Civil liberties and freedoms have diminished globally due to the last decades’ deepened authoritarianism. Concurrently, mobilizations countering this development have decreased. Hong Kong represents one of the cases where anti-authoritarian resistance has been sustained, which sparks a question regarding what motivates people in expanding authoritarian spaces to engage in contentious politics. Thi

Det grova våldet har ökat i Sverige och inom politiken pratas det mycket om vad som behöver göras, vilken som är den mest effektiva insatsen och hur man bäst bekämpar brott. Vi intresserar oss därmed för att ta reda på hur olika aktörer beskriver och tolkar det brottsförebyggande arbetet. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att analysera tolkningspraktikerna av det brottsförebyggande arbetet i Helsing

Denna kandidatuppsats forskningsfokus har varit digitalisering och hållbar utveckling. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur kommuner i Skåne använder digitalisering för hållbarhet med avsikt att kunna föreslå förbättringsförslag. För att uppfylla syftet med forskningsstudien har en kvalitativ forskningsstudie genomförts, där insamlade data från semi-strukturerade intervjuer med kommunanställda

Every year, the average age of the population is increasing as people live longer and fewer children are born. With age, it is not uncommon for cognitive abilities to deteriorate, affecting the ability to learn new things and process new information. As digitalization continues, some people are left behind and thus experience difficulties in using the newly developed digital environments. This is

Indigenous peoples are one of the most marginalized social groups in Ecuador. Emerging as a new actor contesting this situation, indigenous youth defenders (IYD) appear to be leading initiatives that promote indigenous rights in the country. Thus, grounded in Social Movements Theory, this thesis aims to explore the perceived role of IYD in broadening the promotion of indigenous rights and identiti

This research was done to analyse how different heat treatment processing conditions influence the properties of milk. The focus was on high temperature heat treatment, namely extended shelf life (ESL) and ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk. The milk processing was performed in the range of 124 - 143 ℃ for 1 and 4 seconds. The analyses that were done involved nutritional and technological propertie

The gastrointestinal tract encounters foreign antigens, commensal bacteria and nutrients on a daily basis. Under steady state conditions, a regulatory immune system maintains gut homeostasis. However, disruption of the balance between regulatory components and defeating invading pathogens leads to overshooting inflammatory reactions that can culminate in chronic and relapsing intestinal inflammati

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a childhood cancer contributing to several cases of cancer related deaths in children every year. The oncogene MYCN is known to be related to a worse outcome in patients with NB and is found in approximately 20 % of the cases. MYCN is controlled during normal development, however in NB it is dysregulated. The understanding of NB has been hampered due to the lack of embryonic

Problem description Multiple cases show that companies can improve performance after implementing an AutoStore system. However, research on optimizing the design and how to successfully control the AutoStore system is limited. Furthermore, studies focusing on optimizing operations around Robot-based Compact Storage and Retrieval Systems (RCSRS) in general, are important for the development of ope

Since the 1950's, mass tourism has become a considerable part of modern western culture. Examining where, why and how people have traveled can tell us a lot about people's habits and cultural frames of reference. Yet, the area of tourism history is fairly uncharted, with travelogs being one of the more prevalent objects of interest for academic research. Research focused on travel guides a

This study examines the rhetorical situation of door-to-door canvassing through qualitative research interviews with partisan canvassers from the Social Democratic Party in Malmö, Sweden, with the theoretical framework of Lloyd F. Bitzer's "The Rhetorical Situation" (1968). The study concludes that door-to-door canvassing is situational in its form, and must therefore respond to audi

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused division among nations, with large parts of the Global South either refraining from condemning Russia or outright criticizing the West for its pro-Ukraine stance. It highlights the need to examine Russia’s public diplomacy efforts and ability to attract parts of the Global South in the context of the war. Based on this notion, the following thesis examin

Denna uppsats syftar till att få en djupare förståelse för vilka utmaningar COVID-19 pandemin och övergången till distansarbete har skapat för chefer i Sverige, samt att förstå hur chefer kan överkomma utmaningarna som uppstår. Uppsatsen kan därför bidra med ökad förståelse kring svenska chefers ledarskap vid distans- och hybridarbete. Metodvalet i uppsatsen har bestått av insamling av kvalitativ
