Visual representations can either concretise climate change or make it more abstract and remote. This thesis aims to bring light to how Swedish news imagery of 2019 promotes particular views on climate change. Specifically, it examines the prevalence of five visual themes (people, impacts, causes, landscape and nature, and solutions) and investigates how different geographic regions are depicted i

This project is about developing a new neighbourhood in Häljarp with a floodable wet land park as the core. After analysing the site and its surroundings, a number of strategies has been created to guide the design process. The strategies are divided into three categories; adapt to the site, liven up the community and complementing the area. This landed in a carefully considered proposal. The desi

Most existing literature uses a mean-variance frame-work for evaluating expected stock returns and ESG (environmental, social and governance) performance. At the same time, it is argued that the risk mitigation offered by high ESG should lead to higher skewness and lower kurtosis in stock returns. It is also well established that investors have positive preferences for skewness and negative prefer

As the entertainment industry continues to grow and fictional characters holding enormous value, this paper seeks to explain how the characters can be protected within the EU through copyright or the use of trade marks, and what the limitations to such protection might be. The paper is using a legal analytical method and looks at both the legislation and the case-law within the union, but also at

European rivers experience increasing concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC) from terrestrial sources due to factors involving changes in land use, climate and soil acidity. However, low interest is given to the evolution of total organic nitrogen (TON) concentrations in surface waters, the links with TOC concentrations and the influence of the surrounding land cover on nutrient inputs. Inve

The aim of this text is to create a phenomenological understanding of the public library as place and space. Because there is very little written about this subject through this particular perspective, my paper can be seen as a knowledge- theoretical contribution to library- and information science. Through my exploration I emphasize the idea of the subject as embodied and its importance in unders

Denna studie presenterar en detaljerad undersökning av utvecklingen av sedimentära landformer under en ablationssäsong vid Blåisen, en del av Hardangerjøkulen, Norge. Två besök vid Blåisen, i början och i slutet av ablationssäsongen, gjorde det möjligt att studera hur landformerna bevaras och utvecklas. Det pågår mycket forskning om glaciala landformer som är en nyckel till förståelse av hur tidigThis study presents a detailed investigation into the evolution of sedimentary landforms over an ablation season at Blåisen, an outlet of the Hardangerjøkulen Icecap, Norway. The two visits to Blåisen, one each side of the ablation season, allowed the preservation and evolution of the landforms to be studied. Much research is conducted studying glacial landforms, which are key in our understanding

An urban nature experience – an urban park where people can experience and improve the relationship between human and nature. This is an exhibition of nature in an urban environment. Here you can experience the nature with all of your senses; sight, smell, touch, sound and taste. Research has shown that the more people are exposed to nature, the more they appreciate it, and the more environmental

The government of Finland has the ambition of making Finland the first fossil-free welfare state in the world and reaching carbon neutrality in 2035. Simultaneously, worktime reduction and basic income have been matters of vivid political debate. Both worktime reduction and basic income are go-to solutions for post-growth scholars as ways to arrange welfare in a non-growing economy. These initiati

Katalysatorer är viktiga komponenter i den kemiska industrin. Deras användning tillåter kemiska processer att ske på ett ekonomiskt och miljövänligt sätt, förutsatt att de är stabila och har bra aktivitet i den kemiska miljön där de tillämpas. Ett viktigt steg vid implementeringen av nya kemiska processer är alltså att utveckla lämpliga katalysatorer. Processen att utveckla sådana kan vara väldigtEstablishing a technically practical method to generate representative model catalysts for the use in characterizations and testing prior to catalyst implementation in chemical process units would allow for a more sophisticated understanding of the underlying catalytic mechanisms. As a step towards establishing such a method, generating non-agglomerated, spherical NiMo nanoparticles, with diameter

The aim of this study was to describe and analyze the social workers’ experiences of the organizational change in social service caused by the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus. This has in turn created a stressful and a demanding environment for the social workers. Thus, it is of highly importance to examine the social workers’ reactions and experiences to this change. The study has done so by mainl

Household wealth is the gold standard of measuring poverty, however, poor individuals are not necessarily found in poor households. If household wealth is used in a context where the household members are not equally poor, poverty statistics measured on a household level might be wrong. This research aims to test the proposition ‘poor individuals are mainly found in poor households’. The relations
