Tourism as an economic activity has been on the rise for the last decades. For that reason, it is labeled as a vehicle for development and for generating economic growth. While the sector is benefiting local societies it is also the root of societal and environmental problems. For that reason, local societies are mobilizing against the sector and its further development. The aim of this thesis is

The hiker reaches out from the city, town, or village, intending to be alone. Away from sounds, away from paved roads and houses, away from streetlights and phones, away from people. But what is ‘nature’, and who has the right to it? The untouched landscape shaped by nothing but the earth itself is today hard to find. Human activity is close to everywhere. Even in Sarek National Park, an area of d

This thesis is about autistic women. It is about how we, as a society, construct and perceive normality and motherhood as a normative ideal for women. It is also about a dis/ability that often goes unnoticed since autism is not defined by any visible markers. Rather, autism is categorized by behaviour considered atypical through the medical gaze.

The crystals were visualized using the Monte Carlo algorithm as well as the Metropolis algorithm. Furthermore, the distribution of particles was examined using

Ehlers Danlos syndrom (EDS) är en ovanlig ärftlig sjukdom som bland annat kan ge överrörliga leder, töjbar hud och långvarig smärta. Det finns flera olika typer av EDS och vilka besvär man lider av som patient kan variera mycket. Långvarig smärta utgör dock ett vanligt besvär. Det tar ofta lång tid innan diagnosen ställs och många patienter känner sig missförstådda av vården. Det finns i dagslägetIntroduction - Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an uncommon connective tissue disorder.

Theoretical emphasis lies on the state as t

This master’s thesis examines the museum as a commodity and the consequences that has on the Hallwyl museum.

Advancing digitisation affects all areas of life, including activism and political participation. While the internet has long been seen as a way of democratising society and its systems, in recent years more and more critical voices opposing this view have been raised. One of the main criticisms is that the low-threshold opportunities for participation offered by digital media lead to slacktivist
