“Amphawa” the district in Samutsongkram province where is plentiful of natural resources, local wisdoms and unique fascination of waterside living lifestyle, the area was trading and transportation hub of lower central and western part included of Thailand. Amphawa is widely well-known and people are able to define how the area was. Nowadays, technology and innovation magically shrink the world in
Inadequate water infrastructural development and high costs of water are few of the many challenges that affect water access in Kibera. Consequently, many alternatives to piped water grew out of necessity to meet the needs of residents. The aim of this thesis is to examine the conditions that have led to poor water provision in Kibera and how transitions to improved water access can be achieved by
Studiens syfte är att analysera och förstå hur överlevande ungdomar från skolskjutningen i Parkland, Florida, 14 februari 2018, använder strategisk kommunikation i sin aktivism i försök att förändra samhälleliga strukturer kring den amerikanska vapenlagstiftningen. Ungdomarna startade rörelsen ”Never Again” vars kommunikativa strategier och retoriska medel studeras under tidsperioden 14/2 – 24/2 2The aim of this study is to analyze and understand how young victims from the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, February 14, 2018, use strategic communication in an attempt to change social structures regarding American gun laws. The young victims started the movement Never Again, whose communicative strategies and rhetorical tools during the time period 14/2 – 24/2 2018 will be studied in thi

Purpose: investigate in which ways sustainable development in Swedish schools is constructed as a wicked problem. Research Question: How is sustainable development constructed as a wicked problem in Swedish educational contexts? Methodology: A qualitative study approach was implemented where 20 semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. The data analysis followed the process of sort
Identifying key molecular pathways and genes involved in the response to urban pollutants is an important step in furthering our understanding of the impact of urbanisation on wildlife. The expansion of urban habitats and the associated human-introduced environmental changes are considered a global threat to the health and persistence of humans and wildlife. The present study experimentally invest
Background: Stroke is a leading cause of acquired disability in adults worldwide, and the burden of stroke is projected to increase. Current long-term stroke outcome data including functional status, activity, and participation limitations as well as information on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are vital for future rehabilitation and resource planning of stroke survivors. Methods: First-e
The temporal aspect of groundwater vulnerability to contaminants such as nitrate is often overlooked, assuming vulnerability has a static nature. This study bridges this gap by employing machine learning with Detecting Breakpoints and Estimating Segments in Trend (DBEST) algorithm to reveal the underlying relationship between nitrate, water table, vegetation cover, and precipitation time series, t
BACKGROUND: Child stunting is a significant challenge for most districts in Rwanda and much of sub-Saharan Africa and persists despite multisectoral efforts. There is a notable lack of population-based studies examining the correlation between violence against women and child stunting in Rwanda.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the association between Rwandan women's exposure to intimate partner
Background: In experimental studies, several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have shown endocrine disrupting properties, but very few epidemiological studies have examined their impact on pubertal development and results have been heterogenous. Objective: To explore if maternal PAH exposure during pregnancy was associated with the offspring's timing of pubertal onset. Methods: We studied 5
Background: Few neuroimaging studies have investigated structural brain differences associated with variations in pain distribution. Objective: To explore structural differences of the brain in fibromyalgia (FM), temporomandibular disorder pain (TMD) and healthy pain-free controls (CON) using structural and diffusion MRI. Methods: A case–control exploratory study with three study groups with diffe
Objective: To examine cardiovascular risk factors in 40-year-old participants in the health screening program targeted health dialogues (THDs). Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: 99 Swedish healthcare centers. Intervention: Metabolic risk factors and health behaviors were assessed. THDs were provided. Subjects: 1831 (62.3%) THD participants that consented to take part in the research project.
Anthropogenic consumption of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) has pushed their respective planetary boundaries beyond a safe operating space causing environmental problems, and simultaneously, the depletion of finite mineral P resources is of growing concern. Previous research has found that marine biomass such as kelp, reed and mussels have a high potential for taking up N and P, which could poten
Background: Despite known benefits of physical activity in reducing breast cancer risk, its impact on mammographic characteristics remain unclear and understudied. This study aimed to investigate associations between pre-diagnostic physical activity and mammographic features at breast cancer diagnosis, specifically mammographic breast density (MBD) and mammographic tumor appearance (MA), as well a
Consumer brands increasingly enter co-branding collaborations with popular streaming series, seeking to transfer cultural meanings and pre-existing emotional attachments directly onto their brand and products. This study addresses a significant research gap by examining co-branding with streaming series from a personal care brand perspective, asking which factors influence consumer purchase intent
Incretins such as glucagon-like-peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) play crucial roles in postprandial glucose management. Glucagon-like-peptide 1 and GIP stimulate insulin release in conjunction with meals and are responsible for up to 75% of the insulin secretion. Incretins are therefore very important for maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. Dairy foo
AIMS: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of non-invasive pressure-volume (PV) loop variables by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for determining development of adverse remodelling 3 months after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).METHODS AND RESULTS: In total, 181 STEMI patients examined with CMR during the index admi
