RedNote (Xiaohongshu) is one of the most influential women-centered platforms in China. Due to its highly feminized features, female users curate and share contents related to their body image, reflecting the prevailing representations of Chinese aesthetic ideals and normative femininity. This thesis examines Gao-Da-Zhuang (tall, large-sized and strong/muscular) women’s bodily self-representation

This thesis investigates the intersection of urban greening and multispecies justice from a more-than-human (MTH) perspective in Mexico City (CDMX). The study addresses a critical gap in existing research, which predominantly focuses on the human-centric implications of urban greening, such as gentrification and human well-being, while neglecting the needs and well-being of non-human life forms. B

The objectives of this thesis are to find a common ground for business and environmental interests and to evaluate the potential of Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) as transition tools to lead towards a greener economic paradigm. For these purposes it was assessed, which implications EMSs have for the competitiveness of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) within the first three years

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Vi lever idag i ett informationssamhälle och delar av denna information är geografisk. Denna geografiska information kan användas för att skapa kartor efter egna önskemål och för specifika användningsområden. Genom att ansluta till en webbsida som tillhandahåller visningstjänster av kartor kan en användare välja vilken information som ska vara med i en karta och We live in an information intensive society and geographic data are part of this information. These geographic data are used by private persons to plan holiday trips or to find the way to business meetings. Companies utilize geographic data in fields such as forestry, construction work, and tourism. Local municipalities require geographic data for planning purposes, and in the academic world much

Med ökad andel intermittent elproduktion i Sveriges elproduktionsmix och ett åldrande stamnät ökar behovet av flexibilitet i elsystemet. Lagring av energi, till exempel i vätgas, är ett exempel på en sådan flexibilitetslösning, eftersom energin kan flyttas från tidpunkter med överskott till tidpunkter med högt energibehov. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka energisystemnyttan med ett v ägaSweden’s increasing share of intermittent electricity production and aging backbone network has given rise to a need for flexibility in the energy system. A potential solution to this challenge is energy storage, where hydrogen is a possible pathway. This master’s thesis aims to investigate the energy system benefits of a hydrogen system for seasonal energy storage of excess solar electricity in a

This study analyses the performance of the satellite derived Plant Phenology Index (PPI) against the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for estimating start of season (SOS) and end of season (EOS) of vegetation growth in part of the Balkan Peninsula, Southeastern Europe (2000 – 2016). Results revealed that PPI and NDVI differ considerably; SOS and EOS may diverge by more than one month

People’s ability to learn holds a promise for sustainability as learning is seen to enable change; yet, the prevalence of norms and values in society that reinforce unsustainability may severely challenge this process. The debate on what role learning can play is centered around the question whether people can learn from others and if so, how to enhance it. More precisely, who has to learn what fr

“There is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women,” Kofi Annan (UN News Center, 2005). The empowerment of women takes different forms such as pursuit of education, participation in political activities and representation in leadership, equal employment opportunities and wages, access to health care and ability to make decisions on personal reproductive health, economic

Sex chromosome evolution is a fascinating research topic because sex chromosomes provide a snapshot of evolution in many different lineages. Sex chromosomes often cease to recombine and therefore degenerate, and have also often been reshuffled during their evolution from autosomes. It has been discovered that within Sylvioidea passerine species half of chromosome 4a has translocated and fused with

Remote sensed vegetation biophysical indicators are derived from various sensors and methods and contribute to the quantification of vegetation growth. They are used as inputs to early warning systems for crop yield estimation, thus improving crop management and food security. However, the performance of any such system is affected by the performance of the chosen remote sensed biophysical indicat

Denna uppsats undersöker NJA 2023 s. 393 (”Vapenattrappen”), och dess konsekvenser för såväl gällande rätt som domstolarnas rättstillämpning. Domen kom under våren 2023 att kritiseras hårt. I målet stod två män åtalade för försök till vapenbrott, eftersom de påstods ha försökt inneha vapen. Vapnen byttes emellertid ut mot en ofarlig attrapp av polis ca. fyra månader innan de tilltalade dök upp, vaThis paper examines NJA 2023 s. 393 ("The Dummy Weapon"), and its consequences for both current law and practical legal application. The verdict would come to be heavily criticized during the spring of 2023. Two men were prosecuted in the case. They were charged with attempted exceptionally aggravated weapons offence, since they had allegedly tried to possess firearms. The firearms had,

Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a virus infecting over 90 % of the population. It causes latent infections in nerve cells and can upon reactivation travel along the neurons and cause lytic infections with painful blisters as a result. HSV-1 infects multiple cell types, fibroblasts and T-cells among others. During infection HSV-1 is known to downregulate the transcription of many of the gene

Vegetation on land is globally taking up about 30% of the CO2 that is emitted by human activities (oceans take up 30%, while 40% remains in the atmosphere). This ability to store carbon in the vegetation and in the soil is very important to mitigate the climate changes, but all land based ecosystems are not carbon sinks. Ecosystems that are losing carbon needs to be further investigated, so we can

Globalization has since the 90s played a big part in the way companies look at their business and strategic developments. Acting on a global scale introduces a new complexity when it comes to running a business successfully. Alfa Laval being a global player within their product segments, experiences this complexity with production facilities as well as employees spread around the globe combined wi

Jordens havsnivå förändras ständigt och dessa förändringar kan ha olika orsaker: i ett längre geologiskt tidsperspektiv är det processer i jordens inre som påverkar havsnivån, men i ett kortare perspektiv spelar till exempel tillväxten och avsmältningen av inlandsisar stor roll. Under kvartärtiden har den sistnämnda processen varit den dominerande vad gäller att påverka havsnivåerna: vid istider hResults from an investigation of relative sea-level changes from c. 11,000 cal. yr BP to the present in the Tasiusaq area, Inner Bredefjord, southwest Greenland, are presented in this thesis. Isolation sequences from two small lakes have been identified using stratigraphic analyses, XRF-scanning, loss on ignition and macrofossil analyses. Macrofossil and bulk samples have been dated in order to e

A section of the Swedish library act stipulates that libraries are to pay specific attention to people with disability. Exhaustion syndrome is a mental disability that in recent years has started to grow rapidly in numbers. This master thesis is mainly aiming to study whether public libraries are welcoming and functional places for people with exhaustion syndrome but it also has a wider scope stud

The recent 2019 COVID pandemic elucidated the tremendous effects a viral outbreak can have on the societies of the world with almost 7 million cumulative deaths worldwide. It is therefore of high importance to prepare preventative measures to aid the handling of emerging viral threats before a new pandemic is realized. One of the more prevalent and rapidly spreading viruses today are the Dengue vi
