Cultural tourism and cultural heritage management, while distinct disciplines with differing foci, are also inherently intertwined. However, conflicts between the two often arise due to the diverse number of stakeholders and interests involved in either the travel industry or the conservation and protection of cultural heritage. Despite this, cultural tourism can greatly benefit the conservation o

This is a thesis about the Finnish populistic party Perussuomalaiset, in English the Finns Party. The party has become a force to be reckoned within the Finnish politics, therefore, knowing more about the Finns Party members is a must. The aim of the thesis is to map the identities of the Finns Party members and to find out why they chose this particular party. This is interesting because populism

The aviation sector's contribution to global CO2 emissions requires the exploration of sustainable energy alternatives, with hydrogen emerging as a promising candidate. Despite their potential, hydrogen aircraft propulsion systems are not yet commercially viable, primarily due to technical challenges such as cavitation in hydrogen pumps. This study aims to analyse and optimise the design of hy

Dagens textilindustri är starkt präglad av fast fashion, en global industri som bygger på stora inköp och små marginaler vilket leder till en överproduktion där 40 procent av de textilier som tillverkas globalt aldrig kommer ut på marknaden. Detta resulterar i bristande arbets- och levnadsförhållanden i produktionsländer samt enorma utsläpp. Med hjälp av politiska incitament och teknologiska framsToday's textile industry is strongly characterized by fast fashion, a global industry based on large purchases and small margins, leading to overproduction where 4 percent of the textiles produced globally never reach the market. This results in poor working and living conditions in producing countries and huge emissions. With policy incentives and technological advances, we can move towards l

ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on Sweden’s involvement in applying EU anti-dumping measures within the framework of its WTO commitments. Laying emphasis on the dilemma of liberal trade policy evident in Sweden on one hand and safeguarding its Indigenous industries from unfair competition on the other hand, this research seeks to unravel how this country fulfills its obligations to the EU and t

In the northwest of Skåne, a peninsula stretches out and tapers off out into the ocean. This is Kullahalvön, a stronghold of contrasts that swings between the dramatic and romantic. Its edge rises from the sea like armor: shaped by weather and protective of all the landscape that rests behind it. Forests, meadows,fields and beaches overlap between the old fishing villages that have grown into town

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised by motor and non-motor symptoms, including significant speech impairments. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and treatment. However, traditional diagnostic methods are often limited because they rely on subjective assessments and only detect symptoms after they have become noticeable.

This thesis explores the intersection of vernacular knowledge, modern technology and community engaging design to address the challenges posed by flooding and rising water levels in vulnerable areas. Initiated as a conceptual project for a flood resilient neighbourhood, the project evolved into a direct response to the specific needs of the DRCNAI community in Coloong, Valenzuela, Philippines. Thr

The NMDA receptors are natural glutamate binders that play critical roles in the function of the central nervous system, with their dysfunction implicated in serious psychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative conditions. Understanding their roles in the brain and developing treatments will benefit from the existence of small molecules specifically targeting different NMDA receptor subtypes. This

Pesticides or plant protection products (PPP) protect plants from harmful organisms and prevent the spread of invasive species. However, their use is not without problems, as pesticides can have harmful effects on the environment. One of these effects is reduced biodiversity, as pesticides often affect non-target organisms and change water and soil composition. Reduced diversity through the cleari

Bakgrund: HLR innebär att hjärtkompressioner och inblåsningar ska göras i händelse av ett plötsligt hjärtstopp. En legitimerad läkare får, i samråd med annan legitimerad personal, fatta beslut om att avstå HLR. Att genomföra utsiktslös HLR vid svår kronisk sjukdom, eller vid livets slut, kan leda till förlängt lidande och förlust av värdighet för patienten. Att genomföra utsiktslös HLR kan även le

This study examines how The New York Times and The Guardian framed the Mahsa Amini protests in Iran from September 2022 to September 2023. Using qualitative content analysis of 186 news articles, guided by framing theory and the protest paradigm, the study explores dominant frames, predominant themes, narratives, and depictions of protest legality and state responses. A mixed inductive-deductive c

Research of the recent years indicated that the heavy alkaline earth metals may possess a bonding behaviour similar to transition metals, where they are able to involve their d-orbitals in bonding. The exact nature of such bonds is still elusive and a point of discussion amongst researchers. To further study this, low- or zero-valent complexes of those metals are needed. The objective of this proj

Undersökning av lokalanvändning i fastigheter för undervisning Resurseffektivisering har sällan varit mer viktigt än det är idag och bygg- och fastighetsbranschen behöver göra omfattande förändringar för att anpassa sig till framtidens hållbara samhälle. För att göra detta krävs en mycket god förståelse av de behov av byggnader som faktiskt finns och hur dessa ska nyttjas, utan att förbruka ellerThis research aims to investigate the usage, problems and solutions within management of real estate used for higher education. The study is based on a case study, consisting of interviews, surveys and data analysis of specific buildings. The goal is to create an example of how a framework for exploring the usage and occupancy rates within these types of facilities can be executed. Furthermore, th

Bakgrund: Kvalificerad personal är av yttersta vikt ur ett samhällsperspektiv för att kunna erbjuda invånarna högkvalitativ vård och främjar hälsa. Handledningen till nyanställda sjuksköterskor kan ibland bli bristfällig och i värsta fall utebli vilket leder till att patientsäkerheten hotas, då nyanställda sjuksköterskor blir otrygga i sin yrkesroll. Forskning finns inom handledning och handledareBackground: Qualified personnel are of utmost importance from a societal perspective to provide residents with high-quality care and promote health. The mentoring of newly employed nurses can sometimes be inadequate and, in the worst case, absent, which threatens patient safety as new nurses become insecure in their professional roles. Research exists on mentoring and the role of the mentor, as we

Sepsis är ett livshotande tillstånd som är ett globalt problem där dödligheten är hög. Mer än 50 miljoner människor drabbas världen över, av dessa dör cirka 10 miljoner. Sepsis kan drabba människor i alla åldrar, sjukdomstillstånd samt livssituationer. Tid och behandling är ytterst viktig vid detta tillstånd då risken av att erhålla komplikationer eller död kan ske på endast några timmar. Patient

Companies face the strategic challenge of expanding into adjacent markets or areas. This often requires a choice between building internally, acquiring through purchases, or forming partnerships to address the opportunity. While extensive literature exists on each of these options individually, there is limited research on the decision-making process that evaluates all these alternatives collectiv
