During the second half of August and the first part of September 2017, I radiotracked several European nightjars (Caprimulgus europaeus) around the Stensoffa area in Southern Sweden. Several locations were taken for each bird each night, including diurnal roost and nocturnal points composed by flying and resting behaviours. Being a long-distance migrator already on the way south during autumn migr

Göta älv är Sveriges största vattendrag som sträcker sig från Vänern ner till Kungälv där bifurkationen delar den i Nordre älv och Göta älv (Göteborgsgrenen). Vattendraget är ett riksintresse och används bland annat för fiske, rekreation, som recipient och framförallt råvattentäkt för många kringliggande vattenverk som försörjer cirka 700 000 invånare. Kungälv kommun bygger och planerar inför ettGöta älv is the largest river in Sweden, which runs from the Lake Vänern into Kattegatt. The river is of national interest and is used as a drinking water supply for 700 000 inhabitants, for fishing, recreation and as a recipient for treated wastewater. The water quality is affected by runoff waters, precipitation, waste water and accidental spills from industry and vessels. Kungälv County is in

Syftet med denna studien är att bidra med kunskap om hur medarbetarna ser på sin användning av LinkedIn i förhållande till sin organisation. För att uppnå detta krävs en djupare förståelse för medarbetares användning och upplevelse av LinkedIn. Tidigare studier som undersöker LinkedIn har främst fokuserat på hur rekryterare kan använda plattformen och inte hur enskilda medarbetare använder plattfoThe purpose of this study is to contribute with knowledge about how employees perceive their LinkedIn usage in relation to their organization. To increase the awareness of how organizations can work strategically with LinkedIn the link between organizations and employees has been studied. Other studies examining LinkedIn have mostly had a recruiter perspective or have not considered users as emplo

Snabba förändringar i landskapet kan orsaka stora problem för olika ekosystemtjänster, speciellt när förändringarna sker i utsatta landskap. En sådan förändring har skett i Sverige de senaste hundra åren då skog har planterats på övergivna hagar, eller i vissa fall, även planterats på åkermark. Denna förändring beror på minskningen av djur ute på landsbygden, samt urbaniseringen som sker över helaFast land use changes in the landscape can cause plenty of problems related to ecosystem services, especially when the changes concern sensitive land use types. This type of change has happened in Sweden during the last hundreds of years, where forests have been planted on abandoned pasture lands, as well as on crop lands. This thesis looks at the afforestation in Sweden and some of the possible

Sociala medier tar en allt större plats i vår vardag. Instagram är en av de sociala medier som vanligast i Sverige och bland gymnasieelever är antalet användare stort. Syftet med denna studien var därför att undersöka hur användningen av Instagram påverkade gymnasieelevers självbild. Metoden som valdes till denna studien var kvalitativa intervjuer med 10 gymnasieelever från två kommuner i Skåne. F

This study has aimed to problematize how luxury retail brands transfer luxury experience from offline to online and to contribute with knowledge on how they visually communicate in two different communication mediums. This study has been based on two research areas within luxury retail brands, visual merchandising and online visual merchandising. Further, as a result of the limited research on onl

I den moderna staden suddas gränsen mellan byggnad och gata ut. De samtida shoppingpalatsen, köpcentrumet, är en byggnadstyp som mer än andra löser upp denna gräns när de skapar sina egna gatumiljöer. Vad är dessa nya gator för något? Hur skiljer de sig från andra gator i staden? När gatan fortsätter in i byggnaden, följer rätten till staden med? Det här projektet undersöker köpcentrumet som en In the modern city the border between building and street is increasingly blurred. The urban shopping mall is a building typology that like few other dissolves this border by creating their own interior streetscapes. But what are these streets, what define them and how do they differ from other parts of the urban environment? When the city continues into the building, does the right to the city fo

The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is involved in many cellular pathways. The HER2 locus is amplified in 12-21% of all breast cancers and is associated with poor prognosis. The introns of HER2 contain two non-coding RNAs: a microRNA (miRNA) named mir-4728 and a box C/D snoRNA-like molecule thus far named snoID_0714. In this study, a list of targe

The present study aimed at investigating the recent phenomenon termed Fear of missing out (FOMO), which builds on a feeling of constantly having to be connected to what other people are doing on social media in order to not miss out. The purpose of this study was to see if a link between FOMO and social media addiction is present and if Swedish university students’ well-being and academic performa

The city of Chennai evolved around the river, Cooum. The river supports irrigation to agricultural fields in the north and supplies water to the city of Chennai. It also acts as a major flood carrier for the city. Before the 1960s, the river was clean and used for activities such as bathing, boating and fishing. During the colonial rule, the city was initially planned to sustain a much lesser popu

When you first step ashore the island of Ven, in Öresund right between Sweden and Denmark, you have two options. Either you go straight ahead, towards the bike rental, or you turn to your right and start walking along the shore. If you do so, you will soon start to find colourful pebbles on the ground along the waterline. Some are round and soft to the touch, others are rough and edgy, and they ar

This thesis aims to unpack Danish academic knowledge production at the individual, institutional, societal, and systemic levels related to Islamophobia in Denmark. It raises central questions on the role of reflexivity in academic writing, employed epistemic frameworks, and autonomy of Danish academic knowledge production from law, politics, and media. Drawing on a theoretical framework around Is

There is always talk of climate change in the future, but climate change is already present in all its facets. Intense droughts, water scarcity, severe fires, rising sea levels, floods, melting polar ice, catastrophic storms, and the decline of biodiversity are already visible. The city of Munich is no exception, as problems like heat, drought, and heavy rain increasingly have to be dealt with. We

This thesis explores how ecological themes are represented through local and global perspectives in Juliana Spahr’s ecopoetry, Mikael Kristersson’s Ljusår (2008), and Jiuliang Wang’s documentary Plastic China (2016). By applying ecocritical theory with a focus on glocalization and interconnectedness, the study examines how local environments become metaphors for global ecological crises. Spahr’s

Nova är ett köpcentrum med många besökare som ligger i västra Lund. I denna rapport har brandskyddet med avseende på personsäkerhet vid utrymning undersökts. Baserat på statistik och besök på plats togs nio olika brandscenarier fram och utifrån dessa valdes följande tre med störst risk ut för vidare analys genom att en grovriskanalys genomfördes: • Scenario A – Brand i klädbutik • Scenario B – Br

One of the main qualities of life in Icelandic society is the earth’s heat that has been harnessed and fed into the homes of the citizens. The swimming pool is the clearest and most visible manifestation of these qualities of life. Bathhouses are a regular part of many people’s daily lives, and human life in the pools is a fascinating part of Icelandic society. Architecture plays a key role there,

Matsvinn är ett stort samhällsproblem. Om förpackningen inte håller den nivå av kvalitet som krävs så slängs den under produktionen, tillsammans med det livsmedel den skulle skydda. Vissa förpackningar har korkar, som hjälper till att återsluta förpackningen. Om plasten i korken har fel egenskaper uppstår det ibland problem i produktionen. Detta projekt har tagit fram två sätt att undersöka plaste
