The genetics underlying bird migration have been the subject of several studies. Two willow warbler subspecies (Phylloscopus trochilus trochilus and Phylloscopus trochilus acredula) follow different routes during their winter migration to Africa. Their breeding territories overlap in a contact area or “migratory divide” across central Scandinavia and to the east of the Baltic sea. Previous genome-

Risk communication is recognised as an essential component of crisis preparedness, enabling people at risk to take informed decisions to protect themselves. Research has shown that foreign-born people including refugees and immigrants to a lesser extent than others are reached by the information and are less prepared for crisis, making them particularly vulnerable in crisis situations. Employing a

Varje år tvångsomhändertas tusentals barn av socialnämnden och placeras för vård enligt LVU i ett familjehem. Att tvångsvårda ett barn är mycket ingripande, men vad innebär egentligen ett sådant omhändertagande? Vad kan barnets familj göra och vad har socialnämnden för skyldigheter för att möjliggöra ett upphörande av vården? Ställs barnkonventionen mot EKMR i någon del av processen och vad innebäEach year, the social service forcibly places thousands of children for care within LVU in a foster home. To forcibly place a child for care is a very intrusive measure, but what does this placement really mean? What can the child’s family do and what obligations do the social service have for the care to cease? Is the convention on the rights of the child put against ECHR at any moment and what d

This essay examines how Swedish English as foreign language (EFL) students in the English 7 course can be taught textual interpretation skills through working with fiction in the classroom, using Bram Stoker’s 1897 epistolary novel Dracula as an example novel. A qualitative text analysis of Stoker’s novel was conducted, using Grice’s maxims of conversation and the concept of focalization, to deter

Saudi Arabia was among the thirteen states elected to the UN Commission on the Status of Women in April of 2017. The Commission on the Status of Women is the leading women’s rights promoting and protecting body of the world, whereas the state of Saudi Arabia is infamous for conducting systematic discrimination towards women. The conflicting natures of a state were women’s rights are restricted to

In an extensive analysis of seven coastal sites that are spread across the East and West coast of southern Sweden, animal economy and specialised hunting is at the forefront of interpreting the subsistence strategy and mobility in Mesolithic hunter-gatherer societies. Through comparative data, the following thesis will observe the differences and similarities between the aforementioned coastal reg

Outsourcing and contract manufacturing have developed as effective business strategies for electronics manufacturing services in the recent years. Most Consumer Electronic brand firms do not actually make the consumer products they sell but hire contract manufacturers, mostly in the developing world. Asia is currently the major production base of mobile phones for instance, with China and ASEAN ac

The use of readmission agreements and safe third country rules enable the allocation of protection responsibilities from EU member states to third countries. Due to the increased displacement of individuals from Syria and Afghanistan, these legal mechanisms have been of increased importance to the European Union asylum policy during the recent year. The purpose of this thesis is to examine to what

In a country with a large historical and current share of emissions, recent climate inaction and political upheaval have disallowed substantial social-environmental reforms from being endorsed. This thesis critically examines the current cycle of contention in the United States by classifying the Sunrise Movement and the Democratic Socialists of America as social movement organizations through the

Museums have long had an important role as institutions for learning and education. In recent years, the pedagogical role of museums has become more important. Museums can offer a different kind of learning compared to the formal education system, and museums can be important resources for schools. However, as a recent report from The Swedish National Heritage Board shows, many museums are struggl

Migration är en oundviklig och betydande konsekvens av klimatförändringar. Varje år tvingas millioner människor lämna sina hem i kölvattnet av katastrofer och fler väntas migrera i takt med att klimatförändringar ökar i frekvens och magnitud. Det saknas dock rättsliga mekanismer för att gripa an klimatrelaterad migration. Därmed syftar uppsatsen till att kritiskt undersöka i vilken utsträckning prMillions of people are displaced annually due to environmental stress and degradation, causing them to move in prospects of a sustainable livelihood. However, given the lack of mechanisms and systems to provide legal protection for displaced individuals, the future of such migrants is uncertain. Using a human rights-based approach, this thesis critically examines whether the principle of non-refou

This essay will analyze Kazuo Ishiguro’s fantasy (or anti-fantasy) novel The Buried Giant (2016) from an ecocritical approach, with the aspiration to commence an ecocritical dialogue regarding the novel, which, at the time writing this, is non-existent. The first part of the analysis examines the portrayal of nature in The Buried Giant. After that, the text proceeds by looking at intertextual stor

As of 2020 an estimated number of 821 million people across the world are undernourished and that figure is expected to grow by 2 billion before the end of 2050 (United Nations Sustainable Development 2020). Despite this, every year over 1/3 of food produced globally is disposed of without consumption (Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition 2018), and the actual number might be

From 2002 to 2015, the Iranian nuclear program was a central issue of U.S. foreign policy. This issue was addressed by the administrations of Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama who had significantly different approaches to said issue. Consequently, the discourse used to address the issue was also different. This study argues that in addressing the issue of the Iranian nuclear program, ther

This thesis investigates the social position and political agency of women excombatants of the Farc-EP who laid down their arms after the 2016 peace agreement between the Colombian government and the Farc-EP. I show how, through the laying down of arms and reincorporation, women ex-combatants come to occupy a specific social position under historical and global power relations and intersecting for

The combined threat of poor air quality, physical inactivity, and climate change is a major sustainability challenge for the transport sector. Numerous policy interventions may address this, yet technological improvement measures, including the isolated introduction of Emissions Zones, are currently over-emphasised. There is a lack of policy mix evaluations in the literature, particularly those in

Luminescence dating is widely used in combination with sedimentological analysis to reconstruct the landscape development of the Quaternary period. Here, quartz and K-feldspar measurements are used to date and evaluate the luminescence characteristics of sediments from seven sites of the lower part of the Velická valley (995-1250 m a.s.l.) in the High Tatra Mountains, Slovakia. The quartz and K-f
