This thesis investigates how employment as a concept is used in the discussions about integration policy. With the supposition that employment is regarded as one of the most important factors of integration, it studies the arguments that endorse this supposition in texts on integration policies. Using the discourse theory of Laclau and Mouffe, I discern three different discourses that can explain

Popular science Climate change impacts on water balance of the Mediterranean region Some regions and ecosystems are more sensitive than others in the face of a climate change. Mediterranean region which is the problematic of this thesis is one of those regions. Even now regions is showing differences on its hydrological pattern because of temperature rise.

It is essential to model the water balance of this region in order to better understand the impacts of climate change. The water balance expresses the net result of the flow of water from atmosphere to the surface and vice versa. It is one of the

The pilot project which is reported here was triggered by the author’s curiosity of the origin and development of basic textile technologies in early Palaeolithic and Mesolithic hunter-gatherer groups. The research question for the study is: Can comparisons of textile artefacts over a large range of areas and time spans tell us something about the early manufacture, use and development of textiles

When adopting the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), in 2000, the United Nations General Assembly recognised the importance of good governance in reaching them. This study examines the hypothesis that good governance has an impact on the achievement of the MDGs. It does so by conducting regression analysis on the impact of good governance on the MDG indicators for water and sanitation. The

The determination of the built-up area of a refugee camp is an important task as it can be used for estimating the population. While high resolution satellite imagery can be costly, since 2015 Sentinel-2 data has become available through the European Space Agency. Sentinel-2 offers 10 m resolution images with frequents updates. In this paper three methodologies are compared for the purpose of esti

The infraorder Ceratopsia, or horned dinosaurs, within the clade Dinosauria, shows a specific, restrained migratory pattern. Therefore, the classical view presented by Sereno (1999), of a monodirectal migratory event from Asia to North America via the Bering’s Strait has been commonly accepted in its simplicity. Another hypothe-sis presented during the same time by Chinnery (1998) suggests a migra

In this Bachelor thesis I examine the relationship between knowledge and power against the Zeitgeist of politicized science and depoliticized politics. I aim to uncover and problematize the understanding of legitimate knowledge production articulated in Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), the framework for research within the current European research programme. I use Laclau and Mouffe’s di

This project has developed from the site and building conditions in an area of central Boden, a town in the inland north of Sweden. In post-war times, the city grew thanks to the military and regional hospital resulting in the development of the site Prästholmen that was realized true to the modernistic ideal of the time. Since then, Boden together with its inland neighbours, have struggled agai
