This thesis studies how nationalists and unionists in Northern Ireland handled the insecurity generated by the Brexit referendum. It explores the years between 2016 and 2020 and conducts a theory-driven qualitative thematic analysis based on speeches and texts from political seniors within the Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Féin. It departs from a macro perspective within social psychology, co

Colombia has received global attention for their innovative response to the Venezuelan migration crisis. However, the question remains; has this response translated into an improved access to contraceptives for Venezuelan women in Colombia? This study aims to explore how migrants and health staff perceive access to contraceptives, how migration status and socioeconomic situation impede this access

Det finns många fördomar och negativa attityder om övervikt i allmänhet och i synnerhet om övervikt i förhållande till arbetsprestation, vilket leder till att överviktiga arbetstagare missgynnas på arbetsmarknaden. Särskilt överviktiga kvinnor missgynnas på ett sätt som inte smala kvinnor eller överviktiga män gör. Det är ett exempel på intersektionell diskriminering, när sammanvävningen av identiThere are many prejudices and negative attitudes about overweight people in general and about overweight people in relation to work performance in particular, which has led to overweight workers being disadvantaged in the labor market. Especially overweight women are disadvantaged in ways that thin women and overweight men are not. This is an example of intersectional discrimination, when the inte

This thesis analyzed the portrayal of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in South Korea by “The Korea Times” and the “Global Times," focusing on its political, economic, and cultural implications. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) within Fairclough's three-dimensional framework, it examined how these newspapers depict THAAD and its broader impacts. The research f

China’s impressive socioeconomic development amid its modernization over the past decades has not been paralleled with political liberalization as modernization theory assumed. State-led development gave rise to a more-educated middle class, and yet previous studies have controversies over whether the middle class can be a harbinger of the country’s democratization. There has been a research gap c

Despite previous studies extensively focusing on the domestic aspects of the Thai radical and left-wing movement, Thai left-wing publications, and its cultural politics, little is known about the comparative and transnational perspectives. This thesis examines the Thai Leftist Movement and its articulations from the 1970s to the early 1980s in Thailand and Europe, demonstrating how translation pla

After seeing the developments in both Hungary and Poland democracy seemed to be weakening in Europe. How resilient is the democracy of Denmark and Sweden? Two countries who year after year rank high on different democracy indexes. The strength of a democracy is found in its constitution. To measure the protection of democratic institu-tions in the constitutions of Denmark and Sweden, I created an

Neutrality and military non-alignment have been crucial aspects of Swedish foreign and security policy since the end of the Second World War. The purpose of this research is to examine the shifts in roles in connection to the debates surrounding EU and Nato memberships, focusing specifically on the conceptions of neutrality and military non-alignment. With the use of role theory, the role concepti

We study the Gauss map and derive certain statistical properties, specifically upper bounds on the decay of correlations. The method is due to Liverani \cite{Main_Liverani}, which in turn is based on foundational work by Birkhoff \cite{LatticeTheory}. One defines a cone of functions, and then considers the induced Hilbert metric associated to the cone. A strict contraction in this metric gives exp

En man lider av en allvarlig psykisk störning och är intagen på lag (1991:1128) om psykiatrisk tvångsvård (LPT). Han har drabbats av en somatisk sjukdom som visserligen inte är livshotande och akut för tillfället men skulle kunna bli allvarlig. Läkaren vill vidta en medicinsk åtgärd för att utreda och kunna ta ställning till behandling men patienten motsätter sig vården. I 2 kap. 6 § regeringsformA man suffers from a serious mental disorder and is admitted according to Compulsory Psychiatric Care Act (LPT). He is also suffering from a somatic illness which, although not life-threatening or acute now, could become seri-ous. The doctor wants to take a medical measure to investigate the disease to decide on treatment but the patient refuses. Chapter 2, section 6 Instrument of Government (RF)

This essay aims to analyze the depiction of an ideal soldier in order to research whether these depictions perpetuate values and ideals found in the theoretical framework of militarized masculinity and the logic of masculinist protection. The selected material consists of official documents from both the Swedish Armed Forces as well as the United States Armed Forces, which will be analyzed through

This research explores how aviation accident investigation reports are written and their impact on organisational learning and perception of accidents. It examines the role of backward counterfactual statements in shaping organisational learning from commercial aviation accidents. Hindsight bias can lead investigators to overstate their understanding of an accident's causes, influencing the in

Detta examensarbete undersöker den tekno-ekonomiska genomförbarheten av att integrera vätgaslagringssystem med havsbaserade vindkraftsparker på den svenska energimarknaden. När Sverige övergår till ett mer förnybart energisystem skapar variationen i vindkraftsproduktion utmaningar för nätstabilitet och elmarknaden. Vätgaslagring erbjuder en potentiell lösning genom att omvandla överskottsenergi frThis thesis investigates the techno-economic feasibility of integrating hydrogen storage systems with offshore wind farms in the Swedish energy market. As Sweden transitions towards a more renewable energy system, the variability of wind power generation presents challenges for grid stability and the electricity market. Hydrogen storage offers a potential solution by converting excess wind energy

Bakgrund: Kvinnor som upplevt våld i nära relation (VINR) har en högre tendens att genomgå operativa ingrepp. Vikten av att identifiera tecken och symtom är avgörande för att vårdpersonal ska upptäcka våldsutsatta kvinnor. En god utbildning inom VINR ger förutsättningar för vårdpersonal att fråga om våldsutsatthet och hjälpa utsatta patienter. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva operationssjukskötersk

Wind energy has been established since before the 2000s and has experienced significant growth, particularly influenced by documents like the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, which shaped global perspectives on sustainability. While wind energy has contributed to desired sustainability goals outlined in these documents, it still confronts numerous challenges regarding circularity and achiev

Local governments are today facing an increasingly complex reality marked by financial restraints, new demands from citizens and a growing competition with the private sector in providing welfare services. This complexity has led local governments to seek new types of competence, knowledge and skills among employees. Consequently, new roles have emerged within local government, with the strategist

Biochar, a black carbon created from agricultural waste or residues, is primary an agricultural tool to improve soil health via moisture and nutrient retention with the added benefit of sequestering carbon. As global actors search for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods, biochar is increasingly promoted especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where smallholder farmers are largely affected by clima

Denna uppsats undersöker den fortsatta utvecklingen av ett potentiellt FN-fördrag om företag och mänskliga rättigheter. I år är det ett decennium sedan rådet för mänskliga rättigheter antog resolution 26/9, vilken inrättade en arbetsgrupp för att utarbeta ett potentiellt rättsligt bindande instrument inom mänskliga rättigheter, med målet att reglera transnationella företag och andra affärsverksamhThis thesis examines the continuing development of a potential UN Treaty on Business and Human Rights. This year marks a decade since the Human Rights Council passed resolution 26/9, establishing a working group to elaborate a potential legally binding instrument in international human rights law, with the objective to regulate the activities of transnational corporations and other business enterp
