CITIES SHOULD BE OPEN AND INCLUSIVE, say municipality officials in Sweden. So why are they not? One answer is norms. Invisible norms are constantly present in our daily lives and affect us by limiting possibilities and narrowing our perspectives and views of each other in ways that can lead to exclusion and discrimination. The norm-critical approach has become a commonly used method to make norms

Since the financial crisis of 2008, actors from a wide variety of backgrounds have stressed the necessity to enhance understanding of basic economic concepts. One core concept – money - has strong implications on issues such as equality, justice, democracy and the environment, performing an essential part in the way societies are constituted around the world. While it should be clear that the chan

I denna uppsats har jag utrett vilka kriterier som uppställs för att fastställa inre väpnad konflikt i svensk rätt. Jag undersöker också hur kriterierna fastställs även i EU-rätten och i den internationella humanitära folkrätten gällande inre väpnad konflikt då båda dessa områden starkt påverkar den inhemska tillämpningen av begreppet. Genom att undersöka framförallt Diakité-domen har jag konstateIn this thesis I have examined with which criteria internal armed conflict is established within Swedish law. I have also examined the EU-law and the international humanitarian law and which criteria is laid down to understand the Swedish law which is strongly influenced by these lawsystems. By examining especially the Diakité case I´ve found that Swedish case law differs from EU case law and the

Uppsatsen behandlar sociala och ekonomiska ojämlikheter som framkommer i svenska hiphoplåtar. Den valda metoden i uppsatsen utgår från Norman Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys då den lägger fokus på den textuella aspekten av en text. Genom att stu-dera diskurser i musiken så studeras presentationen av ojämlikheter. Faircloughs kri-tiska teori kompletteras med Iris Marion Youngs teori om kulturellThis essay discusses the social inequalities presented in Swedish hip hop songs. The elected method used in this essay is Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis as it focuses on the textual aspect of texts. The theoretical approach consists of Fair-clough’s CDA theory and supplemented by Iris Marion Young’s theory of cultural dom-inance which originates from her theory of justice. Young’s

Människans intresse för rymden har alltid varit stort. Man har antagit att andra planetsystem, om de existerar, ser ut som vårt: med mindre stenplaneter i banor närmast stjärnan och gas-samt isjättar i de yttre banorna. Idag känner man till drygt 2 000 exoplaneter, d.v.s., planeter som kretsar kring andra stjärnor än solen. Man vet även att vissa av dem saknar motsvarighet i solsystemet, t. ex., hOver the past two decades many discoveries of exoplanets have been made, which have drawn much attention to extrasolar planetary systems. In this work we study the composition of these systems and search for analogues of the Solar System. We considered the planets in the database at exoplanet.eu. The search of solar-like systems required these planets to be classified. The classification was perf

This dissertation aims to understand the phenomena of informal settlements and internal migration within the context of urban spaces in Mali. The design of the study is a qualitative case design using critical realism as a philosophical approach. Methods used are coding and memoing in accordance with a transcendental realism framework for qualitative research. The study found that there has been a

This essay aims to examine the deacons, that is working at the Church of Sweden, understanding of them self according to power, impotent, duties, exposure and reparation. The main questions for this essay where, how do the deacon perceive the balance of power towards their clients, in what extent do the deacons feel impotent in their work, what do they se as their most important task as a deacon a

The aim of the study is to explore the role the Fairtrade producer is given within texts that contribute to the discourse on Fair Trade in Sweden. A sample of 50 texts coming from news articles published in Sweden 2015-2016 and Fairtrade labelled products sold in Lund in 2016 are examined with the help of discourse analysis and discussed in relation to the concepts of glocalization, agency and eth

Blood samples are extensively used in clinical and forensic fields for genetic material analysis using real-time PCR. Although PCR is a well-established method distinguished for its rapid and sensitive molecular diagnosis, blood components co- purified with nucleic acids have shown to inhibit amplification and detection of PCR products. In this study, IgG and hemoglobin were investigated for their

Even though a large part of the world's coastline consists of rocky shores, it is still a neglected field of study in coastal research. To increase the knowledge of wave transformation processes on these shores is important in order to understand erosional patterns and to manage coastal risks. In this study, the wave transformation processes on and off a rock platform in Victoria, Australia, h

This thesis intends to investigate what are the driving forces behind the shopper's decision-making process in high-end designed tableware products and what is the role of the in-store marketing in the process. The authors of the research have found that there is a lack of knowledge about the consumer’s buying behavior in that segment and therefore it was decided the empirical part of the rese

Den här studien har utförts på en bro i Kiruna, i norra Sverige, som användes till gruvindustrin. En modell av bron skapades med finita elementmetoden i programvaran Abaqus 6.14 för att ta reda på huruvida temperatur- och töjningsvariationerna på bron på grund av klimatets påverkan kan beskrivas. Klimatets temperaturpåverkan på bron är komplex. Under dagtid påverkas bron av strålning från solen ocThis thesis treats a concrete bridge located in Kiruna, in the north of Sweden, which was used for the mining industry. A finite element model has been created with the finite element software Abaqus to find out if it accurately can describe the variation of the temperature and deformation within the bridge over time. The temperature variations and deformations have been studied with respect to cl

Hjärnans informationsbearbetning efter stroke Du drar ditt finger över mobilskärmen, lägger kort märke till glasytans känsla och sedan förflyttas ditt fokus till skärmen. Men hur möjliggör hjärnan denna känselupplevelse? Och vad händer när hjärnan inte längre fungerar som den ska? Hur hjärnan bearbetar den stora mängd information den konstant mottar är fortfarande till stora delar okänt. Att veta How the brain processes all the incoming information it receives is still an unanswered question, and many different theories about how it is done exist. This thesis expands on one of these theories which views the brain's information processing as a widely distributed network phenomena, which contradicts the currently most popular hierarchical theory consisting of areas dedicated to processin

There are several accident investigation methods and they are used in a wide range of fields. However, the methods have not been used so much in the fire accident area. In the present thesis, the methods’ capability to investigate fires and what they result in are explored. In addition, answers are given concerning how important the background information is for their applicability. First, a selec
