Recently, their revitalization has gained urgency within sustainability discourse, seen as key to achieving global sustainable development. Yet, interventions often focus narrowly on economic recovery, overlooking the social dimension, particularly social cohesion, which is ess

Indigenous communities in the Amazon are facing rapid socio-ecological changes that threaten traditional land management practices and food sovereignty. Indigenous knowledge and practices, essential for biodiversity conservation, are quickly being lost. I examine how changes in traditional land management affect Indigenous food sovereignty and its impact on the growth of women's leadership in

Chile’s exposure to multiple natural hazards and its fragmented resilience governance highlight the urgent need for a standardised measurement tool. This thesis adapts an Australian framework to develop the Resiliencia Sistémica, Integral, Social y Territorial para Emergencias (RESISTE), a top-down, indicator-based framework rooted in socio-ecological system thinking and tailored to Chile’s contex

In Denmark food production is dominantly influenced by industrial agriculture, which has been increasingly scrutinized for its negative environmental impacts making it evident that alternative food systems must be explored. This could, for example, be permaculture which guides people to live in harmony with nature. This thesis investigates what eight Danish permaculture practitioners wish to chang

Bakgrund: En av de främsta riskerna inom den perioperativa vården patienterna riskerar att drabbas av är kvarglömda kirurgiska instrument och material. Detta fenomen benämns som retained surgical instruments, RSI, vilket avser allt oavsiktligt kvarglömt material. RSI kan orsaka allvarliga konsekvenser för den drabbade patienten. En viktig omvårdnadsåtgärd som operationssjuksköterskan ska utföra fö

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
