Carbon sequestration and long-term carbon storage are fundamental characteristics of northern peatland ecosystems. A key process influencing the carbon balance is the decomposition of litter and peat, which not only emits carbon to the atmosphere but also releases dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to recipient waters. However, these processes are susceptible to shifts, as climate change and managemen
This thesis analyzes Brazilian students’ psychological barriers to accessing international education opportunities. Based on a mixed-methods approach, it explores how internalized feelings of inferiority, low academic confidence, and perception of not belonging are rooted in colonial legacy, at a racial and gendered intersection, more strongly perceived by marginalized groups. The study emphasizes
I Sveriges decentraliserade och diversifierade skolsystem verkar rektorer i skärningspunkten mellan pedagogiska ideal, organisatoriska krav och föränderliga styrformer. Denna uppsats undersöker hur rektorer i kommunala, privata och ideellt drivna grundskolor tolkar och utövar sina professionella roller inom dessa institutionellt mångfacetterade sammanhang. Genom intervjuer med svenska rektorer i dIn Sweden’s decentralised and diverse school system, principals operate at the intersection of pedagogical ideals, organisational demands, and shifting governance structures. This thesis examines how principals in public, private, and NGO-run elementary schools interpret and enact their professional roles within these institutionally diverse settings. By interviewing Swedish principals in these di
This paper aims to comprehensively examine the impact of global climate change, particularly how climate change and the natural disasters it triggers affect the insurance sector in Asia and Europe and the stock market performance of reinsurance companies in both Asia and Europe. Using an appropriate event study methodology, the study investigates the impact of two natural disasters in China and tw
In Vietnam, household food waste is increasing due to changing consumption patterns and urbanization. While technological innovations in food packaging, such as intelligent packaging, have the potential to reduce food waste, their success depends on consumer acceptance. This study explores Vietnamese consumers' perceptions of intelligent packaging as a tool for food waste prevention and factor

This thesis explores audience engagement within the dark romance genre, using the Cat and Mouse Duet as a case study. Through discussions with readers, we aimed to explore underlying motivations for engagement and dive deeper into the genre as a whole. As dark romance has only recently solidified its position as a subgenre, previous research has mostly focused on regular romance. In the past decad
In recent years, the issue of algorithmic bias in systems has gradually drawn the European Union’s attention to the relationship between data protection and non-discrimination principles. To detect and mitigate bias in high-risk AI systems, developers often need to process special categories of personal data such as information relating to race, gender or health. However, Article 9 of the GDPR pro

The central object of the analysis is the International Court of Justice’s 2012 jud
Contemporary processes of radicalization into far-right extremism are increasingly shaped by digital, online communication environments that convey ideology through multiple communication modes, as well as aesthetic and culturally embedded forms of expression. Short-form content platforms such as TikTok enable fast production and circulation of highly engaging content that creates communicative ar
Even though the eclectic paradigm was founded approximately 50 years ago, it remains among the leading frameworks for firms determining whether to engage in foreign direct investment (FDI). The framework asserts that multinational companies (MNCs) only will engage in FDI if they have ownership, location, and internalization advantages. There is currently a research gap pertaining to if there are a
The accelerating global energy transition has intensified demand for energy transition minerals (ETMs), many of which are located on or near Indigenous lands. While ETMs are essential for decarbonisation, their extraction often reproduces entrenched patterns of socio-ecological injustice and generates new pressures on Indigenous Peoples, territories, and ways of life. Free, Prior and Informed Cons

Changes in extracellular levels of acetylcholine and choline in the hippocampal formation were measured using intracerebral microdialysis coupled to high performance liquid chromatography with post-column enzyme reaction and electrochemical detection. Various pharmacological and physiological manipulations were applied to awake unrestrained normal rats and rats subjected to a cholinergic denervati
This paper is based on the preliminary stage of a PhD research that aims to explore meaning of cultural memories and its relation to the notion of city identities from participatory cultures that occur in Southeast Asian cities. The paper discusses the development of its conceptual framework, from cultural memory studies, participatory cultures in urban context, to digital ethnography as the resea
BACKGROUND:: Little is known regarding gross motor skills (GMS) in children with idiopathic clubfoot (IC). This study describes GMS, specifically foot involvement and asymmetries, and analyses the association between GMS, gait, and foot status in children with IC. METHODS:: Gross motor tasks and gait were analyzed in children with IC and typically developed (TD) children. GMS were assessed using v
