This thesis is based on the research that I conducted in a co-working space called The Ground, located in Slussen, Malmö, Sweden. The aim of the research is to investigate how The Ground (and other co-working spaces, as well) can become more pro-active in facilitating collaborations, especially inside its own community. The Ground is a small host organization itself. Parallel to its future growth,

Ecosystem services from forestry are highly valuable and may be limited by ungulate browsing. Thus, I investigated the impact and seasonality of browsing on Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies) using seasonal exclosures. Slightly more than 10 % of the pine trees were browsed at the top shoot, compared to spruce where top shoot browsing was almost non-existent. Pines that h

The Earth’s climate has always been changing, since the origin of our planet. The rate of change is now rapidly increasing in a substantial scale, leading to new challenges. The average temperature on Earth has risen 0.9 degrees since the 19th century and the oceans have absorbed a substantial amount of heat and carbon dioxide, believed leading to ocean acidification killing the marine life. Ice s

A transition from conventional to organic agricultural practices has been shown to have positive impacts on soil and ground-living fauna. Organic farming manure is on the other hand harder for the crops to absorb than conventional fertilizers, which results in more pollutants and unsatisfactory yields. This problem is mitigated in alley cropping, an agroforestry practice where rows of trees and bu

This Thesis seeks to give its reader the tools to understand the data privacy divide between the EU and the US. It explains the crucial notions, historical and jurisprudential factors and regulatory frameworks underlying and constituting it. First, it answers why regulating data privacy is paramount to our democratic societies on both sides of the Atlantic. The growing importance of the data dri

Denna uppsats undersökte hur psykologer och tolkar upplever samarbetet sinsemellan inom ramen för barn- och ungdomshabilitering samt hur samarbetet kan utvecklas. Utifrån en tolkande hållning i likhet med tolkande fenomenologisk ansats genomfördes en tematisk analys utifrån semistrukturerade intervjuer med fyra legitimerade psykologer och fyra auktoriserade språktolkar. Resultatet sammanfattades iThis empirical study aspired to explore how registered psychologists and authorized interpreters perceived their collaboration in the children and adolescent habilitation center, and how this collaboration could be developed. After interviewing four registered psychologists and four authorized interpreters using semi-structured interviews, a thematic analysis was performed using an interpretative

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are of great importance for the body and can be used to treat diseases such as leukemia or autoimmune conditions. To be able to use HSCs more extensively in therapies we need to know more about how they are being regulated, one way to do this is by knocking down genes with RNA interference. In this project we test a new micro RNA (miRNA), called miR30E, to investiga

Purpose: The main purpose of this research is to gain a better understanding of how communication messages can be created more effectively in order to increase the intention to participate in VCO schemes. Furthermore, this study seeks to investigate if and how VCO and public transportation as part of a low carbon footprint vacation could be communicated. Method: A quantitative method with an expe

This essay is about individuals from Malmo who speaks suburb Swedish and the meaning of them feeling at home in their everyday life. It’s about the meaning of suburb Swedish in the process of how different norms of identity comes to matter and shape how bodies move through, expand in and inhabit different places in the Urban Geography of Malmo City.
