Rapid warming increases winter soil carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux in Arctic tundra ecosystems, which can significantly offset carbon (C) uptake during growing seasons and affect the overall annual C balance. In winter, the Arctic landscape is predominantly covered with snow, which is vital for regulating ecological processes. Nevertheless, the impact of snow redistribution on the spatial distributio

Daylight analysis informs design decisions in architectural spaces, yet materials, colours, and furnishings - often chosen later - can significantly impact indoor daylighting. This study assessed these effects in a typical open-plan office in Copenhagen using parametric simulations with Radiance through Honeybee in Grasshopper, complemented by a sensitivity analysis following the Morris method. Va

United Airlines is a major American airline company founded in 1926, which operates both domestic and international routes. They have experienced past reputational damage, and have suffered a loss in legitimacy as critics have questioned their practices. Using the Legitimacy Theory and Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) as basis, a thematic content analysis (specifically template analy

I takt med att samhället digitaliseras ökar även tillgängligheten till olika kommunikationsforum där samspel mellan individer och organisationer är nödvändigt för att bibehålla förtroende mellan parterna. Som resultat av en stigande digital närvaro ökar även organisationers behov att hantera krissituationer i en kommunikativ kontext. En konsekvens av digitaliseringen som uppmärksammats mer och merAs our society becomes increasingly digitised, a growing number of communication platforms emerge, necessitating interaction between individuals and organisations to sustain trust between them. One consequence of digitalisation that has gained more and more attention is the occurrence of cyber attacks, whose increased presence poses serious threats to individuals, organisations and society at larg

Studie syfte är att ge en mer nyanserad förståelse och utforska konsumenters attityder gentemot miljömässigt hållbara annonser inom energisektorn och dess påverkan på konsumenternas varumärkesattityd. Målet är att identifiera och förklara relationen mellan dessa begrepp. Genom detta bidrar studien till det strategiska kommunikationsfältet genom att fördjupa kunskapen inom en begränsad och utmanad This study aims to gain a more nuanced understanding and explore consumers’ attitudes towards environmental sustainability advertisements in the energy industry and its effect on consumer brand attitude. Thus, the purpose is to identify and explain the relationship between these constructs. In doing so, this study contributes to the field of strategic communication by gaining knowledge within a li

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur en cyberattackkris påverkar allmänhetens attityder gentemot en organisation samt organisationens rykte. Studien utforskar teorin Situational Crisis Communication Theorys (SCCT) offerkategorisering av en cyberattackkris i en svensk kontext. Vidare undersöks hur individers kunskap om cyberattacker, tillskrivning av krisansvar och nyttjande av olika responssThis study aims to examine how a cyber attack crisis affects public attitudes toward an organization and the organization’s reputation. The study explores the Situational Crisis Communication Theory’s (SCCT) victim categorization of a cyber attack crisis in a Swedish context. Further, it examines how individuals’ knowledge about cyber attacks, attribution of crisis responsibility, and response str

Although the information obtained from in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) presents a complex-valued spectrum, spectral quantification generally employs linear combination model (LCM) fitting using the real spectrum alone. There is currently no known investigation comparing fit results obtained from LCM fitting over the full complex data versus the real data and how these resulAlthough the information obtained from in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) presents a complex-valued spectrum, spectral quantification generally employs linear combination model (LCM) fitting using the real spectrum alone.

This thesis investigates the implementation and challenges of Smart Cities, focusing on how different elements affect the decisions and strategies for integrating smart technologies. The study is based on qualitative interviews with professionals involved in Smart City projects. It highlights the diverse definitions and interpretations of the Smart City concept, emphasizing the importance of trans

On the basis of ethnographic fieldwork in Singapore, the article explores the tension between children's academic success and emotional wellbeing, and the ways in which middle-class parents navigate these conflicting aspirations. It delves into families with young children who pursue alternative lifestyles by moving abroad to a presumably less stressful environment or by homeschooling their childrOn the basis of ethnographic fieldwork in Singapore, the article explores the tension between children's academic success and emotional wellbeing, and the ways in which middle-class parents navigate these conflicting aspirations.

Workplace incivility is a pervasive issue with implications for employee well-being. Drawing upon Self-Determination Theory, this study explores the association between experienced workplace incivility, need satisfaction, and work motivation and investigates whether workplace incivility is negatively associated with autonomous work motivation. We hypothesize that experiencing workplace incivility

Dietary patterns that include an excess of foods rich in saturated fat are associated with brain dysfunction. Although microgliosis has been proposed to play a key role in the development of brain dysfunction in diet-induced obesity (DIO), neuroinflammation with cytokine over-expression is not always observed. Thus, mechanisms by which microglia contribute to brain impairment in DIO are uncertain.

The oxy-fuel combustion of coke oven gas generates CH4/H2/O2/CO2 mixtures, and this study focuses on measuring the laminar burning velocities of these mixtures which are rarely studied previously. The investigation encompasses a range of equivalence ratios from 0.6 to 1.5, O2/(O2 + CO2) ratios varying between 0.25 and 0.38, and H2/(H2 + CH4) ratios ranging from 0.25 to 0.6, under normal temperatur

Graphical poster summary of conference paper.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) pathology, neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) variants associated with PD and α-Syn specific CD4+ T lymphocytes in PD patients highlight the importance of antigen presentation in PD etiology. The class II transactivator (CIITA) regulates major histocompatibility complex class II (MH

As the importance of sustainability increases more weight is laid upon using both greener building materials and efficient transportation systems. As more and more buildings are being built with wood and other light weight materials, and ever more slender constructions, the need to understand the impact of vibrations in these types of structures increases. Furthermore the increasing urban density

Kenya stands at the forefront of Eastern Africa’s economic growth, showcasing potential driven by a robust economy, a vast market, and commendable progress in education and infrastructure. Central to Kenya’s transformative agenda is Vision 2030, a blueprint to accelerate the country into a newly industrialized, middle-income country by 2030. However, the country’s industrial experience is often ov

This technical report gives an overview of our submission to task 3 of the DCASE 2024 challenge. We present a sound event localization and detection (SELD) system using input features based on trainable neural generalized cross-correlations with phase transform (NGCC-PHAT). With these features together with spectrograms as input to a Transformer-based network, we achieve significant improvements o
