inspirée d'un modèle rhétorique. Même du point de vue d'une rhétorique "écologique", telle que la nôtre, qui reconnaît une rupture de normes déjà dans les transformations homogènes, le film peut facilem
