The unicellular Gonyostomum semen (class Raphidophyceae) is an invasive microalga which can dominate phytoplankton communities during blooms, with economic and ecological consequences. Its abundance in European freshwaters has been mainly explained by water temperature, colour, and acidity. While low pH and brown colour are common features of lakes containing the species, it has also been found in

Skillnader i kultur mellan länder är sedan länge väldokumenterade (Hofstede, 1998). I en allt mer globaliserad värld där det blir vanligare att personer flyttar mellan länder har det blivit aktuellt att studera huruvida dessa personer “akulturaliseras” (Berry, 2003), alltså anpassar sig kulturellt, till sin nya hemmiljö. I denna studie undersöks huruvida personer från ett land som Hofstede (1998) Differences in culture between countries have been well documented (Hofstede, 1998). But in an increasingly globalized world, where it becomes ever more common for people to move between countries, it has become more relevant to study whether these people "acculturise" (Berry, 2003), thus adapting culturally, to their new home environment. In this study, it is examined whether people fro

The purpose of this research is to extend the theory of humor research and add a new nuance to humor theory. Additionally, the study intends to measure the effect different humorous content types have on ad likability and purchase intention, as well as the relationship between the two. A mixed method approach was applied, conducting focus groups and questionnaires in order to study and understand

Research and theories show that politics in today’s society is mediated and for most of the citizens the media image is the only perception of politicians that exists. Therefore, studying how politicians are portrayed is essential in the journalistic field, this due to the changes in political journalism and the growing entertainment focus in journalism. SVT’s Valet Forever is a hybrid genre progr

The built environment will soon continue to develop as virtual and augmented reality become increasingly integrated into how we work, play, and learn. My degree project explores the many possibilities of combining architecture with augmented virtuality by looking into this new medium of technology that is constructing mixed reality with the built environment. It talks about the metaverse in bri

Kan ekosystemtjänster stärka hållbarhetsperspektivet i den kommunala översiktsplaneringen? Många av samhällets funktioner är direkt beroende av ekosystem i balans. Samtidigt utarmas idag den biologiska mångfalden och ekosystemens funktioner hotas, vilket riskerar att få stora negativa konsekvenser för både människa och samhälle. Vi behöver därför hitta nya sätt att ta hänsyn ekosystemens ekologisThe degradation of ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity occurs at an alarming rate. This results in an imbalance of ecosystem functions, leading to a loss of ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are benefits which humans can derive from ecosystems and their internal processes, thus vital to preserve from a societal perspective. The purpose of this study was to explore the possibilities for

I takt med att antalet geoparker och tillgängliga geologiska besöksmål ökar föds ett behov av att förstå hur dessa kan användas för att öka den geologiska kunskapen i samhället. Ett av syftena med geoparker är att främja utbildning om hållbar utveckling och bevarande av både geologiska arv och Jorden. De senaste åren har tre svenska geoparker certifierats nationellt eller internationellt och ytter
