Through the daily life experiences of 15 individuals from different parts of the world living now as digital nomads, the thesis investi

It is based on semi-structured interviews with eight organisations fighting for reproductive rights and justice in Ireland. A diffractive analytical method is employed to identify intra-actions of space, bodies and objects in the transformation of politically produced and capitalist spac

Vad händer bakom museimontrar och magasindörrar? Vem bestämmer vilket kulturarv som ska bevaras och vilken del av det ska utställas? Vem driver det osynliga maskineriet av museernas backstage-funktioner och genomför dagliga museirutiner? Museer som modernitetsinstitutioner har en särskild roll i processen för kunskapsproduktion och maktfördelning inom samhällen, först och främst genom att synliggöWhat exactly happens behind museum displays and repository doors? Who decides what heritage has to be preserved and what part of it should be exhibited? Who operates all this invisible machinery of the museums’ backstage functions and executes its daily routines? Museums as institutions of modernity have a specific role in the process of knowledge production and power redistribution within societi

Den undersökning som ligger till grund för uppsatsen utgörs av sex stycken semistrukture

Yoghurt is a dairy product that is well known around the world. When producing yoghurt, the homogenization process is one of the most energy demanding steps.

Human serviceorganisationsföreträdare hanterar flera, inte sällan motsträviga, viljor samtidigt och balanserar dem i relation till sin profession. Detta har tidigare beskrivits i termer av att utsättas för ett korstryck och har bland annat studerats bland sjuksköterskor och lärare. Fenomenet beskrivs vara påfrestande och påverka arbetstagaren i sin yrkesvardag. Mot bakgrund av detta var syftet medHuman service representatives often handle multiple contradictory expectations and requests.

Narratives surrounding the anniversary will be discussed through a deconstructive narrative reading,

Det råder idag en trend att förtäta, det vill säga bygga tätt i städer istället för att låta städer växa utåt. Det finns många fördelar med att förtäta då en tät stad ger underlag för bättre service och tätare kollektivtrafik vilket därmed kan leda till mer hållbara städer. Men det finns också nackdelar med att bygga tätt. Genom att förtäta städer samlas fler människor på mindre ytor och därmed ocToday it has become a trend to densify cities instead of allowing them to grow outwards. Densification has many advantages, a dense city provides a basis for better service and denser public transport, which can lead to more sustainable cities. However, building dense also has its disadvantages. By densifying cities, more people gather on a smaller area. This result in more children on a smaller a
