Despite the rapid development of urban tourism, it was for a long time seen as a neglected field in tourism studies, which tended to focus on resorts and rural destinations. Cities were generally viewed as the generating, not receiving, parts of the tourist system. This lack of interest was matched by a similar disinterest of tourism in urban studies. One reason for this was the difficulty to defi
This study has aimed to understand the experiences of the Turkish women who share their knitting videos on YouTube through using the virtual ethnography conducted. The participant women mostly describe themselves as a “housewife” and/or specify their roles through association with domestic tasks, which is related to the position of assigned to many women by Turkish society. Most of them were born
Hedersproblematiken är ett uttryck för våld och kränkningar som grundar sig i ett patriarkalt och kollektivistiskt förtryck. Genom en föreställning om skyddet för familjens heder begränsas främst flickors fri- och rättigheter genom normer tätt knutna till föreställningar om flickors sexualitet. Då denna problematik relativt nyligen uppmärksammats i det svenska rättsväsendet brister den offentliga Honor-based violence is a patriarchal and collectivist oppression aimed mostly at girls, whose freedoms are circumscribed in accordance to strict sexual norms to protect the family´s honor. Since this has only relatively recently received the attention of the Swedish judicial system, welfare state institutions are ill equipped to understand these girls´ experiences and needs. One particularly recu
As the Nordic welfare states evolve – with ideologies that focus on an increased consumption of health services – citizens are required to be productive throughout their life course. And because fewer economic resources are being invested into basic health care, and there is a move to shift more responsibility onto the individual (patient), it is becoming essential to illuminate practices that sho
1. Thousands of lakes in the Northern Hemisphere are experiencing a continuous increase in water temperature and colour. While increasing temperature is an effect of climate change, several factors are suggested to drive the increasing water colour, including climate change, altered land use and reversed acidification. 2. In this mesocosm study, we study the effects on pelagic production and sedim
In this study, we quantify the effect of uncertainties in climate projections on an impact model (IPS) that describes the temperature-dependent swarming and development of Ips typographus. Three forcing climate data sets (ensembles) were used: (1) E-Obs gridded observations, (2) ERA-40 reanalysis data downscaled by eight regional climate models (RCMs) and (3) regional scenarios from one RCM forced
Background: Survival rates following a diagnosis of cancer vary between countries. The International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership (ICBP), a collaboration between six countries with primary care led health services, was set up in 2009 to investigate the causes of these differences. Module 3 of this collaboration hypothesised that an association exists between the readiness of primary care physic
OBJECTIVE: To elucidate parent´s experience of having had a baby with colic four years previously and of how the colic and care influenced the family in a long-term perspective. METHODOLOGY AND PARTICIPANTS: A qualitative inductive follow-up study with 13 individual and one focus group interview including four parents. Altogether ten mothers and seven fathers representing 12 families, who had been
Soil phosphorus (P) composition changes with ecosystem development, leading to changes in P bioavailability and ecosystem properties. Little is known, however, about how soil P transformations proceed with ecosystem development in boreal regions. We used 1-dimensional P-31 and 2-dimensional H-1, P-31 correlation nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to characterise soil organic P transform

[translated title] Supervisor: Claes Levin Assessor: The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine how the work with victim-offender mediation is practised in Sweden and why it is practised in a certain way.

The purpose of this essay was to study what knowledge and understanding social workers think they have when it comes to honor-related problems and how they handle cases with these issues. We made a qualitative study and interviewed six social workers who work with young people and honor issues. We also did an interview with Maria Hagberg, who is a main figure and author in the field. To analyze th
During the last decade microfinance has become the latest trend in the development discourse, celebrated for empowering poor women to work their way out of poverty. Self-Employed Women’s Associations, SEWA, was alongside Grameen Bank one of the pioneers in the microfinance sector and has developed an integrated approach based on the life cycle needs of the members that is assumed to help them brea
In recent decades, changes in vegetation phenology have exhibited a tight coupling with global warming. Mountain ecosystems are particularly susceptible to climate change, with high elevations warming faster than lower areas. The inconsistent rate of temperature change across elevations may lead to synchronization of phenological patterns, reducing the differences in phenology timing between high
Introduction: The climate and biodiversity crises are interconnected, unprecedented, existential threats that cause disturbing emotions, such as anxiety, grief, and anger. While there is increasing research about antecedents and outcomes of such eco-emotions, less is known about how to cope with them constructively, to benefit both mental health and pro-environmental action. Objectives: This study
Research shows that resistance to change might occur in organisations that implement new evidence-based practices (EBP). Formal and informal structures may work to retain traditional interventions, potentially counteracting the implementation process. Little is known about the de-implementation of traditional practices to leave room for and enhance the implementation of EBPs. This study uses imple
Many species up- or downregulate their resting metabolic rate (RMR) when they encounter favourable or unfavourable feeding conditions, respectively. This is thought to promote faster growth when food is abundant and conserve energy reserves when food is scarce. The time it takes to express metabolic plasticity remain little studied. Here, we develop a conceptual model showing how rapid or slow met
Background: There is insufficient knowledge available about the impact of paediatric palliative care at home on meeting family needs and ensuring the highest quality of care for the dying child. The aim of this study was to elucidate parents’ experiences of how and why home-based paediatric palliative care impacted the entire family during their child's final phase of life. Methods: The study used
Problematic school absenteeism is currently a complex and increasing challenge in society. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how school teachers experience problematic absenteeism how they have worked to promote school attendance in children and youths and how they’ve reintegrated them into school after being absent. This thesis will also investigate different actors' perspectives,
