Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) is an emerging concept which has the potential to address several sustainability challenges. In this multiple case study research on three NBS projects in Gothenburg (Sweden) the projects objectives and evaluated impacts are studied to provide insights into how NBS interventions are implemented in urban contexts. In addition, barriers and drivers for up-scaling are ide
Room acoustics, as a branch of architectural acoustics, has got more and more attention nowadays. One of the aims of the room acoustics is to develop different method to evaluate the acoustic performance of the rooms and to address human acoustic comfort needs. Meanwhile, the process of reverberation plays an important role in room acoustics, and it is also an evaluation standard of evaluating roo
This thesis examines the discourse concerning the consent-based rape law reform in Sweden and Denmark. Sweden implemented the consent-based rape law July 2018 and has since been evaluating the law while the current Danish government promised that the law will change to a consent-based law. I focus on eight Danish articles and eight Swedish news articles in which the consent-based rape law reform i
Everyday activities play a fundamental part in our lives. But how do they relate to well-being? Specific types of activities, such as positive and social activities have been found to be related to subjective well-being (SWB). However, this pre-registered study aimed to investigate if self-reported everyday activities, and activities participants reported had the most impact on their SWB in the pa
The purpose of this project was to investigate the use of microfluidics for X-ray spectroscopy at MAX IV Laboratory. A Silicon and Glass chip was produced, and its suitability for carrying samples in solution was tested. Once the chip was prepared, and successfully integrated onto Balder beamline, X-ray analysis was carried out on a sample of FeCl3 (aq) flowing through the chip. This was contraste
Selectively retrieving memories can lead to forgetting of related, but irrelevant memories. The forgetting of competing memories has been seen in several behavioral studies, but neural evidence of the process underlying this finding are scarce. One hypothesis is that the brain handles competition at retrieval by inhibition of the competing items to facilitate target retrieval. The effect of this i
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to describe radiologic tehnologists (RT) experiences and perspective on performing lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomorgraphy in the United States. Methodes: A qualitative study design was used with semi-structured interviews of five radiologic technologist. The material was analyzed by a qualitative content analysis method. Results: The result o
The European Union and human rights, LGBTI rights included, are often considered to be closely interconnected. This seemingly straightforward image is, however, more complex than it might seem. LGBTI rights occupy a rather slim part of EU legislation, and Member States are not on the same page regarding the issue. Against this backdrop, this thesis aims to bring more clarity to the intersection be
The topic of this thesis is the sports law attached to the image rights and intellectual property rights (IPR). The focus is more on the individual athletes when it comes to the commercial use of their image. In this work I study how the individual athletes’ right to their image might possibly be limited. My question layout includes the reflection on how the athletes’ opportunities to use or to co
This study investigates how magazine grooming advertisements currently portray and stereotype women. By examining women’s portrayal and stereotyping, this research aims to uncover whether advertising depicts women fairly based on their changing role in society from a rather traditional, domestic and dependent role to a more non-traditional, professional and independent one. With this purpose, this
This thesis research analyzed policies that promote resource mobilization for the development of the Solar Water Heaters and Photovoltaic industries in Mexico. The main inquiry is to identify the role that technological complexity plays in promoting resource mobilization for sustainable transition policies. It is assumed that if the technology is complex, resources are obtained from extra-regional
While the environmental justice movement has grown worldwide, it seems that the movement has yet to mobilise in South Africa. The instances of environmental injustices in South Africa are abundant but paradoxically this has not given rise to a united movement demanding environmental justice for a transition to a new and renewable energy path. This thesis explores the challenges of creating an envi
Since the mid 90s, globalisation has been an unstoppable trend in the world. To cope with the fast-changing international operations, virtual teams (VT) have been widely used. This study takes place in the context of IKEA in Sweden and is built on semi-constructed interviews and on- site observations. We have adopted the qualitative and abductive approach to interpret the underlying dynamics of VT
The amount of wind turbines in Sweden has more than doubled in the last five years. Wind turbines can affect birds directly, by causing fatalities and indirectly, through habitat destruction, disturbance and barrier effects resulting from turbine construction and operation. To increase understanding of how this rapidly expanding form of energy harvesting affects avian communities in Sweden large,
Epilepsy is to this day still a serious neurological diseases where treatments such as pharmaceutical agents and surgery can at most alleviate the symptoms, but not cure it. This disease is still not fully understood at a cellular and network-level, but the recent advancements in the field of optogenetics can serve as an alternative way of studying the brain and diseases such as epilepsy. By genet
In this paper we have looked at the effect good schools have on surrounding house prices, focusing on London. We consider both the effect of “% of students that meet expected standard in math, reading, and writing”, and the new “progression score” that the UK government has introduced. These two scores are used as the basis of how a school is defined as ‘good’. We used two different propensity sco
The Cambrian sandstone reservoirs of the Baltic Basin have been identified by the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) as potential CO2 storage sites in line with regulations regarding Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). In order to understand the petrological and petrophysical characteristics of the sandstone units, 54 thin sections from the three main Cambrian sandstone units were studied. The descri
The real space behavior of the GW self-energy in the electron gas model was investigated in this thesis work. The self-energy is naturally decomposed into the screened-exchange and the Coulomb-hole components. The self-energy calculated with different electron densities as function of frequency and position was compared with the static approximation. At low frequency, the screened-exchange self-en
