The discussion of what the notion of ‘persecution’ entails seems to be evergreen during a time when people are more and more on the move fleeing deprivation of socioeconomic rights. A ‘human rights approach’ to the refugee definition, namely an interpretation by reference to human rights standards, is now endorsed in relevant scholarship. This thesis explores how the disability-specific standards
The international trade in coffee is widely acknowledged to perpetuate unequal structures between producing and consuming countries. While coffee is largely grown in and provides a large proportion of income for developing countries, most of the value-added activities are performed in developed countries. This paradox is exemplified in the case of Uganda where coffee is exported almost exclusively
The global community has acknowledged the role of cities and specifically of public spaces for achieving sustainable development. The purpose of this study is to contribute to increasing knowledge on the significance of public spaces for social sustainability to create sustainable cities and communities.

Drawing on Charles Taylor’s modern social imaginary, this study offers a perspective for understanding how teachers are represented and characterized in American news media. Specifically, I study the way the social imaginary of teachers contributes to the performance of Arlie Russell Hochschild’s notion of emotional labor. I use this approach to analyze a case study of teacher representations in A
The way conflicts are understood depends on how identities are conveyed through media. Newspapers’ reports of the Gilets Jaunes protests in France during the autumn 2018 are no exception. One factor that can influence which choices are made in describing identity, is the distance between the place of publication and the location of events. Articles from Le Figaro and The Times are analysed using d
Decisions taken in the boardroom are considered to be of crucial importance for corporate governance, not least due to their wide-ranging implications for both an organization and its stakeholders.

Vision is often considered to top the hierarchy of the senses, reflected for example in the high relative frequency of vision verbs, in comparison to other perception verbs. Results from some previous studies, however, have shown that there is greater cross-linguistic variation concerning perception language than previously thought, emphasising other sense modalities than vision. This thesis condu
Hepatobiliary excretion can be a major clearance pathway dictating the pharmacokinetics of drugs. Quantitative prediction of human hepatobiliary excretion of drugs is thus essential in early drug development. Extrapolations from current in vitro models are challenging due to differences in expression of enzymes and transporters from native liver tissue. This study aims to utilise 3D spheroids of p

Development of genetically modified microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae for use as microbial cell factories to produce fine and bulk chemicals has lately proceeded very rapidly, much thanks to new gene editing methods based on a CRISPR/Cas9 system adapted from bacteria which increases the rate of genetic engineering. However, development of methods which enable fast and simple screenin
