This research analyzes the political engagement of Turkish citizens on Twitter, in which underrepresented groups and individuals search for democratic public space to mobilize against injustice. With this in mind, the study focuses on the civic engagement of Turkish citizens on Twitter with the hashtag #istanbulsözleşmesiyaşatır, which translates to‘istanbulconventionsaveslives’. The hashtag is a

Education has the potential to play a critical role in the sustainable transformation of society which is needed to limit the consequences of the multiple ecological crises society is facing. While this has been recognised internationally at least since 1992, not a lot has been done within the Danish educational system to address issues of climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainability with

Turkey, the country of failed and "successful" military coups, experienced the latest coup attempt on July 15, 2016, in which it is still unclear how, why, and by whom it originated. However, after this critical event, Turkish media and critical journalists were subjected to very strict censorship and repression. Hundreds of journalists were arrested for their views, and many had to flee

The study examines the role of smartphones as both a media technology and media practice in the context of the war between Ukraine and Russia starting in 2022. Focusing on Ukrainian civilians, who constitute one of the most networked societies, the research explores the extent and quality of smartphone technology's pervasiveness, evolving social dynamics and experiences shaped by smartphone-me

Analysis of alternative splicing has provided valuable information for multiple types of cancer, including breast cancer in recent years. Alternative splicing has been suggested to be one of the hallmarks for cancer, as dysregulation of the normal splicing process governs many aspects of cancer cell biology. For several genes previously associated with cancer, specific variants and their effect on

Biological invasion is one of the main drivers of species extinctions. Therefore, measures are implemented to reduce the abundance of the invading species with the goal to mitigate its impact. These measures often lead to high labour and economic expenditures yet their effectiveness are often uncertain. To evaluate and thereby improve the mitigation of invasions, it is essential to understand the

This study represents the first large scale assessment of the ichthyofaunal biodiversity in Gansbaai, Souuth Africa by using BRUV (Baited Remote Underwater Video) in the bay. Results show that the bay supports a diverse and abundant fish community, including several species that are of conservation concern. Forty species from 22 families were recorded across 89 sample sites across three habitat ty

Abstrakt Antalet vårdplatser per invånare i Sverige har minskat de senaste 20 åren. Akutmottagningarna har fått en ökad belastning. Sjuksköterskornas arbetsuppgifter är många och av olika karaktär, allt från att ta hand om enklare symtom till plötslig död. Arbetet kan vara kroppsligt tung och psykiskt påfrestande. Akutmottagningarna har hög personalomsättning och sänkta kompetenskrav vid nyanställAbstract The number of care places per resident in Sweden has decreased in the last 20 years. A consequence of this has been that the emergency department have had an increased work load. The tasks of an emergency room nurse are stimulating as well as challenging. Multiple tasks of various nature ranging from addressing simple symptoms to acute and sudden death. The work may be physically hard

High intensity focused ultrasound is a growing technique for tissue ablation, among other uses, and given its destructive capabilities, there is a need for control of where the energy is delivered. There exist a number of methods for focusing such ultrasound arrays, but these often assume prior knowledge of the impulse response, or require extensive full-system simulations. This thesis explores sc

This study arises from an existential concern that there is an obliviousness in academia with regards to the recent eruption of the transhumanist movement–an ideological force imbued with potentially calamitous socioecological consequences. With the support from recent claims that the transhumanist ideology exerts powerful influence on Western politics, this study seeks to investigate how the tran

This paper examines constructions of nature as communicated in three films by outdoor company Patagonia. By employing discourse analysis and the theory of spectacle, the films are seen to construct nature as wilderness and thus apart from humans. Speaking as an authority on the matter, Patagonia suggests wilderness ideals as a method of conservation. Together with representations of nature as spec

Both C-N and C-C bond formation reactions are fundamental part of synthetic chemistry and have been widely studied for the past several decades and will most likely continue to do so in the future. In this project, I report a base catalyzed transition metal-free C-N and C-C bond formation reactions from abundant and green substrates with sustainable chemistry in mind. Previous methods uses either

Stone tools define earlier prehistory but the extent of their usage in later periods remains uncertain, as the archaeological community tends to focus on trademark materials from respective time periods. Accordingly, usage of chipped stone such as quartz and flint in later periods, tends to be ignored or regarded as residual from earlier Stone age activities, resulting in that valuable knowled

This paper investigates the effects on inflation of the Quantitative Easing programme employed by the Swedish Riksbank during the years 2015-2019. As previous studies have presented contradicting results on the topic, this paper aims to evaluate the potential effect of asset purchases on inflation through some of the main transmission channels identified by prevailing literature, namely the exchan

This thesis report treats my individual project “The Filter”, a result from the Bachelor Studio Contemporary Architecture at the faculty of Engineering at Lund University. The report describes my design and concept process. I Investigated how to design a Filter that demonstrates the natural cleaning process, and how to design the other parts of the naturrum. The report displays how the design deci

The goal of this thesis is to answer the question: Will a special cash dividend announcement from a company on NASDAQ GS create abnormal returns? This thesis will therefore find and measure abnormal returns surrounding a special cash dividend announcement. This is done by performing an event study, following the market model, consisting of 96 announcements from companies listed on the Nasdaq GS. T

In this essay, I will examine what Origen of Alexandria believed about the resurrection of the body. Origen was condemned as a heretic at the Second Council of Constantinople in 553, one of the main reasons for this was that he was said to deny the physical resurrection of the body. Due to the condemnation of Origen, the work of copying his works was also stopped, with the result that many of Orig

Over recent decades, use of insecticides to protect plants from pests and harmful insects have increased manyfold. Neonicotinoid insecticides, such as Imidacloprid (IMI) acts as partial agonists on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors which are widely present in both the central and peripheral nervous system of insects. Pollinators like Eristalis tenax are frequently exposed to these pesticides but h

Background: Sweden has a long-standing tradition of youth-friendly services focusing on sexual, reproductive and mental health. Currently, they are mainly targeting and being used by girls and young women. Little is known about what motivates and prevents boys and young men from seeking out and utilising health services, including the youth clinics. This study therefore aimed to investigate factor

Detta arbete är en översättningsvetenskaplig analys som baseras på översättningen av ett utdrag ur Simon Winchesters Atlantic: A Vast Ocean of a Million Stories, utgiven 2010. Första delen utgörs av en inledning, där boken och författaren presenteras översiktligt. Andra delen består av en källtextanalys efter analysmodellen i Lennart Hellspong och Per Ledins Vägar genom texten (1997). Tredje delen
