Much academic literature has explained the success of radical right parties across Europe in the last few decades through the increased importance of the sociocultural, conceptualised as the GAL-TAN, or libertarian-authoritarian, scale. The late rise of the Sweden Democrats, long considered an exception to the rule, as a successful radical right party, has attracted some academic interest and
This thesis is a critical, feminist ethnographic research of one of the most extremist and violent movements that originated from the growing online anti-feminist ideology. Based on a feminist poststructuralist epistemological tradition, this thesis researches the growing Incel movement through feminist cyber-ethnography, netnography and feminist content analysis. The analysis bases on a dataset o
The usage of Artificial Intelligence is gaining popularity in many industries nowadays, triggering professionals to communicate about these disruptive changes in their industries. One industry has been looked at more profoundly: the executive search industry. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain more insight into the exploration of communicated strategies by professionals
Ätandet. Det finaste vi har. Vi firar med mat, sörjer med mat och samlas kring mat. Att äta ihop är ett givet sätt att mötas och en självklar del av livet. Detta i kombination med en generell växande vilja att äta utomhus, av fri vilja, men också påtvingad i och med pandemin, får mig att fundera på möjligheterna för ätande utomhus i staden. Jag konstaterar att ätande ute i stadsmiljö i de flesta f
Research Problem and Objectives: Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change. Over the last years, scholars have discussed that climate change has disproportionate impacts on people as the result of their social, political and economic conditions. Such an argument has led to the inclusion of gender in the climate change debate. However, gender in the climate c
A well-known debate among proponents of natural properties concerns the very nature of such properties. On one extreme, known as Dispositionalism (or the ‘powers’ view), the essence of a property is given by the nomological or causal role(s) it plays. Properties are powers, existentially exhausted by how they affect the actual and potential behavior of their instances. On the other, known as Categ
Warming trends have been associated with drought which induces and heightens agents and factors that cause tree mortality. Remotely sensed observations are increasingly being used in vegetation studies and are obtained from Earth observation satellites. Vegetation optical depth (VOD) is one such product and is obtained from the microwave domain, both passive and active. It measures the degree of a
Myanmar is the world's second-largest producer of opium poppy, the raw material from which heroin and opium are produced. 85% of this opium poppy is cultivated in rural areas of Shan State, where about 1 in 10 households in the villages are directly involved in opium poppy cultivation for the drug industry (MIMU, 2017). The economy of opium poppy permeates social and family dynamics; nonethele
This thesis mainly uses practice theory to expand the current understanding of blind box consumption. Blind box consumption is currently being enthusiastically sought after in China, featuring repeated blind box consumption. To explore how consumers experience repeated blind box consumption and how blind box in turn affects consumers, we apply focus interview, semi-structured interview and netnogr
With the anticipation of creating higher efficiency and quality improvements, market mechanisms have been implemented in various public sectors in Sweden. Since the 1990s, outsourcing has been used in elderly care, and the proportion of private provision of special housing has increased. Regardless of ownership, the public authorities are responsible for ensuring the quality of these homes. When e
Every year, around 3000-6000 mainly low-income farmers, travel from Northeastern Thailand in search for wild berries in the rural parts of Northern Sweden. There has been a process of inclusion of these seasonal migrant workers into the Swedish labour market structure, since around the turn of the millennium. The aim of this study is to explore alternative answers as to why the formal inclusion pr
I denna uppsats undersöks vad det är för historieskrivning som reproduceras genom Nordiska museets instagramprofil. Syftet är att studera hur nationell kulturhistoria presenteras och konstrueras genom representation i sociala medier och hur detta förhåller sig till uppfattningar om historieskrivning och nationell identitet.

Distansarbete har blivit ett faktum till följd av coronapandemin då Folkhälsomyndigheten (2021) rekommenderar att personer som har möjlighet ska arbeta hemifrån. Det har i sin tur bidragit till förändrade arbetsmetoder och arbetsförhållande både på gott och ont. Studiens syfte är att skapa en nyanserad förståelse för upplevelserna med att arbeta på distans och att leda på distans. Genom en kvalita
Can strategic thinking be taught? Randomized experiments were organized to estimate the effect of information nudge on strategic decisions. The information nudge consisted of seeing a short text and a picture with an explanation related to game theory. Test subjects played two games: a p-beauty contest game and a variable-sum game. The main finding was surprising; the treatment was related to answ
Källsortering är en viktig process för att kunna spara på jordens resurser. Genom källsortering kan våra naturresurser komma in i ett kretslopp där de återvinns eller återanvänds. Syftet med denna studie är att genom kvantitativ enkätundersökning ta reda på hur man kan motivera villahushållen i Helsingborg Stad till bättre källsortering och minskade avfallsmängder genom en mobilapp. Som framtida i

Airlines are required to manage safety by implementing a Safety Management System (SMS). These systems are built on experience with quality management and seek to provide a structure for organisations to manage the risks presented by and to their individual operations. Safety is presented by the SMS as a ‘state of being’ arrived after following risk management to a level as low as reasonably pract
Following rapid urbanization and population growth in cities, many recent studies indicate the impacts of microclimate conditions on the energy performance of buildings. However, the methodologies and simulation tools used to evaluate the energy performance of buildings in urban settlements have overlooked the impacts of microclimatic conditions simply by the use of weather station data. This stud
Despite women being the backbone of the agricultural sector in India, the patriarchal agrarian system poses major obstacles and challenges specific to women farmers with consequences well beyond the individual. This research aims to explore how mobile phones can empower rural women vis-à-vis agriculture. Taking the lens of Feminist Theory, the ambition of this research is to study real-life expe
