Through salience and framing, the media has significant power in influencing how the public views a given political, societal, or economic issue. Through the lens of framing theory, this research paper is investigating how immigration was framed in two Swedish and 4 United Kingdom newspapers during the week surrounding the Brussels terrorist attack on 22 March 2016 in a content analysis. By lookin

The aim of this thesis is to set up a high-fidelity fluid structure interaction (FSI) simulation environment to study the gust load alleviation capability of camber-morphing airborne wind energy (AWE) wings. The simulation environment will enable studying the transient flow phenomena around the wing when encountering wind gusts and gives the possibility of investigating dynamic instabilities. To m

The democratic peace theory explains why liberal democratic states do not engage in war with one another. According to Michael Doyle, the theory rests on three pillars, which together explain the democratic peace - whereas one of which pillars is of interest for this thesis. The cosmopolitan pillar is concerned with the “spirit of commerce”, that is, international trade and economic interdependenc

The Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) of the European Union (EU) is based on the Member States’ foreign policy preferences. Several third states are however at times invited to align with certain CFSP acts, a procedure which provides the EU with support for its diplomatic efforts. The degrees to which these invited states align with CFSP acts differ substantially. This thesis has taken a b

Moving between hegemony and counter hegemony this thesis adds to the field of food politics by contributing to a further understanding of current hegemonic relations within this topic and counter-hegemonic theory in general. In the form of an interview study it draws upon the narratives of radical leftist activists in Lund and Malmö in order to outline a hegemonic framework within food politics in

How to sustainably feed the world amounts to one of our biggest contemporary challenges. In Sweden, the environmental footprint of the dairy industry has caused a lively debate which culminated in a law-suit between LRF Mjölk and Oatly over the use of marketing phrases such as “Wow No Cow” and “No Soy. No Milk. No Badness”. Even though Oatly lost, their development was not hampered; thus, this the

Since the Financial and Eurozone crisis that erupted in 2009/2010, Germany has seen the rise of a new populist radical right party; the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). In the years after its establishment in 2013, this party has experienced many electoral successes and entered not only thirteen federal state parliaments, but also the European Parliament in 2014. This development is atypical for

In October 2016 the European Border and Coast Guard [EBCG] was installed as the new institutional structure responsible for border management. In contrast to its predecessor Frontex, the EBCG consists not only of an agency but also of the respective national authorities, responsible for border management and coastguard functions. A better understanding of the creation of the EBCG is needed because

Ever since the EU’s sanctions against Russia were imposed in 2014, the bloc has managed to keep a united stance outwards. Under the surface, the measures have however generated sharp divisions among some of the Member States, where one faction wants to scrap the sanctions, while another faction wants to see them expanded. Divisions of this proportion are unprecedented in the EU’s sanctions history

Social capital and political participation are created by deliberations. Often these deliberations occur within one’s housing context. Therefore, this thesis investigates how different housing contexts impact upon an individual's political participation. By examining thoroughly this under researched topic and by applying a new methodological approach a scientific contribution is made. Moreover

In the beginning of 2016 an intense debate took place in Swedish media concerning the quality of higher education. In the debate it was claimed that the quality is in decline partly due to result based financing for universities and an increase in competition amongst them. Despite the large interest for the subject no study has so far been conducted to discern what is true and what is not. This st

Migration har ökat blivit en politisk fråga. I och med att EU och medlemsstaterna satsar mer pengar på gränskontroll så har en lukrativ marknad öppnats för privata företag. Syftet med förevarande uppsats är att undersöka privatiseringen av förvar i EU och dess konsekvenser. Uppsatsen ämnar undersöka de juridiska problem som kan uppstå när private aktörer blir ökat involverade i förvarsregimen. VidThe role of migration in the world has become a highly politicised issue. With more money than ever put into the border control and migration management a platform has opened up for private actors. This thesis aims to explore the privatisation of migration detention in the EU and the consequences thereof. This thesis aims to explore the legal issues that could arise when private entities are getti

Jag har i mitt kandidatarbete bundit kolmonoxidmolekyler mellan en iridiumyta och grafénflingor, placerade i vakuum. Processen gjordes möjlig genom att först placera vattenöar under grafénflingorna, som öppnade upp flingkanterna tillräckligt för att tillåta kolmonoxidmolekylerna att ta sig emellan.The aim of this project is to use scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to investigate how a super-dense phase of OH and H2O, intercalated between graphene flakes and their Ir(111) substrate, facilitates intercalation of CO underneath the graphene flakes at ultra high vacuum (UHV) conditions. The structure and growth of pristine graphene flakes on Ir(111) is discussed and the formation of dense isla

Bakgrund: När en kvinna får en bröstcancerdiagnos, så är det inte enbart hon själv som drabbas utan även hennes närstående. De närståendes behov av stöd bör därför också uppmärksammas. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva vilken typ av stöd som närstående till bröstcancerdrabbade kvinnor kan vara i behov av. Metod: En litteraturöversikt med en integrerad analys av åtta vetenskapliga studier g

The topic of Basic Colour Terms (BCT) and their proposed universality has long been a source of debate within linguistics. Whether colour terms (as symbols) fill lexical gaps of presumed universal colour categories (as senses) or not is relevant for the debate regarding linguistic relativity: the hypothesis about the influence of language on the way we think. Until now, there has been a focus on

I denna uppsats presenteras resultaten av ett kandidatarbete i geologi som gjordes i samband med studier vid Lunds universitet 2016. Syftet med arbetet har varit att göra en tolkning av miljö och klimat i ett område vid ön Anholt i södra Kattegatt under en period i Bölling-Alleröd ca 14 600-13 700 år sedan. Genom att studera skalen hos fossila bottenlevande foraminiferer har vi funnit belägg för a

Den svenska spelmarknaden är monopoliserad och i nuläget förbehållen den svenska staten. All spel- och lotteriverksamhet regleras av lotterilagen vars främsta syfte är att motverka sociala och ekonomiska skadeverkningar av spel och spelande. Lotterilagen bygger på att tillstånd krävs för att få verka på den svenska marknaden och för tillfället finns det tre dominerande aktörer, Svenska Spel, ATG oCurrently the Swedish gaming market is monopolized and reserved to the Swedish government. The Lotteries Act, which governs all games and lotteries, has the primary purpose of counteracting social and economic harm that can be caused by games and gambling. According to the Lotteries Act, a permit is required to be able to operate on the Swedish market. At present, there are three dominant operator

osämjans värde - en studie av vad staden vill och en förhoppning om vad den skulle kunna vara I underrubriken tillskriver jag staden som enhet en förmåga att önska, att vara bärare av drift och begär. I och med det ges den en roll som subjekt i relation till sina invånare. I det här arbetet diskuterar jag vad stadens samlade funktion skapar för drivkrafter. Hur staden medvetet och omedvetet via sThe Virtues of Discord - A Study of What the City Wants and an Anticipation of What It Could Be The subtitle of this thesis which reads: “A Study of What the City Wants and an Anticipation of What It Could Be” bestows upon The City the ability to want, to possess needs and desires. Through this process The City attains agency in relation to its inhabitants. I examine the ideas and motivations of

I detta arbete studerar vi en partiell differentialekvation som bland annat används som en modell för vattenvågor och Bose-Einstein-kondensat. Vi undersöker lösningar som är icke-radiella och går mot noll i oändligheten. Genom att göra en speciell ansats reducerar vi ekvationen till en ordinär differentialekvation. Vi visar att denna ekvation har lösningar med godtyckligt antal nollställen. Vi undWe consider the partial differential equation ∆u + f(u) = 0 in two dimensions,where f is a nonlinear function of u. Under certain assumptions on f we show that the equation has non-radial C² solutions with u(x) → 0 as |x| → 0 with an arbitrary number of zeros on each axis. The equation has applications in Bose-Einstein condensation and water waves among other fields. We also look at numerical solu
