Bushfires in Australia have long been rhetorically painted in dark overtones, representing nature’s onslaught on the human realm. Yet they are a phenomenon juxtaposing both darkness and light – chiaroscuro; using the unprecedented 2019/20 bushfire season as a case study, this thesis demonstrates how exploring the political ecology of disaster can open windows into the nature of our world extending
Streptococcus pyogenes covered by a human plasma protein shell Streptococcus pyogenes is a bacterium found mainly on human skin. It can cause a number of diseases ranging from uncritical to life threatening sepsis by entering the bloodstream. Infections such as sepsis can have high mortality rates, making it essential to identify how this bacterium causes infections. It is equally important to de
Current land use change and habitat fragmentation have caused severe decline in bumble bee populations. In order to address this issue and plan future conservation measures and strategies for plant pollinator networks, it is important to understand their foraging behaviour. A few studies in the past have tried to understand foraging constancy in bumble bees. However, there is no clear information
Marginalized communities in Southern contexts are among those most vulnerable to the effects of our drastically changing climate and environmental systems. Therefore, pathways leading to the transformation of our unsustainable systems, structures, and behaviors affecting these communities must be explored. To achieve transformation, some researchers argue that social learning is one such pathway.
Sustainable development at the local level is greatly impacted by policymaking. In China’s Jingmai Mountain region, the sustainable development policies are centred mostly around the tea industry, due to the social and environmental dynamics surrounding tea in that region. However, considering the complex interlinkages between the tea industry and local environment and society, the policies concer
Sättet som världen presenterar sig för våra sinnesorgan är genom en kontinuerlig ström av information, men vår upplevelse av den är uppdelad i diskreta händelser. Enligt eventsegmenteringsteorin är den här segmenteringen en inbyggd och automatisk del av mänsklig kognition. Omfattande forskning ger inte bara stöd åt den här teorin utan tyder också på att sättet vi delar upp händelser påverkar vårt The world presents itself to our sense organs as a continuous stream of input, yet we appear to conceive experiences in terms of discrete events. According to event segmentation theory, this segmentation is an intrinsic and automatic component of human cognition. A considerable body of research provides evidence for this claim and suggests further that the way we segment events has consequences fo
I grew up in the small town of Diö where a factory called Gemla Fabrikers AB has been located for the past hundred years. They are the only company in Sweden that creates bentwood furniture today. This personal connection, combined with my interest in furniture design and manufacturing, led me to pursue this project. After a study visit to the factory and meeting up with the factory manager, I se
Damage to DNA can cause death to an individual cell and serious harm to the host organism. Photosensitized reactions are one cause of DNA damage. It can lead to destructive chemical reactions targeted to a base of the DNA as well as a breakage along one or both of the DNA strands. Due to this, quantifying and understanding photosensitized driven DNA damage is an important topic of research. From
This report elaborates on the renovation of residential housing development from Danish modernism built between the 1930s and late 1950s. The period represents a significant moment in the history of Danish architecture. Modernist ideas gained ground in the housing sector and secured attractive and healthy living conditions for Danish working- and middle-class people. The most renowned architects w
I den här uppsatsen undersöks debatten om 2018 och 2019 års Nobelpris i litteratur, med syftet att skapa en uppfattning om synen på Nobelprisets värde och dess ställning i prisekonomin. Undersökningen genomförs med ett kvalitativt angreppssätt och dess material består av 42 artiklar från fyra svenska dagstidningar och två svenska branschtidningar. Materialet analyseras med utgångspunkt i James F.
This thesis explores the topic of interpellation and subjugation in fantasy computer role-playing games (CRPGs). Using an assemblage-based framework, I argue that CRPG players are hailed and manipulated by the interplay of several texts and dynamics—mainly prose, code, numerical values, rule sets, and mechanics. My research focuses on games with extensive textual narratives that match—or exceed—th
Studien syftar till att undersöka uppkomsten av fenomenet alkoholfri reklam. Bakgrunden visar på att stora varumärken satsar stora summor på sin alkoholfria marknadsföring men statistiken visar på att försäljningen av de alkoholfria alternativen inte motsvarar investeringarna. Studiens forskningsfrågor intresserar således sig av budskapen i den alkoholfria reklamen, utformningen av dessa och dess The study aims to investigate the emergence of the phenomenon of non-alcoholic advertising. The background shows that large brands have invested a lot of money in their non-alcoholic marketing through the years, but the statistics show that the sale of the non-alcoholic alternatives does not correspond to the investments done by the brands. The study's research questions are thus interested in
Narrative and gender are both notions closely connected to culture and society. Narrative, on the one hand, is not just the art of telling stories, it carries deeper meanings, evokes feelings, and even affects our actions and interactions with one another. Gender, on the other hand, and specifically social gender, is defined as the gender identity that a person has shaped through his or her intera
A very common type of problem within mathematics and numerical analysis are fixed-point problems, which can arise as sub-problems of optimization methods, differential equations solvers and much more. The most basic iterative approach for fixed-point problems is fixed-point iteration, special cases of which actually date back as far as the Babylonians, where it was used to to find the square roots
