South Africa has a coal-based energy system and extractive economy, largely responsible for its relatively high emission levels compared to countries with similar GDP figures. This extractive, coal-based economy began during British colonization and today shows few tangible signs of transitioning rapidly to limit climate change. This thesis interrogates the role of coloniality in climate inaction,
Tidigare forskning visar att svårigheter med emotionell klarhet (eng. ”emotional clarity”) är mer framträdande hos barn och unga med psykiatriska symtom. Det finns emellertid få studier som undersöker detta samband i kliniska grupper av barn och unga med ångestsyndrom och tvångssyndrom. Vidare har emotionell klarhet främst undersökts genom självskattning, vilket motiverar behovet av att undersöka Difficulties with emotional clarity may be more prominent in children and adolescents with psychiatric symptoms, but there is limited research in clinical samples of youth with anxiety disorders (ADs) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Furthermore, emotional clarity has mostly been studied using self-report measures, indicating the need for more experiential ways of examining this concept. T

I detta examensarbete har tanken varit att få en ökad kunskap för hur chiafröet påverkar det glutenfria brödet. Orsaken till det glutenfria brödets uppkomst är sjukdomen celiaki. Samtidigt som forskning utförs inom området celiaki är det svårt för människor med denna diagnos att hitta bra glutenfria brödalternativ. Den sensoriska kvalitén, texturen och smaken i ett glutenfritt bröd kan tyckas varaThe aim of this thesis has been to gain an increased knowledge of how chia seed affects gluten-free bread. At the same time as research on celiac disease is being carried out, it is difficult for people with this diagnosis to find good gluten-free bread alternatives. The sensory qualities, texture and the taste of a gluten-free bread are sometimes far from acceptable when compared to bread with gl
The nexus between the far-right ideologies, toxic masculinity, and climate denial urgently calls for more research. Drawing on intersectional feminist theory and framing theory, a qualitative frame analysis based on the Estonian Far-Right Populist Party’s (EKRE) conservative news platform was conducted to scrutinize the role of toxic masculinity in legitimizing climate denial. As research reveals,
In July 2021, single-use plastics will be banned from the European market, meaning that the plastic straws used with Tetra Pak’s portion packs will no longer be permitted. Therefore, Tetra Pak develops new straws, and it is important to test their functionality, something that previously has been done with panel tests. However, Tetra Pak has requested to aid the development process by minimizing t

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has over the past two decades evolved from something theoretical into something more practical and applicable. The technological advancements of the modern era have enabled us to utilize more advanced systems to facilitate various tasks. AI more specifically, has been integrated into many of the systems we use in both everyday lives, as well as in business systems. Thi
The paper at hand concerns itself with the vegetarian organisation known as Svenska Vegetariska Föreningen in the early twentieth-century Sweden.

Rain as well as too high or low temperatures contribute to this negative change of mood. The festival chosen fo

The food system accounts for a significant portion of environmental degradation, while it is at the same time to a large extent producing food that is deteriorating to human health. The private sector plays an essential role in contributing to the sustainability of the system. Based on a systematic literature review, we conceptualise the notion of sustainable nutrition (SN), which highlights the i
Bakgrund: Ett fåtal studier beskriver barnmorskans upplevelser av att assistera kvinnor med förlossningsrädsla under barnafödande.
