With the growth of cities more issues relating to the environment, economy and health have emerged. The climate in the city affects how the city is structured and how the city space is used. In return the city also has an effect on the climate by modifying the regional climate conditions on a large scale. This has led to an increase in air temperature in the urban areas causing an urban heat islanGrowth of cities has caused the climate in them to change making urban areas warmer than the surrounding rural areas. This phenomenon is called an urban heat island. Mitigation tactics to counter the heating of the urban areas vary from changing the thermal properties of the surface materials to adding vegetation and water bodies to the urban scene. This study aims to investigate the impact green

Brazil is a country founded on migration, and since the Second World War most of that migration has been internal. However, urban overcrowding has changed the nature of migration in this, one of the most urbanized developing countries. Does internal migration in such a context still bring sizeable income gains, and are Brazilian workers right to be moving away from megaolopolises like greater São

Hate speech on social media hardly remains unnoticed. Contents involving hateful messages vary from “kill a Jew day” to “kick a ginger day” and could target anyone irrespective of their status, identity, location and so forth. Even when hate speech is not materialized into a hate-motivated crime, the damage is done – victims are being labeled, marginalised and exposed to negative stereotyping. The

Purpose: While the phenomenon of new product development (NPD) and cycle time in general is sufficiently covered in the literature, a clear picture of the NPD length in startups has not been available so far. Simultaneously, the literature emphasizes the entrepreneurial perception and judgment as major factor for the success of a business, but does not specifically refer to the NPD cycle time.

The EU has a normative character in its foreign policy. While dealing with its relationship with the neighbours, the EU pays attention to exporting its norms. The enlargement policy is evidence of the EU’s normative power. However, from ENP to EaP, the EU seems not so effective in promoting normative changes in the target states. The existing researches lack a deep and comprehensive analysis of th

This paper investigates Dani Rodrik’s argument about premature deindustrialization processes in developing countries and its political repercussions for these countries with a focus on Turkey. Premature deindustrialization is defined as a fall of real MVA and employment shares of manufacturing at levels much lower than the developed countries experienced in the past. The consequences of this pheno

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been the subject of significant public discourse in legislative chambers, the media, business circles, and academia. Putting aside the formal legal terminology of market harmonisation and fundamental rights, the GDPR has been reported by many journalists and the European Commission as a tool that will help individuals within the EU to take con

This thesis immerses into the debate on the demographic shift that, in past years, has been characterized by widely diverse opinions and standpoints. The unpredictable nature of the expected challenge has inspired this qualitative analysis to explore and question the proposed effects of an aging population. Furthermore, this literature review investigates the suggested strategies and means to mana

Undersökning av näthinneceller odlade på ljuskänsliga nanotrådar Människans sinnen bombarderas ständigt med nya intryck. En stor del av dessa förmedlas via vår syn. Ljus kommer in i ögat och absorberas av ljuskänsliga fotopigment som finns i de yttre segmenten av näthinnans fotoreceptorer. Näthinnan är uppbyggd av flera olika skikt och av flera olika celltyper, både nervceller och stödjande gliacWorldwide, millions of people suffer from retinal degenerative diseases leading to cell death of light absorbing photoreceptors. This results in vision impairment and, in many cases, eventually blindness. A possible solution for patients gone legally blind due to retinal degeneration, is the use of retinal implants. The best performing retinal implants of today, regarding vision acuity, still give

Despite the media outcry whenever a full-service carrier announces its plan to unbundle its flight service and charge some of the service components as add-ons, there is an increasing number of full-service carriers around the globe dropped the full bundling approach in exchange for add-on bundling when selling their flight tickets.

The aim of this MSc-project was to investigate whether it is possible to incorporate native cell membrane components from Jurkat T cells into supported lipid bilayers, SLBs, to produce a model membrane system better resembling the native cell membranes in T cells. The procedure of forming native-like SLBs (nSLB) was adapted from an existing protocol and is done through the deposition of hybrid ves

De två Natura-2000 områdena Ravlunda och Revingehed i Skåne, södra Sverige, har genomgått en klimatkänslighetsanalys i denna studie som testade en utvärderingsmetod för relevans att använda inom Länsstyrelsen i Skånes arbete. Analysen gjordes med fokus på ekosystemtjänster identifierad för sanddominerade habitat på de två områdena. Genom användning av en nyligen publicerad report från NaturvårdsveThe two Natura-2000 areas of Ravlunda and Revingehed of Skåne, southern Sweden, have been subject to a climate change vulnerability assessment in this study, which tested an assessment method for relevance for work within the County Administrative Board of Skåne. The analysis was done with focus on ecosystem services found at the sand dominated habitats of the two areas. Using a recently published

Vissa personer skiljer mycket mellan sina känslor, de rapporterar att de känner ilska, frustration, ledsamhet och nedstämdhet, medan andra personer inte skiljer särskilt mycket mellan sina känslor, de rapporterar att de mår bra eller att de mår dåligt. Förmågan att skilja mellan sina känslor kallas emotionell granularitet (EG). Tidigare forskning har kopplat ihop EG med bättre psykisk hälsa och stSome people differentiate a great deal between their emotional experiences, they report experiencing grief, sadness, frustration, anger etc. Other people seem to differentiate between their emotional experiences less, they report feeling good or bad. The ability to differentiate between emotions is called emotional granularity (EG). Previous studies have linked EG to higher psychological well-bein
