Myths, religious beliefs, and symbols are crucial components of ethnicity. PKK as a nationalist separatist armed organization- intensively uses them to construct a Kurdish identity which is compatible with its ideology as well as its objectives to mobilize Kurds and to galvanize their support. This thesis seeks to describe how PKK –as a militant organization- has instrumentalised Islamic related t
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Vad har berget i Romeleåsen varit med om? Jordskorpan är uppbyggd av ett antal plattor. Vid plattgränser under oceanerna bildas ny skorpa av magma som tränger upp. Oceanplattan kan inte öka i storlek. Där oceanplattan möter en platta med kontinental jordskorpa tränger oceanplattan under kontinentalplattan (subduktion, t. ex. Anderna). Vid kollisionen dras sedimeRomeleåsen is the south-westernmost exposure of the Fennoscandian Shield in Sweden. Fennoscandia forms a part of the East European Craton and was extended to the south-west during prolonged episodes of accretion during the period 1.95-1.55 Ga. Metamorphic reworking took at least place during the Hallandian/Danopolonian orogeny at 1.47-1.38 Ga and during the Sveconorwegian orogeny 1.10-0.92 Ga. Hig
The study explores to what extent recent changes (in the last decade) in the medical environment impact physicians’ identities. It has been conducted in Northern Italy (Emilia Romagna Region), interviewing 16 doctors between specialists and general practitioners and linking their insights with the literature. Our aim was to relate the de-professionalization and proletarianization debate to an iden
Cosmopolitan theory has long argued that the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. Through borderless phenomena such as climate change, and through globalizing processes such as cross-border mobility and the global market, we are becoming increasingly aware of their social and political impact as global news and debates fill our social media channels. To this end, cosmopolitan theory argu
October 7th 2023 a terror attack on an Israeli music festival took place. This would subsequently escalate the conflict between Israel and Palestine, with many calling it a genocide of the Palestinian people. This thesis investigates how pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Lund and Malmö following October 7th can be understood in relation to police strategies and Anne Nassauer’s theory about situati
This thesis examines queer community archives (QCAs) and their governing documents in order to gain a better understanding of how they define themselves, their work, and the communities they serve. Focusing on archives associated with queer, leather, BDSM, and fetish communities, specifically The Queer Movement Archives and Library (QRAB) and the Leather Archives & Museum (LA&M), it examin
Digitala D2C-företag i traditionellt fysiska branscher kan etablera en tydlig nisch, men möter nya utmaningar när affärsmodellen ska skalas till fler kundsegment. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur ett svenskt digitalt D2C-företag inom målarfärgsbranschen kan vidareutveckla en validerad, nischad och digital affärsmodell för att nå nya kundsegment på den svenska marknaden. Studien genomförs som enDigital D2C companies in traditionally physical retail can establish a clear niche, but face new challenges when the business model is scaled to broader customer segments. This thesis explores how a Swedish company in the paint industry can further develop a validated, niche-oriented, and digital business model to reach new customer segments in the Swedish market. The study is conducted as a case
Med en krympande industriell arbetsstyrka och den snabba utvecklingen inom artificiell intelligens, börjar många företag rikta blickarna mot intelligenta humanoida robotar för att understödja dem i deras verksamhet. Denna uppsats utforskar dagens landskap av humanoida robotar och skisserar hur Saab Naval kan påbörja processen av att integrera dem i deras skeppsvarvsproduktion. Nya framsteg och nuvWith a shrinking industrial workforce and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, many companies are starting to look toward intelligent humanoid robots to aid them in their operations. This thesis explores the current landscape of industrial humanoid robots and outlines how Saab Naval can start the process of integrating them into their shipyard production. Recent advancements and curre
Much of the technology that makes robots reliable, human friendly, and industrialroboticsadaptable for numerous applications has emerged from manufacturers of industrial robots. With an estimated installation base in 2014 of about 1.5 million units, some 171000 new installations in that year and an annual turnover of the robotics industry estimated to be US$ 32 billion, industrial robots are by fa
The existence of impartial and independent courts is a cornerstone of the success of the European project. The recent renaissance of “illiberal States” jeopardises the application of the rule of law and risks destroying the foundations of the EU legal order. In 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) began developing two new lines of case-law. Firstly, the CJEU found itself to be c
Endosymbiotic organelles of eukaryotic cells, the plastids, including chloroplasts and mitochondria, are highly integrated into cellular signalling networks. In both heterotrophic and autotrophic organisms, plastids and/or mitochondria require extensive organelle-to-nucleus communication in order to establish a coordinated expression of their own genomes with the nuclear genome, which encodes the
There is no alternative! Margaret Thatcher once proclaimed in order to defend neoliberalist reforms and – implicitly – the capitalist regime. But if one doesn’t agree with Thatcher’s definition of the situation and her (and her many followers’) subsequent analysis, what viable options does one really have? Is it possible to come up with an empirically grounded alternative to the dominant modes of
Full-field transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) is a well established technique, available at various synchrotron beamlines around the world as well as by laboratory benchtop devices. One of the major TXM challenges, due to its nanometre-scale resolution, is the overall instrument stability during the acquisition of the series of tomographic projections. The ability to correct for vertical and hori
In order to study the characteristics of 3D gas-liquid interfaces, flow pattern transitions, and void fraction in mini tubes, virtual multi-vision experiments and numerical simulations are conducted in a 5.16 mm horizontal tube with air as the dispersed phase and water as the continuous phase. Air and water flow velocities range from 0.024 to 12.330 m/s and from 0.039 to 0.942 m/s, respectively. A

‘Modern astronomy’ was introduced to Siam (present-day Thailand) when the Belgian Jesuit missionary-astronomer Father Antoine Thomas carried out astronomical observations in 1681 and 1682 in order to determine the latitude and longitude of Ayutthaya. Three years later a contingent of French Jesuit missionary astronomers observed a total lunar eclipse from Lop Buri, which marked the start of an int
Knowledge on the factors influencing driver speed-behaviour, the relationship between speed and traffic safety and means to influence speed behaviour is systematised. Expert judgements and the high proportion of injury accidents show that improved speed adaptation has the largest safety potential in the following situations: - Road surface-, visibility and weather affected situations (e.g. slipper
