Forest ecosystems are important actors in climate change mitigation strategies through their abilities to act as both carbon sinks and sources. The commonly used forest management strategy of clearcutting has been suggested to be paired with large greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the need for research on the climate effect from alternative management strategies. Rumperöd forest is managed thro

This study looks at the change of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) intensity in Rio Park, Madrid, which during the course of the last 20 years has in essence been retransformed from an urban highway into a flourishing green park along the Manzanares river. The deconstruction of the M-30 highway started in 2005, was completely finished in 2015, and canopy growth in the area continued during the followin

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a versatile and biocompatible polysaccharide produced by bacteria, with Komagataeibacter xylinus being the model species for its production. This polymer has unique properties that make it valuable in several applications, including as a rheology modifier in cosmetics. Cellugy, a Danish start-up, produces EcoFLEXY, a BC-based rheology modifier that enhances the viscosit

The analysis is guided by the following three research questions: (RQ 1) Does gender affect Swedish entrepre

The last mass-extinction event happened over 65 million years ago when an asteroid collided with earth, resulting in the loss of 76% of all species. Scientists now warn that we are on the precipice of a new mass-extinction, the responsibility of which can be placed entirely on one species, the homo sapiens. While some species of birds, bats, and arthropods are especially vulnerable, we are all int

Studiens syfte är att undersöka vad som motiverar unga vuxna att använda sig av sociala medier, hur deras användande ser ut, vilket typ av innehåll de får upp och deras upplevelser kring det innehåll som presenteras för dem. Studien utgår främst från den kvalitativa metoden fokusgruppsintervjuer, och det transkriberade innehållet analyserades sedan genom kodningsmetoden Summary-based reporting. Fo

Världen står inför en stor energifråga, nämligen hur man skall kunna fasa ut användning av sådana fossila bränslen som kol och olja. En lovande lösning är vätgas, eftersom den endast producerar vatten när den förbränns, vilket gör den mycket renare för miljön. Forskare utforskar sätt att producera vätgas med förnybar energi, vilket kan hjälpa till att minska vårt beroende av fossila bränslen och sBiomimetic models inspired by natural [FeFe] hydrogenases have good potential for clean hydrogen production. Improving these models to increase their efficiency is a challenge that requires further research and development. This study aims to explore the catalytic behavior of ruthenium-based clusters in proton reduction to create hydrogen production catalysts inspired by natural hydrogenases. Four

Through the tight link between plants and their pollinators, plant species often decline when their pollinators decline and vice versa. These nominal declines are well studied for many plant-pollinator networks. Less well known is the effect that the decline of a plant species has on the behaviour of its pollinators, and how potential changes in pollinator behaviour affect the reproductive success

This thesis explores the construction and negotiation of Tibetan identities through the lens of native Tibetan cinema, with a focus on Pema Tseden’s Balloon (2019). Drawing on theories of identity as construction, cultural hybridity, and minor cinema, the study examines how cinematic narratives and audience interpretations intersect to produce a nuanced understanding of Tibetan identities in conte

This thesis investigates how Chinese female stand-up comedians construct gendered narratives through humor and how female audiences interpret and respond to these performances. Focusing on two popular online shows—Stand-up Comedy and Its Friends and Comedy King (Stand-up Season)—the study examines how humor becomes a space for negotiating feminist expression under ideological, cultural, and commer

Examensarbetet utreder hur hanteringen av förorenade schaktmassor kan bli mer hållbar och cirkulär genom att tillämpa in-situ-tekniker. Syftet är att kartlägga befintliga och framväxande saneringsmetoder, identifiera tekniska, juridiska och ekonomiska hinder och kvantifiera möjliga klimat- och kostnadsvinster så att branschaktörer får ett beslutsunderlag för ökad lokal behandling och återanvändninThis thesis clarifies how the management of contaminated excavation soils can be made more sustainable and circular by applying in-situ techniques. Its aim is to map existing and emerging remediation methods, identify technical, legal and economic obstacles, and quantify potential climate and cost benefits, giving industry stakeholders a sound basis for increasing local treatment and reuse of soil

På grund av vissa 3:12-reglers utformning och praxis på området har överlåtelser av fåmansbolag genom den sk. trädabolagsmetoden behandlats skattemässigt olika beroende på om förvärvaren av bolaget ingår i närståendekretsen eller inte. Riksdagen har genom att bifalla Prop. 2018/19:54, avsett att ändra på olikbehandlingen genom att det bl.a. införs ett nytt lagrum i lagstiftningen, 57 kap. 4 a § ILDue to the construction of some 3:12 rules and precedents from the Supreme Administrative Court, transfers of close companies through the so-called ”trädabolagsmetoden” is from a tax aspect treated differently, depending on whether the acquirer of the close company is related to the seller or not. Related persons is currently disfavoured. The Swedish Parliament has through accepting Prop. 2018/19:

Self-regulation is important for physical and socioemotional well-being as well as academic success. Development of self-regulation, including effortful control and executive function (EF), in early childhood is influenced by several aspects of parenting. The current study tested the idea that parents with higher ability and willingness to mentalize their children are more reliable assessors of th

Politiska partier använder sig av olika strategier för att få väljare att rösta på dem. Den tekniska utvecklingen har gjort att användandet av valfilmer inte längre är något som endast används i USA utan även används i Sverige. Denna studie fokuserar på konstruktionen av Sverigedemokraternas och Vänsterpartiets valfilmer inför valet 2018. Syftet är att studera och tolka hur visuella och retoriska Political parties use different strategies to get the voters to vote for them. The technological development has meant that the use of election movies no longer is something only used in The United States but also something used in Sweden. This study focuses on the construction of Sverigedemokraternas and Vänsterpartiets election movies prior to the 2018 election. The purpose of this study is to i

The purpose of the study was to, from a transformative and critical realistic approach, generate knowledge about perspectives of power in psychological treatment. This was examined through interviews with young female psychologists and their thoughts on and how to deal with power in their therapeutic work. Data was collected through nine semi-structured interviews with psychologists based on their

The genus Caldicellulosiruptor and especially Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus are gaining attention because of their potential as biohydrogen producers from agricultural and forestry waste on an industrial scale. Genetic and in turn metabolic engineering can be used to aid in the characterization of C. saccharolyticus. Additionally, it can be used in strain improvement to overcome limiting fa

Personalen är organisationers viktigaste resurs och då chefer syftar till att leda, utveckla och organisera verksamheter blir rekryteringen av dessa individer avgörande för organisationers lönsamhet. För att rekrytera rätt person till rätt tjänst krävs det att arbetet blir gjort på rätt sätt. Felrekryteringar är kostsamma för verksamheterna och för att undvika sådana förespråkas standardiserade re

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka ett eventuellt samband mellan allians och förbättring under de första tre samtalen i psykoterapi. Undersökningen utfördes i ordinarie primärvårdsverksamhet och behandlingen var reguljär psykologbehandling med KBT.
