Global warming and climate change is getting a serious issue and a great environmental threat that affects many aspects of life and our ways of living on this planet. The negative effects of climate change are endangering our communities, health and economy. Global warming can be considered as a main reason for sea rising levels, extreme heat which is responsible for many forests’ fires, severe dr
The complexity of climate change creates a need for multifunctional solutions. Urban farming is a tool with potential for adapting and transitioning society. While not a new phenomenon, the incentives have changed and therefore contemporary characteristics for urban farming need to be further examined. This study analyzes how urban farms are valued and central barriers together with drivers. Opera
This thesis analyses ten indepth interviews on domestic workers, class and gender roles with ten young, politically inclined and often adamantly feminist women towards the upper end of the Indian class spectrum. It aims to deepen the understanding of employerworker relations and gendered domestic roles in contemporary Indian households. Previous literature on the middletoupper class employers of d
The product H2 is a new heat exchanger produced, manufactured and sold by Heatex. It has an excellent surface efficiency, in large parts because of its slim features. The slim features does however have a drawback. It isn’t as mechanically stable and robust as its earlier cousins. The product tends to deform plastically in lifting conditions, especially the heavier versions needs extra support or,
This study reviews the influence of the Environment Board in municipal spatial planning in the city of Malmö and aims to highlight improvements in the consultation process. The municipalities are responsible for planning how land and water resources are to be used and thus central in attaining a sustainable land use and urban planning. Development plans are created by The City Planning Office and
The research objective for this thesis are two problematic yet interweaving occurrences observed in earlier research on the Abu Ghraib scandal (2004) and its image material. Firstly in terms of methodology, a restricted amount of images in which three single images, “Hooded Man”, “Man on Leash” and “Piled Bodies” are overrepresented and frequently regarded as descriptive for the scandal as such. S
Hazardous substances i.e., substances of concern pose a risk to both human health and the environment. Stricter regulations and increased focus on circular economy are pushing organisations to substitute hazardous chemicals to safer alternatives. Substitution can lead to a number of benefits, for example cost reductions and competitive advantages. There has been a growing focus on substitution sin
Large and old trees provide important habitat structures and support a high diversity of species. Habitat continuity and landscape connectivity is crucial for species associated with oaks. Fragmentation, agriculture intensification and changed forest management has caused a reduction of old and large oaks, which threatens the long-term persistence of oak associated species by reducing habitat cont
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för stora utsläpp av växthusgaser från byggnadsmaterial- och energianvändning. Byggbranschen står idag för ca en femtedel av Sveriges totala koldioxidutsläpp. Ett område med stor potential är byggnadsmaterial där IsoTimber är ett av företagen som driver utvecklingen framåt. IsoTimber är en relativt ny aktör inom byggsektorn som tillverkar prefabricerade väggar i trThe construction and real estate sector accounts for a large part of the emission of greenhouse gases from the usage of building material and energy. The construction industry today accounts for about one-fifth of Sweden’s total carbon dioxide emissions. One area with great potential is building materials where IsoTimber is one of the companies that drive the development forward. IsoTimber is a re
All around the world is the form of the built environment playing a significant role in either enabling or inhibiting outdoor activities. When it comes to winter and Winter cities, it is a challenge how to enable and encourage outdoor activities and soft mobility as the harsh conditions often make it uncomfortable to spend longer periods of time outdoors. A major urban design challenge in Winter
Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) is a gut-derived hormone of the neuropeptide Y family that regulates appetite, gastrointestinal motility, and energy homeostasis through activation of the neuropeptide Y4 receptor (Y4R). With the rising prevalence of obesity, understanding the molecular pharmacology and structure-function relationships of PP-Y4R interactions is essential for the development of novel ant
Through the tight link between plants and their pollinators, plant species often decline when their pollinators decline and vice versa. These nominal declines are well studied for many plant-pollinator networks. Less well known is the effect that the decline of a plant species has on the behaviour of its pollinators, and how potential changes in pollinator behaviour affect the reproductive success
This thesis explores the construction and negotiation of Tibetan identities through the lens of native Tibetan cinema, with a focus on Pema Tseden’s Balloon (2019). Drawing on theories of identity as construction, cultural hybridity, and minor cinema, the study examines how cinematic narratives and audience interpretations intersect to produce a nuanced understanding of Tibetan identities in conte
This thesis investigates how Chinese female stand-up comedians construct gendered narratives through humor and how female audiences interpret and respond to these performances. Focusing on two popular online shows—Stand-up Comedy and Its Friends and Comedy King (Stand-up Season)—the study examines how humor becomes a space for negotiating feminist expression under ideological, cultural, and commer
Låneförbuden i den svenska aktiebolagslagen (ABL) utgör kapitalskydds-regler och innefattar två separata förbudsbestämmelser. Först, ett generellt låneförbud, ofta benämnt som förbudet mot närståendelån, som specificeras i 21 kap. 1§ ABL. Detta förbud hindrar aktiebolag från att låna ut pengar till exempelvis styrelsemedlemmar, aktieägare i bolaget, eller andra bolag inom samma koncern. För det anThe loan prohibitions in the Swedish Aktiebolagslagen (ABL) constitute capital protection rules and mainly encompass two separate prohibition provisions. First, a general loan prohibition, often referred to as the prohibi-tion against loans to related parties (närståendelåneförbudet), which is specified in ABL chapter 21, section 1. This prohibition prevents Swedish limited companies (Sw. aktiebol
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a versatile and biocompatible polysaccharide produced by bacteria, with Komagataeibacter xylinus being the model species for its production. This polymer has unique properties that make it valuable in several applications, including as a rheology modifier in cosmetics. Cellugy, a Danish start-up, produces EcoFLEXY, a BC-based rheology modifier that enhances the viscosit
