Journalism profession and journalists’ practices are usually critiqued when a new shift happens. Currently, digitalization of the newsrooms, economic state of journalism and changing labour conditions have an impact on shaping the models according to which newsrooms work and journalists understand their professional roles and identities. The aforementioned changes within the profession are usually
Sport is a crucial arena in which hegemonic masculinity is constructed and reinforced. The creation of gendered hierarchies is a powerful tool contributing to the persistence of male dominance, subordinating those not conforming to the specific expectations of what counts as ‘masculine’. Conducting an analysis of 24 German and British online articles reporting on weightlifting during the 2012 Lond
This thesis investigates how the concept of intersectionality travels from policy to practice through the work of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). This is done by looking at two parts of the policy process: policy formulation and policy implementation. By using the ‘What’s the Problem Represented to be’ approach to policy analysis, the first part examines how inters
Because gender inequalities in the private sphere have for consequences the development of a second-class citizenship for women, aiming for gender equality in the private sphere is fundamental in order to tend towards equality in the society as a whole. Yet, it is a complex goal to reach. Indeed, family policies are only a small part of a system where social, economic and cultural factors are inte
The voting behavior of the Members of the European Parliament (MEP) has been widely studied. However, little is written about the effects of crises. This thesis tries to understand how the Covid-19 pandemic affected the MEPs voting behavior in relation to their European political group (EPG) and in addition their national party. This was done using the two theories: the two principal dilemma
A strong linkage between the political views of the public and political elites is a fundamental feature of the democratic process. This master thesis aims to analyze the congruence between politicians and voters regarding the proposal to prohibit private welfare companies to earn profit. By using a matched pair of surveys collected during the years of 2012 and 2017, this essay analyses how issue

Indigenous populations often bore the brunt of Christian settler colonization resulting in marginalization, assimilation, Christianization, and cultural elimination. Most perpetrators of colonial injustices go unpunished and wrongdoings unacknowledged, barring the possibility of genuine international and national reconciliation for indigenous peoples. Major settler colonizer states have dark colon
This thesis explores the dynamics of relationships, focusing on the themes of love, unpaid labour and unequal division. This research examines how traditional gender roles and societal expectations shape the experiences of individuals within heterosexual relationships in Sweden. Through a qualitative methodology, including semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, the study reveals the mul
Over the last decades, reporting on sustainability has become an integral part of corporate social responsibility (CSR), as a way for companies to ensure and report on sustainable development alongside their operations. In achieving sustainable development globally the reduction of gender inequality is widely regarded as crucial, and with the UN 2030 sustainable development agenda specifically cal
Investors are constantly searching for ways to protect their wealth, ideally without losing out on long-term returns. To achieve this, some investors choose to diversify their equity portfolios with fixed income assets, believing they can protect their portfolios from drawdowns. However, the current literature is divided on the effectiveness of fixed income assets as a shock-absorber during severe
The superconductivity under doping in the famous cuprate compounds is believed to originate in the CuO2 planes. The mediator of pairing is generally accepted to be induced from electronic degrees of freedom. While many mechanisms, such as spin fluctuations, have been proposed throughout the years, little research has been carried out on the role of the retarded attraction due to electronic overscr
Merger control in Sweden and the EU has done a prominent job in adapting to the special competitive aspects of digital platforms. Merger investigations by the Swedish Competition Authority and the European Commission include an assessment of the significant impediment to effective competition (SIEC test). The test is described in article 4(1) of the Swedish Competition Act and articles 2(2) and 2(
Elektromagnetiska vågor, även kända som radiovågor, är vågor som sprider sig med låga frekvenser från 3 till 30 kHz. Dessa lågfrekventa vågor används vanligtvis när man önskar kommunicera med ubåtar. De kan emellertid också användas på land för att mäta skillnader i jord– och bergarters elektriska konduktivitet. Denna mätteknik kallas Very-Low-Frequency Electromagnetics (VLF-EM) och har framgångsrElectromagnetic waves, also known as radio waves, which propagate at low frequencies of only 3 kHz to 30 kHz, are usually used for communication with submarines. However, these waves can also be used on land to measure differences in the electrical conductivity of the subsurface. This technique is called Very-Low-Frequency Electromagnetics (VLF-EM) and has been successfully used to gain an insight
