Blue carbon, defined as carbon fixed by marine plants, has gained attention as a climate change mitigation strategy. Coastal ecosystems play an important role in blue carbon storage due to their high carbon burial rates. Although the dynamics of the partial pressure of CO2 in seawater (pCO2) are closely related to blue carbon processes, studies investigating pCO2 variability in coastal areas remai
Syftet med arbetet har varit att, med hjälp av bayesiansk sannolikhetsteori som bevisvärderingsmetod, kritiskt analysera svenska människohandelsmål. Detta har gjorts för att utröna om det förekommer tecken på bristande bevisvärdering från domstolarna som bidrar till att rekvisit ej anses styrkta i dessa mål där någon blir friad, och i utsträckning bidragit till bevisproblematik kring brottet. SyftThe purpose of this paper has been to critically analyze Swedish court cases of human trafficking where the accused has been acquitted of such a criminal act. The critical analysis has been executed with the aid of Bayesian probability theory as an evidence evaluation method. This has been done to determine whether there are signs of flawed evidence evaluation from the court itself which has contr
Erasmus+ is a European Union (EU) grant programme aimed at education, youth and sport. The programme funds projects for 5€ billion per year, impacting around 84 000 organisations. Erasmus+ is an example of how the EU implements sustainability policy through soft governance tools. Through an analysis of sustainability criteria in Erasmus+, this thesis explores how EU policy in grant programmes impa
This thesis is a qualitative case study of Venezuelan migrants living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This study examines how migrants experience the four main barriers to socio economic integration – labour market exclusion, housing insecurity, institutional hurdles and everyday discrimination as well as the implications of these barriers. The theoretical framework of this thesis combines intersectio
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka en grupp unga vuxnas attityder till cannabis. Att undersöka och förstå attityder till cannabis är värdefullt för att effektivisera strategier att bemöta olika problem menar experter. Studien ämnar undersöka deltagarnas uppfattning om cannabis, deltagarnas uppfattning om olika lagstiftningars betydelse i relation till cannabis samt deltagarnas uppfattning om
This study aims to investigate how social media trends affect international trade through a study on the relationship between the global matcha tea trend and Japanese green tea exports. The study is performed in two steps, due to limitations in social media data access. Firstly, a time-series regression is used to analyse the relationship between global TikTok views and Google search intensity for
Music criticism has grown to become an important part of the modern cultural landscape, functioning as a mediating link between artistic expression and the audience. By evaluating music, journalists are in a position of symbolic power. Reviews are based on a subjective perspective but gain legitimacy through social and cultural frameworks. This raises a critical question: what happens when the soc
This thesis examines Swedish national role conceptions and the extent of role contestation in the Swedish Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs (Utrikesutskottet) in the context of Sweden’s recent changes in security and foreign policy. Drawing on role theory, particularly the concepts of national role conception and domestic role contestation, the study investigates (1) which national self-im
The difference between the English North and South has long been a defining feature within the political and economical debate of the United Kingdom. Research has traditionally been done either explaining the regional inequalities of the region or the examination of the difference in material indicators such as income and employment. This thesis explores the role of the media and how the media dis
This review paper provides a literature review of predictive methods and cybersecurity frameworks essential to safeguard Industry 4.0 manufacturing systems against cyber threats. The review focuses on two key areas: the prediction method and the data used for this prediction. These areas are critical for anticipating cyber threats and implementing effective countermeasures. They underscore the nee
Iran’s extraterritorial violence constitutes a structural element of state policy, implemented through a coordinated system of intelligence services, diplomatic platforms, proxy militias, and criminal intermediaries. Rooted in revolutionary doctrine and operationalized by institutions such as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its external arm, the Quds Force, this apparatus has enab
The ALICE Collaboration presents a new suite of jet substructure measurements in Pb–Pb and pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN=5.02 [Figure presented]. These measurements provide access to the internal structure of jets via the momentum and angle of their constituents, probing how the quark–gluon plasma modifies jets, an effect known as jet quenching. Jet grooming additio
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm abnormality and is a leading cause of heart failure and stroke. This large-scale meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies increased the power to detect single-nucleotide variant associations and found more than 350 AF-associated genetic loci. We identified candidate genes related to muscle contractility, cardiac muscle development an
