Most gendered research on cycling has been conducted in the Global North, leaving out the experiences of other countries. Chile, in the context of mobility, has been recognised in the region for its significant steps towards sustainability; however, it still lacks when it comes to cycling, and, according to previous studies, the gender gap in Santiago remains under 30 per cent for women. This thes

Denna studie undersöker intressenters inflytande under de tidiga faserna av flytten och expansionen av containerhamnen i Helsingborg. Stora hamnutvecklingsprojekt involverar flera intressenter med olika intressen och möjligheter att påverka projektets utveckling. Syftet med studien är att skapa förståelse för hur olika intressenters inflytande kan förstås utifrån deras makt och intresse. Studien u
Social blandning har framträtt som ett väsentligt planeringsideal i samtida stadsutveckling, med antagandet att större mångfald i bostadsinnehav och befolkningssammansättning kan leda till mer socialt hållbara samhällen. Denna studie undersöker implementeringen av social mix som en lösning för att lösa segregationsproblemet i Malmö stad. Genom en jämförande fallstudie av två planeringsprogram, HolSocial mix has emerged as an essential planning ideal in contemporary urban development, with the assumption that greater diversity in housing tenure and population composition can lead to more socially sustainable communities. This study examines the implementation of social mix as a solution to solving the segregation problem in the city of Malmö. Through a comparative case study of two planning
Vitamins are a common food supplement that humans digest in order to live a more healthy lifestyle. Dietary supplements, DS, are a popular branch within the food industry. There are rules and regulations regarding the manufacturing of DS. One such regulation within the EU is that the content labeled on the product has to be true.

Syftet med denna masteruppsats var att utforska min egen kompositionsprocess när jag komponerar musik till en animerad film med hjälp av en analys av John Powells musik i How To Train Your Dragon. Första delen var att analysera tre olika scener ur filmen How To Train Your Dragon. Där gick jag igenom scenens berättelse och musikens olika delar och teman. Jag kunde med hjälp av analysen skapa en bät
Ett skjutbaneområde i södra Skåne, avvecklad 1998, har länge stått förorenad samtidigt som området och närliggande område används för grundvattenuttag. En mark på 28,6 hektar har länge varit obrukbar på grund av toxiciteten. Området planeras på sikt att användas som betesmark för boskap. Några saneringsåtgärder har dock ännu inte fastställts, vilket beror på föroreningsproblemets komplexitet. SyftA 28.6-hectare area in southern Sweden is contaminated due to activities at a shooting range that closed in 1998, while also partially serving as a site for groundwater extraction. The ground has been unusable for years due to its toxicity. The long-term objective for the site is to be used as grazing land for livestock. However, no remediation measures have yet been established due to the complex
The purpose of this thesis is to explore how young people themselves view gang crime and why young people are drawn to criminal groups. The study is based on interviews with individuals who have experience with the gang environment in Malmö. The material has been analyzed using a class perspective and subculture theory, as well as previous research on youth crime and gang crime. The results show t
Over the past few years the rights of LGBTQI-people have been globally at risk because of a phenomenon called the “anti-gender campaign”. This campaign can even be traced back to Sweden and to libraries with the debate regarding Drag Story Hour back in 2022, that led to a national debate about the role of public libraries. This thesis aims to bring knowledge about the influence that different LGB
Colonialism is a historical process that still affects us today. Museums, especially those with ethnographical collections, are beginning to be affected by an increasing amount of activism regarding these collections, from both within and outside. National minorities affected by a co-lonial past, have over the last decade started to increasingly demand their right to be included in the historical
As geopolitical tensions in the Baltic Sea region have intensified in recent years, Gotland has reemerged as a strategically central location for both Sweden and NATO. The aim of this thesis is to examine how the changing security environment has affected more than just Gotland’s military significance. This thesis asks: “How is Gotland constructed as a security issue in public discourse, and how d
Though the intersection of activism and fandom has mostly been studied in terms of consumer activism, previous research has shown fandom’s potential to inspire and sustain social activism through creative community engagement, mobilization and rhetoric, not least through superheroes. Whether transformative fanworks can synergize with transformative action in similar ways on their own has been inco
This study aims to explore how the professional role and scope of practice of healthcare social workers are shaped within a medically dominated healthcare context. Using a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews, the study examines social workers’ experiences of organizational conditions, interprofessional collaboration, and professional identity. The analysis combines Andrew Abbott’s
Plattrambroar är vanligt förekommande i Sverige och utsätts kontinuerligt för temperaturvariationer. Dessa variationer ger upphov till tvångslaster när konstruktionen hindras från att röra sig fritt vid termisk expansion eller kontraktion. Tidigare studier indikerar att armeringsmängden i plattrambroar har ökat betydligt under de senaste 50 åren, vilket bland annat kan kopplas till ökade krav på tPortal frame bridges are common in Sweden and are continuously subjected to temperature variations. These variations give rise to restraint forces when the structure is prevented from moving freely during thermal expansion or contraction. Previous studies indicate that the amount of reinforcement in portal frame bridges has increased substantially over the past 50 years, which can partly be attrib

Existing research on Brand Activism has predominantly examined the phenomenon from a stakeholder perspective, paying limited attention to the communicative processes through which brands construct legitimacy. Addressing this gap, this study investigates how legitimacy is discursively constructed in Brand Activism through digital communication and examines the discursive foundations and positions u

Mega-events are increasingly used as strategic tools for place branding. However, public scrutiny of their social, economic, and environmental impacts has challenged organisers' ability to communicate intended place narratives and secure residents' support. Despite the participatory turn in place branding research, within mega-events research residents are predominantly conceptualised as e
