This thesis explores the considerations of bare life in He Yunchang’s performance arts, based on two of his works, One-meter democracy (2010) and Golden Sunlight (1999). I make a deep analysis of the images and archives of the two performances, about the artist’s artistic method of using visual signs. Furthermore, I interpret how the artist used the bodily pain to create figures. I also investigat

The BRIC countries have been in a process of fast economic growth for more than a decade and the growth seems to continue. Economic growth is often linked to the use of fossil fuels and the release of greenhouse gases. The accumulation in the atmosphere of greenhouse gases contribute to global warming and the risk for climate change. The objective is to study the impact on global environment of th

Kvävedioxid (NO2) är en luftförorening som har negativ påverkan för både miljön och människors hälsa. Därför är det viktigt att förstå och övervaka koncentrationerna. För att göra det kan stationer på marken användas för att mäta koncentrationerna av NO2 i troposfären, det nedre lagret av atmosfären. Problemet med denna metod är att sådana mätstationer tenderar att vara koncentrerade i stadskärnorNitrogen dioxide (NO2) is an important air pollutant with both environmental and epidemiological effects. The main aim of this thesis is to explore spatial patterns and temporal trends of tropospheric NO2 concentrations globally using data from the OMI instrument aboard NASA’s Aura spacecraft. Additional aims are to validate the satellite data by comparing it to ground-based measurements, and to f

The academic interest in remote work has drastically increased over recent years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing studies have proven that remote work has advantages and disadvantages for employers and employees. However, little is known about the influence of remote work and the relevant factors in the context of newcomers and their organizational socialization. Building on th

Many cities around the world are undergoing urbanisation, developing undeveloped land or redeveloping underused areas due to changing times. Such developments often focus on attracting new residents and building new communities, and their economic benefits, so those areas are actively developed by developers and municipalities. Also, the concept of compact cities is encouraged in such areas in ter

Encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae is a causative agent of invasive disease, such as meningitis and septicemia. Several interactions exist between H. influenzae and the human host. H. influenzae has been reported to bind IgD in a nonimmune manner, but the responsible protein has not yet been identified. To define the binding site on IgD for H. influenzae, full-length IgD and four chimeric IgDs wi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Små kyrkor i länder som domineras av andra religioner är ofta beträngda idag. I Malaysia växer sig Islam starkt, och islamistiska rörelser med terroristiska metoder omger landet på alla sidor. Samtidigt har även Buddhism och Hinduism fått nytt liv. Genomgående märks en skärpt hållning visavi den kristna kyrkan och en tilltagande kritik av proselytism. Från Väst finns in

Modern capitalism favors values that undermine our face-to-face bonds with friends and family members. Focusing on the post-communist world, and comparing it to more "developed" societies, this book reveals the mixed effects of capitalist culture on interpersonal relationships. While most observers blame the egoism and asocial behavior found in new free-market societies on their communist pasts, t
