    Author : Christina Hansen; Bridget Anderson; Malmö universitet; []
    Keywords : Activism; Solidarity; Pro-asylum; Migrant emplacement; Gentrification; Malmö; Möllevången;

    Abstract : Written at the intersection of migration studies, urban studies, and research on activism, this thesis contributes to the exploration of solidarities born on the ground in an urban context marked by immigration and economic restructuring. Based on ethnographic material collected 2013­–2016 in Malmö, Sweden, it examines alliances and friendships generated across social, cultural, ethnic, and legal divides through a particular political practice—activism as carried out by the extra-parliamentarian left.

  4. 17. Type Ia Supernovae : Homogeneity and Diversity

    Author : Gabriele Garavini; Ariel Goobar; David Branch; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Physics;

    Abstract : The use of type Ia supernovae as distance estimators has shown that about 75% of the energy content of the universe has a negative equation of state parameter and thus, drives the acceleration of the universe. Constraining the exact nature of this energy is one of the main goals in cosmology. READ MORE
