The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the fragility of the global food system and its existing inadequacies in achieving food security, providing jobs, and ensuring environmental sustainability on various regimes around the world. Through a qualitative thematic-textual analysis, this thesis uses a case study of New York City to identify themes of actor expectations, either explicit or implicit, on how to
This thesis revolves around rain, more specifically the relationship between urban development and rain. In this part of the world rain is often considered something negative and something that we want to avoid. Architecture has been implemented in order to create structures which protect us from the water falling from the sky. Rain is something we complain about to our friends and colleagues, i
In my thesis, I follow the argument of the authors belonging to the school of decoloniality, who explore the phenomena of coloniality of power outside of historical colonialism. This gives me the freedom to look through decolonial lances into phenomena of undergoing colonization through data. By following the idea that data colonialism is a reality, not just a metaphor, I examined how data colonia
The purpose of conducting this study was to analyze how forced expropriations and the demolitions of informal settlements could fall under the umbrella of “climate change adaptation” measures. Using an actor-network lens and translation theory, these translations are systematically broken down between three distinct levels: global discourse, national discourse, and implementation. As the idea of a
Obtaining DNA sequences is a time-consuming task, which typically requires one or several days for completion. One way of reducing analysis times is to be satisfied with long-range sequence patterns on the order of thousands of base pairs. DNA barcoding is a DNA-characterising technique that works according to this principle. It does so by using fluorescence microscopy to visualise long-range sequ
Tractography is a visualization technique which reconstructs and models neural fibers in the white matter of the brain based on data from diffusion magnetic resonance imaging. It is already used locally to model parts of dominant fiber pathways but global methods are also emerging which aim to reconstruct all the brain fibers simultaneously. In this thesis we have attempted to improve the current
Author: Karin Andréasson and Elin Björk Title: The meaning of recognition. –Romani women’s experiences of education as a way to inclusion. Supervisor: Hanna Wittrock Assessor: Elizabeth Martinell Barfoed The aim of this study was to examine the situation of Romani women in Sweden. More specifically, to investigate Romani women’s experiences of and view on education as a way to increase the inclu
Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka vad lärare inom musik- och kulturskolevärlden har för syn på improvisation samt vilka mål lärarna förväntar sig att deras elever uppnår genom att improvisera. Min metod till detta har bestått dels av en enkät som jag har skickat ut till musik- och kulturskolor runt om i Sverige dels två intervjuer som jag har haft med lärare inom olika instrument. Dessa lärThe purpose of this work is to investigate how teachers in the public music school community view improvisation and what goals the teachers expect their students to achieve through improvising. The methology of my essay partly consists of a questionnaire that I sent out to the various schools around Sweden and partly of two interviews that I have had with teachers in various instruments. These tea
Familjeåterförening är en viktig princip inom både svensk och internationell rätt. I svensk rätt regleras denna princip i utlänningslagen där en möjlighet till uppehållstillstånd på grund av anknytning ges. Vissa bevisrättsliga frågor måste dock uppfyllas för att uppehållstillstånd ska kunna ges. I denna framställning behandlas bevisning angående ställföreträdarskap för barn som söker uppehållstilFamily reunification is an important principle in both Swedish and international law. In Swedish law this principle is coded into the Aliens Act making it possible to get residence permit on the grounds of ties to Sweden. In order to get a residency permit there are a couple of things you have to prove, for example your identity and the existence of a relation to a person in Sweden. If you are und
In this study I present a theoretical model based on Marx´s critique of political economy, specific readings of Marx´s work and the regulation approach. This model will be used to explain long waves and cycles in long term economic growth, creative destruction (i.e the relation between technological leaps and economic crisis) and the ways in which these processes correspond to institutional develo
De senaste åren har den svenska debatten präglats av polarisering rörande migrationspolitiken. Å ena sidan har det nationalistiska pariet Sverigedemokraterna fått mandat motsvarande nästan 13 % av rösterna i valet till riksdagen. Å andra sidan tar Sverige emot mer flyktingar än på mer än två årtionden. Inte sedan första och andra världskrigen har så många människor befunnit sig på flykt samtidigt During the last couple of years there’s been hectic debate and polarisation regarding migration policies. The Swedish police service has been heavily critizised for their methods of trying to locate illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, the right-wing populist political party recieved almost 13 % of the vote for the Swedish parliament, riksdagen. In the latest year, war and civil unrest in a number of
Med en global befolkning som väntas nå 9 miljarder människor 2050 kommer det eventuellt att behöva produceras upptill 70 % mer mat än idag. Detta kommer att kräva ännu mer omfattande användning av gödningsmedel. I kombination med en växande klimatkris kommer behovet av biobränslen också att öka och ytterligare höja efterfrågan på näringsämnen. De flesta konventionella gödningsmedel produceras idagWith world population expected to reach 9 billion people by 2050, global food production might need to rise by up 70 %. This will require even more extensive use of fertilizers than today. In the wake of an emerging climate crisis the need for biofuels will also increase and further exacerbate the nutrient demand. Most conventional fertilizers are today produced in an unsustainable way and mineral
Research on why we use a specific mode of thinking has long recognised the relevance of mental costs. The definition of this cost, however, has either been too abstract to be measured or focusing on metabolic costs, which currently is expensive and difficult to measure. In this experiment, we used a paradigm that measures the behavioural cost of three modes of thinking (rational reflection, emotio
I en värld där UX-standarden höjs av att använda välutvecklade vardagsprodukter, förväntas det bättre och bättre UX Design av alla produkter inom IT-branschen. Man skulle kunna säga att UX Design inte bara är avgörande för den framtida positionen på övervakningskamerabranschen, utan även ett krav för att möta efterfrågan av att det inte längre endast är experter som installerar kameror. UX Design In a world where the UX-standard is rising from the use of well-developed everyday products, better UX Design is becoming more and more expected of all products within the IT-industry. It can not only be argued that an investment in UX Design is critical for the future position on the surveillance camera industry, but also required to meet requirements of the non-experts installing the camera. UX
The EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy has been described as flawed or even non-existing by many critics due to its intergovernmentalist nature. One of the latest incidents illustrating the CFSP's malfunction came about in 2003 after the US decided to engage in a war against Iraq. The failure of the EU to generate a unified stance regarding the decision on how to act in Iraq was put f
Euthanasia is a much controversial matter, especially the part of euthanasia that is called mercy killing. In Sweden so called passive euthanasia is the only form of euthanasia that is not against the law. The question about whether or not other types of euthanasia should be allowed has since the 1990’s created an animated debate involving a lot of people with different types of views, such as med
The goal of this paper is to investigate the changing nature of India’s and Bangalore’s economy. This study will assess India’s change in the allotment of resources between different sectors within the state and country. To investigate the shifts, this paper will disaggregate the economy into three broad sectors, primary secondary and tertiary. It is expected that the much of the success of India
By questioning the foundational driving force of Industrial Design (that being traditional market thinking ; supply versus demand) and replacing it with Kärlek, one accesses a whole new world of possibilities, exceedingly full of potential Kärlek and Industral Design is about all the intangible stuff in life that gets rationalized away because it can't be directly translated into numbers, but,
