This thesis investigates the role of trust in the context of decentralised finance (DeFi). Representing a new paradigm shift in finance, DeFi emerge from the technological developments that we have witnessing in the last decades, particularly decentralised ledger technologies (DLTs) of which Blockchain is perhaps the most popular. DeFi is changing the way that firms raise financial capital and a c

The increased demand, driven by a growing population and changing dietary habits, has created immense pressure on agroecosystems throughout the globe. In semi-arid areas, this increased pressure has led to excessive use of agrochemicals in agriculture, which poses a threat of potentially toxic metal (PTM) contamination in agricultural soils. PTMs in agricultural soils result in significant environ

The feasibility of different options to reduce the risks of climate change has engaged scholars for decades. Yet there is no agreement on how to define and assess feasibility. We define feasible as “do-able under realistic assumptions.” A sound feasibility assessment is based on causal reasoning; enables comparison of feasibility across climate options, contexts, and implementation levels; and ref

De vanligaste kontakterna under vikingatiden ur ett svenskt perspektiv gick österut. Miljontals islamiska mynt flödade in i Skandinavien från Nordafrika, kalifatet och det samanidiska herraväldet i Centralasien. Deras ursprung varierade, och silverströmmens kronologi gör det möjligt att beskriva föränderliga relationer mellan aktörerna. Några välkända artefakter från samma riktning kom till Skandi

Globalisation is characterised not only by long-distance exchange by commodities and people, but also by a microbial unification of the world (une unification microbienne du monde), as was described by Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie in the 1970s. Proof of microbial unification can be seen through the dramatic consequences of the Black Death in the 14th century CE as well as the Covid-19 pandemic, which i

Capitulation is wisdom - not defeat! The aim of this study has been an attempt to clarify how parents of children with neuropsychiatric disabilities such as autism, Down syndrome and intellectual disability manage to cope in their everyday life despite the high levels of stress and long term strain it involves being a parent and a caretaker of such a child. We focused our study on the family as a

Color is the most obvious and easily determined soil property that can provide crucial information about soil composition. The NIX™ Pro color sensor (Nix) presents a user-friendly alternative to the traditional Munsell manual method, with reduced sensitivity to environmental and human factors. Therefore, a new method was developed to use Nix in combination with machine learning to quickly and affo

Politicians and public relations practitioners need to consciously and strategically communicate on Twitter not only during elections, but also during incumbency. However; previous approaches to PR failed to offer candidates successful long-term strategies. In addition, political PR research underestimated the influence of the characteristics of Twitter on the tone and the rhetoric of political co

This thesis mainly explores how the molecular mobility of lipid and protein components in the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum (SC), varies with different conditions and upon adding foreign compounds. These studies require methods that makes it possible to detect and characterize the minor amount of fluid components in the highly ordered solid SC sample with resolved molecular info

By building a strong brand that is favourably perceived by target customers, a firm can establish a competitive advantage that enables greater revenues and profitability. This is at least what the branding literature always has assumed, and something few marketing and brand managers seem to disagree with. When asked how exactly a brand can be charged with such great value, however, neither academi
