The aim of the project is the reconstruction of the district Bento Rodrigues located in the state of Minas Gerais; Brazil destroyed by the collapse of a mining dam Fundão in November 2015. This disaster was one of the biggest tragedy in the country. Mud covered the village, a river flooded and all the waste arrived until the Atlantic Ocean, including one of the most important rivers, the Rio Doce.
Housing affordability is an increasingly discussed political and economic issue. Recent research finds a negative relationship between housing affordability and mental health. Much of the prior research uses a ratio measurement for housing affordability. Using alternative measures of housing affordability, I re-examine the relationship between housing affordability and mental health. A fixed effec
Political participation among Japanese youth has been on a steady decline since the peak of the major activist and protest movements of the 60s and 70s. Legislation, restrictions, and social realities have also contributed to the strained relationship between youth and politics. The past few decades have been characterized by mistrust and dishonesty as a result, affecting youths’ willingness to pa
In 2004, Denmark implemented a new law which allows the police to issue so-called “Stop & Search zones”, as a measure to defeat mainly violent crimes. In Sweden, the implementation of such zones is a current frequently occurring matter in the political debate and parliamentary motions, in the context of defeating gang crime. One common argument in favor of implementation is “It works in Denmar
Aphanomyces rot root is an important disease in sugar beet, leading to significant harvest losses and a decrease in sugar content in affected fields. The disease is caused by the oomycete Aphanomyces cochlioides and affects the roots as either an early or late infection. To control the disease, it is crucial to incorporate resistance into cultivars. However, the genetic background to resistance is
The importance of early adaptation to reduce the impact of recognized risks has been underlined in recent years as featured aspect of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Sendai Framework for Action. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between forecasted food insecurity levels and allocated funding directed at food security. The dataset was built by combining quantitative dat

This thesis aims to examine, explore, and analyze the implications and consequences of the current Trump administration’s development of and conduct in the “war on drugs” on international law as well as the international community. To achieve this, I work under the theoretical frameworks of “law in context” and Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL). Through a mixed methodology, which
The aim of this research project is to study the role played by communication strategies on organisational reputation among the different stakeholders involved during the current COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. In doing so, this master thesis aims to understand how crisis communication aids the management of service processes and the construction of organisational image during crises. This study has
This thesis tries to answer how acts of homemaking can manifest with regard to four young adults in an urban environment. The paper takes a closer look at how the material takes form to create meaningful and concrete ways of navigating an uncertain landscape of adulthood in Stockholm, Sweden. Through the understandings of material culture made possible by Daniel Miller, Anat Hecht, Bodil Birkebæk
TOI-2015 is a known exoplanetary system around an M4 dwarf star, consisting of a transiting sub-Neptune planet in a 3.35-day orbital period, TOI-2015 b, accompanied by a non-transiting companion, TOI-2015 c. High-precision radial-velocity measurements were taken with the MAROON-X spectrograph, and high-precision photometric data were collected, primarily using the SPECULOOS, MUSCAT, TRAPPIST and L
Although there is continuous investment in active labour market policies, the fundamental principles behind publicly funded activation programmes remain poorly mapped. This thesis addresses the gap by developing and applying a theory-driven, dictionary-based computational classification instrument to the full corpus of final project reports from the European Social Fund Programme Area 2 in Sweden,
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into knowledge-intensive work, shaping how employees seek information, develop knowledge, and collaborate. While existing research has primarily focused on human-AI collaboration, technological capabilities, and performance outcomes, less attention has been paid to how AI becomes embedded in the interpersonal learning processes through which
Many studies have examined how the rise of radical right parties influences the general tone of legislative debates, particularly how mainstream parties tend to demonize and disengage from these parties through specific rhetoric and strategies. However, less attention has been given to their growing electoral success and how this affects speeches aimed at them in parliamentary debates. This study
The long-lived, light-induced radical Y-D(.) of the Tyr161 residue in the D2 protein of Photosystem 11 (PSII) is known to magnetically interact with the CaMn4 cluster, situated similar to 30 angstrom away. In this study we report a transient step-change increase in YD EPR intensity upon the application of a single laser flash to S, state-synchronised PSII-enriched membranes from spinach. This tran
Research findings suggest that in order to clarify the relationship between occupation and health, occupation needs to be framed in several different ways. One facet of occupation is satisfaction with daily occupations, assessed using the Satisfaction with Daily Occupations (SDO) instrument. The purpose was to investigate some of the SDO's psychometric properties when applied on people with persis
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna studie var att: (I) undersöka förekomsten av höftartros på Island i jämförelse med södra Skandinavien, (II) utreda frekvensen av operation med total höftledsplastik (THP) för artros på Island, (III) jämföra två olika metoder för bedömning av höftartros med röntgenbilder, (IV) i en populationsbaserad studie påvisa förekomsten av ärftlighet för höftartrosHereditary factors are suggested to contribute to osteoarthritis (OA), but their relative importance is uncertain. Moreover, the underlying specific variations at the genome level remain unknown. The prevalence of hip OA in Iceland was assessed by examining colon radiographs and was found to be at least 5-fold higher compared to Sweden and Denmark. The age-standardized incidence of total hip repl
The research work that is presented in this thesis aims at mapping out the various mechanisms which control the process of steel corrosion in concrete. The process of corrosion is illustrated with a schematic model where the service life is divided into a period of initiation and a period of propagation. The time up to the initiation of the corrosion process is determined by the flow of penetratin
The photodissociation of bromobenzene in solution was investigated with ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy following excitation at 266 nm. Ab initio calculations of lower singlet and triplet states were performed in order to guide the interpretations. The main feature of the kinetics measured between 300 and 930 nm in acetonitrile is a 9±1 ps decay, which we mainly assign to predissociati
