This thesis explores how public libraries in Lund, Sweden, and various regions of Nepal function as inclusive community spaces. Drawing on ethnographic methods including observation, interviews, digital ethnography, and surveys, it compares the everyday experiences of library users in two different national contexts. Grounded in theories of the public sphere by Habermas and Risse, and their critiq

In a time characterized by individualization and changing forms of collective life, this study explores contemporary cinema as both a personal and shared experiential space. Based on interviews and participant observations conducted at two cinemas in Malmö, Sweden, the study explores how cinematic experiences are shaped through atmosphere, spatial organization, and social interaction. The analysis

The methodology through which this has been done includes person interviews, interviews done online, netnography and archival studies. Thus the basis of my material ranges from voice recordings, online dis

This paper examines personal accounts of living with allergies. By interviewing adults with childhood experience of allergy summer camps and by writing an autoethnographic journal I analyze how these summer camps can exhibit a way to make everyday life of the allergic individuals easier. An allergy may affect a person's lifestyle in many ways and you encounter a lot of difficult experiences in

Precision oncology is being transformed by the integration of advanced machine learning (ML) methods and extensive biomedical data from genomics, imaging, proteomics, and clinical records. ML techniques, including supervised, unsupervised, deep learning, and reinforcement learning, have progressed from experimental tools to robust systems that identify clinically actionable biomarkers, refine prog

BackgroundLong-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) given for at least 15 hours/day improves survival in patients with severe chronic hypoxemia. However, the recent REDOX trial showed that LTOT prescribed for 24 hours/day was not superior to 15 hours/day in terms of death, hospitalizations, or self-reported outcomes. We aimed to examine the cost effectiveness of prescribing LTOT for 24 versus 15 hours/day.M

The goal of this thesis is to explore the church father Justin Martyr’s view of the Jewish people and how he interprets their role in salvation history and their relationship with Christians. By applying a discourse analysis on Justin’s work Dialogue with Trypho these themes can be explored. By using a historical-critical lens the thesis aims to explore what Justin’s work originally meant not how

Historically, the relationship between Marxism and Religion has been studied primarily as antagonistic. Previous research shows that Marxism, especially following Lenin’s contributions to the movement, has been seen as hostile, especially towards Christianity. This does not have to be the case strictly. Studying the Second International's (1889) most prominent thinker, Karl Kautsky (1854-1938)

Under 1600- och 1700-talet tvingades den strängt lutherskt ortodoxa kyrkan i Sverige att möta motstånd för första gången i historien. Det var präster inom kyrkan som hade tagit intryck av den pietistiska rörelsen och dess betoning på ett innerligare trosbegrepp och reform. Det uppstod en maktkamp mellan kyrkan och pietismen, detta var svårhanterligt för en kyrka som aldrig tidigare behövt känna si

Denna kriminologiska kandidatuppsats syftar till att undersöka hur Kaj Linna och Abbe “Blattelito” Alsaadi skildrades av media i respektive fall. Studien har huvudsakligen analyserat nyhets- och debattartiklar publicerade i de största svenska kvälls- och dagstidningar. Den ämnar att undersöka och analysera dessa skildringar. För identifieringen av detta har en fallstudie i kombination med en temat

This dissertation investigates entrepreneurial ethics – a behavioral approach to ethical dilemmas in entrepreneurship. Specifically, the thesis investigates how the individual entrepreneurial decision-maker perceives and interprets conflicting ethical cues surrounding their work, and how that cognitive processing translates into entrepreneurial action and outcomes. Prior research on ethics in entr

In this article, we examine how climate adaptation policies can operate as mechanisms of dispossession, displacing marginalized communities under the guise of environmental protection. We introduce the concept of ‘adaptation by dispossession’ to describe how interventions framed as responses to climate-related hazards justify forced removal, exclusion and the reallocation of land and resources. Dr

Soil biodiversity monitoring requires standardized and practical sample storage methods, particularly for large-scale surveys. Yet, the influence of the soil storage conditions on eDNA-based assessments of microbial and faunal communities remains a key concern. Here, we assessed whether air-drying of soils at room temperature alters microbial (prokaryotes, fungi, micro-eukaryotes) and faunal (nema

Conducting digital research on the far-right continuum (covering a broad array of actors further to the right from what is generally considered the mainstream right), evokes several serious ethical challenges. This becomes particularly poignant in cases whose research subjects hold illiberal, extreme, and potentially hostile views toward the researcher. In this chapter, we critically reflect on th

Corporate complicity in international crimes falls under the broader category of state-corporate crime, which encompasses the intersection between state and corporate misconduct. The concept of 'corporate complicity' includes both civil and criminal liability and involves various forms of involvement (e.g., direct participation, assistance, facilitation, benefiting, silent approval) and motivation

The article examines the contributions of Arthur W. Galston (1920–2008) and Polly Higgins (1968–2019) to the concept of ecocide, from its origins in the Vietnam War to its revival in the twenty-first century. Biologist Arthur W. Galston, whose doctoral research was used to investigate defoliating agents, led a scientific campaign in the late 1960s against the massive use of herbicides by the Unite
