Denna avhandling handlar om en uppsättning aktiviströrelser under de hårdaste restriktionerna i samband med Covid-19-pandemin i Sverige. Dessa grupper protesterade både online och offline mot införda restriktioner och vaccinationer och visade en kritisk inställning till rekommendationer och restriktioner, till exempel genom att samlas i stora folkmassor. Studien syftar till att presentera och probThis thesis deals with a set of organized activist movements during the harshest restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic in Sweden. These groups protested both online and offline against imposed restrictions and vaccinations, displaying a critical attitude towards recommendations and restrictions such as by gathering in large crowds. The study aims to present and problematize the frameworks used by

On the morning of the 8th of April 2013, the world woke up to Abu Bakr Al- Baghdadi, the leader of what was called the Islamic State in Iraq or ISI, announcing the expansion of his group from Iraq into Syria. Al-Baghdadi also announced the merger of ISI and Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) into a new group called the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham or ISIS. Only one day after the announcement, JN released a

The amounts of sixty elements in developing, maturing, senescent and wilting leaves, and in the wintering dead leaves attached to the branches, are reported for a beech (Fagus sylvatica) forest on mor Podzol in south Sweden, a site with no local sources of pollution or geological anomalies. The amounts (contents per leaf) of K (potassium), Rb (rubidium), Cs (caesium), Cu (copper) and P (phosphorus

Naive male and female silver Y moths, Autographa gamma (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), were attracted in a flight tunnel assay to potted creeping thistle, Cirsium arvense (Asteraceae), butterfly-orchid, Platanthera bifolia (Orchidaceae), soapwort, Saponaria officinalis (Caryophyllaceae), greater knapweed, Centaurea scabiosa (Asteraceae), red clover, Trifolium pratense (Fabaceae), and catnip, Nepeta faas

New data on the levels and long-range transport of plutonium in the Arctic Ocean, recorded in the course of two expeditions to this zone in, 1994 and 1996, are discussed in this paper. Specifically, approximately 100 plutonium measurements in surface and sub-surface water sampled at 58 separate stations throughout the Kara, Laptev and East Siberian Seas, as well as along latitudinal transects acro

The collective identity is subject to permanent negotiation. Due to the lack of incentive to offer public statements, the collective identity of Japanese bureaucrats (or kanryo, 官僚) has been constructed separately inside and outside of the ministries. This paper explores how the collective identity of kanryo has been constructed in two Japanese national newspapers as outsider discourses using stru

A general introduction to the status of the European Spallation Source ESS AB is given. As well as a general overview, the status of instruments and instrument design is presented. Particular attention is given to the instrument selection process, and how a proposal for a fundamental neutron physics beamline should be submitted. The contents of this presentation closely reflect the recently comple

Background: The survival of patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer is still poor, with 5-year survival rates of 24-35%. The identification of prognostic and predictive markers at the molecular and cellular level could make it possible to find new therapeutic targets and provide "taylor made" treatments. Established cell lines of human squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are valuable model

Aims: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with a clinical phenotype characterized by a high degree of insulin resistance are at increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We previously demonstrated that the endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) atrasentan reduced insulin resistance in T2D. In this study, we compared the effect of atrasentan on insulin resistance across different phenotypic clusters

The vertical shear instability and the streaming instability are two robust sources of turbulence in protoplanetary disks. The former has been found to induce anisotropic turbulence that is stronger in the vertical than in the radial dimension and to be overall stronger compared to the largely isotropic turbulence caused by the streaming instability. In this study, we shed light on the dust diffus

Objective. To investigate the course of disability related to the upper extremities (UEs) in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to assess correlations between such disability and clinical variables, including grip force. Methods. In an inception cohort of patients with early RA (diagnosed 1995-2005, N = 222, follow-up 10 yrs), disability of the UEs was assessed using a subscore of the Health Ass

The conflict between climate and economic development is one of the most significant dilemmas of this era. Under the prevalent discourse of sustainable development and green economy, many believe that environmental problems can be addressed through market-based approaches under the current capitalist economic regime (Waters, 2008). The purpose of this thesis was to analyze the case of Ant Forest,

Transitional justice inevitably means striking a balance between justice and peace. The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyze how policies of truth and justice have fared over time and continue to hold momentum in the case of Chile and Argentina. I will carry out this aim through a comparative study guided essentially by two theoretical approaches of transitional justice- legalism and pr

The paper will discuss the design of a new organization of library services at Lund University, Sweden with special emphasis on the motives and drivers behind the reorganization. The university management has decided the reorganization after an evaluation report with recommendations. The new structure of the library services is designed as a network of libraries with a coordination and management

A study on the noise generated by a subsonic four bladed propeller installed on a wing of an aircraft near the ground is presented. The method used is based on an acoustical analogy developed by Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings. Computations of the flow field are performed using LES with the incompressible fluid assumption, while the noise is evaluated using a non-homogeneous wave equation. The aim is
