This thesis aims to show how indigeneity is used in the constitution of identity, and how the creation of identity and its underlying ideologies in turn are connected to global world systemic processes. Focus is on the Indian’s role in the constitution of identity of two disparate groups: the case studies which are presented here regard Mormons and The Rainbow Family of Living Light, the latter a

This study explores how Thai women in Sweden, working in the massage and wellness sector and members of the ThaiWISE initiative, navigate social stigma and negotiates their identities in the context of migration. Drawing on five semi-structured interviews, the study examines how these women manage the persistent association between Thai femininity and sex work, despite working in safe and regulate

The Iranian diaspora is rather well studied. Researchers have investigated wide topics within the diaspora, from its political activities, the identity of 2nd generation diaspora Iranians, to host society dynamics and nostalgia. These studies reveal an ethno-nationalist attitude, as many in the Iranian diaspora do not adhere to the Persian-dominated identity articulated by the Iranian diaspora. To

This thesis is partly about the phenomenon of how sound can be perceived differently in a comparison between the perceived sound and the experience of the sound, but also about the importance of ear training generally for music making. In a similar way we use language to think, musicians can think the music silently in advance. In English, the term audiation has been used to describe this phenomen

This bachelor's thesis examines how narratives about queer and/or norm-critical performance strategies can counteract the reproduction of stage stereotypes and preconceived normative role interpretations on the independent theatre stages in Sweden. Based on three dyadic interviews with three different independent theatre groups in Sweden, I have analyzed narratives about queer and norm-critica

This study examines how national healthcare initiatives focused on person-centered care are put into practice within Sweden's healthcare system. It analyses how these national policies are represented and implemented in accreditation documents across six Swedish regions—Skåne, Västra Götaland, Jönköping, Halland, Kronoberg, and Östergötland. The research uses qualitative document analysis to e

This paper is about the maritime claims of The Philippines and China in the South China Sea, a strategic place in the Southeast Asia and perceived as rich in natural resources. Nine countries have shorelines on the South China Sea. It is composed of four (4) island groups, one of which is the Spratlys, strategically located in Asia, with important and busy shipping lanes, rich natural resources an

För att garantera en rättssäker brottmålsprocess är det av stor betydelse att den misstänkte får insyn i det material som innehas av polisen och åklagaren. Utan insyn i utredningsmaterialet skulle det starkt begränsa den misstänktes möjligheter att försvara sig på ett fullgott sätt och att kontrollera åklagarens och domstolens bedömning. Den misstänktes rätt till insyn är emellertid inte absolut oIn order to guarantee that the criminal proceedings are in compliance with the rule of law, it is of great importance that the suspect has access to the materials held by the police and the prosecutor. Without such access, it would severely limit the suspect’s access to adequate facilities for the preparation of his defence and ability to verify the prosecutor’s and the court’s assessment. However

Homelessness is a major concern in todays society. Nevertheless, the place of the church S:ta Clara in Stockholm, Sweden, has an individual will to diminish homeless individuals and improve their standard of living. The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis is to investigate the place and space of S:ta Clara. It’s about the everyday life of homeless individuals who socialize and could obtain security

Declining bond yields and rising public debts have caused many economists to suggest raising the debt ceiling in the EU’s Stability and Growth Pact. Implicitly, they argue for replacing GDP as the anchor with the bond yield. We discuss the risks of such a shift. While such a change would provide short-term relief to highly indebted EU member states, it is based on the expectation that bond yields

Abstract The discussion of the transition to farming in southern Africa and the formation of Early Iron Age society, referred to in Mozambican archaeology as the Early Farming Communities (EFC), is complicated by the lack of surveys in key areas of intensive contacts. This article presents the results of excavations at the EFC site Chicumbane in the eastern lower Limpopo Valley, dated 500–800 AD.

This chapter explores the interrelationship between neoliberalism and economic inequality through a comparison of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, using Sweden as a main case and the other three major Nordic countries as comparative cases. The argument is that the relationship between neoliberalism and inequality isn’t a one-way street, but rather a question of mutual determination.

This study uses a novel approach to identifying local contextual conditions conducive, alone or in combination to far-right political violence. The studied case is asylum housing attacks occurring in Sweden 2015-16. Using a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis of eighty-six Swedish municipalities, forty-two of which have experienced arson attacks against refugee housing facilities, we operat

Sixty-nine patients with locally advanced breast cancer were given induction chemotherapy with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (day 1) followed by methotrexate and 5-Fu (day 8). Thirty-two of these patients were also given tamoxifen (days 2-6) in an attempt to induce a G1 arrest in cancer cells, and oestrogen (days 7-8) to stimulate proliferation and thus induce a synchronized wave of proliferati

It is generally accepted that there were well-established relationships between castles and commerce in medieval Sweden. However, to date, the complexities of those relationships have arguably not been fully explored. Through focusing on archaeological evidence from three very different examples, Stockholm, Borgholm and Piksborg, this paper seeks to illustrate the variety of often intimate and com
