Major crises create quite visible and serious problems for firms and regions. However there is a more or less continuous process of structural change going on, not least due to a globalizing economy. This less often highlighted process poses a number of challenges to regions and local communities. When firms or whole industries are heavily hit by change, windows of opportunity open up. In this pap
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det enteriska nervsystemet (ENS) utgör mag-tarmkanalens eget nervsystem, ibland refererat till som “the second brain” då det uppvisar stora likheter med det centrala nervsystemet (CNS). Rubbningar i ENS ger bland annat störningar i tarmens motorik. Denna avhandling handlar om två sjukdomar i mag-tarmkanalen hos barn som bägge är uttryck för en rubbad motorik; HirschspruGastrointestinal motility disorders are common in childhood and in this thesis we look at two of them, i.e. Hirschsprung´s Disease (HD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in five different studies. HD is a congenital disease characterized by an abscence of ganglion cells in myenteric and submucous ganglia, most commonly in the distal part of the large bowel. In Paper I, we have studied t

Arbitration is generally viewed as a form of dispute resolution more or less removed from the control of states. Such a view is based on the notion that this form of dispute resolution rests upon an agreement between parties. Without questioning the notion of arbitration as resting upon an arbitration agreement, it can be argued that there also is significant state involvement. Such involvement in
The purpose of this study has been to explore the impact of everyday life and the family on women's political participation in India. This has been done by analysing the political life stories of nine women who have all been elected to the local governance system, Panchayati Raj, in the South Indian state of Karnataka.

This bachelor thesis main ambition is to develop a theoretical foundation that can provide plausible explanations to the relation between tourism and lack of political liberalization in less-developed and middle-income countries. The thesis identifies a number of unique features of tourism as a sociological and commercial phenomena. This conceptualization of tourism paves the way for the formulat
The main aim of this thesis is to introduce a normative perspective to surveillance studies. I examine how the use of videocameras or CCTV-systems can create a social sorting and, then, try to answer why it ought to be reconstructed based on a normative study. For the empirical analysis I use Foucaults theory about the panopticon, maintained by the psychological subjection of the common citizen i

Denna studie ämnar öka kunskapen om hur kommunikativ likriktning mellan institutioner upprätthåller etablerade föreställningar om hållbar utveckling i samhället. Från ett socialkonstruktionistiskt perspektiv analyseras hur FN konstruerar diskurser kring hållbarhet i Agenda 2030 samt om dessa diskurser reproduceras i Helsingborgs stads hållbarhetskommunikation. Vidare undersöks hur hållbarhetsdiskuThe aim of this study is to increase the knowledge of how communicative standardisation between institutions upholds established notions about sustainable development in society. With a social constructionist approach, we analyse how sustainability discourses are constructed within the Agenda 2030, and if these discourses are reproduced in the sustainability communication of the city of Helsingbor

The aim of this thesis is first to contribute to the theorising of the so-called ‘social remittances’. This entails an attempt to put together the reasons that qualifies the flow of social goods from migrant destinations to sending communities as remittances, as well as an endeavour to contribute to definitional clarifications on what constitutes the different natures, levels and types of these re
