The analysis is grounded in phenomenology, as humanistic geographical concepts of space and place are used in order to interpret the different meanings of space and place as they are expressed within the

Koppar-guld fyndigheten Nautanen är belägen 75 km norr om polcirkeln, och 10 km nordost om Gällivare i norra Sverige. Fyndigheten ligger endast 8 km från den stora apatit-järnmalmen i Malmberget och 15 km norr om en av Europas största kopparproducenter, porfyrkoppar-(guld)malmen Aitik. Nautanen beskrivs som en järnoxid-koppar-guld (IOCG) fyndighet eller en hybrid IOCG med en kärna av höghaltiga reThe Nautanen Cu-Au deposit is located 75 km north of the Arctic circle, and 10 km northeast of the town of Gällivare in northern Sweden. Nautanen is just 8 km west of the giant Malmberget apatite-iron ore deposit and 15 km north of one of Europe’s largest copper producers, the Aitik Cu (Au) porphyry deposit. Nautanen is described as an Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposit or hybrid IOCG and conta

One of the greatest achievements of the European Union (EU) is the abolition of internal borders and the establishment of the right to free movement. Consequently, the EU has made an effort managing its common external borders by establishing several internal mechanisms, instruments and bodies as well as various forms of cooperation with the associated Schengen countries and external third actors.

The term “phoenix man” is often used by the Internet users to describe the man who grew up in the rural areas but later studied or worked in the cities. The purpose of this research is to analyze how the “phoenix man” is understood by the online public and what social facts or implications reflected by this term. The research employs a combination of quantitative and qualitative method: online obs

Structural changes to agricultural landscapes due to agricultural intensification caused declines in biodiversity and abundance of animal groups providing ecosystem services and disservices to agriculture. Little is known about the relative contribution of animals to services and disservices after harvest and how these animal groups are affected by landscape configuration. Therefore, this study in

The relationship between the male and the female function in the simultaneous hermaphroditic flatworm Macrostomum lignano has been intensively studied on a phenotypic level. The results from these studies largely coincide with predictions that derive from sex allocation theory, which assumes a trade-off between the allocation of resources to the sex functions. Results from a recent experimental ev

It is not uncommon that states repress and oppress its citizens by exerting violence upon them. Sometimes this violence leads to cases where states abuse their power. This abuse can lead to terrible consequences which several historical and contemporary cases shows. When analyzing state violence, it ought to be put in the context of violence from non-state actors, which often eclipse the violence

The riparian countries of Lake Chad River Basin – Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon and Chad – suffer from environmental degradation as the lakes surface water has decreased with 90 percent since the 1960’s. This has put pressure on the population around the lake as the livelihood for many of them is dependent of the lake’s water. The area has during the last decade also been characterized by increased vio

In tourism, hotel customers and hotel settings are changing and evolving their nature: new dynamics and new contexts create and co-create new value. Hotels integrate new elements in their offer to recreate innovative physical environments and increase the customer experience. As a result, new and specific hotel genres are now operating on the market and each one is characterized by a different 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

This thesis departs from scientific literature which suggests to “have one fewer child” as the most effective individual lifestyle choice to reduce one’s contribution to (and even actively fight against) climate change. By employing critical discourse analysis of this literature, I explore how childbearing and carbon emissions have been coupled, and what the implications of this phenomenon are. Th

The recent COVID-19 pandemic crisis has resulted in great uncertainty and potential losses to the financial market. Investors must find the safe haven and hedge currencies in the current crisis to manage portfolios. In this paper, I demonstrate how to use the dynamic conditional correlations (DCC) model with student-t error distribution to assess the role of foreign exchange, cryptocurrencies, and

Forskningen om användning av psykedeliska substanser för behandling av olika psykologiska problem som beroende, behandlingsresistent depression och dödsångest tycks indikera att användning av psykedelika under rätt omständigheter kan ha positiva resultat för mental hälsa. Forskningen antyder också att de potentiellt positiva resultaten för mental hälsa inte kan reduceras till endast farmakologiskaResearch on using psychedelic substances for treating various psychological problems such as addiction, treatment resistant depression and death agony seem to indicate that under the right circumstances the use of psychedelics could have positive outcomes on mental health. Studies also suggest that the potentially positive outcomes on mental health cannot be reduced to pharmacological effects alon

As one of the most important sites in which and through which discourse is articulated and disseminated, newspapers play particularly extensive roles in furthering understandings of human rights cases involving citizens of dual nationality and foreign policy. Drawing on critical discourse analysis and the practice of journalistic framing, this study examined the effects of intertextuality on the d

The aim of this thesis was to reveal how nano-sized extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from human breast milk and Aascaris suum, parasitic worm incubation media interacts with hydrophilic, hydrophobic and DOPC surfaces and colloidally characterize EVs and EV fluids by determining their hydrodynamic radius and zeta potential. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) was used to determine the size and zet

The need for sustainable solutions to the negative state of the Earth is urgent. Ethical choices need to be made and humanity’s endowed imagination needs to be employed to find creative ways ahead. Literature has a potential to open minds and challenge perceptions, which is necessary to activate the creative imagination needed to find visionary solutions. This analytical research paper explores ho

The European Commission favours market-based support policies, such as markets for tradable green certificates, to promote renewable energy. Meanwhile, these markets have received critique for exposing investors to large price risk as the level of support is determined by the market price of certificates. Unstable prices can also result from changes in regulation since the demand for certificates

I denna uppsats presenterar jag kristallisationsåldrar, petrografi och geokemisk sammansättning för diabasgångar och en lagergång i östra och sydöstra Kaapvaal kratonen, Sydafrika. Dessa nya resultat ger mer exakta och pålitliga resultat än tidigare dateringar för diabaser tillhörande den s.k. Mashining gångsvärmen, vilka daterats till 2253 ± 45 and 2202 ± 74 Ma (Ma = miljoner år). De nya resultat

The primary aim of this essay is to add new insight as to the productivity and universality of phonaesthemes in general, and the sl-phonaestheme in particular. The data presented in this essay is generated in two ways: lexical analyses and an experiment. The lexical analyses show that the dominant semantic features of words beginning with the cluster sl- are the same in English and Swedish, namely
