State-controlled social media platforms can result in authoritarian soft power assets when the users' mediated communication extends across borders. Especially in times of hostile conflict and narrative divide, these transnational communication networks – without the coordination of the authoritarian state – can promote authoritarian narratives to non-domestic audiences when multilingual users

Dating the bottommost section of an ice core is often complicated by strong layer thinning and possible disturbances in the stratigraphy. The radioactive decay of atmospherically produced 36Cl and 10Be can provide age estimates, where traditional methods can no longer be used. In this study, we investigated ice from the bottom of the Skytrain ice core, which was drilled in West Antarctica next to

This study explores how everyday ferry travel in transit spaces create experiences through the interplay of mundane and extraordinary interactions, focusing on the Øresundslinjen ferry between Helsingborg, Sweden, and Helsingør, Denmark. Drawing on the concepts of mundane tourism, the new mobilities paradigm, tourist gaze, and service-scape theories were used to examine the social, spatial, and em

Sexual conflict over mating has been documented in many species, both in the field and in experimental studies. In pond damselflies (family Coenagrionidae), sexual conflict maintains female-limited color polymorphisms, with one female morph typically being a male mimic. However, it is not known whether sexual conflict can also explain the evolutionary origin of novel female morphs, and if so, what

Denna uppsats närmar sig svenskt plein-air måleri i Fontainebleau och inom konstnärskolonin Grèz-sur-Loing från slutet av 1800-talet genom längtans lins. Med utgångspunkt i temat nostalgi och apodemialgi – längtan hem och längtan att bort – undersöks landskapsmåleriet och hur det visualiserar teman om natur och modernitet. Denna tid av exil är en viktig punkt i svensk konsthistoria eftersom den haThis thesis examines late 19th-century Swedish plein-air painting in Fontainebleau and within the artists’ colony Grèz-sur-Loing through the lens of longing. Drawing on the theme of nostalgia and apodemialgia—longing for home and the longing to leave—it investigates how landscape painting visualizes themes of nature and modernity. This time of exile is an important point in Swedish art history as

Green ammonia synthesis from nitrogen via photocatalysis and electrocatalysis has emerged as a pivotal research focus in sustainable chemical processes. The efficient catalytic reduction of nitrogen necessitates concurrent nitrogen activation and hydrogen evolution suppression, representing a significant challenge. In this study, CuAu bimetallic-modified TiO2 catalysts were developed and engineere

The laminate flooring company Pergo (Europe) AB has during the last years identified an increasing market demand for customized flooring solutions. In the autumn of 2004 Pergo had no standardized product offer and the existing administrative process was not suited to produce and deliver customized products. Experiments concerning a new décor production technique with extensive potential based on d

Följande rapport är en del av kursen Brandteknisk Riskvärdering vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Projektet inriktar sig på Kulturmejeriet i Lund där ett platsbesök genomfördes för att senare kunna analysera personsäkerheten vid förekomst av brand. . Efter analys av personsäkerheten presenteras några förslag till förbättringar. För att utvärdera brandrisken genom representativa brandscenarier i byggn

Den 30 juni 2022 trädde nya lagförändringar i kraft efter att förslaget om reformerad arbetsrätt antagits. En av lagförändringarna var 12 a § i lag (2012:854) om uthyrning av arbetstagare. Denna innebär att kundföretag ska erbjuda tillsvidareanställning för inhyrda arbetstagare som utfört arbete åt företaget på samma driftsenhet i sammanlagt mer än 24 månader under en 36-månaderperiod. Lagförändri

Many theorists have argued that vision and geometry have been given too much precedence within architecture and architectural representation. This thesis uses feminist theory that criticizes the way that space and the future traditionally have been represented. It discusses how the tools that architects use to describe space and future, can affect the how they think. The starting point for the dis

I takt med att antalet geoparker och tillgängliga geologiska besöksmål ökar föds ett behov av att förstå hur dessa kan användas för att öka den geologiska kunskapen i samhället. Ett av syftena med geoparker är att främja utbildning om hållbar utveckling och bevarande av både geologiska arv och Jorden. De senaste åren har tre svenska geoparker certifierats nationellt eller internationellt och ytterAs the number of geoparks and available geological tourist destinations increases there is also a need to understand how these can be used to increase geological knowledge in society. One of the purposes of geoparks is to promote education about sustainable use and protection of both geological heritages and Earth itself. In recent years in Sweden, three geoparks have been nationally or internatio

Sammanfattningsvis kan om bestämmelserna i tysk och svensk rätt sägas att de är tämligen lika varandra i rekvisiten och deras utläggning, dock med skillnaden att de tyska rekvisiten tycks tolkas striktare. Därmed slutar de huvudsakliga likheterna, och de många skillnaderna tar vid. Inget av den tyska rättens två brott (Verleumdung och üble Nachrede) motsvarar direkt det svenska förtalsbrottet, och

Older and normally more low-scale buildings are from a historical and cultural perspective in need to be preserved. But these older buildings are often also perceived as contributing to more beauty-oriented values to an urban environment, so called charm. For these reasons, new building development projects should be designed in such a way that these qualities are not destroyed. This study has thr

As a part of the GrönNano project at Luleå University of Technology, a sustainable drainage system, composed of infiltration surfaces and a wale,has been subject to hydrological measurements and modeling. The aim of this study was to identify the conditions under which it is possible to model the hydrological processes of that system adequately, using the two-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling soft

Many primary care professionals manage injection or infusion therapies in patients with diabetes. Few published guidelines have been available to help such professionals and their patients manage these therapies. Herein, we present new, practical, and comprehensive recommendations for diabetes injections and infusions. These recommendations were informed by a large international survey of current

OBJECTIVES: Patients diagnosed with RA have been at an increased risk of many cancers and at a decreased risk of some cancers. We planned to revisit the theme by using a nation-wide population of RA patients.METHODS: An RA research database was constructed by identifying hospitalized RA patients from the Hospital Discharge Register and cancer patients from the Cancer Registry. Earlier studies from

Second cancers were studied among 68,104 cases of colorectal cancer (CRC) from the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. A total of 1,113 patients received a diagnosis of second CRC; 25 of them had a family history of CRC. Cases of second CRC with a family history were diagnosed up to 10 years before sporadic cases. The relative risk (RR) of all second CRCs was 2.21 compared with the first CRC. Familial
