Browning - increased water colour of freshwater, caused by rising dissolved organic matter and iron concentrations - has been widely reported and studied during the past 30 years. Browning has affected a wide range of organisms in aquatic ecosystems, however little attention has been given to macroinvertebrates in streams and especially regarding iron concentration. In this study, I include the ef

Studiens syfte var att med utgångspunkt i Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) undersöka akademiska ledares individuella, sociala och organisatoriska förutsättningar att implementera jämställdhetsarbete. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med sju akademiska ledare med operativt jämställdhetsansvar på fakultetsnivå vid en svensk teknisk högskola. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med en teoridriven

This thesis studies hallandic hillforts through both field research and computer analysis. The research questions concern morphology, classification, cultural landscape, and regional variation. The purpose of this thesis is to create a more developed and nuanced image of the hill forts, starting by mentioning them as enclosures (hägnadsanläggning) instead of hill fort (fornborg). By dividing the e

Den här kvalitativa studien syftade till att undersöka hur ungdomar beskriver begreppet välmående, hur de beskriver sin självkänsla och sina egna och andras krav har för betydelse för välmående samt hur olika aktiviteter och miljöer spelar roll för välmående, enligt de själva. För att undersöka detta intervjuades åtta förstaårs gymnasieelever. Intervjuerna transkriberades och analyserades med tema

Although venture creation programs (VCPs) are becoming increasingly popular within entrepreneurship education, still little is known about how effective these programs actually are and if they foster more and better entrepreneurs compared to entrepreneurship master that do not oblige VCPs in their curriculum. Therefore, this thesis aims to analyse the differences in entrepreneurial intention and b

Accelerated deterioration of the constituting materials is important for the long-term performance of bridges or any other load-bearing structure with several-decades-long service life. In addition to the economic consequences due to increased maintenance and repair needs, severe deterioration can lead to catastrophic collapses with possible injuries, life losses, and impairments to infrastructure

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Utvinning av naturgas ur skiffer ses sedan början av 2000-talet som en energikälla med växande potential på flera håll i världen. Den öländska alunskifferformationen undersöks för att utreda om det finns naturgas att utvinna på ön på grund av formationens höga organiska innehåll. Dess potential synas med tanke på utbredning och mäktighet men också eventuella mil

Den ökade internationaliseringen av företag har skapat mångkulturella arbetsplat-ser. Medarbetare måste kommunicera effektivt för att uppnå gemensamma mål, men kulturella skillnader anses ofta vara en hindrande faktor för kommunikation-en. Syftet med studien har därför varit att undersöka kulturens betydelse för den dagliga kommunikationen mellan medarbetare i internationella företag. Genom en kvaAs a result of globalization we are witnessing increasingly international work-places with employees from culturally diverse backgrounds. To achieve corporate goals and fulfill daily tasks employees at Xylem need to communicate effectively with colleagues that might not share similar frames of reference. Seeking to un-derstand the significance of cultural differences in the international workplace

This paper introduces a new framework – RoadRAT - to calculate the probability of inundation, wave runup, and storm erosion impacting coastal roads. Extreme value analysis is applied to annual maxima of observed and simulated still water level levels (SWL), total water levels (SWL + runup), and storm erosion volumes. The probability of impact on the road is derived both for the present conditions

Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) have rapidly emerged as a dominant policy instrument in Europe to accelerate urban climate transitions. PEDs target the district scale to optimise energy system performance through a combination of technical and social interventions. These activities are driven by an engineering logic that considers energy infrastructures to be rational, integrated, and governable.
