This is a qualitative study on the characters of Ronja, the robber’s daughter and how they have been interpreted in Studio Ghibli’s anime version. It focuses on characterization from the perspective of role language and character language and how they reinforce the themes and characters of Ronja. Example sentences have been analyzed and discussed from various major characters. In summary, role lan
This thesis examines how sustainability is prioritised politically and integrated in the Danish municipal primary and lower secondary education. It consults representatives from the Ministry of Education, the unicipality of Copenhagen and ten lower secondary education teachers about their perceptions of sustainability and education and their experiences with integration of sustainability education
It has been a century since the birth of philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-95). At his friend’s expense, Michel Foucault once joked, saying that un jour ce siecle sera peut-etre deleuzien: “perhaps one day this century will be known as Deleuzian?” Is there truth to the notion that the present moment expresses something of a “Deleuzian aeon” for the humanities, and what are its ramifications for bib
Complexity and innovation are emerging as fundamental issues for the future of human life and society. To deal with them, different versions of systems thinking have been proposed. However, System-of-Systems (SoS) thinking, based on the biperspectival principle and human reflexivity, has not yet been clearly recognized. The unclear distinction between ‘systems’ and ‘SoS’ thinking often results in
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a well established intervention for secondary prevention after myocardial infarction (MI), yet substantial variability in CR delivery and patient outcomes persists globally. This review provides an in-depth overview of the SWEDEHEART-CR registry, a comprehensive Swedish national quality registry that has facilitated continuous quality improvement and clinical researc
Galactoglucomannan (GGM) has been identified as a valuable resource and can be used in fields such as oxygen barrier films, food coatings or hydrogels. This hemicellulose can be extracted from softwood using steam explosion (STEX) under mild conditions. However, the GGM-solution also contains impurities such as lignin, lignin-carbohydrate complexes, organic acids, and salts, which require further
This paper explores the challenges and barriers of forced migrants at the nexus of housing and social integration, presenting the outcomes of an international and interdisciplinary collaboration funded by the JPI Urban Europe programme. Research includes the case study cities Leipzig, Lund, Riga, and Vienna, utilizing primary and secondary data in a transdisciplinary process involving theoretical
Multilevel Analysis of Individual Heterogeneity and Discriminatory Accuracy (MAIHDA) is a multilevel regression approach grounded in intersectionality theory. It examines inequalities across intersections of social identities (e.g., gender, ethnicity, class) and is argued to provide more accurate predictions of intersectional means than conventional methods that estimate group means directly or vi
For circular retail models to successfully replace linear consumption in the future, retailers must understand the lived reality of second-hand customer journeys. However, existing customer journey mapping methods often fail to capture the non-linear, phygital, and multi-retailer nature of such journeys. This article introduces ‘messy customer journey self-mapping’, a novel qualitative method desi
As previous research on content-specificity of the neural correlates of recollection is inconclusive, event-related potentials were used to assess old/new effects for faces, objects and words. The data demonstrate temporal differences in ERP old/new effects as a function of item type, supporting the notion that material-dependent processes underlie recollection-related neural activity. The results
Urbanisation is an inevitable part of globalisation. With the globalised food chain in place to feed the growing number of people living in urban areas. A remedy is often expressed to be urban farming, with local, sustainable production of food. This study presents a preliminary assessment of the dynamics between urban farms and residents in Malmö. Urban farms produce available food for the reside
The Swedish construction industry is subject to a high rate of occupational injuries, where overload factors are a significant cause. Through Human Activity Recognition, movement data can be collected and analyzed, enabling the identification of harmful movement patterns with the use of machine learning. This study aims to describe the environmental barriers and stakeholder attitudes towards a sma
The thesis explores online knowledge production around a subject that has been considered taboo and inappropriate through history – sexual, reproductive and genital health for people with female genitals. Therefore, it also examines the political potential of coming together to openly discuss such “delicate issues”. The focus of the study is the Swedish Facebook-group “Fittlife – underliv och häls
In view of its complex demographic composition and the lingering controversies on recent civil war historiography, Lebanon provides a unique case of education in a post-conflict context. The absence of a common Lebanese national history curriculum puts individual history teachers under significant pressure. In lieu of an engagement with recent national history, avoided because of its controversy,
Flooding in oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia is a common problem. The oil palm’s habitable range is restricted to lowland equatorial areas, and the high rainfall and degraded landscapes associated with oil palm cultivation leaves oil palm prone to flooding. Flooding diminishes yields in mature palms, increases mortality in young palms, and disrupts operational processes. This reduces the ec
In October 2022, the European Commission announced a legislative proposal to make instant payments in euro available to all citizens with a bank account in the EU and EEA countries. When adopting new payment technologies, it can be challenging to balance security and convenience. Consideration must be given to whether compromised security is an unavoidable effect of instant payments or if both obj
