En viktgräns för grundläggande respekt: En intervjustudie om fat shaming och fettförakt

Aktuell statistik som kartlägger svenskars levnadsstandard visar en betydande ökning av övervikt och fetma bland befolkningen. Hög kroppsvikt förknippas med medicinska åkommor såväl som psykosociala problem. Den sociala miljön kring överviktiga individer präglas av exkludering, kränkningar och förlöjligande, dessa beteenden benämns som fat shaming och de utgör en samhällsstruktur av fettförakt. De

Huvud utan hår: Unga män och håravfall

Över 70% av alla män kommer bli helt eller delvis skalliga under sina liv, men trots detta finns försvinnande lite samhällsvetenskaplig forskning kring hur män upplever eller hanterar håravfall. Syftet med detta arbete är att få en bättre förståelse för ämnet utifrån ett antropologiskt perspektiv, genom att svara på hur unga män som börjat tappa håret tidigt upplever hårförlust och skallighet, sam

As a solution to how to rebuild democratic systems is currently unclear, this thesis looks at the case of Colombia and the national protests (colloquially referred to as El Paro) that began in April 2021. The nation, suffering from increasing political polarisation, rising poverty rates and crippling structural

Kollektivtrafik i mindre orter och landsbygd – En fallstudie av två skånska kommuner

Stad och landsbygd beskrivs ofta som raka motsatser och i den framställda dikotomin mellan stad och land skildras ofta större tätorter som vinnare mot en avfolkad landsbygd. Tätorter och landsbygder runt om i landet har olika geografiska, demografiska och sociala förutsättningar. Det går därför inte att säga att det sker en positiv utveckling för alla tätorter eller en negativ utveckling för hela Urban and rural are often seen as each other’s complete opposites, were larger urban settlements are often presented as the winners against depopulating rural areas. While this is not always true, there is in many places an ongoing deterioration of public transport in areas with lower population density where resources are allocated to urban areas with a larger demand. This and other climate measu

Categorical inequality in homelessness – How has the Neoliberalisation of housing policies in Sweden affected homelessness in Malmö from social workers’ perspectives?

During the 90s, the Swedish government implemented a series of neoliberal housing policies in search of a wayout for the economic crisis, including demolition of the ministry of housing, deregulations and disincentivising housing construction, which has created decline in housing production and privatisation of municipal housing companies. The neoliberal policy reform was attributed to the shortag

Gas in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy in Large Geometries: Towards Monitoring Oxygen in Adult Lungs

Hela livet är våra lungor livsviktiga organ. För nyfödda såväl som för äldre patienter så finns ett kliniskt behov av säker och kontinuerlig lungövervakning. Några av dagens vanliga metoder för att undersöka lungorna, såsom röntgen och datortomografi, ger endast en ögonblicksbild samt medför joniserande strålning. En ny teknik för klinisk lungmonitorering är nu på frammarch: GASMAS. GASMAS står föGAs in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy (GASMAS) is a technique to study free gas inside strongly scattering bulk-materials. GASMAS is successful in safely measuring oxygen in lungs of neonates, with low-power tuneable diode-laser spectroscopy at 760 nm. Because a similar need of lung monitoring exists in older patients, this work explores how GASMAS can be scaled up for larger geometries.
