In an urbanizing world, challenged by climate change and rising temperatures, street vegetation can help mitigate urban temperatures. However, scaling the understanding of street vegetation’s cooling effects from local observations to the city level introduces challenges. While several studies have assessed the influence of street greenery on land surface temperature (LST) at the city scale using

Skal danskerne til at lære dansk af svenskerne? Forskning og undervisning i dansk nedlægges ved Roskilde Universitets Center i 2028. Det sker, selv om 1/3 del af skoleeleverne på den sydlige del af Sjælland ikke bliver godkendt i dansk til eksamen i 9.klasse. I fremtiden skal danskerne måske til at rejse til Lund, Göteborg, Uppsala, Stockholm og Växjö for at studere deres eget sprog.

Dennis Olsson recenserar "Året hos Hyperboréerna", "Dagar den sommaren", samt "Norgesviten" av Jesper Svenbro, för poesikritksajten Örnen och Kråkans publik.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in the world. Multiple different treatment options are available, target therapy and immunotherapy being two. One potential target is Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs) and there are both available treatments and new treatments being investigated for this. However, only around 25% of patients benefit from the immunotherapy treatment Immune Checkpoint In

Textile waste presents significant harm to the environment, prompting the development of advanced textile recycling technologies. One such process recycles cellulosic fibers using zinc chloride (ZnCl2) at certain hydration levels to dissolve the cellulose, which is later precipitated by the addition of water and can be re-spun into new fibers. However, this process uses large amounts of zinc chl

I detta examensarbete undersöks det hur modeintresserade unga kvinnor i åldrarna 20-29 år utformar sina köp- och försäljningspraktiker av kläder på digitala secondhand-plattformar under en ekonomisk kris. Uppsatsen syftar till att utveckla befintlig forskning genom att skapa förståelse för unga kvinnors secondhand-praktiker under en ekonomiskt osäker tid. Studien utgår från en kvalitativ metod och

This thesis investigates the implementation of China’s Solar Energy for Poverty Alleviation Programme (SEPAP), a state-led initiative introduced in 2014 to address rural poverty while supporting the expansion of the domestic photovoltaic (PV) industry. Rather than evaluating outcomes, the study explores how SEPAP was translated from central policy into local practice across two counties in Jiangsu

This research explores the socio-economic impacts of flooding on women's livelihoods in Banjul, The Gambia, a city that is increasingly vulnerable to climate change and flooding disasters. With increasing flooding in coastal regions, Banjul is among the cities with significant challenges, particularly for women, who are usually marginalized and disproportionately affected in case of disasters.

Undersökningen syftar till att öka förståelsen för hur yrkesidentitet uttrycks och formas i ett framväxande yrke, samt vilka organisatoriska villkor som påverkar yrkesidentitetens utveckling. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ fallstudie av det framväxande yrket trafikstyrning, ett yrke som präglas av låg synlighet, inom en svensk lagerverksamhet. Genom tolv semistrukturerade intervjuer analyseras hu

During the winter smog season, Punjab experiences some of the world’s most hazardous air quality levels, largely driven by the open-field burning of agricultural residue. In response, the provincial government introduced a 60 percent subsidy for Super Seeders — tractor-mounted implements that mulch crop residue in-field, eliminating the need for burning. This thesis presents a formative, farmer-ce

Introduction: Synthesis of novel aliphatic POCOP pincer complexes with β-blocking alkyl groups. Background: An issue with Aliphatic POCOP pincer complexes is that the sought-after C=M bond is unstable with previous attempts forming aromatic groups or decomposing completely under heating. By introducing β-blocking elements to the aliphatic POCOP pincer ligands could this mitigate the decompositio

Achieving the Agenda 2030 requires the adoption and implementation of the goals at all levels of the government from the national to subnational level. Cambodia, as a member state of the UN, under the Cambodia Sustainable Development Goals (CSDG) Framework has also made a commitment to localise the SDGs to the subnational level. However, after the adoption of the CSDG framework in 2018, the progre

Adaptive reuse of existing buildings as a part of the circular economy principle has become a more common approach to promote sustainable development, due to increasing urban densification and environmental concerns. Ventilation systems, as a major contributor to energy use in buildings, often face complete replacement during building reconstruction, despite their potential for extended service li

The relationship between development and democracy is robust and enjoys strong scholarly support. While research traditionally has favored country-level comparisons based on objective indicators when studying this relationship, this study crafts an individual-level, perceptions-based index of development, and two measures of support for democracy as a regime type, to approach the relationship. The

As dual career couples become increasingly common, challenges related to professional mobility, and career continuation for spouses have been exacerbated, especially for couples in international professions such as diplomacy, often leading to family strain. In response, institutional reforms such as joint posting policies have been introduced to accommodate individuals’ professional and personal n

This thesis examines how gender is integrated into South Africa’s climate governance and finance systems through a Feminist Political Ecology (FPE) lens. By analyzing seven key national and provincial policy documents using NVivo, the research investigates whether gender-inclusive language is backed by concrete mechanisms such as budgeting, monitoring, and accountability. Findings reveal that whil

Climate change is an escalating global issue, with various parts of the world being impacted differently depending on their geographic placement, development status and financial resources. Over the last couple of decades, the intensified climate change impacts have made the climate a subject to be securitized. This happens when a securitizing actor, like a state representative, articulates the cl
