The present thesis outlines a frame to understand how agua-cuerpo-territorio enact spatial and narrative contestations in relation to water. Such ontologies are nourished identifying three main elements: memory, ancestrality and cosmoviviencias. Through an ethnographic work in Bolivia working with women territorial defenders and by using narrative practices approach I sought to uplift, ancestral
This study examines how individuals attribute meaning to their self-tracking data and how they utilize these meanings in the self-management of their chronic disorders. Specifically, this study uses transcripts archived by the Quantified Self movement, which involves individuals using technology or various tools to collect data about various aspects of their daily lives, emphasizing self-tracking
The study of the dynamic interaction between pantograph and catenary by computer simulation is useful as it allows us to obtain much information about this system while minimizing the cost of line tests. With a program validated by the norm EN 50318, the behaviour of a pantograph-catenary couple at a certain speed can be accurately estimated. With the program INPAC, a parametric study on the curre
Both in the media and academic circles there have been a proliferation of interest in drag queens. While the female impersonator has a long recorded history, our contemporary society’s quite public and sustained preoccupation about the subject seems to be unprecedented. Even though drag can be considered part of the Swedish pop culture, to see a man dressed in clothes that are typically attributed
This study aims to investigate whether countries succeed to reduce their contribution to global emissions when countries reach higher levels of income. As a result of rapid changes in international trade, a country’s emission responsibility goes beyond national borders, which should be adequately captured in their carbon footprint. This study discusses that the two conventional accounting measures
This thesis examines how psychological traits, specifically self-control and entrepreneurial passion, interact with entrepreneurial intention to predict entrepreneurial action among graduates of a Master's programme in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Lund University. Guided by the Rubicon Model of Action Phases, we distinguish between the formation of entrepreneurial intention (predecisiona
This research investigates the perceived barriers to UK Trade Unions (TU) engagement in climate change and environmental issues, from the perspective of union members working at local branch, union policy and strategy levels, and what opportunities there are for developing an environmental trade union movement. With the advent of catastrophic climate change necessitating rapid decarbonisation of t
Rampant land reclamation is shifting the ecological, political, and social landscape of the Maldives. While the state frames land reclamation as a remedy for land scarcity, a climate change adaptation, and as an indicator of development, these narratives conceal lived-experiences of land reclamation and the accompanying social and environmental harm. Through semi-structured interviews with Maldivi
The Moon’s origin is an exciting topic that many scientists believe started with a colossal collision between early Earth and a Mars-sized body. In this study, we examine the possibility that Theia, a body known to have existed, may have formed in a stable orbit between Earth and Mars, and eventually collided with our planet due to orbital changes over time. To explore this event, we use the REBOU
This thesis investigates the lived experiences of women with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), diagnosed in adulthood in Denmark, focusing on how culturally ingrained norms and diagnostic frameworks contribute to masking behaviours, delayed recognition and systemic exclusion. The reason behind this thesis is a persistent underdiagnosis of ADHD in women and the subsequent resultant n
As the impacts and consequences of climate change intensify and accelerate, climate adaptation is becoming increasingly central to and visible in European Union (EU) policy and governance. Yet, climate adaptation has historically been given less political and academic attention than climate mitigation. This thesis explores how the European Commission formulates and projects strategic narratives ab
The construction industry is a very traditional sector. The construction supply chain is very complex and fragmented since every project is site-based and unique. The distinctive nature of the construction industry is its heavy reliance on subcontracting. A common practice in the industry is to organize projects with a tier of subcontractors working for a main contractor. Since it is a knowledge-i
Denna uppsats undersöker hur det svenska genomförandet av de nya gränsförfarandena, som del av EU:s nya migrations- och asylpakt, kan påverka asylsökandes rätt till frihet under artikel 5 i Europakonventionen. Fokus ligger på screeningförfarandet, asylgränsförfarandet och gränsförfarandet för återvändande, vilka tillsammans skapar en ny inresefas vid ankomst till Unionen. Pakten bygger på den rättThis thesis examines how the Swedish implementation of the new border procedures, as part of the new EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, may affect asylum seekers’ right to liberty under Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The focus is on the screening procedure, the asylum border procedure and the return border procedure, which together create a new pre-entry phase when arriving to
Stålindustrin står för ungefär 7-8% av världens växthusgasutsläpp, och fordonsindustrin är en av dess viktigaste kunder. Fordonstillverkare som Volvo, Mercedes och Scania möter idag hårdare krav på att minska utsläppen i sina försörjningskedjor, genom regelverk i EU som förändras snabbt och ett växande tryck att ansvara för sina koldioxidavtryck. I detta sammanhang har grönt stål blivit en strategThe steel sector accounts for approximately 7-8% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the automotive industry stands for a large part of its customer base. As Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), such as Volvo, Mercedes and Scania etc., face tightening Scope 3 emission targets, evolving EU regulatory frameworks, and growing pressure to decarbonise their supply chains, the question of
Trots att miljö- och produktionsmål formellt varit jämställda i skogspolitiken under de senaste decennierna, är förlust av biologisk mångfald ett fortsatt problem. Inom skogspolitiken i Sverige och Finland har strategier för ökat skydd av biologisk mångfald framhållit frivillighet, som certifiering av skogsbruk och frivilliga avsättningar mot kompensation. Det saknas dock kunskap om hur resultatenDespite decades of claimed ambitions to increase environmental consideration in forest policy, biodiversity loss in boreal forests continues. As the pressure on forest biodiversity intensifies, due to land use competition, shifting societal demands, and climate change, it is crucial to address the shortfall of biodiversity policies in reaching their intended outcomes. Voluntary policy instruments
This paper examines whether and how Islamist violence affects educational content in secondary schools in Burkina Faso. We combine geocoded conflict-event data with nationwide school census data containing detailed information on teachers’ subject-specific teaching hours and mobility across schools. Using a staggered difference-in-differences design, we estimate the dynamic effects of violence on
This work reports femtoscopic correlations of p-−p(p‾-−p‾) and p−−d(p‾-−d‾) pairs measured in Pb–Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon sNN = 5.02 TeV in the ALICE Collaboration. A fit to the measured proton-proton correlation functions allows one to extract the dependence of the nucleon femtoscopic radius of the particle-emitting source on the pair transverse mass (mT) and on the aver
The cardiovascular effects of coffee consumption remain debated, particularly regarding early-stage subclinical atherosclerosis. This study investigated the association between coffee intake, genetic predisposition, and the risk of subclinical coronary and carotid atherosclerosis in 24,835 participants from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS). Coffee intake was assessed via self-re
