In this thesis I examine the experiences of three racialized students regarding their academic environment at Lund University and the student activities surrounding it. The purpose is to add a student␣␣ perspective to a, with international measurements, relatively small Swedish field of anti-­racist studies on academia. Using Sara Ahmed␣s phenomenology, thoughts of Patricia Hill Collins and Bourdi

Global mean temperature has been observed to increase over the last hundred years; this increase is coupled with a global increase of warm extreme indices and a decrease in cold extreme indices. In this study, daily observations of mean and extreme temperatures from ten different weather stations in Sweden during the time period 1961-2010 were analyzed. A warming trend was identified for every dat

The aim of this study was to examine the preliminary works that were published prior to the change of the sickness insurance system in 2008. Specifically, the aim was to find out what the main discourses in the texts were and what characterized them. The study examined three preliminary works; one Official Report from the Swedish government, one government bill that proposed the change in legislat

Behovet av att vidmakthålla och öka demokratin finns. Informationsteknik har möjliggjort nya kommutationskanaler mellan medborgare och makthavare. Kommunikation med hjälp av hemsidor, email, e-tjänster och forum har gjort att information kan överföras på kort tid och med en stor tillgänglighet. E-demokratin ses som en väg till att få fler delaktiga och ökat inflytande i politiska beslut. Med utgån

Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka om det i teorin beskrivs faktorer inom hur man framgångsrikt kommunicerar en förändringsprocess som inte appliceras i praktiken, vilket i så fall kan ligga till grund för att en så stor del av förändringsprocesser inte implementeras. Metod: En kvalitativ tvärsnittsstudie utifrån en deduktiv ansats. Uppsatsens empiriska material insamlades genom semistrukturerObjective: The objective of this dissertation is to investigate whether relevant theory describes certain elements that facilitates communicating a change process successfully, which are not applied in practice and could thus constitute for the large amount of change processes that are never implemented. Method: A cross-sectional study with a deductive and qualitative approach. The dissertations’

Partly attributed to the distinguishing effects of poverty on education and effects of education on poverty, the poverty and education nexus is complex. Since poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon deprivation in education, especially in urban slums, is not caused by one factor alone, but is rather stitched to various other related factors such as family structure, a high conflict neighbourhood

Since 2009, fish have been reported to avoid the coastline of Hanö bay and appear to be in a poor condition. Observations of a browner water led to the assumption that river water may affect the water quality in the coastal zone. Organic matter and iron are known to affect water color and are both found in high concentrations in the main river draining into the bay. In this study I explore availab

Syfte Uppsatsens syfte är att belysa förhållandet mellan varumärkens och konsumenters genusidentitet och brand image för att därmed bidra till teoribildningen kring begreppet brand image. Metod Studien ämnar skapa en förståelse utifrån konsumenters perspektiv snarare än att förklara dem. Den ontologiska ståndpunkten konstruktionism har därför tillämpats tillsammans med ett tolkningsperspektivPurpose The purpose of the study is to illuminate the relationship between brands’ gender identity, consumers’ gender identity and brand image in order to give a theoretical contribute within the brand image area. Methodology Our aim is to create an understanding from a consumer perspective rather than explain it; hence the ontological view constructionism has been applied together with an int

Historiskt sett har människor gjort invändningar grundade på tankefrihet, samvetsfrihet och religionsfrihet i förhållande till obligatorisk värnpliktstjänstgöring. Denna samvetsvägran inom militären är en erkänd rätt i nationella, regionala och internationella människorättsinstrument. I den Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna är denna rätHistorically, objections based on the freedom of thought, conscience and religion have been invoked in relation to compulsory military service. These conscientious objections are protected by national, regional and international human rights instruments. In the European Convention on Human Rights this right is grounded in Article 9 on the freedom of thought, conscience and religion. In Europe, the

The research is situated in the area of Otwock county in central Poland. It is located nearby the river Świder which is protected by a nature reserve. However, environmental protection laws are not fully respected as there is a recurring problem of waste disposal taking place in forests and river. Fly-tipping in the Świder Nature Reserve is a social and administrational problem. On the one hand,

We investigate the difficulty of integrating disparate, heterogeneous systems which have not been designed to work together. Such difficulties may arise from differences in communication protocols or data formats, making an in- tegration effort largely manual and labor intensive. The investigation is done in the context of integrating two different robot systems, one mobile platform running ROS (R
