Urban green infrastructure (UGI) is gaining popularity for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in urban contexts, but dense development obstructs the realisation of large-scale greening measures. This thesis investigates the potential of small-scale, site-specific urban greening in a residential area in Cologne, Germany, to improve ecosystem service supply. The objective is to as
The biomedical market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the increasing volume of health data and the need for advanced technologies to manage and analyze this information. At the same time, the industry is facing additional challenges such as the shortage of healthcare professionals and an aging population. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to become essential in this industry,
Article 17(1) of the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) mandates that an issuer shall publicly disclose “inside information” which directly concerns the issuer as soon as possible, with the concept of “inside information” defined in art. 7 of MAR. This obligation is often referred to as the ad hoc disclosure requirement and it‘s perhaps the most crucial obligation issuers have to comply with when their
Based on the geopolitical situation in Europe and the European Union's (EU) initiative for further cooperation with its eastern neighborhood, this thesis analyzes the strategic interests behind the bilateral development aid allocation of the EU member states. The purpose is to, with a focus on aid directed to the Eastern Partnership states, provide the academic foreign aid field with a regiona
Meningsfull förändring är en central och djupt rotad strävan inom det psykoterapeutiska området. Terapeutens roll handlar om att hjälpa patienten att skapa förändring som är meningsfull för individen. Genom att mäta meningsfull förändring kan terapeuten se vilka interventioner som verkligen fungerar. Studien syftar till att utveckla och initialt utvärdera ett instrument för att mäta meningsfull föMeaningful change is a central and deeply rooted endeavor within psychotherapy. The study aims to develop and initially evaluate an instrument to measure meaningful change in psychotherapy. The therapist's role is to assist the patient in creating change that is meaningful to the individual. By measuring meaningful change, the therapist can identify which interventions are truly effective. The
Much work has established M&A capabilities and its impact on M&A performance, likewise, a great deal of research has investigated internationalization. However, little theoretical attention has been brought to the implications of M&A capabilities on firms formulating internationalization strategies. This study examines how M&A capabilities impact decision-making processes in strate
Industrial design can double up in protected, by copyright protection as well as registered community design protection within EU. Thus, there can be seen a tendency for right holders to take comfort in copyright protection.2 The boundaries between the scope and extensions of the protection forms are not clear, neither to legal professionals nor the industrial professionals. The purpose of the th
Brottsfenomenet romansbedrägeri kännetecknas av relationen mellan offer och förövare. Relationen mellan de två problematiserar offers status som ett fullvärdigt offer. Med utgångspunkt i viktimologi (Walklate, 2007:29-31) och teorier om det ideala offret (Christie, 1986) och victim blaming (Ryan, 1971) syftar denna uppsats till att analysera hur kvinnor utsatta för romansbedrägeri framställs i fem
Motivated by the need for transformative change and more holistic conceptions of wellbeing, this thesis aims to explore the transformative potential of the Buen Vivir. As a synthesis of indigenous and modern principles, it was integrated in the Ecuadorian constitution. In order to evaluate the socio-political project of the Buen Vivir in the realm of a Real Utopia, I will investigate the transform
Arbetet utgår från en riktad kvalitativ innehållsanalys av ett metodstöd för jämställdhetsintegrering på HVB-hem skapat av Länsstyrelsen Dalarna. Jämställdhetsintegrering av nyanlända görs genom övningar som främjar samtal. Analysen gjordes utifrån Judith Butlers queerteoretiska perspektiv och det tillfördes även ett intersektionellt perspektiv taget främst från Paulina De los Reyes och Diana Muli
Nya behandlingar har implementerats i Sverige för att minska antalet personer med självskadebeteende. En av dessa behandlingar är Emotion Regulation Group Therapy (ERGT). Syftet med denna studie var att utforska sex patienters upplevelser av att genomgå ERGT och vilka förändringar i såväl mående som psykiatriska symptom (mätt med Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale och New treatments for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) have been implemented in Sweden to decrease the number of people with self-injurious behavior. One of these treatments is Emotion Regulation Group Therapy (ERGT). This study aimed to explore six patients’ experiences of undergoing ERGT and the changes in well-being as well as in psychiatric symptoms (measured with Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory, D
Extreme short time precipitation, heavy rains, is one of the climate extremes expected to occur more frequently and become more intense in a warmer climate. Heavy rains already affect several Swedish municipalities and damages due to excess runoff water can be substantial, especially where adapting measures has yet to be taken. It is argued that there is a need for tools and support, to help and p
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the phenomenon of online spoof illustrations that are created in the aftermath of a reputational brand crisis. In a first step, characteristics of these illustrations are assessed and categorized. Subsequently, their impact on a brand’s reputation is investigated. Methodology: An exploratory sequential mixed method approach was applied, with initi
Higgsinos with masses near the electroweak scale can solve the hierarchy problem and provide a dark matter candidate, while detecting them at the LHC remains challenging if their mass splitting is O(1 GeV). This Letter presents a novel search for nearly mass-degenerate Higgsinos in events with an energetic jet, missing transverse momentum, and a low-momentum track with a significant transverse im
The sector for private domestic services in Sweden has grown rapidly since the RUT tax deduction was introduced in 2007. Already in the government proposition (2006/07:94) it was suggested that services provided by the expanding market would come to replace parts of the publicly funded elderly care, thus marking a shift in the organisation of care in the welfare state. Today we begin to see the ef
In this study, we aimed to explore the frequency of use and perceived usefulness of LLM generative AI chatbots (e.g., ChatGPT) for schoolwork, particularly in relation to adolescents’ executive functioning (EF), which includes critical cognitive processes like planning, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility essential for academic success. Two studies were conducted, encompassing both younger (Stud
Measurements of inclusive, differential cross-sections for the production of events with missing transverse momentum in association with jets in proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV are presented. The measurements are made with the ATLAS detector using an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 and include measurements of dijet distributions in a region in which vector-boson fusion processes are enhan
A comprehensive approach to ecological functional zoning in the Shenzhen region of China is presented in this study. Through the integration of advanced geospatial analysis tools, multiple data sources, and sophisticated statistical techniques, different ecological functions have been identified and categorized based on a comprehensive set of indicators and spatial analysis techniques. The three-l
