A method to determine the binder content in small samples of cementitious material is presented. Microstructural measurements such as sorption balance measurements or TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) require small samples; therefore cement paste is often used instead of mortar or concrete to get representative samples. However, normalizing measured results to a common basis, such as the binder con

Two radiopharmaceuticals, 99Tcm-hexamethyl propylene amine oxime (99Tcm-HMPAO) and 99Tcm-ethyl cysteinate dimer (99Tcm-ECD), are currently used to determine cerebral blood flow. 99Tcm-ECD is, by virtue of its greater stability, superceding 99Tcm-HMPAO for routine examinations. Since the clinical assessment of 99Tcm-ECD images is usually based on experience with 99Tcm-HMPAO, we used both radiopharm

Objective. To study the effects of alternating cold and hot water therapy on walking ability and systolic blood pressure in claudicants. Experimental design. A prospective case study with repeated measurements before and 1, 4 and 12 months after treatment. The systolic blood pressure levels were measured with an occlusion cuff for brachial and ankle and with a strain gauge for the first toe. Study

As a working group named AGAR is currently looking into replacements and complements to Stibor, the subject of reference rates will become increasingly relevant in the coming years. This paper therefore investigates Stibor as well as future options for a Swedish reference rate, consolidating information of and opinions on reference rates in Sweden, primarily through the review of previous literatu

This thesis explores the effect on neonatal, post-neonatal, and child mortality of being a motherless child and the interaction this situation had with socio-economic status and gender in Sweden during the period 1790-1910. Using a longitudinal, individual level, database (SwedPop), covering large parts of the Swedish population, together with a Cox proportional hazards model, this study finds tha

Understanding how plants allocate time between the green-up and senescence phases within a growing season is critical for assessing vegetation responses to environmental change. This thesis investigates the spatiotemporal patterns of the time allocation fraction, defined as the ratio of green-up duration to senescence duration (RGS), across the Tibetan Plateau from 1982 to 2018. Phenological metri

This research analyses the communication strategies of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) and Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades on Telegram following the October 7th, 2023, attack. Focusing on 40 images and videos posted between October and December 2023, it investigates how visual content is used to perform violence, shape narratives, and legitimise actions. The study adopts a qualitative, social construct

Extreme heat is not neutral. In Athens, the dense urban environment and harsh summer climate disproportionately impact the socio-economically marginalized. This research bridges the gap between climate data and human experience by uniting geospatial and qualitative survey data regarding heatwaves in Athens Municipality, with urban heat island research, vulnerability theory and climate justice. Sat

This thesis examines how individuals form and enact political vegan identity through everyday practice, and the role digital media platforms play in mediating that process. Drawing on 12 semi-structured interviews with vegan participants across 4 groups defined by age and length of vegan practice – New Sprouts, Early Roots, Late Bloomers, and The Oakes – the study traces the specific processes thr

Indigenous Peoples' Lands (IPL) cover approximately one quarter of the Earth’s land surface and play a potentially significant role in sustaining terrestrial moisture flows (TMF). Yet, understanding of how they contribute to regional hydrological cycles remains limited. Building on a global-scale study suggesting a buffering role of IPL in West African precipitation during the dry season, this

After several years of broad support for the European Green Deal (EGD), a significant number of communities and politicians are calling on the EU and Member States to slow down its green measures and focus on ‘other’ crises, most notably the cost-of-living crisis.This White Paper argues that environmental, social and economic crises can’t be looked at in isolation. And that addressing today’s ‘pol

Biodiversity hotspots are biogeographic regions exceptionally rich in endemic species showing high rates of habitat loss, making them the priority of global conservation efforts. As part of the biodiversity hotspot with the highest density of endemic species, the West Usambara Mountains in Tanzania require an efficient and resourceful monitoring solution. This thesis aimed to model the tree specie

Canopy cover is widely recognized as an important factor for mitigating extreme heat events in cities. The EU Regulation on Nature Restoration further emphasizes this, requiring urban areas to increase their canopy cover. However, the vertical complexity of urban trees is another significant factor for cooling, and moreover beneficial for biodiversity. The purpose of this study is to investigate t

Against the backdrop of rising technological nationalism, geopolitical censorship, and cross-cultural trust pressures, Chinese technology brands face new legitimacy challenges in their overseas communication. For Huawei, directly emphasizing technological capabilities and product performance may not effectively build trust and could instead trigger defensive interpretations within a politicized co
