Climate change threatens plant persistence due to geographic shifts in climatic conditions. Across Sweden’s Western Taiga, these changes pose risks to vascular plant species and threaten the effectiveness of protected area management. This thesis investigated how climate change affects the distribution of 12 vascular plant species using species distribution models, and reviewed to what extent Swed
Det här examensarbetet bygger på intervjuer med gymnasieelever från södra Sverige och ger ett elevperspektiv på diskussioner om och tolkningar av begreppen konstnärligt uttryck, personligt uttryck och musikaliskt uttryck, som alla förekommer i de svenska läroplanerna, Gy11 och Gy25. Informanternas svar jämförs med resultat från intervjustudier med musiklärare och med hur begreppen används i läroplThis study is based on interviews with students from an upper secondary school in southern Sweden and gives a student perspective on discussions and interpretations regarding artistic, personal and musical expression. The answers from the informants are compared with answers from music teachers in previous studies and with how the expressions are used in the swedish curriculum. The research questi
This thesis examines how archival educators perceive their professional role and practice. The thesis focuses on three main themes: education, challenges and development. The question of whether the education and competence of the archival educators has an impact on the archival educational practice, or the professional status of the professional role is addressed, as well as what aspects or situa
Infrastructures for family support is a subject that has been widely discussed in Sweden, both within healthcare and politics. However, it is not a concept that is often explored within the field of information studies, despite the many practical manifestations of such support that exist in public libraries today. This essay employs qualitative methods in the exploration of family supporting infra
Cykeln är ett enkelt och effektivt transportsätt med flera trafiktekniska, miljömässiga och sociala fördelar. Trots det kan cykelinfrastrukturen i många fall vara eftersatt och bortprioriterad. De flesta dödsolyckor i cykeltrafiken sker vid kollision med motorfordon vilket gör interaktionen med motorfordon intressant. Främst kan cykelinfrastruktur i korsningar utformas integrerat där cyklister förThe bicycle is an efficient mode of transport that is often deprioritized. The intersection, where many casualties occur, can be designed either integrated or separated. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the safety effects of these designs, the motives behind them and to decide if the distinction between them is relevant by doing a literature review as well as an interview review. It is har
CERN operates complex underground facilities, with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) posing unique fire detection challenges due to ionising radiation, long tunnel spans, and variable ventilation. To address the limitations of aspirating smoke detectors in both current and future CERN facilities, Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) systems using radiation-resistant optical fibers are being exp
Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka om progressiva konstruktioner har blivit vanligare i svenskan. Bakgrunden till frågeställningen var en misstanke om att konstruktionen håller på och + V har blivit vanligare. Den första forskningsfrågan var: Har konstruktionen håller på och + V blivit vanligare på bekostnad av konstruktionen håller på att + V? Den andra forskningsfrågan var: Har kon
This thesis seeks to analyse the current legal regime on copyright and trade marks in relation to classic European folklore, specifically fairy tales; and to verify whether this regime satisfies the European Union’s goals to safeguard cultural heritage in light of intellectual property protection. For that purpose, the thesis proposes a review of legislation, case law, and literature. It departs f
The mosquito Aedes aegypti is a known vector for many diseases, which leads to the use of harmful insecticides. Painless is a membrane protein that plays a role in sensing noxious heat mechanical stimuli, and by determining its structure, it could potentially be a target repellents as an alternative to insecticides. By expressing Painless an additional eGFP HisTag in yeast cells, the protein can
In Vietnam, household food waste is increasing due to changing consumption patterns and urbanization. While technological innovations in food packaging, such as intelligent packaging, have the potential to reduce food waste, their success depends on consumer acceptance. This study explores Vietnamese consumers' perceptions of intelligent packaging as a tool for food waste prevention and factor
This master’s thesis is a qualitative content analysis of nine municipal library plans (and two county library plans) with a basis in new institutionalism, specifically in regards to legitimacy, homogeneity as well as themes and patterns in the sourcematerial. With a basis in the history of the library plan and the municipal gouvernance, debate in regards to cultural policy, the downsizing of libr
Bakgrund: Menstruation är en naturlig fysiologisk process och miljontals flickor menstruerar varje dag. Trots detta påverkas den menstruella hälsan av mensfattigdom vilket är mer vanligt i en fattig kontext, där bland annat kulturella seder riter och tabun får en stor inverkan, ofta på grund av brist på information och rätt kunskap. Mensfattigdom är ett samlingsbegrepp som grundar sig i bristen på
This thesis investigates how educational attainment influenced men’s and women’s employment in the industrial sector of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) between 1970 and 1989. While the GDR’s socialist ideology promoted gender equality, reflected in near-universal female labour participation and widespread access to education, persistent gender disparities in employment outcomes raise question
Under the global carbon neutrality agenda, emission reduction in China’s heavy-duty transport sector is becoming urgent, though the transition faces multiple barriers. Despite China’s leading position in new energy heavy-duty trucks, gaps remain at the strategic and policy levels. This thesis, based on the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) and Policy Challenge theory, uses policy content analysis, hot
The introduction and subsequent development of the railroad during the 19th century is a fundamental part of world history, due to it being a key player in the shaping of modern society. Therefore, the history of the railroad and its importance is a subject well suited for museums with several museums dedicated to railroad history appearing around the world. Within these museums, trains become int
This study aims to create a greater understanding of how public librarians in Sweden perceive target groups of easy-to-read books for adults and how they work to mediate those books to the different groups. To investigate these questions, I have conducted interviews with seven librarians at four public libraries in Sweden and analysed the results using the classification theory of Bowker and Star
Wildfire risk has been increasing in recent decades due to both climate change and the expansion of human settlement into fire-prone areas. Following the devastating Eaton and Palisades fires in Los Angeles, USA, this thesis investigates the contributions of wildfire insurance to adaptation and recovery processes, and if homeowners have equal access to insurance. Using environmental justice theory
Introduction: Conventional packaging extends cucumber’s shelf life while reducing food waste, however concerns regarding micro(nano) plastics (MNPs) contamination remain. At the same time, edible food coatings are increasingly gaining attention as a promising more sustainable alternative. Background: Despite the preservation advantages of low-density polyethylene (LDPE)packaging, its breakdown
I en samtid präglad av nyliberal ideologi har entreprenöriella ideal blivit centrala i både arbetsliv och vardag. Denna studie undersöker hur dessa ideal kommer till uttryck i den svenska reality-TV-serien Farmen, med fokus på deltagarnas språkbruk och interaktioner i programmets 18:e säsong. Genom en kritisk diskursanalys identifieras nyliberala diskurser präglade av företagsspråk, självdisciplin
This thesis examines how real-time sensor data from building systems can support the decision-making process of Incident Commanders during fire interventions. The study focuses on the potential of digital information, particularly smoke detector activation data presented through a visual interface. The research was conducted through two simulated fire scenarios in a familiar public building (Söde
