The Costa Concordia disaster represents one of the most dramatic ship evacuations of recent years. This thesis constitutes a case study of the Costa Concordia disaster, in an attempt to identify behaviors among the evacuees that may have contributed in reducing the effectiveness of the evacuation procedures. Publicly available material – such as reports from the media, survivor accounts and scient
Since the new integration policy from 1975 Swedish politics has been characterized as a multicultural society among scholars and others both in Sweden and abroad. The purpose of this thesis was to study the political debate around three minority practices (the Jewish and Muslim method of slaughtering animals, the veil and the turban, and religious and ethnic schools) to find out if the policy of t
The European Spallation Source is currently under construction in Lund, Sweden. Consisting of a linear accelerator delivering an unprecedented 5 MW proton beam to the spallation source, i.e. a rotating Tungsten disk, it will deliver high-flux neutron beams to multiple beamlines at which scientific experiments will be conducted in many scientific disciplines. To simulate the proton beam and for cr
Uppsatsen handlar om en analys av debatten kring den svenska militära insatsen i Afghanistan året 2010 då tre svenska soldater respektive en afghansk tolk stupade samt flera andra svenska soldater skadades. Till följd av detta, uppstod debatten på Aftonbladet (AB) mellan Jan Guillou och Jan Eliasson, på Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) uppstod debatten mellan Maria-Pia Boëthius och Carl Bildt och på Dagens
This thesis is a conceptual study focused on the relationship between populism and conspiracy theories to see if populism poses a totalitarian threat to democracy. Starting with a discussion on democracy and populism, this thesis examines the relations between conspiracy theories and populism as well as their respective constructions. Thereafter, departing from Hannah Arendt’s book the Origins of
The Pacific Island countries face a host of unique and urgent development challenges that have historically provided the impetus for pursuing various forms of regionalism. This study seeks to shed new light on these processes by examining how the low levels of institutional and governance capacity of regional actors has influenced the success of institutional development strategies within the broa
This thesis investigates the reasons behind the continuation of legitimisation for the ruling party in Singapore, despite its undemocratic practices. The main hypothesis is that the ruling party has effectively utilised competitive authoritarianism, which involves the use of manipulation and repression to maintain control over the public and convince or pressure them to vote for the party. Through
Industrial policy regains interest in politics and academia to drive economic growth and solve challenges. However successful implementation remains challenging, and it lacks consensus on a common framework. Hence, firstly the study synthesises existing principles and frameworks into a comprehensive framework of principles for industrial policy for the 21st century. Secondly, it examines the align
The HIBEAM experiment ventures to measure the theorized coupling between neutron spins and an effective oscillating field caused by axion-like particles. The experiment will use Ramsey interferometry to probe shifts in neutron polarization due to discrepancies in the Larmor frequency of the traveling neutron. To realize a successful experiment, a prototype beamline named the short-HIBEAM will be b
Research question: "How do young women construct and perform aspirational identities through the Clean Girl aesthetic on digital platforms?" Purpose: The purpose of this study is to expand the understanding of how trendy aesthetics on digital platforms like TikTok shape users’ identity construction and self-performance. Theoretical perspective: Two main theoretical fields, aspirational
The 21st century has been marked by repeated financial crises that have challenged the effectiveness of traditional portfolio management strategies. Events such as the 2008 financial crisis, the Eurozone debt crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic have exposed the vulnerabilities of conventional models, such as the widely used Markowitz (1952) mean-variance framework. Since this model balances risk and
Germanys transition to high shares of variable renewable energy (VRE) is increasingly ex-posing flaws in the country’s current electricity market design, particularly in its contin-ued use of nationally uniform wholesale pricing. This thesis investigates whether nodal pricing, where electricity prices vary locationally to reflect physical system conditions, can improve market efficiency and suppor
This thesis performs a critical evaluation of the original Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) of the Lund tramway project, focusing on its adherence to the then-current Swedish national appraisal guidelines (ASEK 5) and the accuracy of its demand forecasts. An updated demand forecast and monetary valuation of time savings are constructed and compared to the original CBA projections by using empirical pas
