The South African government has since its democratisation launched Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) to engage institutions and communities in shaping local development. These IDPs have yielded mixed results, especially in relation to participation and institutional integration. The discipline of development studies has struggled to address the social networks which enable development. This in

Since there is no previous research in this field I have chosen to look at some of the most
Migration does have a time, energy or mortality cost, and the strategy to minimise the costs shapes the migration behaviour. Depending on the relative influence of these costs in shaping the migration, an animal is expected to undertake these journeys in different ways, depending on their morphology and migration ecology. I investigated if five Tringa-type waders minimise their migration time, and
The lithium extraction sites are rapidly expanding to meet the rising demand for lithium-ion batteries, primarily for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Serbia has emerged as a key European frontier due to the country’s significant lithium reserves, particularly in the Jadar region. This thesis critically examines how the controversial Jadar lithium mining project is discursively legi
This is a study of the Swedish governments control over pathologicalized bodies. I have carried out a genealogical analysis of Swedish government official reports concerning forced sterilizations.

Being aware of the poor attention western linguists have given Japanese puns, this thesis is trying to present, describe and classify several examples of Japanese puns from a western humour-theoretic perspective. This is done by first explaining modern theories

Genom Bohuslän, mellan Strömstad och Göteborg, löper en järnväg. En järnväg som heter Bohusbanan. En järnväg som en gång i tiden var en symbol för framtidstro och utveckling. Banans praktfulla stationshus, de första som välkomnar en och den sista som vinkar adjö vid ett besök till en av de många orterna längs järnvägen, står idag som barriärer till samhällena de tillhör. Byggnaderna som en gång vaThrough Bohuslän, between Strömstad and Gothenburg, runs a railway. A railway called Bohusbanan. A railway that was once a symbol of optimism and progress. The line’s grand station buildings—the first to welcome and the last to bid farewell to visitors of the many towns along the route—now stand as barriers to the communities they belong to. Buildings that were once open, public, social spaces own
