This thesis researches a perceived paradox between the Swedish government's reluctance to identify their foreign policy as feminist, and the simultaneous production of an inclusion plan that implements feminist and queer perspectives. The application of a feminist perspective on Fairclough's three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis aims to investigate how nationalist and femi
This essay examines how Nike uses narrative strategies in its commercials on Instagram to create identification with the recipient. The aim is to analyze how the visual, verbal and emotional interaction in the films contributes to building engaging stories that arouse emotional recognition and convey the brand's values. The study is based on Sonja Foss's model for narrative analysis, which
Acoustophoresis enables label-free separation of particles and cells in microfluidic sys- tems, but systematic methods for analysing and comparing separation behaviour re- main limited. In this thesis, a workflow based on the mobility ratio was evaluated as an experimental framework for characterising acoustophoretic separations, using flow cytometry as the analytical tool. Separation experiments
Utmattning har under de senaste åren blivit en av de vanligaste orsakerna till sjukfrånvaro i Sverige, vilket medför konsekvenser på såväl individuell som organisatorisk och samhällsekonomisk nivå. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur upplevda arbetskrav, kontroll, socialt stöd och prestationsbaserad självkänsla (PBS) påverkar risken för utmattning bland yrkesverksamma i Sverige. Data samladesIn recent years, exhaustion disorder has become one of the most common causes of sick leave in Sweden, leading to consequences at individual, organizational and socioeconomic levels. The aim of this study was to investigate how perceived work demands, control, social support and performance-based self-esteem (PBSE) affect the risk of exhaustion among working people in Sweden. Data was collected th
Battery electric trucks and autonomous driving systems are each approaching commercial viability for long-haul freight. Current development treats these technologies as independent improvements to diesel operations. This thesis examines the operational and economic synergies that emerge when autonomy and Megawatt Charging System infrastructure are deployed together rather than in isolation. The a
PurposeIn the transformation to the circular economy, circular logistics nodes are becoming increasingly important to, for example, match supply and demand, coordinate flows, increase logistics efficiency and customer utility, and reduce environmental impact. The purpose of this study is to expand our theoretical understanding of the circular retail transformation and its implications for circular
The healthcare systems of today are facing large challenges, with increasing amounts of patients and overworked hospital staff. Prostate cancer and Alzheimer’s disease are two of the most prevalent diseases, with incidence numbers expected to rise over the coming decade. Medical imaging plays a central role in current diagnostic procedures for these diseases, enabling the potential use of machine-
Background and Objectives – Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) is characterized by an amnestic- and limbic-predominant phenotype, which can mimic Alzheimer disease (AD). In a memory clinic cohort, we tested whether clinical criteria for LATE can detect a clinical profile of LATE that is distinct from AD.Methods – In this retrospective examination of a longitudinal memory c
The rise of solo living presents significant social and environmental challenges, particularly in high-income countries like Denmark where nearly half of households are single occupancy. This study explores the social dynamics driving the trend towards living alone through in-depth interviews with 23 individuals living alone in Denmark. Pathways to solo living include urban relocation, aging out o
In this work, we have developed for the first time a method to make novel gold and platinum hybrid bimetallic nanostructures differing in shape and size. Au-Pt nanostructures were prepared by electrodeposition in two simple steps. The first step consists of the electrodeposition of nanocoral Au onto a gold substrate using hydrogen as a dynamic template in an ammonium chloride solution. After that,
Rapid elasticity is one of the essential characteristics of cloud computing identified by NIST [17]. Elasticity allows resources to be provisioned and released to scale rapidly out ward and in ward according to demand. Tens - if not hundreds - of algorithms have been proposed in the literature to automatically achieve elastic provisioning [15, 23, 14, 21, 13, 20, 6, 12, 16, 10]. These algorithms a
The decrease of Ortolan Bunting Emberiza hortulana inWestern Europe over the last five decades has caused seriousconcern for the survival of this species in Sweden.In order to find out the migration routes and wintering location,we equipped several males with geologgers. Ourdata show annual cycles of migrations routes, winteringgrounds and time schedules for seven re-trapped birds.The wintering ar
Searches for new heavy resonances decaying to WW, WZ, and ZZ bosons are presented, using a data sample corresponding to 3.2 fb−1 of pp collisions at s=13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Analyses selecting ννqq, ℓνqq, ℓℓqq and qqqq final states are combined, searching for an arrow-width resonance with mass between 500 and 3000 GeV. The discriminating variabl
This research aims to develop efficient process technologies that are capable of converting/utilising CO2 streams into energy-rich liquid products (fuels). This would result in better solutions with near-zero-carbon-emissions level. From an energetic and economic point of view, methanol synthesis from CO2 is a competitive alternate to methanol production from biomass. Our work considers the CO2 ba
Little is known about arable agriculture in the Early Neolithic (4000–3300 cal BC, Funnel Beaker Culture) of Southern Scandinavia. Archaeobotanical material is rare and few archaeological sites have yielded more than a small number of charred cereal grains. In this short communication, we present single-entity carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses of charred cereals from Stensborg, an early Funnel
The 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex is composed of three different subenzymes: 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (E1o), dihydrolipoamide transsuccinylase (E2o), and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3). Bacillus subtilis E1o and E2o are encoded by the citK and citM genes, respectively. A 3.4-kb BamHI DNA fragment containing citK and citM markers was isolated from a library of B. subtili
