Climate change is a global threat to human and animals’ well-being on Earth. The threat of climate change has been known for over 30 years and it is now a fact that humans are the main contributing factor to it. Despite this, in 2022 it is no longer an abstract phenomenon, but our reality. One of the reasons why so little has been done to save the environment is people’s lack of or insufficient kn
I Hanöbukten utanför Haväng i sydöstra Skåne finns välbevarade undervattenslämningar från ett mesolitiskt landskap med rester av träd och sediment avsatta i å- och lagunmiljö. Arkeologiska fynd av bland annat stationära fiskeredskap och en hackyxa av horn har gjorts. Landskapet formades under lågvattenperioderna under Yoldiahavet (11 700-10 800 cal BP) och Littorinahavets första fas (9800-8500 calIn the Hanö bay off the coast at Haväng in SE Scania, southern Sweden, a submerged and well-preserved Mesolithic landscape is found, including remains of trees, river and lagoon sediments, and archaeological artefacts such as an antler pick axe and stationary fishing constructions. The landscape was formed during the Yoldia Sea (11,700-10,800 cal BP) and Initial Littorina Sea (9800-8500) low-water
First measurements of the W -> lv and Z/gamma* -> ll (l = e; mu) production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV are presented using data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The results are based on 2250 W -> lv and 179 Z/gamma* -> ll candidate events selected from a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 320 nb(-1). The measured total
We investigated insulin action (insulin sensitivity index, ISI) and insulin secretion (oral disposition indices, DIo) and studied metabolic, demographic and lifestyle-related risk factors for type 2 diabetes and insulin action, in the largest non-European immigrant group to Sweden, immigrants from Iraq and native Swedes.
We present a study of spectral diagnostics available from optical spectra with R = 17 000 obtained with the VLT/Giraffe HR15n setup, using observations from the Gaia-ESO Survey, on the gamma Vel young cluster, with the purpose of classifying these stars and finding their fundamental parameters. We define several spectroscopic indices, sampling the amplitude of TiO bands, the H alpha line core and
Abstract: The zooplankton community of The Area of Multiple Use Hawaii (AUMH), South Pacific Coast of Guatemala mangrove channel ecosystem was studied in the dry season between February and March 2011. Zooplankton samples were taken during two lunar cycles, four tidal cycles (flood, high water (HW), ebb, low water (LW)), at four different sites. For each sampling occasion, salinity, pH, dissolved
Anne Shirley, the girl and young woman made famous around the world by L. M. Montgomery in the early twentieth century, has been a companion and role model for countless young women. In this essay, my aim is to analyze the first three books about Anne, Anne of Green Gables (1908), Anne of Avonlea (1909) and Anne of the Island (1915), to see in what way it can be said that Montgomery wrote these no
Donated food is often fully edible, but improper handling can pose risks to food safety. The aim of this study is to investigate volunteers' knowledge of food safety within organizations that handle donated food and to identify areas for improvement without increasing the administrative burden. A qualitative method was used to gain a deeper understanding of volunteers' experiences and perc
Due to rapid urbanization and industrialization, cities have been seen as one of the main contributors to climate change and its negative impacts in recent decades. Many of the Nordic countries have experienced an increased number of torrential rains and floods in recent years, resulting in both property and environmental damage as well as possible negative effects on the well-being of citizens. E
The primary objective of this study is to explore the perceptions of three inclusive marketing strategies—racial representation, AI-driven personalization, and unfiltered beauty—on consumer perceptions of brand authenticity and their connections to long-term brand loyalty in the makeup sector. The study aims to gain insight into how the combined application of these strategies shapes the perceived
There is scientific consensus today on the importance of local climate work. Many studies have investigated the mechanisms behind effective climate work and what makes some cities and large municipalities the frontrunners in driving progressive climate agendas. While this area of local climate work is well researched there is little research about how climate work looks like in small (non-rural) m
The rule of law is a cornerstone of modern constitutional democracies, not merely as a safeguard against tyranny and arbitrariness, but as a principle inherently connected to human rights, legal certainty, and democratic accountability. Within the European Union, recent years have witnessed growing tensions between the expansion of regulatory frameworks and the preservation of individual guarantee
Given the need to mitigate adverse impacts of fossil fuel phase-outs, this thesis investigates whetherjust energy transitions lead to inclusive and place-based outcomes, focusing on the Just EnergyTransition (JET) in South Africa. Using a political economy and procedural justice lens, and drawing oninterviews with key stakeholders, the study explores the inclusivity of decision-making processes in
Air pollution is a global problem that causes major impacts on health and the environment. To protect the environment and health, the European Union has been implementing revised poli-cies on air quality. The revised Ambient Air Quality Directive introduces stricter air quality standards. The aim of this study is to identify Swedish municipalities where the new and exist-ing air quality standards
This thesis examines the interpretation of fundamental breach under Article 25 of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, focusing on judicial divergences between Germany and France in the context of supply-chain disruptions occurring between 2019 and 2025. Article 25 establishes substantial deprivation of contractual expectations as the gateway to avoidance
This thesis examines how audience responses to the trans character Player 120 in Squid Game Season 2 are constructed within mainstream celebratory online spaces in a Mexican context. Following the release of the series, the character generated an unusually positive reaction across social media platforms, where she was widely praised and described as an example of “good” inclusion. In a context whe
Low- and middle-income countries are expanding health insurance to enhance financial protection. However, there is scarcity of evidence on the stakeholder perceptions towards health insurance. This study explores stakeholders' perceptions towards the implementation of the National Health Insurance Scheme in Zambia. This qualitative study is based on 21 in-depth interviews with key stakeholders inv
Mushroom-forming fungi (Agaricomycetes) employ enzymatic and nonenzymatic cellulose degradation mechanisms, the latter presumably relying on Fenton-generated radicals. The effects of the two mechanisms on the cellulose microfibrils structure remain poorly understood. We examined cellulose degradation caused by litter decomposers and wood decomposers, including brown-rot and white-rot fungi a
Deciphering the metamorphic evolution of the roots of mountain belts is essential for understanding deep tectonic processes involved in mountain building. The Sveconorwegian orogen in southwestern Scandinavia, formed during the Rodinia assembly in the transition between the Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic Eras, has been exhumed and provides access to interior deep structural levels of the ancie
Airborne wear particles originating from disc brakes are one important contributor to the concentration of airborne particles in urban environments. It is therefore of interest to improve the knowledge of these particles. The purpose of this article is to investigate the concentration and size distribution of the airborne wear particles generated from the contact between a low-metallic pad materia
