Genom att använda sig av dendrokronologi kan man skapa högupplösta klimatarkiv från subfossila trädrester. Från torvtäkten Ope-Brynjeflon i Jämtland har 178 holocena prover av tall (Pinus sylvestris) hämtats för att användas i klimatrekonstruktioner. Syftet med den här studien är att fortsätta det redan påbörjade arbetet med att anlysera proverna för att (1) ta reda på över hur lång tid och vilketBy using dendrochronology, it is possible to create climate archives with high resolution from subfossil remains of trees. 178 samples of pine (Pinus sylvestris) have been collected from the peat-extraction site OpeBrynjeflon in Jämtland, Sweden, in order to be used in climate reconstructions. The aim of this project is to continue this work and analyse these samples in order to (1) find out over

Members of the general public assess risks of climate change differently than experts. Increasing the perceived risk through communication of climate change has been debated as a viable strategy to promote more sustainable behavior. This thesis exposes 412 subjects to four different messages regarding varying the likelihood and severity of averse consequences of global warming. Analysis of a two

Situated in Vietnam’s transitional vacuum in its urban cores Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, this study is rooted in the aim to understand the emerging variants of coworking spaces currently proliferating across the country. This aim is realized by conducting a multiple case study and semi-structured interviews with nine founders, community managers and users of coworking spaces from heterogeneous bac

This thesis outlines an exploratory study which aimed at understanding the influencing factors of parenting practices change among three generations. The theoretical position of this research draws on the work of pragmatism of Bourdieu (1986) who proposed the cultural capital as well as Laraeu (2021), who brought forward the concerted cultivation and natural growth parenting practice methods.

Rörelsen “Frihet Sverige” har under 2020 och 2021 anordnat demonstrationer mot pandemilagstiftningen för att försöka påverka allmänhetens syn på covid-19. I en Facebookgrupp med samma namn diskuterar rörelsens anhängare frågor om covid-19 och relaterade ämnen som vaccin och eventuella bakomliggande konspirationer. Denna uppsats undersöker hur Frihet Sverige skapar mening kring olika agendor inom F

Hållbar utveckling är ett mål för samtliga branscher men även för landet och världen. Byggnationen av infrastruktur och bostäder står i dagsläget för omkring 40% av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser, vilket innebär att stora förändringar krävs för att nå de uppsatta klimatmålen till år 2045, alltså att Sverige inte skall ha några nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser. Asfalt består till majoriteten Sustainable development is an important goal for industries, both nationally and globally. The construction of infrastructure and housing currently accounts for about 40% of Sweden's total greenhouse gas emissions, which means that major changes are required to achieve the set climate goals by 2045, i.e., that Sweden will have no net greenhouse gas emissions. Asphalt consists for the most part

Syfte: Att beskriva den expressiva och impressiva språkförmågan hos barn med cochleaimplantat (CI) i förhållande till normalhörande barn i samma ålder, och undersöka samband mellan språkförmågor och daglig CI-användning, talexponering och exekutiva funktioner. Metod: I studien ingick elva barn med CI mellan 3 år, 9 månader och 6 år, 11 månader. Barnens språkförmågor bedömdes med SIR-skalan, SyntaxPurpose: To describe the expressive and receptive language skills of children with cochlear implants (CI) in comparison with normal-hearing children of the same age, and explore associations between language skills and daily CI use, speech exposure and executive functions. Method: The participants were eleven children with CIs aged between 3 years, 9 months and 6 years, 11 months. The children’s l

Consumers evaluate each step of their journey, which influences consumer’s expectations for further experiences and future intentions. Accordingly, past experiences are stored in consumers’ memory but each part of the journey will not be remembered. What drives further behaviours and intentions are the events of the experience that are considered more emotional and atypical, also called peaks. The

Soil moisture (SM) is an essential climate variable that controls fundamental hydrological and climatic processes. Soil moisture products derived from microwave remote sensing often provide measurements at low spatial resolution and incomplete temporal records. This thesis presents a novel method for estimation soil moisture at both high spatial and temporal resolution by using a deep learning rec

The concept of a circular economy (CE) has gained traction in the EU as a pathway towards sustainability. However, beyond the goal of closing resource loops there is no consensus on the key components of CE. Efforts to triangulate a definition of CE found that it is mainly a model for economic prosperity that aims to reconcile economic growth with sustainability. In 2020, the Swedish government ad

Den ökade tillgängligheten av kommersiella laserskärare har utvidgat användningen av laserskärningsteknik till nya marknader och öppnat upp nya möjligheter för mindre företag att finna innovativa lösningar inom sina områden. Denna examensarbeterapport ämnar att undersöka användningen av laserskärningsteknik i samband med att skapa vikbara 3D-strukturer för brädspel, och den resulterande produktutvThe proliferation of commercial laser cutters has expanded the use of laser cutting technology to new markets, opening up new possibilities for small companies to innovate in their fields. This thesis aims to examine the use of laser cutting technology in the context of creating foldable 3D structures for board games and the resulting product development of these structures within a board game sys

In previous years, the crisis communication literature has increasingly emphasised the need for closer examination of internal crisis communication, thereby focussing on employees during crises. Additionally, so far, no research has been conducted exploring internal crisis communication and its impact on employee well-being. The present study aimed at closing this gap by investigating whether inte

Every year, millions of people are internally displaced as a result of disasters and the adverse effects of climate change. Considering that climate change acts as a “threat multiplier”, thus, posing a serious risk to the fundamental rights, such as the rights to life, health, food, an adequate standard of living of individuals and communities worldwide, it is expected that the magnitude of this i

Increased awareness regarding nutrition, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare has sparked a trend to shift away from animal proteins. The phenomenon is referred to as the protein shift and has resulted in a higher demand for alternative protein sources. This dissertation aims to study potential opportunities and challenges of using recombinant food proteins expressed in Escherichia col

Syftet med studien är att nyansera kunskapen om ledarskap i startups genom att undersöka hur chefer i denna kontext uppfattar sin roll som ledare.

Studien visade att cheferna belyser arbete för att främja gruppen samt att resultat,

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effect the no-da construction has on the politeness of two sentence types: requests and quotations followed by opinion. The purpose is, more specifically, to examine whether claims regarding the effect no-da has on these sentence types, made by Kuno (1973) and McGloin (1980), can be supported or not. The claim regarding requestive sentences, made by bot
