In the search for a better understanding of the fundamental nature of the atom, the development of femtosecond pulsed laser sources has opened up for many applications, in particular in time-resolved physics. For many of those, like the generation of attosecond pulses through high-order harmonic generation, high intensity is needed and the quality of the beam is a critical factor. Most commonly,
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om postkoloniala strukturer påverkar den internationella barnrätten generellt. För att uppsatsens ska fylla sitt syfte har en fallstudie gjorts på CRC (Convention on the Rights of the Child) och ACRWC (African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child) och uppsatsens frågeställning lyder; Påverkar de postkoloniala strukturerna den afrikanska barnrätte
Research comparing the ideological beliefs, radicalization pathways, and extremist rhetoric of both Salafi jihadists and militant white supremacists has become increasingly prevalent over the past decade. However, there has not yet been an in-depth comparison of how those extremists portray the communities they incite violence against. In light of this gap in the existing research, the author of t
In this thesis I argue that one of the missing components in movements working against inequalities and violence is a larger participation of men. I review the theoretical arguments on why it is important for men to join these movements by exploring recent research on the topic of motivations for engagement in gender equality work. I investigate these motivations and situate them in the Swedish co
As cities increasingly implement climate change adaptation (CCA) projects, it is important to assess the potential long-term consequences of urban climate adaptation on socio-economic inequalities. As CCA is still in its infancy, observing long-term impact can be challenging. In this context, the historical study of past flood risk management (FRM) measures provides a useful proxy. This study uses
Denna exjobbsrapport beskriver en studie av alternativa lösningar i konstruktionsprinciper gällande infästning av ubåtsutrustning på mekanisk struktur. Den är gjord i samarbete med SAAB Kockums AB. Studien efterfrågades för att förenkla infästningen av utrustning och minska ledtiderna i designfasen såväl som tillverkning/infästningsfasen. En modern stridsubåt består av en betydande mängd svetsade
Järnvägsnätet i Sverige är över 15000 km långt. Järnvägsnätverket har en viktig roll i transporten av personer och gods i landet. Det är viktigt att övervaka och underhålla detta stora nätverk för att säkerställa god funktion och säkerhet. De senaste årtionden har utvecklingen av interferometriska syntetiska aperturradar (InSAR) och tidsserie tekniker lett till att forskare, geotekniker och ingenjThere is over 15,000 km of track in the Swedish railroad network. This network is vital for the transport of people and goods across the country. It is important that this network is monitored and maintained to ensure good function and safety. In recent decades the development of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Time Series techniques has allowed researchers, geotechnicians and
How publicly traded companies perform with regards to environmental sustainability is receiving increasing attention both by investors and in society in general. Annually released sustainability reports are an important tool for public companies to disclose information relating to their environmental performance. Frequently released as an integrated part of the annual financial report, sustainabil
The Capability Approach (CA) has been increasingly gaining popularity amongst scholars and policy-makers, offering an alternative to the so far predominant position of the GDP as the primary measure of human development. The CA is a normative framework which can be used as a basis to conceptualize and evaluate socio-economic and political phenomena such as inequality and human well-being. One of t
Over the recent years the interest in cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin has increased significantly. The price of Bitcoin has gone up substantially since the end of 2020 and more individual and institutional investors are incorporating Bitcoin to their portfolio. This thesis explores the features of Bitcoin as another financial asset, specifically compared to Gold as Bitcoin has been referred to as the
This thesis demonstrates how neoliberal urbanism has unrolled in the context of the Danish non-profit housing sector, using the case of Copenhagen neighbourhood Tingbjerg as a case study. Arguing that this process has significantly altered the relations of power within the neighbourhood, it further investigates the mode of resistance emerging locally as a response. Danish non-profit housing has be
Bakgrund och problemformulering: Digitaliseringen har förändrat förutsättningarna för alla detaljhandlare och då även för sporthandlarna. Detta påverkar arbetarnas roll i den fysiska butiken samt vad som krävs av företaget för att fortfarande hålla sig konkurrenskraftiga. Det finns inte fördjupade studier på sportbutiker och avsaknaden finns i hur företagen och framförallt personalen arbetar med k
Making choices can be hard, even more so if they are of a moral nature. Since the initial phrasing, utilitarianism has claimed that the morally correct choice is that which maximises utility. This phrasing might seem unproblematic for some. However, I have found there to be a certain problem with such a phrasing. This problem is mainly with “hard cases”, i.e., cases where the utilitarian cannot, w
Nanoparticles are widely used in biotechnology, yet their toxicity is still being investigated. Determining the toxicity of nanoparticles in vitro and how to reduce it, can facilitate their implementation in vivo. Magnetomotive ultrasound imaging is an emerging technique where magnetic nanoparticles are used as contrast agents in combination with a magnetic field to visualise tissue. The magnetic
There is currently a need in Spain for monitoring the effects of the environmental flows. The use of eco-hydrological relationships to design both environmental flows regimes and the monitoring programs that track their effects on riverine ecosystems is highly recommended. Fishes are the biological element more sensitive to flow regime changes, thus the relationship between fishes and flow dynamic
This study explores the boundary of due diligence as state obligations in dealing with domestic violence mainly based on the formulation and application of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (the Istanbul Convention). It compares Istanbul convention which exclusively aims at protecting female victims against all forms of violen
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a scientific interest in how certain measures of disease control, such as lockdowns, affects different individuals and different communities. Through a queer-phenomenological approach, the purpose of the study is to offer queer insights of lockdown as a measure of disease control by exploring how queer people in London orientate and experienc
This essay explores the anti-gender ideology movement in the case of Poland’s sex education bill aiming to prohibit comprehensive sexuality education for minors. This is done with the catholic conservative legal organisation and foundation Ordo Iuris as research subject who are advocates for the bill on restrictive sexuality education and are making efforts to influence the politics on both nation
This thesis explores the intersections between social science and filmmaking practice through engaging with community filmmaking practice in Sweden. The main area of interest is to explore how feminist theory and methodology in social science can inform discussions in documentary filmmaking practice, both aiming to transform the oppressive narratives and empower voices from marginalized and minori
I dagens livliga skogsdebatt möts olika åskådningar och synsätt på skogen. Också under antiken både brukades och skyddades skogar. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka antika perspektiv på skogen, genom att analysera synsätt på skogen i Vergilius Georgica. Det är ett didaktiskt diktverk som beskriver människans bruk av naturen. Relevanta passager togs fram ur källtexterna genom textsökningar. Dessa k
