The Brazilian LGBT movement has established in the last decades a strategy of action based on the achievement of social transformations through law. The struggle for human rights has become the focal point of the LGBT agenda in the country. For this reason, the linkages between the Brazilian LGBT movement and the law have multiplied. Having the objective of reflecting on the articulations arising
This study examines how the natural world – earth, water, air, and animals – function in Jerome's Letter 108 (c. 404 CE) and the Piacenza Pilgrim's Itinerarium (c. 560-570 CE). Both late antique Christian pilgrimage narratives have been extensively analyzed for their political, architectural, and hagiographic dimensions. However, their ecological perspectives have been consistently overloo

Since pre-industrial times, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has contributed to climate change affecting all ecosystems. As a result, global and national commitments have been made to reduce emissions by enhancing the number and effectiveness of carbon sinks. To meet the national climate targets, Sweden has proposed financial compensation for forest owners who postpone harvesting. This
Through the analysis of the case of the Age of Empires IV community, this qualitative study investigates how the communal efforts of the audience can foster inclusivity, and the meaningful participation of women, in the context of contemporary video game play. Through the analysis of nine semi-structured qualitative interviews, this paper reconstructs the ‘Age of Empires IV tale’: as it evolved fr
Hogia is a development company in the software industry. One of the products they deliver is a web-based portal for the accounting and auditing industry. This portal is a platform for agencies linking communication with their customers. The portal today lacks the ability of notifying customers, for instance via email, when a new event that concerns the customer has been added. This could for examp
Climate issues are currently of attention in various contexts as changing climate factors affect us in many ways. One of these effects is the influence on the probability and frequency of fires, although other factors, especially anthropogenic ones, also play a role. In the Diyarbakir region, a Kurdish-Turkish province affected by the PKK's conflict (Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan - Kurdistan Work
The marine environment faces significant changes due to anthropogenic activities, with urbanisation and "marine sprawl" introducing artificial structures that disrupt natural ecosystems. Artificial reefs (AR) and nature-inclusive design offer solutions to enhance habitat complexity and foster ecological restoration. This thesis investigates how AR design and material properties can suppo
The demand for biofuels is increasing as a result of increased climate mitigation ambitions aiming to replace the use of fossil fuels. To meet the increasing demand, energy crops grown on agricultural land used to produce biofuels is getting more and more attention. Since agricultural land is a scarce resource, conflicts can arise between food production and biomass for biofuels, making it essenti
This paper focuses on creating macro-based adjustment factors which can be applied to the valuation of start-up companies. Since start-up companies are private, market valuations are limited to events such as funding rounds or M&A transactions, which happen only at discrete points in time. This is a drawback when compared to the continuous valuations produced in public markets, with current li
Wheat is our most cultivated grain and has been used as human food for thousands of years, but as the population increases, so does the demand for grain. Challenges that we face today are that the amount of cultivable arable land is decreasing, that climate change is affecting crop yields, while people's concerns are growing about the use of chemical pesticides. It is therefore of great intere
The European Union (EU) aims to increase the overall carbon sink through the 2030 climate and energy policy framework, which includes the newly reviewed instrument and regulation of Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF). The regulation is considered an important component in the EU climate mitigation strategy which aims to manage and track the greenhouse gas emissions and removals in sec
Bakgrund: Avdelningen International Manufacturing (IM) vid Volvo Group Trucks Operations (Volvo) i Göteborg är ansvarig för försörjning och leverans till Volvos internationella produktion. Detta genomförs genom en knock-downprocess, där färdigställda lastbilar skickas i kit för att sedan bli monterade på plats, vid den lokala fabriken. Denna försörjningskedja kräver annan anpassning och hanterar mBackground: The International Manufacturing division (IM) at Volvo Group Trucks Operations (Volvo) in Gothenburg handles the supply of Volvo’s international manufacturing efforts. This is done using knock-down manufacturing where complete trucks are sent in pieces to be assembled at location. IM’s supply chain is nonconforming in both processes and volumes, compared to the central Volvo organizati

Migration usually consists of intermittent travel and stopovers, the latter being crucially important for individuals to recover and refuel to successfully complete migration. Quantifying how sickness behaviours influence stopovers is crucial for our understanding of migration ecology and how diseases spread. However, little is known about infections in songbirds, which constitute the majority of
Local governments’ limited mandate and capacity to adequately deal with increasing climate risk and impacts means that citizen engagement is becoming increasingly important for adapting to hazards such as floods and storms. Stronger collaborative approaches are urgently needed. At the same time, there is little research and hardly any empirical evidence on what inspires adaptation engagement in di
Over the years several models have been developed to describe hydrophobic pervaporation. The different approaches can be generally classified as process-orientated or membrane-orientated. Among these models the resistance-in-series model (RSM) has a unique position since it combines process conditions with membrane parameters. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the extension of the RSM to c
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the Western world. In Sweden, 1 in 9 women will be diagnosed during their lifetime, amounting to >8,000 new breast cancers per year. Each year around 1,400 patients die from their disease. A comprehensive report entitled "highlighted several areas in need of more research", including how weight, alcohol consumption, smoking, host metabolism an
Background: Atopic eczema (also known as eczema) is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that often afflicts patients’ health and well-being. The Harmonising Outcome Measures for Eczema (HOME) initiative recommends that ‘long-term control of eczema’ is measured in all clinical trials 3 months or longer in duration. However, little has been published on what eczema control means to those living w
Within the context of understanding the opening up of the People’s Republic of China and the city of Shanghai, the aim of the study is to explore ‘space’ in Chinese Communist Party rhetoric, Shanghai spatial planning discourse and personal intercultural engagements. By the term ‘space’, the author refers to an understanding of societal production that integrates space as part of the analysis, taki
