Through interviews, many documents and secondary data, this dissertation investigates how fifty-four women activists participated in the public sphere in Egypt from the outbreak of the 2011 uprising to the re-emergence of the authoritarian regime in 2014. The women activists studied in the dissertation took part in various counter-publics of social movements, opposition political parties, and civi
This paper investigates how river privatisation in Turkey is deployed to expand renewable energy production and the implications this has for issues of ownership, rights to water and community life. Recent neoliberal reforms in Turkey have enabled the private sector to lease the rights to rivers for 49 years for the sole purpose of electricity production. The paper focuses on the re-scaling and re
As the most figurative asset of membership in a majority or minority and the most symbolic aspect of national authority, language is a major site of struggle for majority power and minority resistance. For the purposes of this study, which focuses on the question of Kurdish linguistic rights in Turkey, the sites of struggle for majority power and minority resistance are as follows: the documents o
A reliable electricity sector is imperative for the development and competitiveness of Costa Rica. During the last decade, electricity demand has been growing faster than the expansion of the power network, and the demand side efforts have been almost inexistent. Therefore, since 2007 the electricity sector of Costa Rica is in a vulnerable position. In fact, for 2014 energy shortages have been ant
En utgrävning gjordes nyligen i övergången mellan kambrium och ordovicium i alunskifferformationen utanför Södra Sandby i Skåne. Under sökandet efter konodonter i en kalkstensbädd från understa ordovicium upptäcktes mikroskopiska sfäruler 0,1-0,5 mm i diameter. Har dessa ett biologiskt ursprung eller har de bildats genom någon rent kemisk/geologisk process? Då det finns stora likheter med rapporteMicroscopic spherules, 0.1-0.5 mm in diameter, from the lowermost Ordovician Rhabdinopora flabelliforme parabola graptolite Zone of the Alum Shale Formation in Södra Sandby, Scania, southern Sweden, have been investigated. The specimens have been studied by light and scanning electron microscopy in order to assess their affin-ity, taphonomic history, and possible relation to metazoan embryos. Diff
In a study it was found that only 16% of IT projects in UK were considered successful (Al-Tameem et al, 2008). Underestimating IT adoption problems when implementing a project has been recognized as one of the reasons for the failures (Fink, 1998). The current research aims to study adoption by students of a new portal implemented in Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM). Qua
China’s cities are currently facing immense challenges due to the vast rural-urban migration that has been triggered by the country’s market-transition. The country’s rapid, top-down implemented, urban (re)developments have answered the call to a certain extent. However, the startling pace and scale of the projects has caused concerns internationally about the sustainability of its urban planning
Abstract In this thesis, a molecular PCR-based method was used to study the bacterial diversity in milk. The aim was to compare the microbiota of traditionally pasteurized milk with milk treated with a novel pasteurization technique, using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP). A second aim was to analyze the microbial composition of cheese produced from the two milk variant

This study was performed using daily spot prices, from January 1997 through July 2004; of the three assets that constitute the crack spread i.e. crude oil, gasoline and heating oil - all listed on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). Our objective has been to characterize the dynamics of the spread and subsequently create trading strategies to yield returns that surpass that of a passive appr
There is an idea that nations form the basis of identity. Through history the rulers have tried to connect the cultural identity of the population with the identity the state is supporting, in order to further legitimize their ruling. This has constructed a conception of cultural homogeneity within a country, which in these modern years becomes more and more problematic with flows of migration. We
The wastewater sector provides water sanitation to populations in order to preserve humanhealth and the natural environment. In developed countries, due among others to increasingpressures coming from climate change and population growth, the wastewater treatment isaffected and needs to adapt to such changes. As a result, effluent requirements arebecoming more stringent, nutrients and organic remo
This master thesis aims at deepening the understanding of actors interacting with competitors from the same business field within the tourism sector. Special attention is paid to small and medium sized enterprises. In order to increase the knowledge of the phenomenon the German network forum anders reisen consisting of small and medium sized tour operators has been used as the case to conduct empi
Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to investigate how organizations should be designed in order to work in the best possible way in China. Method: A theoretical background has been studied. The background covered mainly cultural studies, where a comparison between Sweden and China was made, and also design parameters for an organization. An empirical study took place in Shanghai, China, where m

Increased awareness, interest and use of assistive technology (AT) presents substantial opportunities for many citizens to become, or continue being, meaningful participants in society. However, there is a significant shortfall between the need for and provision of AT, and this is patterned by a range of social, demographic and structural factors. To seize the opportunity that assistive technology
