This article takes a selection of works of contemporary photography as starting points in a discussion about globalised movements, connections, and conflicts. The aim of the article is two-fold; first, to bring out and analyze how contemporary photography today finds new strategies with which to engage with aspects of the phenomenon of globalisation, and second, to contribute to a beginning tenden

I den här boken sätter olika kulturforskare in minnesmärken i ett europeiskt sammanhang och visar hur de vördas eller ringaktas; hur de blir uttryck för starka känslor och politiska manifestationer.

Homelessness as a political and social dominion has a number of features that make it particularly difficult to tackle. In addition to being a wicked problem, homelessness offers several analytical avenues. How do these characteristics affect the evaluation of programmes and projects aspiring to combat homelessness? Dissimilar pictures and solutions regarding homelessness in the US and in European

Detta examensarbete utvärderar ett absorptionshämmande tillsatsmedel för att möjliggöra användningen av krävande ballast vid betongtillverkning. Den huvudsakliga anledningen till att ballasten benämns som krävande är att den har ovanligt hög absorptionsförmåga. Studien undersöker hur betongens egenskaper påverkas av olika halter absorptionshämmare. Dels studerades glimmerrikt bergkrossmaterial, soThis master thesis evaluates an absorption-inhibiting admixture to enable the use of demanding aggregate materials in concrete production. This was achieved by investigating how the properties of concrete were affected by different levels of absorption inhibitor. Firstly, mica-rich aggre-gate material was studied, which, due to its high mica mineral content, has a high water absorption rate that i

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kartering av makrofyter, framtagandet av en klassificeringsmetod för att kunna beräkna ekologisk status för Ålands skärgård och skapandet av miljöövervakningsprogram Europeiska unionen har i sitt miljöarbete bestämt att varje medlemsland ska upprätta övervakningsprogram och klassificeringsmetoder för att övervaka miljöns ekologiska status. Varje medlemsland anAbstract This mater project was conducted in Åland by assignment by the Government of Åland Islands. The project consisted of two parts, one survey of macrophytes and classification of the ecological status and a proposal on a marine monitoring program. The survey of macrophytes was conducted in the late summer of 2012, by SCUBA divers along 50 meters long transect at twelve sites in the Åland ar

This thesis examines youth attitudes toward the gender-system and the believed causes of gender roles: biology or social factors. The study has been designed as a survey conducted among 116 Swedish 9th graders, where the students had to classify weather stereotype roles and tasks are more natural for one sex than the other, or both.

In the United States of America media and the press have the important role of being ”the fourth estate of government” which means that American media has the task to examine the political processes taking place within the country, as well as the USA's actions abroad. The importance of media not being biased or not framing certain kind of information cannot be overemphasized, but despite this,

The planetary boundaries (PBs) framework defines a "safe operating space" based on nine key Earth system processes. Out of these, four are terrestrial, and their primary driver of transgression is agriculture. To better understand how agricultural activities might further influence the terrestrial PBs, it is essential to model their drivers and interactions over time. A helpful tool for

Du lär dig identifiera och bedöma risker och sårbarhet inom områden som t.ex. exponering för kemikalier, arters utdöende, inflyttning av invasiva arter och epidemiologi samt att arbeta med de vanligaste riskhanteringsmodellerna som används inom natur-, miljö- och hälsoområdena. Kursen omfattar områdena riskidentifiering, riskbedömning, riskvärdering, riskhantering och riskkommunikation.You learn to identify and assess risks and vulnerability in areas such as e.g. exposure to chemicals, species extinction, introduction of invasive species and epidemiology as well as working with the most common risk management models used in the nature, environment and health fields. The course covers the areas of risk identification, risk assessment, risk valuation, risk management and

The programme is organised into three different tracks. When applying for the programme, you also select which track you are specialising in. The different tracks share courses to some extent. The process of economic development essentially rests on the interaction of its three pillars: income per capita growth, distribution of the fruits of growth and structural change.

Kursen introducerar studenter för ett representativt urval dikter från den brittiska romantiska perioden (c. 1770-1830). Det här var en tid av omvälvande konstnärliga, samhälleliga, vetenskapliga och kunskapsmässiga förändringar, och som också såg tillkomsten av det 'moderna' Europa. Många av de kulturella debatter som fortfarande sysselsätter Europa idag härrör från denna tid. Poesi spelade en viThe course will introduce students to a representative selection of poetry from the British Romantic period (c. 1770-1830). This was a time of profound artistic, social, scientific, and epistemic change which witnessed the birth of 'modern' Europe and inaugurated many of the cultural debates that still preoccupy European society today. Poetry played an important role in both shaping and refle
