This thesis looks at the Nordic Centre for Gender in Military Operations and sees how the centre constructs its own identity to align with the discourse of postna¬tional defense, and how it evaluates NATOs peacekeeping operation in Afghani¬stan. Through this, the thesis aims to analyse the hegemonic struggle between the discourses of traditional military structure and the cosmopolitan postnational
The American company town has, by several authors, been pronounced dead in its current state. In this study, the concept of the company town is applied to the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. When applying the concept of the company town in a contemporary context, the exact pattern that characterised the company town during the 19th and early 20th century cannot be followed. By making
Economic growth research has over the past few decades tried to explain what causes coun-tries to achieve a sustainable economic growth. Many theories and hypotheses’ have been introduced and tried empirically. One key factor that has proven to create growth is the tech-nological progress. But what is technology? It is a very complex concept and in this paper we use panel data for 41 countries ove
The lifetimes of low-lying excited states below the 8+ seniority isomer were directly measured using fast timing detectors in the neutron-deficient isotopes 98,100Cd. This experiment was conducted with the DEcay SPECtroscopy (DESPEC) setup at GSI, where the ions of interest were produced via a fragmentation reaction and identified using the FRagment Separator (FRS) before being implanted in the AI
Model-based design is an emerging tool for dealing with the uncertain dynamic loads entering wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). But our understanding about the load-driving population-dynamics is limited. Therefore, we studied if mobility data (mobile telecommunications data) could be used to reduce uncertainties during design. Mobility data from Uppsala, Sweden between 2019–2022 clearly quantif
The purpose of the thesis is to showcase the affect environmental policy has on the centrallocal relations in contemporary China. The thesis argues that the central government is centralizing control of environmental policy by the use of the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Key Regions plan (Prevention Plan). The Prevention Plan introduces policies to enhance cooperation on a regional le

Development aid is distributed globally to fight the growing inequalities and challenges faced by the world’s poorest. Despite its altruistic connotations, questions have been raised of whether aid always contributes to positive change, with increasing criticism of its usage for the donors’ egoistic motives. Security is one donor motive that has been researched by scholars seeking to better unders
The black hole information paradox is of central importance in the study of quantum gravity. The paradox states that quantum fields surrounding a black hole behave in ways that run into conflict with the unitarity of quantum mechanical time evolution. In the course of the past two years, new theoretical discoveries have made progress towards the paradox’s resolution, suggesting that unitarity can
Mot bakgrund av Finlands antagande av Lagen om temporära åtgärder för att bekämpa instrumentaliserad migration (2024), syftar denna uppsats till att undersöka hur säkerhetisering-relaterat språk kan användas för att legitimera lagen inom den finska politiska diskursen. Lagen presenterades som ett svar på Rysslands påstådda användning av migranter som ett verktyg i hybridpåverkan mot Finland. När mFinland’s adoption of the Act on Temporary Measures to Combat Instrumentalized Migration (2024:482) provides the background of this investigation. The legislation was introduced as a response to Russia’s alleged use of migrants as a tool of hybrid influence against Finland. When migration is reframed as a form of warfare, it risks reshaping both legislation and perceptions of asylum rights. How po
This bachelor thesis focuses on the democratic transition in Argentina in the begin¬ning of the 1980s and aims to expose several variables within this political develop¬ment by using a method of process tracing. What many scholars have failed to notice is the role that women's movements in Latin America have had in this process. The authoritarian regime in Argentina also failed to acknowledge
