The present thesis conducts a case study that focuses on the complex TV drama Killing Eve and digital queer female fans of Killing Eve regarding their understanding of identities and queer relations represented in the series and their (dis)engagement with the series. This study draws on the tripartite frameworks of complex TV drama, LGBTQ+/queer studies, and digital fandom. The main objective of t
The main finding of this research is that it is unrealistic to expect that it is possible to create one common European understanding of the boundary between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour; it is only possible to achieve one common European just culture policy if there is one common European understanding of the term 'gross negligence' as introduced in The Regulation. The importance
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is quickly moving from mere imagination to material reality. As I write, billions of dollars are flowing into this nascent industry from government, philanthropy, and venture capital; this thesis thus attempts to grasp history as it flies. By employing a Marxist theoretical approach, including concepts like the real subsumption of nature and the spatiotemporal fix, I d
This study is concerned with understanding the impacts of the changed incentive structure introduced with the repartition policy in 19th century colonial Greenland. Using archival research, this study shows how the policy was designed to increase industrious behavior and caring for one another by introducing monetary incentives. By transcribing data on catch yield, it is for the first time possibl
Rwanda has experienced an increase in the frequency of riverine floods since the mid 2000s, and the future impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle is uncertain. Flood hazard analysis is one tool used to reduce flood risks; the analysis is often based on models which requires hydrological and meteorological data. New hydrological measurement stations have been installed at select locatio
Uppsatsen är en explorativ studie om hur det går till när hudvårdsprodukter marknadsförs på svenska livsstilsbloggar. Med hjälp av kritisk diskursanalys (CDA) undersöker jag vilka strategier som skribenter på svenska livsstilsbloggar använder när de marknadsför hudvårdsprodukter, samt vilka diskurser som etableras och utnyttjas i blogginläggen. Fokus ligger dels på hur skribenten bygger upp relati
This thesis examines the intersection between the cultural sector and international development in Mozambique, focusing on the practical implications of the increased attention given to the sector and the depoliticization processes that have emerged. Three research questions are addressed: - What are the practical implications of the increased attention given to the cultural sector by internationa
During the last decades the spread of the invasive species round goby, Neogobius melanostomus, has largely increased in the Baltic Sea affecting the ecosystem, biodiversity and species interactions. Round goby originates from the Caspian Sea and has most likely been introduced multiplied times via ships ballast water to different areas of the Baltic Sea. The establishment has had both negative and
This qualitative case study provides a communication-driven perspective into the functioning of teleworking in the post-Covid Danish work society. Teleworking, performing office work outside of the conventional office space by using ICTs, became part of the modern-day work arrangement of many employees, mainly due to the severe effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the world economy. This study’s ai
The prevailing global climate transition is incentivized to occur in a short period of time. Hydrogen is considered a pivotal element towards a renewable energy system. However, the physical and chemical properties of hydrogen give rise to the risk of fire and explosion. This risk must be evaluated as hydrogen becomes increasingly integrated into society. This paper aims to investigate whether the
During the last few decades, satellite remote sensing has proven to be an important non-invasive method for archaeological research in order to detect ancient sites and manage existing ones. Archaeologists have tried in the recent past to embed Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and image processing techniques in their research as non-destructive approaches, which can allow a wider perception o
The poetry of Edith Södergran had a major influence on literary modernism in Scandinavia. The poems, and the person behind them, continue to intrigue. The authorship is divided into three periods; the second period is associated with the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche. In addition, several of Södergran’s earlier poems have been interpreted as inspired by Arthur Schopenhauer. In this thesis, I ex
Providing adequate climate finance, meaning funding for mitigation, adaptation or loss and damage, has been very high on the global policy agenda recently. The political economy and ecology behind it are much more complex and morally multidimensional than the mainstream finance world likes to present it though, which results in grave colonial injustices, international debt crises, deepened global
The figure of scenarios is frequently used in present-day climate science and plays a prominent role in the architecture of the IPCC Reports. In this work, I undertake a philosophical and critical investigation into the ontological, epistemological and temporal modalities of the figure of scenario. I do so by engaging with the term’s supra-scientific origins, with the history of its semantic alter
The question whether transnational activities can be continued by migrants' children, the second-generation, has been a discussed topic within the field of transnationalism. Being born into one cultural setting while raised in another calls into question the extent of their involvement in diverse transnational activities. This generation of immigrants, more than any other generation, need scho
Bakgrund: Genomförd litteraturöversikt berör sjuksköterskans erfarenhet av att tidigt identifiera patienter med sepsis samt vilka faktorer som påverkar identifieringen. Sepsis är ett globalt problem där 11 miljoner dör årligen. Sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll i den tidigare identifieringen då det ofta är hen som träffar patienten i form av triagering på akutmottagning eller ser patienten på
This research explores the cultural representation, identity, and practices of young Vietnamese Americans through TikTok. The primary argument is that social media plays a critical role in facilitating cultural exchange and cultivating a sense of belonging for young immigrants living far away from their ancestral homelands. The study focuses on the main theoretical discussions on culture in mediat
As more and more urban areas are planning and responding to climate change there is a need to understand the role that local action is having at the national and international level. The Paris Agreement called for a global goal on adaptation but in practice aggregating progress on adaptation is hard to achieve. Effective monitoring, evaluation, reporting, and learning systems are crucial to inform
When Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed in the Israeli-occupied West Bank in 2022, news of her death made headlines worldwide. She was a prominent broadcast journalist for Al Jazeera, who was covering an Israeli military raid when she was shot in the head and killed. Palestinians and Al Jazeera were quick to hold the Israeli military responsible for her killing, but in We
In an era of climate emergency, considerations of justice are increasingly gaining traction. The unequal exposure to climate vulnerabilities across the European landscape has created a North-South gap in adaptation, which is examined through the critical cases of Sweden and Greece. Drawing upon Manners’ (2002) Normative Power Approach to climate justice, the research speculates the EU’s promot
