This thesis first and foremost analyzes and compares Hamas and Fatah's political documents from 2005 and 2009 respectively, and how Israel is portrayed as the enemy in these documents. The theoretical framework focuses on enemy images, but also includes concepts such as national identity, intractable conflicts, intergroup relations and the Other. These concepts are necessary to broaden my anal
Why are certain categories of people more likely than others to regard climate change as ‘fake news’? This thesis aims to replicate and expand on two earlier articles from McCright and Dunlap (2011) and Krange et al. (2019) who show that conservative white men are more likely to be climate change deniers in the US and Norway, respectively. This phenomenon is called the cool dude-effect. Theories a
About a third (1.3 billion tons per year) of global food production is lost or wasted from the initial stages of farm production down to final household consumption and this global challenge has undesirable environmental, economic, and social effects. Notwithstanding the fact that the challenge of food loss and waste has received global attention, not many comparative studies have been conducted t
The aim of this paper is to analyze Peter Linde’s sculpture the Statue of Zlatan as a work of art in a public space and what kind of meaning is produced through its different kinds of expressions. Based on theories concerning public art, ancient Greek and Roman sculptural traditions and iconoclasm, this paper explains how the sculpture is drawing on older sculptural traditions to narrate the obser
The purpose of this thesis is to problematize how Swedish migration policy is being legitimized. The study examines discourses in debates about migration between the Moderate Party and the Swedish Social Democratic Party. There are two major areas of interest: firstly, their discussions about the change in migration policies in 2015 and 2016, and secondly, their articulations of the unaccompanied
While the Swedish debate on crime often centers around crime, punishment, and offenders, there is notably less attention dedicated to those who are exposed to crime. This discrepancy is particularly evident in the lack of comprehensive theories explaining who becomes a victim. This thesis investigates whether a pattern can be identified between what kind of background or exposure of crime and bein
This paper aims to examine whether instances of climate injustice faced by the Sami community are acknowledged and given priority in Sweden's efforts to mitigate climate change. The study centers on mining, which has a complex relationship spanning both current issues and historical tensions between Sami interests and governmental ambitions. The paper will take a postcolonial approach, with a
Previous reports and studies have found that gender, socioeconomic status, migration background and education are important factors in explaining reading amongst young people. A previous report from the Swedish Agency for Youth and Civil Society indicate that there are differences in reading depending on gender and birth country using confidence intervals. However, the report indicated that living
This thesis investigates the outcomes of economic divergence during the neoliberal period in Guatemala and Costa Rica (1985-2020). The application of social capabilities: transformation, autonomy, inclusion and accountability allowed us not only to show the diverted social and economic paths, but also to inspect further and delve into the complex social dynamics in place. There was significant pro
The World Health Organization classified Covid-19 as a pandemic in March 2020 which led many countries to recommend social distancing, restrict the freedom of movement and to close everything except necessary services. Covid-19 related research focuses primarily on closures and interruption of cultural services and/or their digitalization. Sweden’s Covid-19 strategy has been different from other c
In this article I rethink international migration law by analysing the Model International Mobility Convention (MIMC) through a concrete-utopian lens. Starting from the premise that coloniality remains an active structure of the global order, I show how progressive legal projects often reproduce the hierarchies they seek to overcome. Combining Gary Wilder’s concrete utopianism with Ruth Levitas’s
The dosimetry of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is not fully elaborated yet, and some of these systems presents dose-area-product (DAP) values after an examination rather than, as in the case of traditional CT, the doselength- product (DLP). The purpose of this study was to provide a reproducible and straight-forward method for DLP measurements on CBCT, as well as to validate a tool for esti
The possibility to integrate sustainability considerations in the public procurement process has been debated over recent decades, resulting in several legislative changes. Collaboration between public and private sectors is emphasised as important in the development of sustainable public procurement but few studies focus on public-private collaboration related to sustainable public procurement.

Laser Shock Peening (LSP) and Shot Peening (SP) are processes used to mechanically alter the surface properties of metals by inducing a transient high-pressure wave by a laser pulse or by a high-velocity impact of a peening particle. Both processes aim to induce compressive residual stresses near the surface and the level of residual stresses obtained from SP or LSP is similar. When austenitic steLaser Shock Peening (LSP) and Shot Peening (SP) are processes used to mechanically alter the surface properties of metals by inducing a transient high-pressure wave by a laser pulse or by a high-velocity impact of a peening particle.

In this report, the effectiveness of a detector-activated water mist system, Q-fog, has been compared to traditional residential sprinklers. In total, eight tests were performed with a realistic fuel (bed with pillow and duvet) based on the test procedure described in LPS 1655. The bed was placed at different locations in the room and was ignited at the pillow and below the bed, also according to In this report, the effectiveness of a detector-activated water mist system, Q-fog, has been compared to traditional residential sprinklers.
