Turkey, the country of failed and "successful" military coups, experienced the latest coup attempt on July 15, 2016, in which it is still unclear how, why, and by whom it originated. However, after this critical event, Turkish media and critical journalists were subjected to very strict censorship and repression. Hundreds of journalists were arrested for their views, and many had to flee
The study examines the role of smartphones as both a media technology and media practice in the context of the war between Ukraine and Russia starting in 2022. Focusing on Ukrainian civilians, who constitute one of the most networked societies, the research explores the extent and quality of smartphone technology's pervasiveness, evolving social dynamics and experiences shaped by smartphone-me
Analysis of alternative splicing has provided valuable information for multiple types of cancer, including breast cancer in recent years. Alternative splicing has been suggested to be one of the hallmarks for cancer, as dysregulation of the normal splicing process governs many aspects of cancer cell biology. For several genes previously associated with cancer, specific variants and their effect on
Biological invasion is one of the main drivers of species extinctions. Therefore, measures are implemented to reduce the abundance of the invading species with the goal to mitigate its impact. These measures often lead to high labour and economic expenditures yet their effectiveness are often uncertain. To evaluate and thereby improve the mitigation of invasions, it is essential to understand the
This study represents the first large scale assessment of the ichthyofaunal biodiversity in Gansbaai, Souuth Africa by using BRUV (Baited Remote Underwater Video) in the bay. Results show that the bay supports a diverse and abundant fish community, including several species that are of conservation concern. Forty species from 22 families were recorded across 89 sample sites across three habitat ty
Abstrakt Antalet vårdplatser per invånare i Sverige har minskat de senaste 20 åren. Akutmottagningarna har fått en ökad belastning. Sjuksköterskornas arbetsuppgifter är många och av olika karaktär, allt från att ta hand om enklare symtom till plötslig död. Arbetet kan vara kroppsligt tung och psykiskt påfrestande. Akutmottagningarna har hög personalomsättning och sänkta kompetenskrav vid nyanställ
High intensity focused ultrasound is a growing technique for tissue ablation, among other uses, and given its destructive capabilities, there is a need for control of where the energy is delivered. There exist a number of methods for focusing such ultrasound arrays, but these often assume prior knowledge of the impulse response, or require extensive full-system simulations. This thesis explores sc
This study arises from an existential concern that there is an obliviousness in academia with regards to the recent eruption of the transhumanist movement–an ideological force imbued with potentially calamitous socioecological consequences. With the support from recent claims that the transhumanist ideology exerts powerful influence on Western politics, this study seeks to investigate how the tran
This paper examines constructions of nature as communicated in three films by outdoor company Patagonia. By employing discourse analysis and the theory of spectacle, the films are seen to construct nature as wilderness and thus apart from humans. Speaking as an authority on the matter, Patagonia suggests wilderness ideals as a method of conservation. Together with representations of nature as spec
Both C-N and C-C bond formation reactions are fundamental part of synthetic chemistry and have been widely studied for the past several decades and will most likely continue to do so in the future. In this project, I report a base catalyzed transition metal-free C-N and C-C bond formation reactions from abundant and green substrates with sustainable chemistry in mind. Previous methods uses either
Dagens byggbransch har problem med att effektivt förvandla erfarenheter till kunskap som används till att driva mer produktiva byggprojekt. Byggherren spelar en central roll i hur byggprojekt utformas och genomförs och har därmed stora möjligheter att påverka byggbranschens arbetssätt och normer. En stor del av byggbranschens projektkostnader utgörs av felkostnader, något som primärt är byggherren
Bakgrund: Det finns mycket forskning som belyser vikten av god kommunikation vid överrapportering av patienter från olika enheter och mellan arbetspass. Många av de fel som begås inom sjukvården är kopplade till brister i kommunikationen. Ett riskmoment för att drabbas av vårdskada är bristande överrapportering av patienter mellan vårdpersonal Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka sjuksköterskors upple
Sweden has a high number of bomb shelters per capita when compared to other nations. After the end of the cold war, Sweden began to construct bomb shelters and continued to increase their number until 2002. However, because Sweden has not experienced a crisis or war since then, these bomb shelters have aged and some are even past their due date. Formerly, it was determined that other countries co
Values are a crucial aspect of human–nature relationships, and they play important roles in policies on land use and environmental management. However, our current decision-making systems tend to take inadequate account of the diversity of values associated with human relationships with nature. Instrumental, monetary values dominate the political systems following the Western neoliberal hegemony.
In recent years, carbon dioxide removals have gained significant attention as a potential solution to address the climate crisis, and the IPCC considers it an important component of staying within 1.5 degrees of warming. Start-ups are actively working to translate theoretical approaches into tangible biophysical actions. Many of these start-ups offer their services as carbon credits, which allow c
Under de senaste åren har en ny invändning i våldtäktsmål uppkommit i de svenska domstolarna; sexsomniinvändningen. Med denna invändning påstår försvarssidan att den sexuella handlingen har begåtts i sömnen, vilket medför avsaknad av medvetenhet och uppsåt. I brottsbalken stadgas att om inget annat är föreskrivet är en gärning endast ett brott om den företas med uppsåt. Om åklagaren inte lyckas moIn recent years, a new objection in rape cases has arisen in the Swedish courts; the sexsomnia objection. With this objection, the defense claims that the sexual act was committed during sleep, leading to the perpetrator lacking awareness and intent. The Swedish Criminal Code stipulates that, unless otherwise prescribed, an act is only a crime if committed with intent. Granted that the prosecutor
This thesis presents the design and implementation of a Geographic Information System (GIS) for the Naoussa Municipality Water and Sewer Company for better water utility management. The methodology contained field data collection like the valves, sewer manholes, hydrometers, and hydrants in two ways, UAV photogrammetry, and traditional surveying, the georeferencing process, photogrammetric proces
This study delves into Systembolaget's advertising campaign "Experten" to investigate its influence on public perception and cultural identity. Launched in 2015, the campaign successfully bolstered trust in Systembolaget by 14 percentage points. Employing qualitative content analysis and multimodal semiotic analysis, this thesis explores expert and public opinions of the adverts, aim
This thesis analyzes the effects of mountain tourism on local people and communities in Nepal with a focus on three main questions: the equity of mountain jobs, the impacts of Western mountaineering’s dominance on local cultures, and the respect and lack of respect for local workers' lives. Despite repeated accounts of precarious and dangerous working conditions the adventure and mountain tour
As electrification of vehicles moves past its infancy and large-scale adoption of the technology becomes reality, application areas within different industries need to be scrutinized. The shift within the transportation sector, especially trucking, can have unidentified economic benefits; which is the focus of this thesis. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a decision model with regard to th
