There is relatively little research on women’s involvement with drugs in the Nordic area. While women’s experiences have enjoyed greater attention in the literature than previously (Chesney-Lind and Chagnon, 2016), many analyses appear to consider gender as a single variable in addition to class. Further, gender has become synonymous with women, ‘as if the other, the general’ were not also similar

This text is an inquiry into how the international community is understood in and through international law. My prism for this inquiry shall be the principle of proportionality in international humanitarian law, relating expected civilian losses to anticipated military advantage. To properly understand proportionality, I have to revert to the structure of analogical thinking in the thomistic tradi

By now I’ve probably filled an ocean - crisis management and how to move on after losing someone The purpose of this study was to examine how people manage crisis after someone’s death and if there are different phases while in grief. Cullberg’s theory of crisis is used as an analytical tool. The method I employed was document analysis of eight blogs and ten posts on different open Internet commu

My study of serving and drinking reveals that within ritual in the Roman Iron Age were inherently extensive non-ceremonial social practices, and many twisted facets of the public and private that we have learned to know from former studies. The variations in vessel composition in the drinking sets indicate a political-geographical distribution pattern for vessels of Roman origin. But, the drinking

This project was based on a thesis about how product semiotics and aesthetics has defined a design standard for many products. Hence the development for those products may have stagnated. The proj- ect began by researching different products and domains to see how designers throughout the years had “thought outside the box”, to then try to see how much I could push towards that direction. The fi

På Gotland tonar knotiga, skulpturala tallar upp sig och den vita kalkstenen ger ön ett alldeles eget ljus som har gjort intryck på flertalet besökare. Carolina Benedicks Bruce och hennes man William valde ön för konsten och det var genom den hon väckte mitt intresse. Det nationella kulturarv de skapade och deras konstnärshem Brucebo blev utgångspunkten jag ville bygga vidare på i mitt examensarbe

Denna studie undersöker hur tre klassiska sångpedagoger på avancerad nivå ser på tungans funktion och hur de diagnostiserar, analyserar och arbetar med oönskade tungspänningar. Ett övergripande syfte är även att undersöka om det går att urskilja ett mönster i sångpedagogernas syn på arbetet med tungan och tungspänningar. Studien är kvalitativ och utförd med semistrukturerade intervjuer. För att ävThis study explores three classical voice teachers’ views on the function of the tongue in singing and how they diagnose, analyze and work with unwanted tongue tensions. My focus is to determine whether it is possible to find common denominators in the voice teachers’ conceptions of the tongue and unwanted behavior of the tongue. I use a qualitative approach in my study, where data is collected th

En ny början för Skånes rikkärr Ibland när du går ute på den skånska myllan en dag i juni kan du träffa på ett sankt område med påtagligt mosstäcke och vackra orkidéer; då har du vandrat in i ett rikkärr och med tanke på orkidéerna så rör det sig med största sannolikhet om ett extremrikkärr. Vad är då ett rikkärr och varför behöver vi börja arbeta hårt med att bevara denna något gäckande naturtypRich fens contribute with numerous ecosystem services, such as the highest biodiversity found among wetlands, water purification, carbon sequestration, hydrological services, recreational and educational services are all part of services provided from rich fens. Drainage and land-use change has severely damaged or destroyed these services in many regions of Europe and Sweden; restoration plans are

In the summer of 2023, the international World Scout Jamboree (WSJ) will take place in South Korea. A Swedish scout delegation will participate in the camp and provide a Swedish food house. In an international context such as the WSJ, the Swedish scouts will express their own nationality, through both the Swedish Food House and other national symbols. This expression of nationality is essentially

My interest for the topic discussed in the thesis originates from my experiences and previous fears for Landskrona as a city, a place that I nowadays live in and have no intention of leaving. The aim of the research presented in the thesis was to investigate whether or not safety and security walks is an efficient instrument for increasing the feeling of safety among the population and for reducin

Swedish emigration to America is a topic that does not hold a major position in Swedish historical research anymore. At one time, during the 1960s and 1970s, there were a major research project, Sweden and America after 1860, that focused primarily on the reasons of the migration, the demographics of the migration and to some extent what happened to the emigrants in America. The research project d

This dissertation is focused on the differences that can be observed in New Age material published between 1974 and 1995 in two different Swedish publications, one weekly magazine and one national morning paper. It is shown that the main parts of the readers of these two publications are polarised according to socio-economic status. I start from an assumption that the material I have analysed embo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jag kommer i denna avhandling att resonera kring frågor om skräckfilm som genre och studera hur Hellraiser förhåller sig till dess teman och problem. Hellraiser är en skräckfilm och således, på gott och ont, bunden till en kontroversiell genre. Jag anser det omöjligt att frångå detta i min analys där jag bland annat studerar ondska, sexualitet och genus. Efter en presenIn this dissertation I will discuss horror film as a genre and study how Hellraiser relates to its themes and problems. First I describe the production of the film and after that I present Clive Barker - his background, authorship, film-making and artwork. Next I study the problems of the genre and the different ways in which this genre is defined. I look at narrative characteristics as well as, f

The cellphone footage of Daniel Penny, a 24-year-old white man in his twenties, choking the life out of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old Black man, in a New York City subway car during the summer of 2023 made headlines around the globe. The story took off in part because it was identified by the press as existing within the long history of American vigilantism, one that dates to the very founding of th

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease with poor prognosis. The symptoms are often unspecific, which can lead to delayed diagnosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can be used to accurately assess the right ventricle (RV) and is the gold standard for measuring volumes and global ventricular function, such as ejection fraction. However, even with preserved ejection fractio

Civic integration is an essential part of contemporary migration control regimes. This thesis examines what happens when civic integration policy enters domestic courts, by focusing on how Sweden’s migration courts (which are part of the administrative courts) apply the income and housing requirements for family reunification.The thesis revolves around a common discussion in the legal literature,

Background Adolescence is characterized by large bodily changes and a heightened body-focus. It is also a sensitive period for the onset of various forms of psychopathology. Previous longitudinal studies have shown that body dissatisfaction is a predictor of disordered eating, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), and depression among adolescents. Body dissatisfaction, however, only represents one aspe

Biotechnology and genetic engineering raise a number of new ethical problems. Consequently, over the past 15 years, several European countries, including the Nordic countries, have passed new laws in an attempt to deal with the ethical problems posed by biotechnology. These developments raise the question of how to formulate legislation to regulate both the technical and ethical aspects of biotech
