What If is a conceptual and speculative design project aimed to fuel discussions and physicalise debates regarding our relationship to the world around us. The environment we have created is characterised by constant growth and an endless stream of information. Our human senses are made for a completely different kind of life and the natural evolution has no chance against the technological. It’s
This qualitative study is examining the reasons behind the mass migration of Bulgarian citizens from Stolipinovo to Germany and the city of Duisburg in particular. The research is conducted using ethnographic approach together with carrying out interviews with the focus group – EU migrants from that area. It further examines how this process is facilitated and what kind of organisations stay behin
The world population is continuously growing and will have to be fed. To keep pace with the increasing demand, multiple innovations have been implemented in agriculture during the last decades. The main bottleneck remains the global photosynthetic productivity. The efficiency of photosynthesis is limited, inter alia, by the fixation of CO2 via Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBis
The EU is accused of having a democratic deficit and one of the reasons for that is the low number of turnouts in democratic elections and referendums. Voter turnout is oneof democracy’s most important indicators of health as it shows to whatextent voters practice their democratic right in a representative democracy. Voter participation is thus an accept of the rules of the representative democrac

Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur retorikteorins etiska aspekter kan implementera det etiska perspektivet i retorikundervisningen i Svenska 1, 2 och 3. Vidare strävade jag efter att synliggöra hur lärare betraktade möjligheten att involvera eleven i etisk reflektion med hjälp av retorikens metaspråk. Jag tillämpade en kvalitativ innehållsanalys för att synliggöra relationen mellan retorik och eThe aim of this study was to investigate how the ethical aspects of rhetoric theory can implement the ethical perspective on teaching in rhetoric in Swedish 1, 2 and 3. Furthermore, I sought to clarify how teachers viewed the possibility of involving the student in ethical reflection with the help of rhetoric's metalanguage. I applied a qualitative content analysis to underline the relations
Sopberg, en bestående klimatbov eller en källa till förnybar energi? Produktionen av metanrik gas, kallat deponigas, inuti deponier är den näst största källan till utsläpp av metan till atmosfären i Sverige. Metan är en kraftig växthusgas, 28 gånger starkare än CO2 och för att minska utsläppen från deponier är det idag lagkrav i Sverige på att samla upp gasen. Den uppsamlade gasen facklas ofta seWhen organic material is deposited at a landfill it is decomposed over time by microorganisms to form a gas mixture consisting of mainly methane, carbon dioxide and nitrogen called landfill gas. To limit the environmental impact from this gas there is a requirement in Sweden today that all landfills which have accepted or are accepting organic material to be equipped with a gas collection system a
Att försöka simulera adsorption Datormodeller är användbara för att förutspå verkligheten men bara om man lyckas få dem att återspegla den först. För adsorptionsfenomen är detta extra knepigt då det är många underliggande antaganden som måste identifieras och uppfyllas. Att kunna testa hypoteser i en datormodell innan man testar den i labbet eller ute i en stor fabrik är något som kan spara både tThe separation of hemicelluloses, like glactoglucomannans, from lignocellulosic process streams is an important step in building profitable lignocellulosic biorefineries. The most common method for the separation is membrane filtration, however, it has the draw-back of being sensitive to membrane fouling. To better understand the fouling process, it is desirable to be able to model the adsorption

Using the works of Xi Jinping, the thesis uses the methods of governmentality by Mitchel Dean to analyze the data from the four analytical tools of epistheme, visibility, technical aspect, and identity to look at how the subject is positioned within collective mentalities, status o
Parallel with demographic concerns and an individualization process alternative burial practices in Japan have developed. One of them is tree burials that eliminates obligations for descendants to tend the grave, takes up relatively little space in a graveyard and enables memorialization while also providing an opportunity for the dead to remove one’s self from household constraints. The thesis in
Since 2017, tuwei (土味) culture has emerged in Chinese online space and the manifestation of it varies. On the basis of a case study on two Chinese social media platforms and gathered data from interviews, online videos and relating comments, the aim of thesis was to explore this culture with the main focus on tuwei videos and their producers, including the definition and classification of it, and
With the introduction of Forecast-based Financing (FbF) in 2013, the ability and incentive to do early action based on forecasting has increased over the last couple of years. In this study eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted with FbF practitioners of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (RCRC) Movement with the purpose of shedding light on challenges and opportunities associated with the a
Online shopping is becoming more common. Many consumers prefer to order their groceries online rather than visit an actual physical store, as online shopping is a lot more convenient. Another growing trend in the retailing industry is the increasing number of environmentally conscious consumers who are aware of the impact their actions have. Retailers such as ICA and Axfood are investing quite a l
