Trends for the atmospheric deposition of sulphur (S) and inorganic nitrogen (inorg-N) to forests and changes in the forest soil water chemistry in Sweden have been assessed since 1985, with special focus on the last 25 years, based on measurements within the Swedish Throughfall Monitoring Network (SWETHRO). The reductions in the deposition of S and inorg-N in the southern part of Sweden correspond
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether self-administered Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) lead to reduced pain perception, increased acceptance and coping ability, and better health-related quality of life in individuals with fibromyalgia.

The Arctic Council has long been portrayed as an arena for stable and depoliticized cooperation, often referred to as exemplifying the idea of Arctic exceptionalism. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and the following pause in cooperation, did however raise questions about the resilience of the cooperation in the council. This paper presents a discourse analysis of ministerial meeti
Denna uppsats analyserar de rättsliga kriterier som avgör huruvida ett företag anses ha ett fast etableringsställe (FE) i mervärdesskatterättslig mening enligt EU-rätten, med särskilt fokus på bestämmelserna om beskattningsland vid tillhandahållande av tjänster. Begreppet FE är inte fullt ut definierat i mervärdesskattedirektivet, men har preciserats genom artikel 11 i tillämpningsförordningen och
I takt med att samhället utvecklas förändras också våra uppfattningar om yttre skönhet. Med dagens media exponeras vi ständigt för olika värderingar knutna till kropp och utseende vilket medför att allt fler individer utesluts av de närmast ouppnåeliga normer som skapas. Detta utanförskap riskerar att leda till allvarliga fysiska och psykiska problem. Ett av de mest inflytelserika tillvägagångssAs society evolves, so do our perceptions of external beauty. With today's media, we are constantly exposed to different values associated with body and appearance, which means that more and more individuals are excluded by the almost unattainable standards that are created. This isolation risks leading to serious physical and mental health problems. One of the most influential ways for commu
För närvarande står byggnadsindustrin för en betydande del av de totala utsläppen av växthusgaser i Sverige. Resurseffektiviteten är låg och de råmaterial som används i dagsläget utnyttjas inte på ett effektivt sätt. Det råder ingen tvekan om att konsumtionen av naturresurser är ett problem, något som kan förbättras genom exempelvis en ökad grad av återanvändning i materialflödet och genom att vidAt present, the construction industry accounts for a significant part of the total greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden. Resource efficiency is low and the raw materials currently used are not utilized in an efficient manner. There is no doubt that the consumption of natural resources is a problem, something that can be improved by, for example, increasing the degree of reuse in the material flow an
More and more cities are being marketed as green. Malmö has since the late 90ies transformed from a city in great economic downturn to being internationally known for its green profile, attracting companies, tourists and professional visitors. Despite its reputation of being the city of parks Malmö has the second to least green space per person in all of Sweden’s urban areas, and it’s shrinking. T
This thesis argues for the significance of worry in Mark Haddon’s A Spot of Bother (2006) and The Red House (2012). All of Haddon’s novels can be said to be a study of the human consciousness, containing a variety of worried characters, but it is notable that worry is most predominantly present in the two novels that centre around complex family dynamics. For this reason, these two novels will be
This thesis is a single-case study of Assyrian identity politicization in the context of the conflict in Iraq and Syria from 2012 to 2017. The thesis investigates to what extent and in which manner that a politicization of Assyrian identity can be said to have occurred by reviewing empirical data concerning the events of the period and analyzing statements from three Assyrian militias. The Islamic
Nutid AB currently supplies a POS (Point of Sale) system that they install on Sharps hardware, which consists of a computer, a touchscreen and a cash register all in one. This explicitly produced hardware results in the POS system being very expensive for the customers. The company focused on getting an application out on the market at the beginning of 2017.

Healthcare is facing several upcoming challenges, such as individuals tending to become unhealthier, which is the cause of many chronic diseases and lack of healthcare professionals, resulting in decreased efficiency in healthcare. A shift to preventive healthcare could reverse this trend by focusing on improving the living habits of the population. Internet of Things technology has enabled tools
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has emerged as a versatile platform for whole-cell biocatalysis, owing to its intrinsic regeneration of cofactors and amenability to genetic engineering. However, efficient reductive amination of aromatic carbonyls remains challenging due to competing redox pathways and product inhibition by pyruvate. Building on the redox-rewired TMB4133 strain (∆gpd1,2) that accumulates
This report explores the role of local actors in enhancing early warning systems (EWS) for fires in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Veld and urban fires present significant risks to communities and infrastructure, especially in rural and informal urban areas. The study focuses on (1) understanding how local actors such as fire services and Fire Protection Associations contribute to the
As Climate Change increases the frequency and severity of wildfires in British Columbia, communities at the Wildland Urban Interface face escalating risks. This thesis explores the challenges and opportunities of community engagement in wildfire management in the city of Kamloops, one of the most fire-prone urban areas in British Columbia. Employing a single-case study design, the research is base
Norms can act as touch stones to understanding reality; they could be both regulative and constitutive in nature. But the extent to which norms can actually influence decision making remains a true test to the relevance of constructivist arguments. My research is both qualitative and constructivist in nature. It examines the role played by civil society actors in the internalization of human right
Board gaming has to a large degree, been studied based on historical sources. Ironically, this is true even for prehistoric games, where the Icelandic sagas have been used as a starting point for a deductive hunt for the mysterious game Hnefatafl. Later studies of gaming have to a large extent been transferring older research results. According to the author, this has created a rather skewed pictu
