Furthermore, the essay captures stories about everyday experiences of what it means to be involved in non-profit organizations or activist networks that are active in Swedish detention centers. It is of interest to study how the deprivat
This study utilizes a panel data of 69 developing and developed countries to analyze the impacts of Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) on the innovation outcomes of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector. The panel analysis is assisted with detailed observations on successful cases that have achieved impressive innovation outcomes over the years, in or
Social media workers have become an important communication profession within the organisational context. However, workers behind organisational social media accounts remain understudied. This study problematises the limited emphasis of existing research on the self-perceptions of communication practitioners and introduces the perspective of social media workers.

Inequality has been growing in Thailand, but the consequence of inequality, intergenerational social mobility has not been studied. This research aims to provide contemporary study of intergenerational occupational mobility in Thailand during 1997-2017, and provide the first time three generations mobility by employing Townsend Thai panel data. This research employs EGP class schema for classifica
FR96001M, (4R,5R)-4,5-Dihydroxy-5-((S)-1-hydroxy-heptyl)-cyclopent-2-enone, is a new antibacterial compound isolated from Cyphellopsis anomalia TA96001. Its structure was determined by spectroscopic methods. The absolute structure was determined with a FT-NMR version of Mosher´s method. FR96001 is very similar to the previously known antibacterial pentenomycins, wich is produced by Streptomyces eu
The European Security Strategy (ESS) developed in 2003 and the National Security Strategy of the United States of America (NSS) was issued in 2002. In this thesis these two documents are compared and analyzed with reference to the securitization theory. The comparison focus on identified threats and how they aim to refute them. The choice of documents is partly based on, them being the first secu
The first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in China and has become a public health emergency of international concern. Several countries have issued comprehensive social distancing policies responses to the pandemic. This study was performed in an attempt to understand the impact of a lockdown on COVID-19 cases through a case study in Scandinavia. A validated database was used to origi
This thesis investigates the influence of country-specific political risk on credit default swap spreads. The research includes a sample of 30 companies over a time period of more than 13 years. The companies are divided into two sets of sub-groups, dependent on whether they are banks or not and which country they are based in. The hypothesis is that banks should be more influenced by political ri
With increasing concerns about environmental impacts of the food that is consumed, so is also the concern about packaging materials. This also comprises the packaging that is currently used to pack infant formula (IF), very often containing aluminum as the barrier material. IF is a very sensitive product that demands for the highest barriers to protect it from lipid oxidation. This implies that th
People often feel less empathy towards outgroup compared to ingroup targets. Overcoming this intergroup empathy bias is important for fostering positive intergroup relations. In five pre-registered and high-powered online studies (n = 4776 (745/745/1056/1236/994)), we attempted to replicate and generalize motivated empathy interventions that previously have made people more empathetic and prosocia
Deliberate and systematic destruction of cultural, historical and religious sites was an integral part of the ethnic cleansing policy used by the Serbian separatist forces in Bosnia and Hercegovina during the war between 1992 and 1995. In this essay I discuss deliberate and systematic destruction as a way of “killing memory” in a process of creating new Serbian national identity. In a society such
The effect of university ranking on university applications has been subject to evaluations in several countries but in Sweden it is not as recognized. This study aims to examine whether applicants to Swedish university studies are affected by national and international university rankings. The effect of university ranking is examined on a set of applicant related variables such as the total numbe

This essay explores the critiques of modernity from posthuman and Indigenous perspectives, exploring their convergences and divergences. It argues that both frameworks challenge the anthropocentric and dualistic paradigms that have historically governed Western thought. Posthumanism encourages ontological humility by recognizing the non-dual nature of existence and more-than-human agency, while In
Termen ”ekonomiskt våld” är för många ett relativt okänt begrepp, vilket bara under de senaste åren har börjat leta sig in i media och den allmänna samhällsdebatten. Bland forskare betraktas det ekonomiska våldet som mycket allvarligt och framför allt som en stor riskfaktor för att våldsutsatta kvinnor ska stanna i en våldsam relation. I svensk rätt finns inget straffbud som uttryckligen tar sikt
Despite articulations of the Dublin Statement which stress the need to include women in decision-making on water, women are significantly under-represented in transboundary water governance. This thesis examines the Women in Water Diplomacy in the Nile-network by asking how the network constructs a feminist discourse on transboundary water governance in the Nile basin. Rooted in the theoretical fr
Botswana is known as the ‘Diamond of Africa’ due to its unique success in avoiding the resource curse, the paradox where resource-rich developing countries experience poor economic and social outcomes while trapped in a cycle of underdevelopment. Despite the consequences of the resource curse, such as higher corruption and conflict, impacting development as a whole, much of the existing literature
Effects of carbon functionalization on the catalytic properties of the space underneath epitaxial graphene flakes on Ir(111) are investigated with Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy studies of oxygen hydrogenation. The 0.1 mbar oxygen atmosphere hosting O-intercalated graphene flakes was replaced with hydrogen pulses lasting 50 s each, triggering the water formation. Underneath pris
Recent archaeological excavations have uncovered an Iron Age temple house in Vång providing new context to the centrality of Iron Age central Blekinge in Sweden, as well as its development into the Medieval period. This thesis aims to examine how that development unfolded using the lens of affordance theory combined with a GIS assisted source pluralistic analysis. Comparing Iron Age monuments with
