After World War II, the ethno-demographic structure of many cities in eastern and central Europe was fundamentally changed as a result of genocides, ethnic cleansing, deportations and migrations. The cultural diversity that had been characteristic of many of those cities was radically reduced, as new inhabitants tried to find their place in the cityscapes. In focus of this thesis is thememory work
This paper addresses inclusive tourism in multicultural societies by exploring the domestic tourism experiences of first-generation Italian and Chinese immigrants in Sweden within the context of visiting friends and relatives (VFR) tourism practices and activities. Our results highlight the complex interplay of personal social networks and the hosts’ positionality on VFR experiences and tourism dy
The strongly temperature-dependent ionic mobility in polymer electrolytes is used to freeze in specific ionic charge environments around a nanowire using a local wrap-gate geometry. This makes it possible to set both the threshold voltage for a conventional doped substrate gate and the local disorder potential at temperatures below 220 K. These are characterized in detail by combining conductance
By paying particular attention to the local economic context, this paper analyzes the factors that influence rural non-agricultural employment and earnings. The empirical analysis is based on the Brazilian Demographic Census, allowing for disaggregated controls for the local economy. Education stands out as one of the key factors that shape employment outcome and earnings potential. Failure to con
This paper presents initial research within a broader discourse about smart cities. Despite the existence of various discussions about the concept many questions are still opened. We bridge the gap by investigating the role of local governments and their initiatives to integrate new technologies in a city context. The study aims to investigate the adoption of technological innovation in smart citi
Research within micro economic geography agrees that certain places create knowledge flow. However, few examples exist on micro perspectives emphasizing interpersonal interactive aspects. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to contribute with a case study on the concept of local buzz. The purpose has been to examine if Restaurant Inspira facilitates local buzz, thus offering a localized advantage
People in Hong Kong continues to wrestle with the configuration of national identity and local distinctiveness, even though the fact of handover from the British to China was settled long ago. In the recent decade, several large-scale political protests have witnessed the hostile sentiments from Hong Kong people towards the central government and their shrinking attachments to the nation. The 2019
According to the literature, there is a gap between national environmental goals and the policies implemented at local governmental level. This study examines whether this environmental implementation gap exists and how it may be bridged through a constructionist lens. Through doing intense research and interviewing local governmental officials working with implementation of the environmental goal
The objective of this thesis is to examine rural populations' access to land in Ethiopia, in the light of land regulations and different obstacles. Using a qualitative research design, based on a literature study, the following topics will be discussed; land regulation, state-led industrial development, villagization program and land-grab. In conclusion, the regulatory framework forbids locals
This thesis is an ethnographic study of Chinese visitors’ participation in culinary tourism in the Öresund region. It aims to do qualitative research on the consumption of exotic food and the status of cooking with locals’ activity among Chinese tourists and to deliver insights to culinary tourism agencies in terms of attracting Chinese tourists to joining the food-related activities in present an
The primary aim of this master’s thesis is to provide a deeper insight into the archives of the Swedish Local Heritage Federation, and to what extent they can be compared to the established concepts of community archives. The secondary is to clarify differences between traditional archival institutions and the archives of the Swedish Local Heritage Federation to better understand how the latter op

Bride abduction in post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan is a human rights and gender equality issue that continues to exist despite national and international efforts to end it. This bachelor thesis explores Kyrgyz bride abduction as a mismatch or disconnect between local realities and top- down aid practice. It pursues this aim in three steps using a qualitative mixed-methods approach. Firstly, the thesis cond
BackgroundThe time taken for epinephrine to achieve its optimal effect during local anesthesia has recently become the subject of debate. The time from injection to commencement of surgery is traditionally quoted to be 7 to 10 min, while recent reports claim that it may take 30 min to achieve maximum hypoperfusion, which would prolong the time required for surgical procedures. The discrepancy may
Oilseed rape fields are a very common crop in the agricultural landscape of southern Sweden, and they can harbour surprisingly many insect species. Some of them are herbivores that feed on various parts of the oilseed rape plant, others are natural enemies of the herbivores, and even more species are tourists from the surrounding landscape. In my thesis I have studied these insects and how their pOilseed rape fields are a very common crop in the agricultural landscape of southern Sweden, and they can harbour surprisingly many insect species.
