Inequality has been growing in Thailand, but the consequence of inequality, intergenerational social mobility has not been studied. This research aims to provide contemporary study of intergenerational occupational mobility in Thailand during 1997-2017, and provide the first time three generations mobility by employing Townsend Thai panel data. This research employs EGP class schema for classifica
The frequency of harmful algal blooms is increasing steadily, and every summer there are phycotoxins compromising the quality of freshwater ecosystems. Although this is of rising concern, the mechanisms behind harmful algal blooms are not yet fully understood. Cyanobacteria are the usual culprits, while freshwater dinoflagellates have generally been considered non-toxic, though toxic blooms of fre
The period after birth, when an infant is initially exposed to vast amounts of environmental and microbial antigens, sets the stage for proper immune system development ensuing lifelong immunity. Simultaneous to this first-time exposure, the nursing mother provides immune protection via antibodies in the breast milk. Secretory Immunoglobulin A, as provided by the mother or produced intrinsically i
Great investments are planned in the north of Sweden the coming years, not the least in the county of Norrbotten where the projects collectively are referred to as the green transition due to the focus on fossil-free techniques. But to be able to secure a sustainable energy supply and reach the goal set by the member states of the European Union of a carbon dioxide neutral union in 2050 the produc
The historic urban area of Lisbon emerged during the Middle Ages and was the origin of the development of a rather small neighbourhood, Mouraria. Not only did it count as the centre of the capital, but because of Lisbon being the metropolis of the Portuguese empire, Mouraria is now home to a diverse group of people, whose culture influences its special characteristics to this day. Its medieval str
Black carbon (BC) is produced during incomplete combustion of Biomass and fossil fuels. BC and other carbonaceous pollutants have characteristics that affect the climate, environment, and human health. Historically, BC emissions have been measured and monitored in the atmosphere, and BC emissions to the air are quite well documented. Deposition in water and sediments has been less studied but is i
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease, linked to age, weight and joint overload. Typical symptoms include joint pain, loss of mobility and joint stiffness. The past two decades the amount of people suffering from OA has increased, and with the current trend of increasing age and weight it is expected to further increase. It is known that knee OA is correlated with the degener
Hydropower is the dominant source of electricity in Sweden, constituting 45% of the national supply. While pivotal for decarbonization and climate goals, its environmental impact on freshwater biodiversity is concerning. In this case study of a hydropower plant in Helge River, Sweden, the aim was to find a flow suitable for trout (Salmo trutta) and salmon (Salmo salar) reproduction. A terrain mode
Bakgrund: Trauma orsakar livshotande skador och står för nästan åtta procent av alla dödsfall i världen. Det initiala omhändertagandet av traumapatienter ställer krav på att snabbt identifiera, prioritera och behandla befintliga skador. Ett välfungerande traumateam resulterar i en snabbare handläggning vilket förbättrar patientens chanser till överlevnad och minskar risken för komplikationer och f
The aim of this study is to examine idyllic romanticism and pastoral ideals in Swedish children’s literature from two distinct periods of history: the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and the 21st century. During the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Sweden underwent a radical societal change from an agricultural society to an industrial one. As a response to these changes, there was an inc
Outdoor commercial furniture, particularly tables, often appears to lack well- designed products that address many concerns, including not only functionality and ergonomics but also aesthetic appeal. This study aims to investigate whether this perception reflects an actual problem and explore potential solutions. The purpose of this research is to explore the challenges associated with meeting th
This project is aiming towards designing to extend the lifespan of children’s belongings to reduce excessive owning and over consumption amongst parents. Today, there is an issue of parents of small children needing to own many of the same products that they often need to replace and exchange as the child grows older. It affects both the environment and the personal economy of the parents. The re
This study establishes itself within the Social Accounting literature, particularly in the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) string in an effort to develop the knowledge of the current Swedish market, regarding gender equality. The objective of this thesis is to offer a thorough examination of the condition of sustainability reporting on gender equality across Swedish state-owned businesses.
Climate change is one of the most significant challenges that building sector is confronting. For example, Climate change and associated extreme events are posing a significant challenge for the building sector. Buildings should be prepared to withstand the climate changes and extreme weather that will happen in the future. Designing buildings based solely on past or average weather conditions, wh
"Wasserstadt - a place of coexistence" Global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, population growth, and migration will inevitably change the way we live. Cities are conglomerates of many and, thus, are often perceived as a threat to wildlife and plant life. But what if we harnessed the potential of cities as conglomerates of people, hubs of innovation, and sustainable
Desk lamps were originally designed for reading and craftsmanship. However, with the increasing prevalence of com- puter-based work and the rise of remote and hybrid work arrangements due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our needs for lighting have evolved. This project aimed to create a versatile desk lamp suitable for both traditional tasks like reading and writing, as well as modern computer
