Studies on how small states act within the international system are usually performed using the major theories in international relations. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Sweden applied for a membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato). This thesis’s purpose is to gain knowledge on how strategic narratives were used to legitimize policy changes in a nation that has been

I studien undersöktes associativ språkinlärning via Virtual Reality (VR) och jämfördes sedan med en mer traditionell ordinlärning via en datorskärm, för att se om det förekom någon skillnad i inlärningen mellan dessa. Syfte. Studien syftade till att undersöka om inlärning av ett nytt språk gynnas av associativ inlärning med flera av våra sinnen genom VR. Vår hypotes var att språkinlärning kan gynThe study examined associative language learning through Virtual Reality (VR) and then compared it to more traditional word learning through a computer screen, in order to see if there was any difference in learning between these two. Purpose. The aim of this study to investigate whether learning a new language benefits from associative learning, with several of our senses, through VR. Our hypoth

The aim of this paper is to evaluate potential leading indicators of a recession in Sweden. To answer the question potential leading indicators are first identified with previous findings in literature and with the current state of the Swedish financial system as background. Then these variables will be included in a probit regression at different forecasting horizons. The horizons are one, two an

Har verkligen denna nya fälla för nattfjärilar vad som krävs för att störta den äldre modellen? LED har börjats använda i större grad bland levandefällor för nattfjärilar, och Lunds Universitet har förut endast köpt en sådan typ av fälla från Nederländerna. Men numera har en liknande version med möjlighet till mer ljus byggs vid Biologiska Insitutionen i Lund, och test har visat att nattfjärilarnaDue to the increasing significance of moth species’ contributions to pollination, and the relatively new advancements of AI and LED within this field of study, there is interest in developing a light trap that is both easier to get a hold of and more adapted to the conditions of a northern country like Sweden. In this study I evaluate one such LED-based Light trap and compare it to a more well-tes

The 2022 centenary of the ‘liberation of Izmir’ saw no less than three municipally organised exhibitions thematising historic events long avoided in official memory: the Great Fire of 1922, and the ensuing Turkish-Greek population exchange. Incongruent with the tale of national triumph and unity, such disasters and displacements have been systematically repressed in Turkish official memory, brough

An important step in understanding the formation and evolution of the nuclear star cluster (NSC) is to investigate its chemistry and chemical evolution. Additionally, exploring the NSC’s relationship to the other structures in the Galactic center and the Milky Way disks is of great interest. Extreme optical extinction has previously prevented optical studies, but near-IR high-resolution spectrosco

At the foundation of most inequalities in expression of sexuality lie the social constructions of gender. For this reason I consider sex and sexuality education as a possibility to challenge institutionalised sexism and enhance sexual well-being. As sex education has become a battle of morality, non-governmental organisations and others can be seen as alternatives to the national curriculum plan e

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Naturens tandemcykel – på väg att spåra ur. På senare år har det talats allt mer om klimatet och allt som ses som ett hot mot det. För växter och djur spelar de säsongsmässiga variationerna i miljöförutsättningar roll för när på året olika steg i deras utveckling sker, hur deras fenologi påverkas.
