It was based on the research question: How do local individuals experience the Makhoul Dam’s impact on their home environments including the surrounding archaeological sites? And supported by the two operational questi

Bakgrund: Byggsektorn står för en väsentlig del av Sveriges växthusgasutsläpp, motsvarande 21% enligt Boverket. För att nå Sveriges klimatmål med minst 85% minskning av nettoutsläppen till 2045 krävs hållbara byggnader och installationsdesign, särskilt inom ventilation och komfortkyla. Livscykelanalys (LCA) är en metod som stödjer bedömningen av produkters miljöpåverkan och leder byggbranschen motBackground: The building industry is responsible for a big part of Sweden's greenhouse gas emissions, around 21% according to Boverket. To meet Sweden's climate goals, which aim for at least an 85% reduction in emissions by 2045, we need environmentally friendly construction methods, especially in ventilation and cooling. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a way to assess how products impact the

In Bangladesh, household work is associated with women. Men’s participation in household tasks is considered a threat to masculinity. However when Bangladeshi men migrate to a gender equal country their involvement in household work becomes part of their daily routine. This thesis aimed to shed light on the situational dynamics of masculinity of Bangladeshi men regarding performing household work

Objective and Methods: This thesis investigates the relationship between insecure attachment (anxiety and avoidance), rumination, and overgeneralized episodic memory retrieval in nonclinical adults, addressing the potential moderating role of rumination in the attachment- overgeneralization link. A community sample of 41 Swedish-speaking women participated in a narrative memory task involving atta

Dagens arbetsplats förändras konstant bland annat genom anställdas nytänkande och nyfikenhet. Arbetsmiljöer där anställda känner sig motiverade, en organisation som anställda identifierar sig med och inte minst en arbetsplats där anställda känner sig respekterade och hörda är nyckelfaktorer bakom en organisations framgång. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan oThe contemporary workplace undergoes constant transformations, driven in part by employees' innovation and curiosity. Work environments where employees feel motivated, an organization that employees identify with, and notably, a workplace where employees feel respected and heard are key factors behind an organization's success. The purpose of this essay is to investigate whether there is a

In this study have I looked at the experience of people who do not feel included nor welcome in non-governmental organizations in Malmö who works towards a more democratic society. I have done this through analyzing interviews with these people as well as two other organizations through my

Denna uppsats är skriven med syftet att undersöka hur litteraturkritiker i praktiken bedömer litterärt värde. För att svara på detta användes tre frågeställningar: huruvida litteraturkritiker använder sig av värdekriterier i sin bedömning, hur de i så fall formuleras och ifall dessa kriterier är gemensamma för flera litteraturkritiker. För att besvara frågeställningarna gjordes semistrukturerade i

Mikrobers snabba värmeanpassning Mikroorganismer i jorden reglerar kolcykeln genom att binda kol när de växer, samtidigt som de frigör kol under andra mikrobiella processer. Mikrobers aktivitet regleras till stor del av temperatur och ett föränderligt klimat kan mikrobers aktivitet påverkas. Tidigare studier har funnit att mikrobiella samhällen snabbt anpassar sig till högre temperaturer, samtidiSoil microorganisms sequester carbon through growth and release it into the atmosphere through respiration. Climate change predictions suggest that high latitude ecosystems will be particularly affected by rising temperatures, and temperature is one of the main environmental factors regulating microbial activity in soils. Thus, understanding how microbial activity will be affected in temperate eco

Från en cell till hel individ, protoplast regenerering. Växtförädling för att öka avkastningen av grödor har skett under lång tid. Numera används molekylära metoder för att påskynda processen av selektionen av gynnsamma egenskaper, så som resistans mot sjukdomar eller ohyra. Geneditering kan användas för att validera nya gener i tidigare framgångsrika kultivarer och möjligheten att regenerera en Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) is a high value crop, grown mostly in temperate climate and is the source of 30% of the world’s sugar production. There is a high economic incentive to breed for better yielding crops, e.g genetic resistance against diseases. To investigate the effect of new genes in cultivar lines, genetically modified organisms (GMO) can be used but not commercially sold, according to

The introduction of the “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism” (CBAM) as part of the European Union Fit for 55 and Green Deal package, has evoked much political and academic debates. So far, these have mostly focused on its effectiveness in leveling the playing field for European industries and reducing the risk of carbon leakage. We contribute to this debate by analyzing the potential effects of a

Neurons are the working force in each vertebrate’s nervous system. These small cells have the important task of transferring information in the form of electrical charges called action potentials. Neurons make it possible for us to sense touch, process our environment, and store memory. To conduct studies on the brain outside of the body, one can culture neural cells in the lab. However, to accura

Freshwater mussels play a crucial role as ecosystem engineers, contributing to various ecological functions, including nutrient recycling, biofiltration, and habitat modification. Both live mussels and their discarded shells also play integral roles in providing and enhancing habitats for other organisms by furnishing physical structure, stabilising sediments, and promoting bioturbation. This stud

Research on Anne Brontë’s novels, Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, shows that she drew inspiration from various literary sources. Some reviewers and scholars have detected an affinity between Brontë’s and Jane Austen’s works but have not explored it in depth. I therefore close read Brontë’s novels and compare them to Austen’s, using Genette’s theory of transtextuality. Firstly, I discer

In 2023 an operator theoretic approach to the Prime Number Theorem was introduced by Olsen. In this thesis this approach is examined and applied to give a new, operator theoretic, proof of a different version of the Prime Number Theorem and of the Prime Number Theorem for arithmetic progressions. This approach is then expanded and rearranged to focus on the approximation error in the Prime Number

In recent years, the field of generating synthetic images from novel view points has seen some major improvements. Most importantly with the publication of Neural Radiance Fields allowing for extremely detailed and accurate 3D novel views. Usage of LiDAR products to collect actual depth data has also seen an increase as it is immensely useful for achieving high resolution 3D mapping of a space. Ho

This bachelor thesis is a delimitation criticism of part of the Eden Narrative, specifically Gen 2:18–3:21. The question explored is whether or not it is accurate to call Gen 2:23 and 3:14–19 poetic insertions in an otherwise prose text. It is argued that no, they cannot reasonably be argued as poetic exceptions – the text is poetic throughout. A recurring stylistic pattern tying large narrative u

De svenska kontorsmarknaderna i Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö har sett ökade vakansgrader under de senaste åren. En viktig faktor bakom detta är anställdas preferenser efter Covid-19-pandemin. Även om närvaron på kontoren har börjat öka igen, har utnyttjandegraden sjunkit i Sverige, och hyresgäster prioriterar nu sin hyresportfölj och ytoptimering för att spara kostnader. Vakans i kontorsbyggnaderThe Swedish office markets especially in the three major cities Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö have experienced increased vacancy rates in recent years. One key factor behind this is employees' preferences post the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite a gradual return to offices, the utilization rate has decreased in Sweden, prompting tenants to prioritize their lease portfolios and space optimization
