While women comprise the majority of employees in Chinese Environmental NGOs (ENGOs), little is understood about how they navigate leadership within gendered and politically constrained organisational structures. The gap in understanding gendered dynamics in environmental organisations persists, particularly in non-Western contexts such as China. This study focuses on female leaders in Chinese ENG
The objective of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of constructing temporary warehouse halls using glulam (glued laminated timber) frames, as well as to explore alternative solutions to PVC fabric for roofing and walls. The background is an increasing demand for temporary and flexible ware- house structures across several industries, along with a growing interest in environmentally fr
This thesis examens lobbying strategies by corporations within the context of the European Union’s regulatory framework. The example used is fast fashion company Shein, who is affected by EU legislation as they enter the EU market. The research focuses on access points and constraints when corporations lobby the EU and explain why Shein won’t be successful. Evidence collected through Process Trac
Deforestation is one of the most significant environmental challenges, with close links to global issues such as biodiversity loss and climate change. The European Union Deforestation-free Products Regulation (EUDR) introduces rigorous due diligence obligations for companies placing forest-risk commodities and derived products on the European market, intending to halt global deforestation. Despite
Lignin is a biopolymer naturally found in the cell walls of plants and can be valorized in various applications including coatings, resins, slow-release fertilizers, etc., due to its favorable properties such as biodegradability and high carbon content. This thesis explores the properties and the use of biorefinery lignin as a coating material for slow-release fertilizer formulations. Various pre-
The aim of this thesis was to analyze and compare the effects of various types of speed-reducing measures (speed humps, raised pedestrian and cycle crossings, dynamic speed bumps, and combined solutions) on vehicle speeds and traffic safety on selected streets in Helsingborg, Sweden. The study focused on residential streets, school zones, and main roads with different traffic environments. The met
Urban wildness refers to natural ecosystems within built-up areas that are subject to minimal human interference. It can provide huge social benefits and contribute to more liveable towns and cities. It can provide places for active recreation, aesthetic enjoyment, and interactions with nature that are otherwise unavailable in urban environments. It can improve health and wellbeing by encouraging
Climate change is intensifying globally, leading to rising temperatures. The Arctic being a vulnerable and extreme environment faces an enhanced warming effect, referred to as the Arctic amplification. In this rapidly changing environment, high amounts of carbon (1,460 – 1,600 Pg C) are stored in permafrost. This is four times the amount of carbon being emitted by humans in modern times. Increasin
Sweden has long cultivated an international identity as a “moral authority” by promoting democracy, international law and human rights. However, its foreign policy toward authoritarian regimes has shown inconsistencies with these core values. This thesis investigates this discrepancy through a comparative case study of Sweden’s bilateral relations with Iran and Saudi Arabia. These two countrie

Föreliggande uppsats har som övergripande syfte att fördjupa förståelsen för hur elever i en mångkulturell skolkontext språkligt positionerar sig inom ramen för svenskundervisningen. Särskilt fokus riktas mot hur gymnasieelever navigerar mellan förortssvenska och andra språkliga varieteter i relation till skolans språkliga normer, samt hur dessa språkpraktiker påverkar elevernas upplevelser av ideThis thesis aims to deepen the understanding of how students in a multicultural school context linguistically position themselves within the framework of Swedish language education. Particular attention is given to how students navigate between suburban Swedish and different linguistic varieties — in relation to dominant language norms in the classroom, and how these practices shape their experien
In 2023, Russia invaded Ukraine and began an occupation of large parts of the country. This invasion sparked concern in many nations and led to an increased interest in defence issues, thereby triggering a narrative of rearmament. A major focus within this rearmament narrative is the drone, which, in the midst of the war, became a game changer for both the Russians and the Ukrainians. The drone is
Varje minut räknas på en intensivvårdsavdelning. Att snabbt kunna avgöra vilka patienter som har störst risk att gå bort kan vara avgörande för att rädda liv och för att använda resurser på bästa sätt. Men kan moderna maskininlärnings tekniker använda sig av digitala medicinregister för att göra dagens riskbedömningar ännu bättre? I detta examensarbete undersöks om digitala medicinregister kan förEarly and accurate prediction of patient outcomes in intensive care units (ICUs) is essential to help with effective clinical decision-making and resource allocation. This thesis investigates the predictive performance of logistic regression and machine learning models for 30-day mortality following ICU admission. The thesis has a particular focus on the contribution of medication administration r
Violent internal conflicts have characterized Sri Lanka for much of the last century, often driven by issues of identity, ideology, and victimhood. In 1983, a civil war broke out between the Sinhalese-dominated government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), lasting until 2009, when government forces defeated the LTTE militarily. Although the war has ended, the population continues to
Costa Rica is often regarded as a role model among Latin American countries, with a relatively high level of social development and education. However, just like many other countries in this region, it has enacted far-reaching neoliberal policies since the 1980s, and many of these have negatively affected rural workers in the agricultural sector. This thesis explores how people in rural areas in C
Following Russia´s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Sweden made the historic decision to abandon its more than 200-year long policy of neutrality by applying for a membership in the military alliance (NATO). This shift marked a significant reconstruction of the Swedish Armed Forces. Although the Swedish Armed Forces have long been recognized as one of the most gender-equal military organizations, thi
Det här arbetet kommer att undersöka hur det grönländska narrativet representeras i den politiska konflikten om USAs uttalade intresse att ta över ön. Arbetet baseras på en kvalitativ narrativ analys av politiska uttalanden och media artiklar. Resultatet visar på hur det grönländska perspektivet kommer i skymundan för andra aktörers intressen. Resultatet av analysen visar på hur en narrativ konstr
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur Donald Trump i intervjuer och tal konstruerar problem kring yttrandefrihet. Materialet är begränsat till tal och intervjuer i början av Trumps andra mandatperiod som president i USA. Talen och intervjuerna analyseras sedan genom kritisk diskursanalys utifrån Carol Bacchis metodologiska ramverk: "What's the problem represented to be?. Det teore
