The poetry of Edith Södergran had a major influence on literary modernism in Scandinavia. The poems, and the person behind them, continue to intrigue. The authorship is divided into three periods; the second period is associated with the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche. In addition, several of Södergran’s earlier poems have been interpreted as inspired by Arthur Schopenhauer. In this thesis, I ex
Providing adequate climate finance, meaning funding for mitigation, adaptation or loss and damage, has been very high on the global policy agenda recently. The political economy and ecology behind it are much more complex and morally multidimensional than the mainstream finance world likes to present it though, which results in grave colonial injustices, international debt crises, deepened global
The figure of scenarios is frequently used in present-day climate science and plays a prominent role in the architecture of the IPCC Reports. In this work, I undertake a philosophical and critical investigation into the ontological, epistemological and temporal modalities of the figure of scenario. I do so by engaging with the term’s supra-scientific origins, with the history of its semantic alter
The question whether transnational activities can be continued by migrants' children, the second-generation, has been a discussed topic within the field of transnationalism. Being born into one cultural setting while raised in another calls into question the extent of their involvement in diverse transnational activities. This generation of immigrants, more than any other generation, need scho
Bakgrund: Genomförd litteraturöversikt berör sjuksköterskans erfarenhet av att tidigt identifiera patienter med sepsis samt vilka faktorer som påverkar identifieringen. Sepsis är ett globalt problem där 11 miljoner dör årligen. Sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll i den tidigare identifieringen då det ofta är hen som träffar patienten i form av triagering på akutmottagning eller ser patienten på
This research explores the cultural representation, identity, and practices of young Vietnamese Americans through TikTok. The primary argument is that social media plays a critical role in facilitating cultural exchange and cultivating a sense of belonging for young immigrants living far away from their ancestral homelands. The study focuses on the main theoretical discussions on culture in mediat
As more and more urban areas are planning and responding to climate change there is a need to understand the role that local action is having at the national and international level. The Paris Agreement called for a global goal on adaptation but in practice aggregating progress on adaptation is hard to achieve. Effective monitoring, evaluation, reporting, and learning systems are crucial to inform
When Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed in the Israeli-occupied West Bank in 2022, news of her death made headlines worldwide. She was a prominent broadcast journalist for Al Jazeera, who was covering an Israeli military raid when she was shot in the head and killed. Palestinians and Al Jazeera were quick to hold the Israeli military responsible for her killing, but in We
In an era of climate emergency, considerations of justice are increasingly gaining traction. The unequal exposure to climate vulnerabilities across the European landscape has created a North-South gap in adaptation, which is examined through the critical cases of Sweden and Greece. Drawing upon Manners’ (2002) Normative Power Approach to climate justice, the research speculates the EU’s promot
After the #MeToo movement in 2017, a widespread feeling that women’s rights have gone too far has emerged in Western patriarchal societies. In this context, women’s believability is (again) heavily contested, mainly through social media. The present study critically examines how Gen Z women negotiate believability through their engagement with TikToks about the Depp v. Heard trial. This defamation
This thesis investigates the unique queer male engagement with the podcast My Dad Wrote a Porno and its source material, the erotic novella Belinda Blinked. While gay or bisexual males are never present in the fictional story in the book series, queer male fans are amongst the most outspoken in online communities dedicated to the show. The matter of representation of queer males in media is a curr
“The voice of unheard: Chai Khana and the importance of independent media in encouraging diversity and inclusion” is a master thesis focusing on the case study of Chai Khana, an independent media platform located in the South Caucasus and covering the gender-related stories from the region, and how it represents the voices of gender oppression and marginalisation. Through adopting a methods triang
This thesis examines the development and deployment of artificial intelligence technologies in news media organisations. Here a framework is proposed to analyse new AI and digital technologies and their introduction within the news media and journalism sphere. The framework consists of three stages: applications and implications, and actors (AAI). The first stage of applications considers the tech
This thesis explored the experiences and performances of female Malawian YouTubers. It is grounded in the understanding of the digital realm as a liberal space in which common people can showcase their own realities without the mediation of the structures of censorship common in traditional media. At the core of the research which informed this thesis were two questions: firstly, in what ways is e
This study investigates the working life of people with immigrant backgrounds who work as language supporters to help the integration of refugees in a municipality in Sweden. Five language supporters were interviewed about their working experience in the municipality. Applying Joan Acker’s concept of inequality regime and Anders Neergaards’s concept of included subordination, the results of the st
This thesis explores the transformative impact of social media platforms on communication and representation. More specifically, it investigates the themes of motherhood portrayed in the YouTube videos of Swedish party leaders and how these themes relate to the process of democratic representation. The research centers around former Center party leader Annie Lööf and the current Christian Democrat
This thesis examines the social unfolding of the recent deplatformization of the far-right extremes on Telegram. Leaving prior approaches to moderation behind, this study asks questions around how moderation imprints itself on the complex terrain of meaning and practice, interacts with intensified reflexiveness of the social agents, and leaves affected collectivities changed in unanticipated ways.
Krinoidéer, eller sjöliljor, är en klass echinodermer som kan spåras tillbaka till mitten av ordovicium. Dessa växtlika marina invertebrater är antingen bottensittande eller frisimmande och representeras idag av omkring 600 arter, men gruppen var mycket större historiskt med över 6000 kända fossila arter. Patologiska eller missbildade krinoidéer är relativt vanligt förekommande i det fossila arkivCrinoids, or sea lilies, are a clade of echinoderms that can be traced back to the Middle Ordovician. These flower-like, marine invertebrates with a sessile or free-living mode of life, are represented by around 600 species in today’s oceans, but the clade was much more abundant and diverse in the past, with some 6000 fossil species known. Malformed and pathologic crinoids are relatively common in
Video games can be seen as a media that immerses players. The formation of a good game order is an important guarantee for players to engage in electronic games. This paper selects the most popular mobile MOBA game in China, "Honor of Kings," as the research object to analyze the formation process of the game order. In previous studies, game order has often been understood as game rules
