Image schemas, mimetic schemas, and the development of Swedish children’s gestures
Language and gesture are two semiotic systems that work together in close integration during communication. One issue in particular, that of image schemas, has been studied in relation to gestures, though most often in adult gesture and communication (Williams, forthcoming; Cienki, 2013; Mittelberg, 2006, 2018). This contrasts with mimetic schemas, which are thought to be more specific structures

"We Think Nothing Like This Can Happen Here": Reception, Perception and Response to Risk Communication Among Refugees and Immigrants in Sweden
Risk communication is recognised as an essential component of crisis preparedness, enabling people at risk to take informed decisions to protect themselves. Research has shown that foreign-born people including refugees and immigrants to a lesser extent than others are reached by the information and are less prepared for crisis, making them particularly vulnerable in crisis situations. Employing a
Impoliteness in language and gesture: a cross-cultural study of impolite behaviour in Russian and Swedish
Impoliteness has been considered as a marginal phenomenon for scientific research for some time, although as a type of behaviour it has always been around us. The field of impoliteness studies is currently growing, but there are clear gaps in the research that concerns the conventionality of expressions, different semiotic systems through which impoliteness is expressed and cross-cultural comparis
Energy balance closure, water balance, carbon exchange, and water use efficiency : observed and modeled outcomes for a managed, hemiboreal forest in Southern Sweden
The claims for the potential of boreal and sub-boreal forests to combat negative effects of climate change have been substantial with over half of Earth’s primary forests found within boreal and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Given the likely occurrence of more extreme climate events in the future, ascertaining a better understanding of how climate effects, such as profound fluctu

Reconstructing the nation-brand from below: Analysis of how a humanitarian organization challenge the consistency of Swedish brand in a controversial film
A unified nation brand is crucial to create a positive reputation abroad. In the age of new public diplomacy, the emergence of non-state actors has considerably diversified the narratives of nation branding; this diversity contributes to challenging the consistency of the nation brand. Meantime, scholars argue that communicating and constructing a positive national identity domestically is essenti

Sense of Belonging among First-Generation Migrants: Educational Reproduction of Inequality in Sweden
In a globalized world, schools are becoming more diverse. Research has shown that feelings of belonging are important for the success of migrants in school. Mostly quantitative research has been carried out, however, and it has shown a relationship between belonging and educational achievement, academic motivation, and health-related issues. For this thesis, I use previous research as a stepping s

Setting the stage for news engagement : a case study of news audiences in Sweden
How audiences engage with news has not always gotten a lot of attention in academic and industry research; and, even then, it is often studied in terms of exposure and interaction. This does not fully capture the dynamism and multidimensionality of this phenomenon; and industry attempts to apply market principles to engagement risks depoliticizing and reducing it to economic values. Rather than po
“Recoding Gender”: The intersectional experience of female immigrant programmers in the Swedish IT sector
Computer programming is historically constructed as a male domain, and the underrepresentation of women and other marginalised minorities is recognised as a global phenomenon in most countries of the world. However, limited attention has been paid to women who choose to enter this field. The lack of intersectional and cross-national analysis on the relationship between gender and technology remain
