Recent generations of Japanese youth face a diminished and precarious labour market and are pushed to the anxious margins of the society. Many are feeling less secure about the future and this precarisation is disproportionately affecting women. The social and economic precariousness is being intensified by the Covid-19 pandemic and this change of circumstances affect women to a larger extent. The

Soft power and public diplomacy compose the new reality shaping the dynamics of contemporary international relations. Strategic narratives represent an essential means for political actors to extend their influence, gain the public opinion’s support for their actions and fulfill their foreign policy goals. The thesis focused on the Chinese Party state’s construction of strategic narratives targete

Nuvarande Jägersro trav- och galoppbana i sydöstra Malmö ska bytas ut mot bostäder. Skånska Travsällskapet planerar bygga nya Jägersro Hästcenter på sin privata mark precis bredvid. De önskar att hästcentret blir Europas ledande med fokus på hållbarhet. I juli 2024 planeras den första byggnaden invigas, den avsedd för publik, som antas tecknas till ett effektabonnemang. Det förutspås att lokal eThe current Jägersro horse racetrack in southeast Malmö will be replaced with apartments. Alongside this area Skånska Travsällskapet plans to build a new Jägersro Horse Center on their private land. They wish the center to be Europe's most prominent with a focus on sustainability. In July 2024, the first building is planned to be inaugurated, which is assumed to be subscribed for a power ratin

Vindar och moln har stor betydelse för jorden. Vindar är viktiga genom deras påverkan på dagens och framtida väder (och indirekt på prognoser), eftersom de kan transportera varm eller kall luft, fuktig eller torr luft, mellan olika områden och därmed bidra till att väderförhållandena rubbas så fort vindriktningen ändras. Moln är viktiga genom deras påverkan på jordens strålningsbalans. Således är In this study, about two years of data from Östergarnsholm in the Baltic Sea are used to analyse offshore low-level clouds (LLCs) influenced by low-level jets (LLJs) in the marine atmospheric boundary layer. The LLJs are passages of strong horizontal winds near the surface and are measured using a Doppler LiDAR, which provides information about the wind speed and wind direction up to 300 meters. I

Genom att använda sig av dendrokronologi kan man skapa högupplösta klimatarkiv från subfossila trädrester. Från torvtäkten Ope-Brynjeflon i Jämtland har 178 holocena prover av tall (Pinus sylvestris) hämtats för att användas i klimatrekonstruktioner. Syftet med den här studien är att fortsätta det redan påbörjade arbetet med att anlysera proverna för att (1) ta reda på över hur lång tid och vilketBy using dendrochronology, it is possible to create climate archives with high resolution from subfossil remains of trees. 178 samples of pine (Pinus sylvestris) have been collected from the peat-extraction site OpeBrynjeflon in Jämtland, Sweden, in order to be used in climate reconstructions. The aim of this project is to continue this work and analyse these samples in order to (1) find out over

Members of the general public assess risks of climate change differently than experts. Increasing the perceived risk through communication of climate change has been debated as a viable strategy to promote more sustainable behavior. This thesis exposes 412 subjects to four different messages regarding varying the likelihood and severity of averse consequences of global warming. Analysis of a two

Income disparities and planetary boundaries present worldwide threats to social stability and security. An extensive body of literature studies the determinants of income inequality. Generally, economic growth and environmental sustainability are found to have moderating effects on income inequality. Adjusted net savings (ANS) is a composite indicator measuring sustainable development assessin

Situated in Vietnam’s transitional vacuum in its urban cores Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, this study is rooted in the aim to understand the emerging variants of coworking spaces currently proliferating across the country. This aim is realized by conducting a multiple case study and semi-structured interviews with nine founders, community managers and users of coworking spaces from heterogeneous bac

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake followed by a 15-meter tsunami and a nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi changed the normal course of events in Japan and far beyond it. Among other consequences, the events triggered a sudden increase in domestic and international media coverage. Approaching the theory of media framing, this thesis focused on the evolution of the nuclear energy disc

This thesis outlines an exploratory study which aimed at understanding the influencing factors of parenting practices change among three generations. The theoretical position of this research draws on the work of pragmatism of Bourdieu (1986) who proposed the cultural capital as well as Laraeu (2021), who brought forward the concerted cultivation and natural growth parenting practice methods. Base

Rörelsen “Frihet Sverige” har under 2020 och 2021 anordnat demonstrationer mot pandemilagstiftningen för att försöka påverka allmänhetens syn på covid-19. I en Facebookgrupp med samma namn diskuterar rörelsens anhängare frågor om covid-19 och relaterade ämnen som vaccin och eventuella bakomliggande konspirationer. Denna uppsats undersöker hur Frihet Sverige skapar mening kring olika agendor inom F

Hållbar utveckling är ett mål för samtliga branscher men även för landet och världen. Byggnationen av infrastruktur och bostäder står i dagsläget för omkring 40% av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser, vilket innebär att stora förändringar krävs för att nå de uppsatta klimatmålen till år 2045, alltså att Sverige inte skall ha några nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser. Asfalt består till majoriteten Sustainable development is an important goal for industries, both nationally and globally. The construction of infrastructure and housing currently accounts for about 40% of Sweden's total greenhouse gas emissions, which means that major changes are required to achieve the set climate goals by 2045, i.e., that Sweden will have no net greenhouse gas emissions. Asphalt consists for the most part

This study investigates the inner workings of the juridical field when faced with specialized knowledge from professionals, specifically from dog handlers. As such, the study wishes to explore how the Swedish courts understands the law’s division of information providers into witnesses and experts, how information challenges are solved and if other factors may influence how courts handle and perce

Purpose: In preparation of several future missions with the objective to research the large icy moons of the Solar System, it is necessary to have a cohesive understanding of the conditions that might lead to the formation of liquid oceans in these moons. The purpose of this work is to create a numerical model for simulating the temperature evolution of the cores of large icy moons. Method: AssumiIn the early 17th century when Galileo Galilei first decided to point a telescope at Jupiter, he noticed four faint objects placed around it on the same line. As he spent more and more nights viewing them he realised that instead of moving in the same direction as Jupiter these four objects in fact orbited the planet itself. This proved that it is possible for another body to be the centre of grav

Social innovation has the potential to tackle many challenges humanity is facing on a global and national level. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how social innovation emerge and is disseminated. In this development social innovation anchor in niches and prevailing sociotechnical regimes and eventually form durable linkages. This study contributes insights into the anchoring process of soc

Consumers evaluate each step of their journey, which influences consumer’s expectations for further experiences and future intentions. Accordingly, past experiences are stored in consumers’ memory but each part of the journey will not be remembered. What drives further behaviours and intentions are the events of the experience that are considered more emotional and atypical, also called peaks. The
