This paper examines how images contribute to storytelling (RQ1) and how communities can be created through visual storytelling on Instagram (RQ2). By conducting a case study on the Instagram account Roam the Planet, we explore how stories are told through images, and how these stories can contribute to the creation of a community within the outdoor discourse. To answer our research questions, we s

Due to the expected knowledge of the management, actively managed equity funds are expected to have a competitive performance compared to the market.

Bakgrund: Patienter på intensivvårdsavdelning (IVA) och postoperativ avdelning (postop) är en utsatt patientgrupp som ofta har svårt att förmedla sig verbalt. Efter vårdtiden har patienter beskrivit minnen av stress över att inte kunna förmedla smärta, dyspné och törst. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att identifiera förekomst och intensitet gällande smärta, törst, dyspné och ångest hos patienter

The common agricultural policy (CAP) has been stated as one of the most important policies within the European Union (EU), and is the fundament for agricultural development in the member states. However, the CAP has been stated to effect biodiversity in a negative way. To handle the decreasing biodiversity in agricultural landscapes within the EU, the CAP has been developed to include measures to

Hur kan biologisk mångfald gynnas i en företagspark? Hur ska både människor och natur få plats i en alltmer urbaniserad värld? Kunskapen om hur biologisk mångfald påverkas av byggnadsprojekt behöver öka, samtidigt som stadens gröna områden behöver stödjas och utvecklas för att gynna fler arter. I mitt examensarbete har jag undersökt förutsättningarna för fåglar och pollinerande insekter i företagUrbanization is causing impact on biodiversity and ecosystem services globally, due to disturbance, fragmentation and loss of habitats as the proportion of urban settlement increases. Actions for enhancement of biodiversity in urban spaces become important to achieve a sustainable urbanization. Wihlborgs Fastigheter AB, a housing company in the Öresund Region, has installed eleven nest boxes for b

This master’s thesis tests the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and the Fama-French 3-factor model (FF3FM) for the U.S. high-tech industry. For a total sample of 120 U.S. high-tech companies we run OLS time-series regressions for both models by using return and accounting data from 2002 to 2016. It is found that on average, the CAPM is not sufficient in explaining average excess returns for our

Det är angeläget att som intensivvårdssjuksköterska att förstå riskerna som råder vid förflyttningsprocessen nattetid. Syftet med studien är att jämföra patienter som blir utskrivna nattetid med de som blir utskriva dagtid för att se om de oftare blir återinlagda igen inom 72 h på en allmän intensivvårdsavdelning. Studien är en retrospektiv registerstudie, där data inhämtades från PASIVA- registre

This thesis explores the ways for diasporas to influence politics in their homeland. Diaspora groups, having a triadic relationship, are categorized as transnational actors that are able to create networks and connections beyond the borders from abroad to homeland. Having such a relationship and a “homeland orientation”, diaspora groups may conduct activities to influence homeland politics. In tha

Avloppsvatten är rikt på organiskt material, det organiska materialet har med fördel använts för biogasproduktion. Den traditionella kvävereningsprocessen kräver organiskt material, därför har ett extern organiskt material använts. Flera studier har fokuserat på att finna en alternativ process för kväverening av avloppsvatten, där inget organiskt material behövs. En alternativ process som har studThe organic matter which the wastewater is rich in has been advantageously used for biogas production. Since, the traditional biological nitrogen wastewater treatment by nitrification denitrification requires organic matter; an external organic matter needs to be added. Recently, researches have been focusing on alternative processes for wastewater treatment where increased amount of carbon can be
