This study aims to deepen the understanding of mundane consumption by examining hidden meanings in the case of the Milk Uprising, when sharp decreases in the availability of Skånemejerier’s milk in Scania, Sweden, in 2009 ignited a major consumer revolt. We argue that existing literature is inadequate to explain this case where mundane consumption all of a sudden became spectacular, and that such
This Bachelor thesis critically studies how women’s identities are constructed in resolutions put together by the United Nations. The thesis focuses on three Resolutions on Democratic Republic of the Congo, (RES/2053(2012))(RES/2098(2013) and (RES/2147(2014) in order to highlight how women are being portrayed in new mandates given to intervention forces.

The increase in female labour force participation rate can be considered as the most significant labour market trend taken place over the last 120 years in the United States.

Amid a global housing crisis that leaves more than 1.6 billion people inadequately housed, dominant legal and policy frameworks still define “adequate housing” largely in terms of fixed outcomes such as tenure security, affordability, and habitability. This thesis argues that these lists overlook a critical dimension: people’s housing agency, the real freedom to shape their housing situation. Grou
Global water scarcity is increasingly acknowledged as an issue of peace and security. Declining water availability as well as rising freshwater demand increase the likeliness of military action and violent conflicts over transboundary surface and underground freshwater resources. This thesis analyses whether riparian countries suffering from water scarcity are more prone to violent conflict and di
Statues and monuments from previous centuries have gotten new political relevance as they have become targets of demonstrations and iconoclasm during Black Lives Matter protests throughout 2020. The aim of this paper is to examine how visibility is produced by the display of the statue of Edward Colston in Bristol, England (1895) in two different forums; the public and the museum.

Chaperoner – kroppens egna försvarssystem mot neurodegenerativa sjukdomar Parkinsons sjukdom och Alzheimers sjukdom är exempel på neurodegenerativa sjukdomar vars orsak attribueras till aggregeringen av amyloida proteiner. Chaperoner som DNAJB6 har visat sig vara effektiva i att förhindra denna aggregering, och i detta arbete har deras termodynamiska beskrivning undersökts. Proteiner är kroppens bAmyloid proteins are a group of proteins with the ability to form large fibrillar aggregates, identifiable by their cross-β core structure. These aggregates are linked to several different neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease and due to the growing rate of people diagnosed, there is a need to combat these diseases. Aggregation of amyloid proteins is caused

A star’s luminosity increases as it evolves along the main sequence (MS), which inevitably results in a higher surface temperature for planets in orbit around the star. Technologically advanced civilizations may tackle this issue by installing artificial structures – starshades – which can reduce the radiation received by the planet. Starshades, if they exist, are potentially detectable with curre
