Glaciala sediment- och landformskonstellationer har länge använts för att rekonstruera inlandsisens dynamik och rörelser under Kvartärperioden, specifikt så för den senaste glaciationen i norra Europa och södra Skandinavien. En sådan sediment- och landformskonstellation är ’småkullig morän’, som tidigare har använts som en övergripande och beskrivande term starkt associerad med dödisutsmältning ocGlacial sediment-landform assemblages have long been used to reconstruct the dynamics of ice sheets throughout the Quaternary time period, particularly so for the period of the last glaciation in northern Europe and southern Scandinavia. One such sediment-landform assemblage is hummocky moraine, which has previously been used as an all-encompassing descriptive terminology strongly associated with

A growing body of literature within political ecology is concerned with the exercise of political and economic power within climate change policies (Robbins, 2020). In this thesis, I explore the political economy of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), using methodological reflections and empirical material from a case study of a Ugandan smallholder agricultural community. To assess how local communit

Acoustophoresis is a cell separation technology where particles or cells are suspended in a fluid container and subject to acoustic standing waves. The standing waves exerts an acoustic radiation force on the particles, pushing them towards the nodal plane. This movement is called migration, and the migration velocity depends on the acoustic mobility of the particle, which depend on the particle s

Potatoes Solanum tuberosum, L are among the most consumed crop type by millions of people around the world. It has high amount of starch content and it is known to be a good source of potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C and fiber. There are more than 4000 varieties of potatoes. Salome, Ditta and Asterix cultivars are among well-known potatoes in the Swedish market. In recent years the consumption of

This thesis is written within the Master Program of the School of social work at the University of Lund. It comprehends a study of the pre-school personal appreciation about the pedagogical material -Children picture book- for pre-school education in the municipality of Gävle. The methodology of the study is the focus-group approach with slither tone of attitude study. This method help in order to

Ever since 1987 the Lord’s Resistant Army (LRA), a theocratic rebel force, has been abducting children in Uganda to partake in the conflict against the Ugandan government and its forces. The children’s lives are drastically changed in a matter of minutes; they are suddenly forced to whiteness and take part in ruthless brutalities. Some of them live for months, others for years, under dictatorial r

In Swedish hospitals, medical emergency teams, including nurse anaesthetists, are called in the event of a cardiac arrest. Previous research shows that nurses feel ill-prepared for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) events. The quality of teamwork is considered the key to safe and effective treatment of the critically ill patient. Aim: To describe nurse anaesthetists’ experiences of teamwork duri

In Africa, women's status in politics, their economic standard and their position within social hierarchies and practices is subordinated to that of men. The aim of this thesis is to examine how colonialism, liberation ideology and women's movements have influenced the empowerment of women in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique and attempt to account for why women in South Africa have at

Climate change poses significant challenges, demonstrated by climate threats that are becoming increasingly severe and frequent. This creates a higher need for uncertainty communication that considers risk-based decision-making. Global climate research, synthesised by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is a starting point for regional climate assessments, for which the Swedish M

Spent grain (BSG) is the solid residue obtained during brewing containing leftover malt and adjuncts. Though nutrient-dense, it is found to negatively impact texture and colour when used its raw form as an ingredient in food. Bio-processing presents an interesting method to alter the structure of BSG, rendering it a possible novel food ingredient to increase the nutrient capacity of products along

Motivation is a hot topic in the corporate world and managers are searching for ways to motivate the workers in order to improve performance. Profit-seeking organizations are able to control the workers motivation and actions, because they are usually in higher power and employees are often dependent on the organization for monetary reasons (Sayer, 2007). But what about managers in voluntary organ

Resulting from CSO critique of the Paris Declaration signatories of the Accra Agenda committed themselves to deepen CSO engagement in national aid effectiveness. Therefore the purpose herein is to increase understanding over functions, mechanisms, hindrances and opportunities facing CSO in this process in Tanzania. The primary method for achieving this was semi-structured interviews with 21 perso

The purpose of this thesis is to find a model, which is based on economic variables that can forecast the cotton price better than commonly used benchmark models. A vector error correction model is used because of the existence of non-stationary variables and one cointegration relation in the data. Two types of forecasting methods are used for out-of sample predictions. The dynamic forecasting in

In the aftermath of 9/11, a heightened development of security provisions within the United States of America (US) has been observed. This thesis seeks to study how these security provisions have influenced the process of a securitization of migration and the conceptualization of migrants within the US. This research paper applies Foucault’s notion of biopower to study this issue by examining risk

Merparten studier som har undersökt hur nattjour påverkar prestation, hälsa och säkerhet, har genomförts i USA där det är vanligt med mycket långa arbetsveckor och arbetspass. Aktuell studie avsåg undersöka effekter av nattjour beträffande kognitiv funktion, riskutsatthet och belastning, under förhållanden representativa för svensk sjukvårdsorganisation. I studien deltog 30 läkare i södra Sverige,Most studies examining how on call duty nighttime affects performance, health and safety, were conducted in the United States where long working weeks and shifts are common. The current study examined the effects of on call duty nighttime on physician´s performance and strain under conditions representative for Swedish healthcare organization. The study enrolled 30 physicians from southern Sweden,

Introduction: Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is a process that occurs often in biological environments, and elastin is a protein that utilizes it to form elastic fibres. Understanding elastin’s LLPS is very helpful for creating new biomaterials and researching diseases, where LLPS occurs. Background: The coacervation of elastin is widely researched, but the combination effects of salt, hea

The ongoing urban transformation in Kiruna is one of the most extensive relocation projects in modern history. While the type of great challenges, filled with uncertainties both for planners and the local community exist within most urban planning situations, the Kiruna example provides an extreme, and a particularly obvious case that makes it interesting to illustrate the reinvention of a town ca
