The radical right has established themselves as permanent actors in the European party system over the last decade. The determinant factors explaining their increased electoral success have been thoroughly researched. Despite this fact the knowledge of their policy impact is largely unknown. This thesis argues that the local level in Sweden offers unique opportunity to study the policy impact of t
In 2016, a much-noted museum debate took place in Swedish media in which some critics accused the government of politicizing its public museums and using them as propaganda tools by detail managing them. These are serious accusations which motivate a thorough review of the relation between cultural politics and museums. With the aim of investigating politicization of public museums, Malmö Museum
Climate change as an environmental and social phenomenon exacerbates the increasing ecological strain on Earth. Therefore, a plethora of measures is needed to get onto a more sustainable track towards a low-carbon society. We need to act fast as we are approaching the point of no return. Many strategies to mitigate and stabilise the climate have been developed, one of them being low-carbon initiat
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Examensarbetet syftar till att undersöka vegetationens utveckling och historia i området kring Skäralid, på Söderåsen i Skåne. Av särskilt intresse är när boken (Fagus sylvatica) invandrade i området och när den blev dominerande i skogen. Under hösten år 2000 kommer Naturvårdsverket här att inrätta Sveriges 27:e nationalpark: Söderåsens nationalpark. NationalparThe beech forest of the Söderåsen ridge in Skåne, southern Sweden, is one of the largest areas dominated by beech (Fagus sylvatica) in northern Europe, and during the year 2000 the southeastern part of Söderåsen will become the 27th national park of Sweden. Pollen analysis has been carried out on two peat cores collected from small peatlands situated on the plateaus surrounding the Skäralid canyon
This paper presents results from a modern dataset of non-pollen palynomorphs and its application to a ca. 2,000 year peat record from the same area in the western Pyrenees (Basque Country, France). The modern dataset is composed of 35 surface samples (moss polsters) from a mountainous pasture-woodland landscape. Airborne fungal spores (ascospores and conidia), found dominant in the dataset, are li
Abstract The aim of this essay is to analyse the effects of women's representation on actual political outcome. Quantitative method and materials are used to study the consequences of women's political participation in Swedish municipals. Many theorists think that women have special interests, different from men?s, which is also the belief of this essay. This political interest is here d
It seems like Swedish municipalities are dominated by beliefs that all citizen participation is good for the development of local democracy. A critic of this certainty is rising among Swedish scholars of political science. However, a critic with an ambition of such generalization is harsh. Different democratic projects contents different qualities and thereby diverse problems in the democratic pro
Child soldiers are one of the major problems in modern society. In the case of northern Uganda, child soldiers (or formerly abducted children) have been used for decades in the conflict between the government and the rebel group the Lord's Resistance Army. Uganda is now facing a great challenge rehabilitating those children. The purpose of this study has been to describe and analyze the reinte
This study aimed at understanding perceptions of local water users concerning equitable management of small multipurpose reservoirs in Northern Ghana. Furthermore, its aim was to compare these perceptions with the concept of equitable management promoted by development projects, which stress creation of new institutions – Water User Associations (WUA) – for the equitable management to be achieved.
Background: Microarray gene-profiling of invasive breast cancer has identified different subtypes including luminal A, luminal B, HER2-overexpressing and basal-like groups. Basal-like invasive breast cancer is associated with a worse prognosis. However, the prognosis of basal-like ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is still unknown. Our aim was to study the prognosis of basal-like DCIS in a large pop
Long-term records of environmental history at decadal to millennial time-scales enable an assessment of ecosystem variability and responses to past anthropogenic disturbances and are fundamental for the development of environmental management strategies. This study examines the local variability of land-use history in the South Swedish Uplands over the last 200 years based on pollen records from t
This thesis examines the conflict situation that has emerged around the environmental discourse in the planning process of a railway mega-project in Estonia. A discourse analysis is carried out on policy documents, publications, and interviews following Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory and methodological guidelines, to examine the ways that the concept of sustainability conflicts between stake
The purpose with this paper is to examine whether the cultural characteristics and difficulties in speaking Swedish matters when it comes to choosing between having a geriatric care in the city of Landskrona or not. Does the local authorities succeed in reaching out to the elderly immigrants with information? How important is a common relationship to create security in old age? What reasons are th
This research explores the extent of feminism and nationalism in peacetime Serbia and also the correlation between. Theories suggest these two systems of thought to be incompatible with each other, even exclusive. If someone is in fact a supporter of nationalist ideas, it is unlikely for this person to also have feminist sympathies. Insights obtained by reviewing and analyzing existing national da
In the fall of 2015 a huge amount of refugees has come from the Middle East to Europe. Sweden is one of the countries that embraced a lot of these refugees. This study is inspired by the volunteers in a small community in the region of Dalsland were a new refugee housing (asylboende) was established the year before. The main question has been how this change has influenced the community in terms o
Land cover and land management changes (LCLMCs) have a substantial impact on the global carbon budget and, consequently, on global climate via the biogeochemical (BGC) effects. The commonly considered BGC effects refer to the direct influence of LCLMCs on local carbon stocks (local BGC effects). However, LCLMCs also influence climate by altering the local surface energy balance due to changes in l
During the last glacial period, proxy records throughout the Northern Hemisphere document a succession of rapid millennial-scale warming events, called Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) events. A range of different mechanisms has been proposed that can produce similar warming in model experiments; however, the progression and ultimate trigger of the events are still unknown. Because of their fast nature, th
White- and blue collar workers traditionally belong to different unions and, therefore, are covered by different collective agreements. Collective agreements for different employee categories create internal divisions, which mean that white collar workers are not obliged to do work that falls under a blue collar agreement and reversed. Historically the difference between white- and blue collar wor
