Due to the changing landscapes of higher education, a large body of research has studied how scholars make sense of academic identities and careers. Yet, little is known about how academics actually ‘work’ on their identities to navigate normative demands and complex career structures.

Widespread discrimination across much of sub-Saharan Africa against persons with same-sex sexuality, including recent attempts in Uganda to extend criminal sanctions against same-sex behavior, are likely to have profound effects on this group’s health, health care access, and well-being. Yet knowledge of the prevalence of same-sex sexuality in this region is scarce.

Rural perspectives in political debates are often dismissed as sentimental, narrowly self-interested, and irrational. This paper reports findings that challenge this view. Applying a deliberative systems approach, it examines how rural perspectives are articulated in Swedish public discourse. It identifies four coherent discourses that promote distinct political values: economic growth, rural cons

Recently we have called for the broadening of the theoretical base in order to understand the social and other contexts of material culture items such as pottery (Pikirayi and Llndahl, 2013). The challenges encountered by archaeologists remain the huge ceramic assemblages, which are however, central in defining group identities in southern African Iron Age studies. but whose analyses Is always r

The thesis describes and analyzes individuals' experiences of reduced working hours with retained salary, as well as how this could potentially enable an improved work-life balance. It also investigates how participants experienced pros and cons with reduced working hours. The topic is relevant due to the ongoing societal debate about whether the current 40-hour workweek in Sweden shoul

Due to intercultural encounters becoming more and more frequent in times of globalization, the importance of successful intercultural conflict management has increased. In intercultural conflict, cultural differences in conflict management styles (CMS) can lead to misunderstandings and poorer negotiation outcomes. However, it is yet to be understood if and how individuals overcome CMS discrepancie

Over the last five to ten years there has been a re-emergence of ‘the 1980s’ in western popular culture. From music and fashion, to television and film, the decade has made a sustained and emphatic return across many countries. But despite this widespread socio-cultural prominence, ‘the 1980s’ trend has yet to be analysed from a political perspective. Influenced by the ‘aesthetic turn’ movement in

This paper investigates to what extent Swedish-English code-switching and recent English loanwords occur in the printed and online versions of five newspapers and magazines. The newspapers and magazines that were included are Aftonbladet, Amelia, Elle, Café, and Helsingborgs Dagblad. The study shows that English was the most common in the printed media, while the hypothesis was that it would be mo

Abstract At face value, Nike’s Girl Effect campaign and Coke’s 5by20 project appear promising, with no potential complexities or ambiguities. However, analysts of corporate-led development have argued that such approaches to development draw on colonial stereotypes of girls and women as sexually and culturally constrained. This thesis aims to investigate these representations of girls and women in

The goal of this thesis has been to develop and evaluate a proposal as how to integrate a new motor system for the top horizontal roller of an ASSA ABLOY weather shelter. This required changes to the current system, both in hardware and software. The main challenge was that the old motor could be back driven by the system, and the replacement motor could not. Thus, a solution where the new moto

The New Economic Partnership for Africa’s Development constitutes a new initiative to development, created by the African states themselves with an ultimate goal to be more integrated in the global economy on more equal terms and thereby reduce poverty within the continent. NEPAD sees democracy, good governance and human rights as necessary for sustainable development. This thesis examines the ass

A major theme of the current “Haitian turn” has been what I call a “universality-analysis”, which stresses that the Haitian Revolution, in contrast to the American and the French, once and for all abolished slavery. The chapter investigates the intervention into the Haitian Turn by two scholars specialized in the history of human rights: Lynn Hunt, who advocates a universality-analysis of the HaitA major theme of the current “Haitian turn” has been what I call a “universality-analysis”, which stresses that the Haitian Revolution, in contrast to the American and the French, once and for all abolished slavery.

The complement system is an essential effector of both innate and acquired immune responses. Due to its destructive potential, tight regulation is required. The contribution of complement has been associated with the pathogeneses in a wide range of diseases.

The People’s Park in Lund was one of Sweden’s first public places owned by the labour movement. Today the park has become a municipal re creational facility and cultural centre, and the pivotal role of labour in its creation has all but completely faded. Yet despite this amnesia, urban development plans for the park have been overturned many times with references to the place’s past, which has mad
