Aktivering av arbetslösa har diskuterats brett inom såväl akademin som politiken under de senaste decennierna. Fokus har ofta varit på förändrade kontraktsrelationer mellan arbetslösa och samhället där rättigheter kontra krav på motprestationer har varit i fokus. Tidigare forskning kring erfarenheter av arbetslöshet har ofta framhävt dess negativa aspekter av stigmatisering, skam och social exklud
This thesis intends to explain the change of strategies to address coca plantation in Colombia before and after the 2016 Peace agreement. To do so, I build a theoretical model that draws on securitization/de-securitization theory and ripeness/readiness theories.

The purpose of this project is to study the read performance of transparent database-backed file systems, a meld between two technologies with seemingly similar purposes, in relation to conventional file systems. Systems such as the ARC middleware relies on reading several millions of files every day, and as the number of files increases, the performance suffers. To study the capabilities of a dat
Many companies today have a security system containing of devices such as cameras and other devices with some trigger functionality built in. It’s essential to be able to control all existing triggers in a security system for it to work flawlessly. As the number of triggers increases, the security system in question becomes more complicated to configure. Therefore, making configuration from an eas
Due to computation-intensive nature of LDPC decoders, a lot of research is going towards efficient implementation of their original algorithm (SPA). As "Min-Sum" approximation is basically an overestimation of SPA, this thesis investigates more accurate, yet area efficient, approximations of SPA, to select an optimum one. In a general comparison between main approximation methods (e.g. LUT,
Populism has become a political catchphrase across the world, spanning across the entire political spectrum in various forms. In Spain, the left-wing populist party Podemos is the most significant case, adopting a post-marxist perspective less focused on the economy than orthodox marxism. In light of this, this thesis examines their main economic program through use of Fairclough’s Critical Discou

Den här studien syftar till att undersöka, diskuterar och problematiserar hur politiska nätaktivister, så kallade clicktivister, mobiliserar och kommunicerar under en organisationskris. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i fallet Bokmässan. Organisationens Facebooksida blev en plats för intensiv debatt när det blev känt att den högerpopulistiska tidningen Nya Tider skulle delta på mässan.

Economies have long been based on systems that emphasize production and explain results. In today's increased global competitiveness, the maturing capitalism advocates varied and lasting spatial concentrations as well as country-specific characteristics, National Innovation Systems. Even entrepreneurship has been given more and more attention in economic development and its importance in the i

This thesis investigates the Japanese music industry from a liberal feminist perspective, as academic literature rarely discusses Japanese music – especially niche genres like metal. After pinpointing a gap in the literature on the subject, and after outlining issues in the Japanese music industry, this study sheds light on the reasons that lead Japanese women musicians to thrive outside of major
