Increasing CO₂ emission is considered as the main reason for global warming in the world. One of the reasons for producing CO₂ is using of fossil-based materials in the construction projects. This study intends to assess the using bio-based materials instead of fossil-based materials for the thermal insulation layer of the external walls and roofs. Another focus of this project is using green conc

This paper analyses sexuality and relationship education (SRE) in a Swedish college programme aimed at young people with mobility impairments. Interviews and focus groups were conducted to explore students’ experiences of the structure, content and usefulness of SRE, and college personnel’s SRE practices. Results show that, although many of the issues covered are pertinent for all young people, beThis paper analyses sexuality and relationship education (SRE) in a Swedish college programme aimed at young people with mobility impairments.

Policy on greening freight constitutes a recent addition to the discourse on sustainability in the EU. To stimulate economic growth, the EU also plans for freight transport activity to grow significantly over the coming decades. In this paper, drawing on critical discourse analysis and Marxian geographical thought, I show how the argument for implementing sustainable freight is constructed in EU fPolicy on greening freight constitutes a recent addition to the discourse on sustainability in the EU.

In response to growing geopolitical tensions, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the stagnation of multilateralism, the EU has increasingly turned to

The Arctic has increasingly emerged as a geopolitical horizon shaped by environmental, security and economic transformations. As sea ice melts and military and commercial interests materialise, questions arise about how the region is discursively constructed by various stakeholders.

However, research on the concept of daily deal consumer behaviour has been somewhat limited in the context of online shopping, especially regarding empirica

Gut microbiota play a central role in metabolism for example in blood glucose homeostasis and appetite regulation. This thesis provides a prospect of using the bacterium Prevotella copri as a probiotic to help maintain a healthy gut microbiota as many evidences points towards probiotics to have a great potential as preventative agents or therapeutics for type 2 diabetes. In the first part of the tAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO) nearly 8.5% of the global population is affected by metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity which are one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide. This causes a huge financial burden on the healthcare system globally. Therefore, there is an urgent need to prevent, delay and treat these diseases and their debilitating com

This paper investigates how multilingual speakers may recognize compounds, focusing on the theory that a multilingual recognizes a compound equivalent of a compound faster than a monomorphemic equivalent of a compound. To test this, I administered a translation recognition task to native speakers of Swedish who spoke English as their first L2. The informants were shown the pairs in sequence and ei

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the possibility of application of the cluster based rural development approach in Armenia to promote its structural transformation. Case study was selected as a research methodology, and both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed. Analysis of the key findings from the ‘field’, i.e. - the potential cluster, shows that rural households pract
