Despite its association with violence, drugs and crime the Free Party-movement is increasing in popularity. The purpose of this essay is to examine what attracts women and men to these types of arrangements. Through ethnography and interviews this study examines the subculture of the Free Party-movement and its essence of freedom. This study presents how participants construct boundaries between m

This paper adopts a generative approach to investigating the influence of scope on linearization of affixes in polysynthetic languages. From a typological perspective, polysynthetic languages distinguish themselves morphosyntactically by being non-configurational, using noun incorporation, and by their ability to produce (near) one-word sentences by way of agglutinativity on verbs. These features

För livsmedelsproducenter som riktar in sig på att använda insekter som alternativ proteinkälla och som ingrediens finns det kvalitativa problem som behöver lösas. Att använda insekter som alternativ proteinkälla är att spara på naturresurser eftersom 1 kilo insektsprotein kräver cirka 1,7 kilo föda (FAO 2013). Detta kan jämföras med nötkreatur som kräver cirka sex kilo föda för att få fram 1 kilo

Trångboddhet har länge varit ett omtalat ämne inom svensk bostadspolitik. År 1946 gjordes de första statliga åtgärderna för att motverka trångboddhet, som en följd av de dåliga boendeförhållandena som rådde i Sverige. En av åtgärderna var att en trångboddhetsnorm formulerades, kallad trångboddhetsnorm 1 idag, i syfte att ge vägledning åt befintligt och nytt bostadsbestånd. Enligt trångboddhetsnormFor a long time crowded living has been a well-known topic in Swedish housing policy. In 1946, as a result of bad housing conditions in Sweden, the first actions were taken to fight against crowded living. One of the actions was establishing a housing standard, today known as the housing standard 1, which contained guidelines on how many people should live at the same residence. The purpose of est

Foreign education has been growing constantly for the past decades while research on it has remained scarce. Although research found that migration choices are determined in parts by cultural differences, no study investigated this relationship for foreign education. Therefore, this thesis studies how cultural differences influence bilateral student flows by using a gravity model. Similarly, the c

The potential effects of income inequality have received much attention from researcher and policy-makers in recent years. Income inequality is found by many researchers to have negative effect on health outcomes, crime rates and long-term economic growth. Previous studies have focused mainly on developed countries due to data availability. This study aims at further investigate the hypothesis of

In 2017, an inclusive outdoor area was initiated in Nordvest, Copenhagen, in order to break down the barriers between homeless migrants and residents of the local neighborhood. The presence of homeless migrants on the streets of Copenhagen has spurred much debate and resulted in increasing uneasiness among the domiciled population. This has led to an increase in the criminalization of the behavior

E-handel är ett fenomen som ökar konstant. Detta leder till fler och fler transporter vilket är skadligt för både miljön och för människor. Med denna ökning blir det viktigt med hållbara alternativ för leveranserna. Studiens syfte är att kartlägga och analysera förekomsten av miljövänliga leveransalternativ inom den svenska e-handeln, för att sedan öka förståelsen för komplexiteten kring miljövänl

Järnvägens infrastruktur i Skåne har på många ställen nått sin maximala kapacitet. Södra stambanan mellan Malmö och Hässleholm är i dagsläget en av Sveriges mest belastade järnvägar. Sträckan är viktig för persontrafik, men även godstrafik då järnvägen kopplar samman Skåne med kontinenten och övriga Sverige. Idag är hela sträckan mycket känslig för förseningar på grund av opålitliga anslutande enkThe railway infrastructure in the county of Skåne has in many places reached its maximum capacity. The Southern Main line between Malmö and Hässleholm via Lund is one of Sweden's most densely trafficked lines in all of the country. The stretch is important for both passenger trains as well as freight trains, connecting Skåne to the continent and the rest of Sweden. Today, the line is very sens

Performance research on incubation is a vibrant and complex field, which has received a lot of criticism in recent studies. So far, no dominant theory for incubation performance has evolved and authors request the application of more diverse economic frameworks on incubation to gain improved understanding. As a response, this study takes the fresh perspective of dynamic capabilities and resource-b

The aim of this study was to examine what kind of experience and knowledge counselors in psychiatric units have about issues of loneliness among their patients. This study also examines how counselors work to help socially isolated individuals with severe mental health problems to increase their participation in society. Six qualitative interviews have been conducted with counselors in psychiatri

In the summer of 2014, a violent conflagration erupted in the isolated Palestinian enclave of Gaza. Whilst the fighting was between Hamas and Israel, Palestinian civilians paid the price. The stark disparity in deaths triggered a debate in the West about Israeli tactics, and the media was accused of ‘bias’ by both Israelis and Palestinians. What this controversy reveals is that the argument is abo

The Fansub group refers to a group of people produce and share the translation work of media content based on their interests. Fansub groups are always viewed as a hotly debated topic which involves many different academic research fields, including piracy, fan labour and so on. China has attracted special attention in this topic due to a large number of fansub groups as well as some censorship po

It is known that underpricing is a widely researched topic worldwide by many different aspects, having instigated studies over the last decades to find reasons in order to explain this phenomenon. However, its relation with banks’ commission fees is still a little explored field, possibly due to the lack of data available to test for this hypothesis. This context raises the following research ques

Wikipedia represents ‘the sum of all human knowledge’ and is becoming the authoritative source on the Internet. As a collective work, how exactly are articles created by editors? The aim of the study is to seek the answer by use of participation theory. Instead of considering the active and visible editors, the thesis attempts to shed light on the hidden side of Wikipedia through netnographical an

Conflicting dynamics are taking place in urban areas. Global climate change has necessitated that cities drastically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions while still accommodating rising urban populations. Innovative solutions are needed to remedy this complex problem. This thesis assesses the use of laneway housing as a tool for alleviating these issues. Four main research questions are posed th

In this essay, I uncover and examine a number of different strategies applied toward self-realization in Monica Ali’s Brick Lane (2003). I filter Ali’s modern day bildungsroman through the lens of Virginia Woolf’s understanding of self-realization as a gendered process as well as through Homi K. Bhabha’s postcolonial theory. I argue that Nazneen, the protagonist of the novel, is subject to a binar

Mot bakgrund av det ökade sjukskrivningsantalet som ett resultat av psykisk ohälsa var vi intresserade av den praktiska implementeringen av Work-life balance på ett företag. Syftet med studien var att genom anställdas egna beskrivningar få mer kunskap om vilken innebörd och betydelse Work-life balance har för dem i både arbetsliv och privatliv. En induktiv tematisk analys baserad på nio intervjuerGiven the increased number of people on sick-leave as a result of mental illness, we were interested in the practical implementation of Work-life balance at a company. The purpose of the study was to gain more knowledge about what meaning and importance Work-life balance has for them in both working life and private life through the employees' own descriptions. An inductive thematic analysis b
