The thesis aims to understand if seed saving practiced by oppressed small-scale farmers and peasants who are affiliated with Navdanya can be seen as a technology of resistance against the dominant agri-food industrial paradigm. Another aim is to find out how political and cultural meanings are attached to seed saving. It also aims to challenge this aforementioned paradigm. The inquiry is exemplifi
”Ordet klang är tomt i sig om det inte vibrerar någonstans hos personen i fråga” Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilka beröringspunkter som finns i fyra sångpedagogers förhållningsätt och tankar kring klang och sound i sångundervisning. Insamling av dataunderlag till resultatet har skett genom en kvalitativ intervjumetod med halvstrukturerade samtal som utgångspunkt. Därefter har resultatenTitle: The word timbre in itself doesn’t mean anything if it’s not incorporated with the individual person. This study aims to examine similarities between four vocal coaches regarding their approach to the work with tone colour, the timbre in their students’ voices. This study is based on a qualitative interview method with semi-structured interviews as a starting point. The recorded interviews w
In Africa there are approximately 91,5 million women and girls who have been subject to the traditional practice of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C). Mothers subject their daughters to FGM/C as an act of love as society regards this to be the process a girl becomes a woman; furthermore a non-circumcised woman is deemed as unfit for marriage. This perception stems from deeply rooted social
Mobile and wireless data are in increasing demand worldwide. New trends such as the Internet of Things paradigm and the Smart City paradigm describe scenarios comprising thousands of devices all exchanging information amongst themselves wirelessly --- or through the WAN to another device, possibly connected to another WLAN. Operators and radio engineers are faced with the problem of designing effi
Lone-actor terrorism is a growing threat in Western European countries as the numbers of lone-actor terrorist attacks have multiplied over the last 15 years. However, knowledge on this type of terrorism is insufficient. This current study evaluates whether there are any common personal, social, psychological, and operational characteristics among lone-actor terrorists (LATs) and whether any profil
Despite extensive policy, regulation, and activism, heteronormativity and cisnormativity, and other forms of oppression, flourish in schools. Based on interviews with educators in schools, queer social movement organizations, school boards and teachers’ unions in Vancouver and Toronto, Canada, this chapter analyzes the strategies of queer educational justice work in schools. Working with Gilbert’s
As the Danish National School of Performing Arts merged nine schools into one institution, the momentum for establishing a national, state-funded education in performance art was missed and the continuation of “traditional” profiles within performing arts education was kept. As such, the future of performance art can be seen as a kind of “supplementary technique” to otherwise acting- and text-base
The world is suffering from increasing weather extremes caused by climate change of which the building sector is a major contributor. There is however a large reduction potential in the sector and circular economy has received increased attention both within research and practice. This study explores circular futures within the building sector through the futures studies method of backcasting. Two
The main purpose of this brief reflection is to examine the relationship between (a) Muslim communal values of neighborliness, mutual support and responsibility for those living together in a defined, spacial community and b)the built environment and structures of mosques and community gathering spaces, with a focus on how the existence of such a built environment and infrastructure helps to devel
Background: Sexual violence is widespread in war-torn North Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Timely access to care is crucial for the healing and wellbeing of survivors of sexual violence, but is problematic due to a variety of barriers. Through a better understanding of care-seeking behaviours and factors influencing timely access to care, programmes can be adapted to
Denna avhandling undersöker skapandet och omvandlingen av offentliga platser i Hongkong, en stad som är genomsyrad av nyliberala ideal och som under senare år har kännetecknats av betydande försämringar när det gäller demokratiska rättigheter och friheter. Som ett resultat av den nyliberala kapitalismens expansion har kommodifieringen av det urbana rummet inte bara förvärrats utan också blivit merThis thesis explores the production and transformation of public spaces in Hong Kong, a city that is steeped in neoliberal ideals and has seen substantial deterioration in terms of democratic rights and freedoms in recent years. As a result of the expansion of neoliberal capitalism, commodification of urban space has not only exacerbated, but also become more far-reaching and indiscriminate. While
In the last decades shopping’s spatiotemporal manifestations are changed radically in conjunction with proliferation of car usage, internationalization of retail sector, and construction of out-of-town malls (Wrigley & Lowe, 1996; Mansvelt, 2005; Kärrholm & Nylund, 2011; Aslan & Fredriksson, 2017). However, the main empirical focus laid mostly on the mainstream and spectacular geograph
This paper identifies a challenging situation in the architectural education. It discusses the case of mixing two levels of students, working in a group albeit with the same assignment in one studio. Precisely, having the first and the second year students of Architecture in one design studio at Lund University/ Sweden. The paper examines this situation from four different didactic perspectives, s
Shared ground loops (SGLs) combine shared ground heat exchangers with distributed heat pumps across multiple properties and may offer a route to decarbonise heating where individual heat pumps or heat networks are not feasible. SGLs can be installed in homes and buildings with limited outside space for a heat pump or insufficient demand density to support a heat network. To make the most of potent
Landscape change across scale and time is a process characterized by loss and preservation, alongside both known and unknown gains and uncertainties. In this work, we navigate these complexities as we recount the layered history of Bungenäs, Sweden—a post-productive industrial landscape rich with stories of use. Drawing on the work of Bartolini and DeSilvey (2020;2018), we explore the concept of l
