Krinoidéer, eller sjöliljor, är en klass echinodermer som kan spåras tillbaka till mitten av ordovicium. Dessa växtlika marina invertebrater är antingen bottensittande eller frisimmande och representeras idag av omkring 600 arter, men gruppen var mycket större historiskt med över 6000 kända fossila arter. Patologiska eller missbildade krinoidéer är relativt vanligt förekommande i det fossila arkivCrinoids, or sea lilies, are a clade of echinoderms that can be traced back to the Middle Ordovician. These flower-like, marine invertebrates with a sessile or free-living mode of life, are represented by around 600 species in today’s oceans, but the clade was much more abundant and diverse in the past, with some 6000 fossil species known. Malformed and pathologic crinoids are relatively common in

Video games can be seen as a media that immerses players. The formation of a good game order is an important guarantee for players to engage in electronic games. This paper selects the most popular mobile MOBA game in China, "Honor of Kings," as the research object to analyze the formation process of the game order. In previous studies, game order has often been understood as game rules

Asian Americans are underrepresented in mainstream media and are often absent or portrayed with stereotypical images. These stereotypes and discrimination not only shape how non-Asians view Asian Americans, but also how Asian Americans view themselves and their racial identity. The emergence of social media has changed this situation and helped Asian Americans to speak out. Anyone can publicly exp

Sustaining ontological security is crucial to people in life transitions, without which they will be in bad mental conditions. Media scholars have focused on media roles in the everyday life of people in life transitions for years. However, they rarely dive into the topic from this perspective. Therefore, the first aim of this thesis is to fill this gap; and I will do it by investigating how gay n

Chile is positioning itself as a leader in the transition to green energy, particularly through its National Green Hydrogen Strategy, which aims to make Chile one of the world’s leading exporters of carbon-neutral hydrogen for energy and industrial applications. This thesis examines Chile’s green hydrogen policy from a political ecology perspective, in the context of 1) the Chilean state’s concept

Rapid urban growth has brought along various social, economic, and environmental issues, including the expansion of informal settlements – deprived areas lacking proper housing, basic services, and safety. Informal areas, inequalities and exclusion are common features in Nairobi, where more than half of the population is residing in slums. Women are the most vulnerable in this context, struggling

As there is an increasing trend in the large-scale flood disaster caused by short-duration rainfall in Japan, the discussion of the disaster prevention is renewed into “River Basin Disaster Resilience and Sustainability by All” recently. Given the enormous impact of maximum runoff on flood damage, this study mainly focuses on the peak-cutting and detention effect in the agricultural area where far

Den psykiska ohälsan stiger i världen och så många som en av åtta personer lever med psykisk ohälsa och upp till 71% av de som lider av psykisk ohälsa saknar tillgång till god vård. På akutmottagningar är psykisk ohälsa utmanande och komplext men fortsatt en återkommande patientkategori som behöver mötas. Syfte: Beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelse av att möta patienter med psykisk ohälsa på somati

This research analyzes the political engagement of Turkish citizens on Twitter, in which underrepresented groups and individuals search for democratic public space to mobilize against injustice. With this in mind, the study focuses on the civic engagement of Turkish citizens on Twitter with the hashtag #istanbulsözleşmesiyaşatır, which translates to‘istanbulconventionsaveslives’. The hashtag is a

Education has the potential to play a critical role in the sustainable transformation of society which is needed to limit the consequences of the multiple ecological crises society is facing. While this has been recognised internationally at least since 1992, not a lot has been done within the Danish educational system to address issues of climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainability with

Turkey, the country of failed and "successful" military coups, experienced the latest coup attempt on July 15, 2016, in which it is still unclear how, why, and by whom it originated. However, after this critical event, Turkish media and critical journalists were subjected to very strict censorship and repression. Hundreds of journalists were arrested for their views, and many had to flee

The study examines the role of smartphones as both a media technology and media practice in the context of the war between Ukraine and Russia starting in 2022. Focusing on Ukrainian civilians, who constitute one of the most networked societies, the research explores the extent and quality of smartphone technology's pervasiveness, evolving social dynamics and experiences shaped by smartphone-me

Analysis of alternative splicing has provided valuable information for multiple types of cancer, including breast cancer in recent years. Alternative splicing has been suggested to be one of the hallmarks for cancer, as dysregulation of the normal splicing process governs many aspects of cancer cell biology. For several genes previously associated with cancer, specific variants and their effect on

Biological invasion is one of the main drivers of species extinctions. Therefore, measures are implemented to reduce the abundance of the invading species with the goal to mitigate its impact. These measures often lead to high labour and economic expenditures yet their effectiveness are often uncertain. To evaluate and thereby improve the mitigation of invasions, it is essential to understand the

This study represents the first large scale assessment of the ichthyofaunal biodiversity in Gansbaai, Souuth Africa by using BRUV (Baited Remote Underwater Video) in the bay. Results show that the bay supports a diverse and abundant fish community, including several species that are of conservation concern. Forty species from 22 families were recorded across 89 sample sites across three habitat ty

Abstrakt Antalet vårdplatser per invånare i Sverige har minskat de senaste 20 åren. Akutmottagningarna har fått en ökad belastning. Sjuksköterskornas arbetsuppgifter är många och av olika karaktär, allt från att ta hand om enklare symtom till plötslig död. Arbetet kan vara kroppsligt tung och psykiskt påfrestande. Akutmottagningarna har hög personalomsättning och sänkta kompetenskrav vid nyanställAbstract The number of care places per resident in Sweden has decreased in the last 20 years. A consequence of this has been that the emergency department have had an increased work load. The tasks of an emergency room nurse are stimulating as well as challenging. Multiple tasks of various nature ranging from addressing simple symptoms to acute and sudden death. The work may be physically hard

High intensity focused ultrasound is a growing technique for tissue ablation, among other uses, and given its destructive capabilities, there is a need for control of where the energy is delivered. There exist a number of methods for focusing such ultrasound arrays, but these often assume prior knowledge of the impulse response, or require extensive full-system simulations. This thesis explores sc

This study arises from an existential concern that there is an obliviousness in academia with regards to the recent eruption of the transhumanist movement–an ideological force imbued with potentially calamitous socioecological consequences. With the support from recent claims that the transhumanist ideology exerts powerful influence on Western politics, this study seeks to investigate how the tran

This paper examines constructions of nature as communicated in three films by outdoor company Patagonia. By employing discourse analysis and the theory of spectacle, the films are seen to construct nature as wilderness and thus apart from humans. Speaking as an authority on the matter, Patagonia suggests wilderness ideals as a method of conservation. Together with representations of nature as spec
