Föreliggande uppsats har som övergripande syfte att fördjupa förståelsen för hur elever i en mångkulturell skolkontext språkligt positionerar sig inom ramen för svenskundervisningen. Särskilt fokus riktas mot hur gymnasieelever navigerar mellan förortssvenska och andra språkliga varieteter i relation till skolans språkliga normer, samt hur dessa språkpraktiker påverkar elevernas upplevelser av ideThis thesis aims to deepen the understanding of how students in a multicultural school context linguistically position themselves within the framework of Swedish language education. Particular attention is given to how students navigate between suburban Swedish and different linguistic varieties — in relation to dominant language norms in the classroom, and how these practices shape their experien

In 2023, Russia invaded Ukraine and began an occupation of large parts of the country. This invasion sparked concern in many nations and led to an increased interest in defence issues, thereby triggering a narrative of rearmament. A major focus within this rearmament narrative is the drone, which, in the midst of the war, became a game changer for both the Russians and the Ukrainians. The drone is

The thesis has a particular focus on the contribution of medication administration r

Violent internal conflicts have characterized Sri Lanka for much of the last century, often driven by issues of identity, ideology, and victimhood. In 1983, a civil war broke out between the Sinhalese-dominated government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), lasting until 2009, when government forces defeated the LTTE militarily. Although the war has ended, the population continues to

Costa Rica is often regarded as a role model among Latin American countries, with a relatively high level of social development and education. However, just like many other countries in this region, it has enacted far-reaching neoliberal policies since the 1980s, and many of these have negatively affected rural workers in the agricultural sector. This thesis explores how people in rural areas in C

Following Russia´s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Sweden made the historic decision to abandon its more than 200-year long policy of neutrality by applying for a membership in the military alliance (NATO). This shift marked a significant reconstruction of the Swedish Armed Forces. Although the Swedish Armed Forces have long been recognized as one of the most gender-equal military organizations, thi

Materialet är begränsat till tal och intervjuer i början av Trumps andra mandatperiod som president i USA. Talen och intervjuerna analyseras sedan genom kritisk diskursanalys utifrån Carol Bacchis metodologiska ramverk: "What's the problem represented to be?. Det teore

This case study aims to examine how a negative image of Sweden is constructed in the LVU campaign, a transnational disinformation campaign that accuses the Swedish state of systematically kidnapping children from foreign and muslim backgrounds. It employs a qualitative case study design and critical discourse analysis to explore different discursive strategies in which Sweden is portrayed as a mal

Founded in 1952, the European Parliament has progressed through transformational constitutional processes into the primary bearer of democracy within the European Union as its only directly elected institution. As several studies have reported on legislative behavior in previous European Parliament terms, this thesis aims to capture the effects of electoral systems, parliamentary groups’ ideologic

The European Union’s recent history of sanctions targeting the Russian Federation can be dated back to 2014 when the latter committed to its illegal annexation of the Crimean peninsula from the state of Ukraine. In the wake of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 have we seen how the European Union has expanded upon these preexisting sanctions through several extensive sanctions pac

The EU has faced increasing security threats over the past decade, which have begun to permeate many policy sectors. This has become an essential issue for reducing dependencies on external actors and political constraints, significantly affecting the EU’s relations. Simultaneously, the EU has rolled out more ambitious climate goals, aligning with its intention to become an international sustainab

This thesis analyzes Sweden's management of the covid-19 pandemic with a focus on the balance between expert authority and democratic responsibility in a crisis scenario.

The findings show that the Swedi

This thesis examines how Region Skåne and Region Stockholm work to comply with the Swedish care guarantee (vårdgarantin), with a particular focus on the management of waiting lists and the referral of patients to other regions. The study adopts a qualitative and comparative case study design based on document analysis of official reports, policy documents, and statistical data. The analysis is gui

In light of a feminist read of violence as existent along continuums, this study examines how violence against women and girls is discursively represented in Northern Ireland’s strategy to End Violence Against Women and Girls. This is done based on Carol Bacchi’s “What’s the Problem Represented to be” approach to policy analysis, through which two prominent problem representations were identified.

The relationship between peace and business actors is by no means a simple one, and a substantial body of research has been devoted to analysing the many ways in which businesses fuel conflicts around the world. Yet, recent years have seen an increased interest in the notion of business actors as potential peacemakers. Simultaneously, the interest in inclusive peace processes, and particularly civ

This study demonstrates how Leviticus 21 formulates priestly sanctity through laws that regulate gender, class, and impurity within the Holiness Legislation. By applying a synchronic critical discourse analysis, informed by the distinction between ritual and moral impurity, the analysis explores how legal form produces hierarchical exclusions that reinforce priestly dominance, sanctioned through a
