While a

Wildlife globally is under threat, especially in sub-saharan Africa, with poaching as a major factor. The animals are a part of a biological ecosystem and also a key for tourism and hence the economies of many African countries. To help preserve wildlife and prevent poaching, technologies such as AI cameras and dashboards offer a crucial tool. The technologies need to be purchased and distributed,
This essay explores the critiques of modernity from posthuman and Indigenous perspectives, exploring their convergences and divergences. It argues that both frameworks challenge the anthropocentric and dualistic paradigms that have historically governed Western thought. Posthumanism encourages ontological humility by recognizing the non-dual nature of existence and more-than-human agency, while In

The thesis has its theoretical starting point in environmental peacebuilding and is drawing and build
Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka fandomen bland så kallade “swifties”, det vill säga Taylor Swift-fans.

Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infections are still prevalent in humans, more prominent in immunocompromised individuals. These environmental mycobacteria are widely distributed in soil and water sources, making their exposure very common. In various organisms, phase variation enables reversible switches between avirulent and virulent states. Some strains of M. avium exhibit this visible phase
Mobile devices have expanded and increased flexibility in communication, but at the same time, they can disrupt presence and create distance and isolation between people. With the help of a qualitative interview study, the purpose of this study is to examine how mobile devices can impact communication and relationships within a family in various ways, based on the perspectives and experiences of y
This study aims to analyze how corruption affects the relationship between international trade and child development. Geographically, this study focuses on Sub-saharan Africa, since it has the highest levels of child mortality as well as the highest perceived corruption levels in the world. To evaluate this relationship, a fixed-effects model with robust standard errors has been implemented. The p
Bakgrund: Patienter som inte följer med ambulansen till akutmottagningen är ett allt vanligare inslag i ambulanssjukvården. Dock finns det en kunskapslucka kring vad som föranleder att patienter söker vård på akutmottagningen för samma problem efter att ha bedömts av ambulansen. Syfte: Belysa patienternas erfarenheter av att ej medfölja ambulanssjukvården till sjukhus och därefter på egen hand sök
Huvudsyftet med föreliggande uppsats var att studera sambandet mellan deltagande och engagemang i studentnationer och studenters känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) utifrån ett hälsofrämjande perspektiv. KASAM har i tidigare studier visats gynnas av stödjande sociala relationer och miljöer samt har en positiv effekt på psykisk hälsa. Föreliggande explorativa studie genomfördes som en webbenkät riktad tilThe main purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between participation and involvement in student nations and students’ sense of coherence (SOC) from a health promotion perspective.

This study aims to analyse how the competition in the Swedish banking market affects major banks´ net interest income, which has increased dramatically over the past two years.

This thesis explores the discursive constructions of the contemporary Swedish media debate about gangsta rap, as expressed in three debate articles published in Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet and Expressen. The study draws upon the framework of audience theory, moral panic, power and representational practice theory and othering. Through a hybrid discourse analysis, the problem representations and th
This study aimed to provide further understanding of how social workers use their own and client’s emotions in the relationship-based practice of social work. Further, we wanted to explore in which way social workers’ experiences of emotions can be understood as part of their professional practice. The study is based on a qualitative interview with eight social workers from several practices in so
Breviates are free-living, heterotrophic, anaerobic or microaerophilic amoeboflagellate protists, closely related to Opisthokonta. They possess hydrogenosomes, a subtype of anaerobically functioning, hydrogen-producing mitochondrion-related organelle, and the breviate Lenisia limosa has been reported to facultatively establish hydrogenotrophic syntrophy with Arcobacter. We believe that the interac
Lakes with increased water colour levels have been observed in many locations in the northern hemisphere, a phenomenon that is called brownification. The driving components of brownification are dissolved organic matter (DOM) and iron, which are affected by rainfall patterns as a large fraction originates from terrestrial sources. Brownification has many detrimental effects for the ecosystem, amon
