Due to the focus of their study program, environmental and sustainability students are vulnerable to experience negative emotional impacts, potentially affecting their mental health. This thesis contributes to increased understanding of emotions and emotional resilience in relation to the climate crisis by examining experienced emotions, studying the power students have over their emotions, and po
Denna studie undersöker och jämför tre filmer från 1900-talet om Jeanne d'Arc ur ett historiekulturellt perspektiv. Filmerna ifråga är Carl Th. Deyers "La passion de Jeanne d'Arc" (1928), Victor Flemings "Joan of Arc" (1948) och Luc Bessons "The Messenger: the Story of Joan of Arc"(1999). Studien nyttjar Klas-Göran Karlssons teorier om historiekultur och histo
As the need to adapt to a changing climate and the political rhetoric in this regard are growing, Berlin’s Senate has issued strategic policies – complemented by an increase of funding. Berlin’s socio-cultural features and place-based factors seem predisposed for so-called “Nature-based Solutions” (NbS) that can support the achievement of adaptation efforts. This encouraging context seems to be co
Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. Despite efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG), the emissions contribution from global aviation is set to increase. Electric aviation has emerged as an alternative which could form part of the solution. Sweden, which is on the path to carbon neutrality and has a long history in aviation, could contribute to the global efforts in mitigating clim
Global warming is a very much researched and debated topic in the current period as we can see the effects around us. The literature and discussions have pointed to a surface temperature rise of up to 10°C at the poles and around 4°C-7°C around the equator. The effect is more in the northern hemisphere than in southern hemisphere of our planet Earth. The effects of the warming of our environment o
Sustainability philosophers claim that we are at the impasse of stories, finding ourselves in a blank chapter between the old and the new. The old story, characterized by separation, technological arrogance and human superiority over nature, is unfolding in an ecological crisis giving space for a new narrative defined by inter being, cooperation and balance. It has been put forward that this crisi
This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of how individuals, in an organizational context, experience the process of unlearning in relation to routines and how these individuals might be influenced in their unlearning process.
På en testuppställning med 5 mikrorektorer, utfördes en serie kinetiska tester. Uppställningen möjliggör matning av variabla koncentrationer av metanol, vatten, dimetoxymetan och CO. Även reaktionstemperatur och tryck in i rektorerna är justerbart. Rektorerna är parallella och matas en i taget, vilket gör att 5 prover kan testas under samma förhållanden utan avbrott. Begränsningar på grund av massA series of kinetic experiments were performed using a custom made 5-micro reactor setup. The setup allows for input of varying concentration of methanol, water, dimethoxymethane and O2, and adjustable reaction temperature, and pressure. The reactors are used in sequence, to allow5 different samples to be tested under the same conditions. The influence of mass and heat transport limitations were c
Cerebral Palsy, commonly referred to as CP, is a neurological disorder that results in loss or impairment of motor function, which affects body movement, muscle control, muscle coordination and balance. In Sweden, about 200 children are diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy every year and the disorder can cause imbalances between the muscles. These imbalances can lead to contractures which is equiva- lent
Title Physiotherapeutic interventions for the treatment of shoulder dysfunction after neck dissection – a literature review Background Neck dissection is a surgical procedure used in treatment of head and neck cancer. Shoulder dysfunction and pain are common consequences due to this procedure. The physiotherapeutic treatment of the shoulder is both important to prevent adhesive capsulitis and res
Principen om skyldigheten att skydda är kontroversiell och har varit det sedan International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty introducerade principen. Principen antogs enhälligt av Förenta Nationernas medlemsstater 2005 och verkade vara ett nytt sätt att skydda medmänskliga värden. Principen om skyldigheten att skydda används för att skydda befolkningen inom stater där staterna sjäThe responsibility to protect is a controversial principle and has been ever since it was introduced by the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty in 2001. Unanimously adopted by the United Nations member states in 2005 the principle seemed to be a new way of protecting humanitarian values. To protect the citizens of states when the states themselves are unwilling or unable
Potato protein is an industrial side product with highly desirable properties which can be utilized if the toxic glycoalkaloids can be removed in a gentle way which doesn’t damage the protein. The challenge within this project is to find an extraction technique efficient enough to remove the toxic glycoalkaloids, but still mild enough to preserve the protein from denaturation. Supercritical CO2 ex
3D printing of metal components is a growing industry where the demand of highly precise and complicated geometrical metal structures are met. Höganäs is with its Digital Metal department one of the few companies that do 3D-printing by powder bed ink-jet technique. In this technique a binding material is needed in order to retain the designated structure until sintering. In this project a 316 L g
By combining a legal doctrinal study and an empirical interview study, this thesis examines the implementation of the right to access to justice under article 13 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities for persons who due to post-traumatic stress syndrome have difficulties accounting for their stories in asylum proceedings. The starting point is that persons with PTSD likely w
To find the optimal by-pass road alignment in the Tlokweng Planning Area in Botswana, a multi-criteria spatial-based model is developed using the GIS-MCE approach. In respect to the environmental impact assessment (EIA) approach, in this research a set of criteria is classified under 3 themes – economic, environmental and social. To determine the criterion and theme weights and perform their aggre
The concept of industrial symbiosis (IS) provides practical solutions for resource efficiency and low-carbon development. The IS represents a collective, multi-industrial approach for companies to improve their economic and environmental performance through the sharing of heat, electricity, water, by-products, information, and reuse of waste. The main challenges to IS emergence include a long dura
The issue of pharmaceutical pollution has recently gained attention on the international political agenda as several actors have raised concern for its negative impact on ecosystems, human health, and livelihoods in emerging economies where an increasing share of the pharmaceutical production is located due to the cheaper labor and less stringent environmental regulations. In 2019, the OECD publis
This study assessed the work of individuals, organizations and the state in the promotion of women’s right to education after the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. It drew from the theories of feminism and masculinity as well as Feminist Security Studies and gender and development studies. In order to achieve its objective, the study adopted a triangulated research method which involved Discourse Ana
Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, a polar ocean specialist, thrives in the Antarctic severe physical conditions. The krill life cycle consists of strategies that have enabled and supported the species’ dominance of the Antarctic Ocean. Sea Ice extent and duration creates condition that are crucial for survival of the Furcilia larvae. The species has flexibility to food resources and is omnivorou
