Income disparities and planetary boundaries present worldwide threats to social stability and security. An extensive body of literature studies the determinants of income inequality. Generally, economic growth and environmental sustainability are found to have moderating effects on income inequality. Adjusted net savings (ANS) is a composite indicator measuring sustainable development assessin

Situated in Vietnam’s transitional vacuum in its urban cores Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, this study is rooted in the aim to understand the emerging variants of coworking spaces currently proliferating across the country. This aim is realized by conducting a multiple case study and semi-structured interviews with nine founders, community managers and users of coworking spaces from heterogeneous bac

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake followed by a 15-meter tsunami and a nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi changed the normal course of events in Japan and far beyond it. Among other consequences, the events triggered a sudden increase in domestic and international media coverage. Approaching the theory of media framing, this thesis focused on the evolution of the nuclear energy disc

This thesis outlines an exploratory study which aimed at understanding the influencing factors of parenting practices change among three generations. The theoretical position of this research draws on the work of pragmatism of Bourdieu (1986) who proposed the cultural capital as well as Laraeu (2021), who brought forward the concerted cultivation and natural growth parenting practice methods. Base

Hållbar utveckling är ett mål för samtliga branscher men även för landet och världen. Byggnationen av infrastruktur och bostäder står i dagsläget för omkring 40% av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser, vilket innebär att stora förändringar krävs för att nå de uppsatta klimatmålen till år 2045, alltså att Sverige inte skall ha några nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser. Asfalt består till majoriteten Sustainable development is an important goal for industries, both nationally and globally. The construction of infrastructure and housing currently accounts for about 40% of Sweden's total greenhouse gas emissions, which means that major changes are required to achieve the set climate goals by 2045, i.e., that Sweden will have no net greenhouse gas emissions. Asphalt consists for the most part

Purpose: In preparation of several future missions with the objective to research the large icy moons of the Solar System, it is necessary to have a cohesive understanding of the conditions that might lead to the formation of liquid oceans in these moons. The purpose of this work is to create a numerical model for simulating the temperature evolution of the cores of large icy moons. Method: AssumiIn the early 17th century when Galileo Galilei first decided to point a telescope at Jupiter, he noticed four faint objects placed around it on the same line. As he spent more and more nights viewing them he realised that instead of moving in the same direction as Jupiter these four objects in fact orbited the planet itself. This proved that it is possible for another body to be the centre of grav

Syfte: Att beskriva den expressiva och impressiva språkförmågan hos barn med cochleaimplantat (CI) i förhållande till normalhörande barn i samma ålder, och undersöka samband mellan språkförmågor och daglig CI-användning, talexponering och exekutiva funktioner. Metod: I studien ingick elva barn med CI mellan 3 år, 9 månader och 6 år, 11 månader.

Method: The participants were eleven children with CIs aged between 3 years, 9 months and 6 years, 11 months. The children’s l

Social innovation has the potential to tackle many challenges humanity is facing on a global and national level. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how social innovation emerge and is disseminated. In this development social innovation anchor in niches and prevailing sociotechnical regimes and eventually form durable linkages. This study contributes insights into the anchoring process of soc

Consumers evaluate each step of their journey, which influences consumer’s expectations for further experiences and future intentions. Accordingly, past experiences are stored in consumers’ memory but each part of the journey will not be remembered. What drives further behaviours and intentions are the events of the experience that are considered more emotional and atypical, also called peaks. The

By doing a quantitative content analysis the content of judgements, handed down by the district courts of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö, have been categorized and quantified. The information was categorized by the variables th

Vi ser en förändring i relationen mellan det samtida individualiserade jaget och en ny typ av emotionell marknadsföring. Genom att undersöka det svenska rakhyvel-företaget Estrids Instagramflöde och image tar vi reda på om och hur dessa kan tänkas genomsyras av denna emotionella cool-kapitalism. Med hjälp av teorier grundade i postfeminism, transparens och audience labour utreder vi den roll emoti

Att exploatera jordbruksmark är idag en debatterad fråga. Det tar många år för jordbruksmarken att utvecklas och marken är avgörande för Sveriges livsmedelsproduktion. Samtidigt som marken kring våra städer behövs för att bygga nya bostäder och verksamheter. Idag finns det ett skydd i 3 kap. 4 § miljöbalken (MB) för brukningsvärd jordbruksmark mot exploatering som inte är av väsentligt samhällsintExploitation of agricultural land is today a debated issue. It takes many years for agricultural land to develop and the land is important to preserve for food production. However, land in general is also needed for the development of new housing and new businesses. Today agriculture land is protected by Chapter 3, Section 4 of the Swedish Environmental Code. This section protects agricultural lan

Soil moisture (SM) is an essential climate variable that controls fundamental hydrological and climatic processes. Soil moisture products derived from microwave remote sensing often provide measurements at low spatial resolution and incomplete temporal records. This thesis presents a novel method for estimation soil moisture at both high spatial and temporal resolution by using a deep learning rec

The measures to mitigate and adapt to global warming constitute fundamental changes to human- environmental interactions and peoples' deep-rooted habits and lifestyles. However, tools to deal with climate change have varying impacts on groups constituting society, leading to different climate change- related attitudes and behaviors. This thesis examines differences depending on individuals'
