1. Institutions and Economic Growth in the Late Ottoman Empire: A Quantitative Approach, 1820-1913
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenSammanfattning : This thesis studies the institutions and economic development of the late Ottoman Empire, examining whether institutions can explain the economic development of the regions and countries subject to it during the period of 1820-1913. The thesis aims to quantify the institutional determinants of geography, religion/culture, and political economy/interests, and it employs a semi-experimental approach of using inequality extraction ratios as an indicator for the political economy.

2. Snow-graupel collisions in clouds: a newly derived formulation for breakup of single crystals
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : The observed and well-known discrepancy between concentrations of ice nucleating particles in the environment and the concentrations of ice particles in clouds show that there are additional ‘secondary’ processes enhancing the concentrations of ice particles. In present-day modelling of weather and climate, such processes are mostly overlooked and thus a cause for uncertainty. LÄS MER

5. Occupied Peripheries: Rethinking Landscape in the Anthropocene Visuality
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för konsthistoria och visuella studierSammanfattning : Although landscape representations in the US-European culture have traditionally been acknowledged as a peaceful ordering of the world or the tool of imperialism, nationalism and private property (sometimes all simultaneously), a new shift in the landscape scopic regime seems to be happening. Produced by the current rise of concerns around climate change and environmental crisis, this shift seems to be related to a specific attention to land use and land value. LÄS MER
