This thesis engages with the role of social movements within development studies by analysing how these movements relate to their context and how LGBTIQ movements contribute to current studies on grassroots’ contribution to development. It analyses how the historical and current context of in Cape Town, South Africa impacts it LGBTIQ movement and its internal dynamics through the multi- institutio

This thesis examines the personal liability of corporate management for environmental damages under Swedish law, focusing on the provisions in the Environmental Code (MB), the Companies Act (ABL), and the proposed Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). The thesis analyzes how these regulatory frameworks interact and how they influence the liability of corporate management in

Forests offer vital ecosystem services but face threats from various stressors, including climate change and insect infestations. The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) poses significant risks to Norway Spruce (Picea abies). Early detection of bark beetle infestations is crucial for damage control but challenging with traditional methods. This study aims to utilize modern remote sens

Currently, many Global South countries face an unprecedented debt crisis with large portions of their spending going to debt repayments. This financial restrain hinders their capacity to address basic needs and ecological challenges, particularly as climate change exacerbates vulnerabilities. To provide a solution for this, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) launched their Nature Bonds Program aimed at

Refugees have been arriving in Europe from North Africa for years, but it wasn't until 2015 that the issue gained widespread public attention. That year saw a significant increase in the number of refugees and migrants, with 911,000 individuals reaching European shores via perilous routes across the Mediterranean Sea, particularly between Italy and Libya, and between Turkey and Greece. This th

Lake Victoria is Africa’s largest freshwater lake by area shared by three countries: Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. The lake supports the economic development of the region through transport and fishing as well as recreational and tourism activities in the three countries. The main ports on the lake are Kisumu, Mwanza, Bukoba, Entebbe, Portbell, and Jinja served by several train ferry services for b

The Andes of Ecuador are known for an outstanding biodiversity but is also a region where the abandonment rate of agricultural land is high, highlighting the need for forest restoration with native species. Here, the germination and growth requirements for propagation of the hummingbird pollinated bush species Salvia corrugata and Macleania rupestris were studied to better understand their suitabi

”It should be of use for the military enlightenment” : a study in History of Knowledge of The Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences publication Handlingar 1797–1825 This thesis presents an analysis of The Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences publication Handlingar between 1797–1825 from the perspective of history of knowledge. The purpose of this study is twofold. Partly to provide a greater un

This paper aims to examine UN Resolution 2272 (2016), the Voluntary Compact on Preventing and Addressing Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (2017) and the Special Measures for Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (2024), with a particular focus on the analysis of 'gender mainstreaming' and 'genderwashing', in the UN's actions to address sexual abuse and power imbalances. Th

The discussion of human activities exploiting natural resources and their environmental impact has gained more traction throughout the past decade. Especially the role corporations play in these developments has caused a shift within corporate strategic considerations. As a result, today, many companies assume increasing responsibility to improve their sustainability performance. Large, internatio

While there have been numerous research papers defining and discussing high technology startup success, there is a lack of unity what the recipe for success is. Due to lack of market orientation being one of the most common reasons for startup failure, combined with the essentiality of having a strong technology base in a high technology environment, there is an interest to study their intersectio

Kristina Sandbergs trilogi om hemmafrun Majs liv med böckerna Att föda ett barn (2010), Sörja för de sina (2012) och Liv till varje pris (2014) är ett stycke episk diskbänksrealism som samtidigt formmedvetet leker med prosakonstens konventioner i syfte att skapa rytm. Denna masteruppsats undersöker, genom en fyrdelad analys, rytmskapande på flera olika nivåer i text. Uppsatsen undersöker trilogins

Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) provide new prospects for studying human neurodevelopment and modeling neurological disease. In particular, iPSC-derived neural cells permit a direct comparison of disease-relevant molecular pathways in neurons and glia derived from patients and healthy individuals. A prerequisite for such comparative studies are robust pr

During the course of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, conditions for life in the city changed drastically. Investments in infrastructure, health and education coincided with economic growth, urbanisation and mortality decline. This dissertation uses newly available macro- and micro-level data to examine the consequences and mechanisms of an important investment in cities: the bui

The present study describes the testing and function of the drop-volume method in the analysis of fetal lung maturity with use of amniotic fluid. Elevated surface tension resulting from a lack of surface-active phospholipids (surfactant) is the primary etiologic defect in the development of respiratory distress syndrome. The drop-volume method quantifies the surface tension of amniotic fluid with

A search is performed for the electroweak pair production of charginos and associated production of a chargino and neutralino, each of which decays through an R-parity-violating coupling into a lepton and a W, Z, or Higgs boson. The trilepton invariant-mass spectrum is constructed from events with three or more leptons, targeting chargino decays that include an electron or muon and a leptonically
