An important camp within the emerging field of resistance studies hasbeen characterised by a tendency to study and theorise matters of culture,language, and discourse at the expense of matter itself. For researchersinterested in feminist resistance, feminist new materialism – with its focuson the entanglements of ‘natureculture’, matter, the body, sexual differ-ence, agency, and change – might app

Biomass residues have been identified as potentially promising resources for production of bio-based products and fuels with low climate impacts. Unlike primary biomass such as crops, using residual biomass may avoid issues such as competition over land for food and feed production. To assess the climate impacts of products made from residual biomass, a life cycle assessment (LCA) may be used, butBiomass residues have been identified as potentially promising resources for production of bio-based products and fuels with low climate impacts.

This thesis investigates the development of labor market policies directed at immigrants in Sweden, during the period of 1968-2010. The theoretical framework is built around three distinct ideas concerning the concept of citizenship – one libertarian, one empowering and a last one called caring, in the sense that it emphasizes the responsibility of society. My material consists of government publi

This study investigates how the volume and flow of passengers affect dwell times, using data from commuter trains in Stockholm. We show that dwell times often take longer than scheduled and that most station stops involve rather limited numbers of passengers. Improving the performance at these stops with small volumes can thus have a sizeable impact on the overall on-time performance. We find a qu

In 2023, the first edition of the diachronic-contemporary Swedish AcademyDictionary (SAOB) was finished after more than 130 years of work. The dictionary contains over 500,000 entries and describes the Swedish language from the 1520s to the present day. However, a consequence of the extended time of publication is that a significant part of the content, in particular in the first volumes, was out In 2023, the first edition of the diachronic-contemporary Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) was finished after more than 130 years of work.

The purpose of this study is to understand how we talk and write about and our understanding of crimes, the perpetrator and victims. By using a gender discourse analysis of the media reporting of a specific crime committed in Sweden, “Knutbydramat” with two perpetrators of different sexes, we aim to see how the media represent and therefore consolidate the social norms in a society. The discourse

As a global society we are entering an era where land areas and land-based resources are coming to the fore once again for capital accumulation and economic growth, for the first time since the end of the 18th century whe

Popular Abstract in Undetermined The transparent wings of tiny parasitic wasps and small flies are remarkably thin, only a few hundreds nanometers thick, and may appear to have a simple structural airfoil design. The thesis deals with new findings about structural color reflections and the ultrastructure of such tiny transparent wings of parasitic wasps. The main discovery is that when seemingly tThe remarkably thin transparent wing membranes in tiny wasps may appear to have a simple structural design, but hide a largely unexplored complex of micro-morphological features that serve aerodynamics and may also function in visual signaling. I found that when such small transparent wings are viewed against a dark background they display vivid structural color patterns due to thin film interfere
