This paper examines how the Faroese and their pilot whaling practice, called grindadráp, is affected by global marine pollution.

The district Lillåudden, located next to Lake Mälaren in Västerås is one of many exploited waterfront areas in the 2000s. The flood risk in Mälaren is expected to decrease with the remodeling of Slussen in Stockholm, however there is great uncertainty regarding the relationship between land uplift and sea level rise in the next century due to global warming. This leads to concerns about future flo

In Northern Swedish, personal proper names are traditionally introduced by a morphologically distinct definite article, most known as the preproprial article (PPA). The use of the article in contemporary Swedish dialects is obscure, as research on the topic is scarce and mainly based on antiquated data. For some dialects, PPAs are occasionally said to be restricted to names of people personally kn

This thesis analyses collective memory in Contemporary Asian Societies through historical movies.
