We all know that conflict creates displacement. Life becomes untenable in different ways, and people are forced to move; the majority ending up as internally displaced people within the nation-state, while others wind up in refugee camps in neighboring countries, and a very few seek asylum in faraway places. The recent war in Ukraine and the conflict in Syria since 2011 seemingly fit into this cla

The measurement and application of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) in solution NMR studies of biological macromolecules has become well established over the past quarter of a century. Numerous methods for generating the requisite anisotropic orientational molecular distribution have been demonstrated, each with its specific strengths and weaknesses. In parallel, an enormous number of pulse schem

How colour polymorphisms are maintained in natural populations constitutes a key subject of study for evolutionary ecologists. One of the mechanisms that has been put forward to explain this phenomenon is negative frequency-dependent selection, which can be caused by different mechanisms. Among these mechanisms is mate choice, or the selection as a potential mate of the rare or dissimilar colour m

What do we know about youth climate activism in India? Given the country’s rich history of environmental activism and the recent increase in youth climate groups, the literature on youth climate activism in India is surprisingly scant. The present review systematically identified eight studies focusing specifically on young people’s climate activism in India post-2019. An in-depth comparative read

Bio-based 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) serves as an important platform for several chemicals, among which 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has attracted considerable interest as a monomer for the production of polyethylene furanoate (PEF), a potential alternative for fossil-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This study is based on the HMF oxidizing activity shown by Mycobacterium sp. MS 16

Protests are a common way for citizens to express their grievances and can occur in almost every regime. Each state reacts to protests in different ways – some listen to citizens' demands and adjust their policies, others resort to forceful methods, but in one and the other case, the media occupy an important place among the tools of response. This becomes especially evident in non-democratic

In recent years, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda have paid a higher degree of attention to the gaps in implementation and lack of financing that have characterized the agenda since the adoption of UNSCR 1325 in 2000. This development has also included more attention given to implementation through civil society organizations, and the establishment of a new financing instrument – Global

The aim of the study is to examine discourse on pornography in Swedish news media. The methodological point of departure is Critical Discourse Analysis, as presented by Fairclough. The empirical material consists of 69 articles, editorials and chronicles publicized in Swedish news media between July 2013 and March 2017. The primary theoretical point of departure of the study is Fairclough’s critic

Since mid-2000s, a great emphasis of the global development agenda is directed toward women and their participation in society, especially as wageworkers and political actors. Hand-in-hand with this emphasis on women’s empowerment and gender equality as the ‘solution’ for development, the involvements of private actors in the development arena have increased as well. The notion of private corporat

Synthetic biology, a branch of the life sciences, can be summarized as the deliberate attempt to design living organisms. It is an emerging technoscience and a potential platform technology portrayed as possibly the next industrial revolution. This thesis is an inquiry into synthetic biology; an exploration based on observations in text. An explorative tool is the question: What is synthetic biolo

Kampala the capital city of Uganda, as well as other cities in the developing world, is facing problems in managing solid waste generated by household. The population is outnumbering government’s capacity to handle the amount waste generated. Lack of service coverage in poor neighborhoods is forcing people to use illegal methods of waste disposal. This includes open space dumping and burning of wa

The wage disparity between women and men stems from the historically unequal valuation of their work. This systemic undervaluation of women's contributions to the labor market has persisted over time, highlighting the ongoing need for regulatory measures to address these inequities and promote greater fairness in pay practices. This study seeks to explore the anticipated impacts of EU Directi

Denna analys undersöker gränsdragningen mellan konstnärlig yttrandefrihet och brott, utifrån exemplet olaga hot i gangsterrap. Analysen har även komparativa inslag utifrån tysk rätt. Genom att presentera tyska rättsfall och den rättsliga diskussion som börjat föras om den tyskspråkiga gangsterrappen ges ytterligare perspektiv och ett större rättsligt sammanhang. Analysen visar att det finns rättsThis analysis examines the right to freedom of artistic expression and its limits within Swedish law, using the example of unlawful threats in gangsta rap. This analysis also includes elements of a comparative method. By examining German law and judicial decisions, the aim is to place Swedish gangsta rap in a broader legal context. The analysis shows legal challenges related to gangsta rap – chal

Våldsutvecklingen i Sverige kan spåras till de förorts- och stadsdelsbaserade gängen och den organiserade brottsligheten i landet anses vara ett av samtidens största problem. För att inte skada grundläggande värden, som demokrati och rättssäkerhet, är det nödvändigt att motverka den organiserade brottsligheten.

The EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy was created to stabilize the EU’s Neighbourhood, fuel the EU’s geopolitical crisis management ambitions, and strengthen European values abroad. In the recent debate, however, it was criticized as ineffective or destabilizing.
