The thesis examines the economic strategies which two private museums of Meteora, the Hellenic Culture Museum and the Natural History Museum of Meteora and Mushroom Museum implement, so as to grasp the economic strategies that private museums in Greece adopt. Utilizing Varbanova’s (2013) framework which places specific emphasis not only on the open-system theory as an efficient way to comprehend t

Indonesia is in the process of relocating its capital to a newly built city named Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN). The first area to be developed is the central area of IKN (KIKN), which includes the main governmental zone (KIPP) and is located in Penajam Paser Utara (PPU), spanning two primary villages, Sepaku and Pemaluan, which are home to the Indigenous Peoples (IP) of the Balik and Paser communities

In 2024, the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP) published a list of 10 low-value practices in paediatric care. Embedded in the Choosing Wisely framework, this list is a step towards promoting targeted and evidence-based care. However, no single recommendation can change prescription habits and we need to acknowledge that overuse of the available resources has multiple causes. Among them, the ph

BACKGROUND: In Sweden, approximately half of all individuals who die receive municipal care prior to death. Access to high-quality palliative care remains unequal, with known disparities between both care settings and diagnostic groups. Individuals receiving municipal home care are at higher risk of acute hospital admissions and in hospital death than those in long-term care facilities. However, t

The EC provisions on fiscal State aid have since 1997 become an important part of the work against harmful tax competition. The application of the State aid rules to harmful measures is a reversal of the common direction of aid (i.e. leading to preferential tax treatment). This creates several interest-ing legal problems, for example if these rules provide a suitable method to tackle harmful tax c

Fermentation of Ulva spp., a protein-rich green macroalga, offers a sustainable approach for utilising an available resource and developing functional food ingredients. However, its high levels of inorganic matter, polyphenols, and complex polysaccharides such as ulvan pose challenges to microbial metabolism. This study investigated the effects of various pretreatment strategies, including hot wat

Syftet med denna studie var att kvalitativt utforska lärares syn på kunskapsbildning och kommunikation om klimatförändringar med elever i Vietnam, ett land med förhöjd klimatrisk. Med utgångspunkt i Hanoi genomfördes åtta (N = 8) semistrukturerade intervjuer med lärare på temat klimatundervisning. Materialet bearbetades sedan i en tematisk analys med abduktiv metod: delvis datadriven, delvis genomThis study qualitatively explored a sample of teachers' climate change conceptualizations and communication with school students in Vietnam, a country with high susceptibility to major climate change-related impacts. Fieldwork was conducted in Hanoi, where eight (N = 8) teachers were interviewed in a semi-structured format, focusing on the topic of climate change education. The material was ex

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect exacerbates environmental degradation, growing energy demand, and public health risks, especially in densely populated and vulnerable Mediterranean urban communities. This study investigates the spatial heterogeneity of the UHI effect in Barcelona from 2015 to 2023 by integrating multi-source geospatial data and interpretable machine learning techniques. Using Go

The main goal of this thesis is to examine the causal effect of the hybrid war with Ukraine beginning from 2014 on Russian export of services towards its main services importers in Belarus, Kazakhstan, China, Cyprus, Switzerland, Germany, United States of America, United Kingdom, Türkiye in years 2006-2020 with the execeptions of 2010 and 2011 due to data limitations. This is done employing a syth

Student Brand Ambassadorship: The Influence of Identification with the University on Student Advocacy in Higher Education Institutions This study investigates how students’ identification with the university influences their willingness to engage in brand-supporting behaviors, conceptualized as student brand ambassadorship. This study argues for a differentiation between university as organizatio

The JPL rover Perseverance's investigations of Jezero crater's floor reveal that the ultramafic Séítah formation and the overlying mafic Máaz formation are deformed into a broad, low-amplitude structural dome. Mastcam-Z stereo images processed into digital outcrop models, together with RIMFAX ground-penetrating radar profiles, were used to reconstruct the three-dimensional stratal geometry of both

The Sudanese revolution of 2019 was shaped in large part by the contributions of youth to collective action. Many of these youth have since been displaced by the ongoing Sudanese war. This study aims to explore how these youths’ emotion orientations towards political engagement have been affected by experiences of war and displacement. This will be explored by comparing how these youth convey thei

This thesis examines how Poland has understood and articulated deterrence on NATO’s eastern flank in response to Russia’s gradual aggression, beginning with the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and culminating in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Poland’s approach to deterrence is analysed across the dimensions of domestic politics, regional context and NATO cooperation. Using a discourse-or

The Swedish artist Tomas Lundgren’s series The Task of Mourning (2019) consists of nearly-but-not-quite perfect reproductions of photographs from the first half of the twentieth century. Through painting inexact copies of photographic remnants from this time in European history, the series can be seen as a slow contemplation of this historical period. In this article, I discuss theories of mournin

Extreme Value Theory (EVT) is the state-of-the-art method for proactive prediction of accident frequency from traffic interactions on a microscopic scale. The main advantage of using EVT is to predict unobserved critical events based on one or more Surrogate Measures of Safety (SMoS) (single- or multivariate EVT) through a mathematical extrapolation of extreme interactions. Such interactions are q

We use the introduction of covered bonds in Norway in 2007 together with administrative and supervisory data at the bank and loan level to investigate the effect of asset encumbrance, that is, pledging assets as collateral, on the composition of bank balance sheets and bank risk. We show that covered bonds—despite being collateralized with mortgages—lead to a shift in bank lending from mortgages t
