Menopause is a transitional process often hidden from society. Menopause can have varying degrees of effects on individuals, however there are possible enormous effects which can have impacts on individuals personal and professional lives. The following thesis explores menopause as a sociological phenomenon. The research specifically looks into how experiences of menopause appear in the workplace
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
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
Anthropogenic activities such as hydropower exploitation have been one of the main drivers of anadromous fish biodiversity loss during the past century. This has led to genetic homogenization and to the reduction of positive mechanisms such as the “portfolio effect”. In this study we propose the first comprehensive analysis of the genetic differences in Salmo salar and Salmo trutta populations in
The European Union’s Sustainable Finance Agenda has launched several new actions in order to reorient capital flow of the financial market to sustainability objectives. One of these initiatives was to unify and harmonize the rules on marketing of sustainable aims of financial products. Financial Market Participant, including institutional investors, are obligated to disclose their due diligence po
Sweden’s old-growth forests are disappearing due to the ever-increasing demand for timber. To protect them from logging, a specific articulation of environmental activism has gained momentum in recent years: biodiversity inventorying. Citizens (inventoryers) visit forests registered for logging to look for endangered species and turn their observation data into a powerful weapon of nature conserva
The language of newspapers in the public sphere has a crucial impact on how the public perceives and participates in society. It can serve to encourage or counteract active and informed citizens; in fact, it is a crucial element in democratisation processes. The purposes of the present study are to elucidate what means of persuasion are used to support theses on politics in newspaper discourse dur
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
The stability of therapeutic proteins is crucial for maintaining their efficacy and safety. Misfolded or aggregated proteins can accelerate aggregation by a seeding effect, altering protein stability and interactions. Heat-induced aggregates can pose a risk because they can have perturbed structures that expose aggregate-prone regions. This study explored seeding by heat-induced protein aggregates
This research departs from two domains within the research field of consumer culture theory (CCT), Consumer Identity Projects and Marketplace Cultures. The goal was to add insights to the field by investigating social distinction through exploration of a context that traditionally has been characterized as being democratic and folksy. This research will study speciality coffee consumers as they di
This thesis explores the resurgence of Native American identity. Scholars have observed a dramatic increase of people identifying themselves as Native Americans over the past forty years in the decennial US Census. The increase coincides with the introduction of racial self-declaration in 1960; according to scholars this enables a process of ethnic switching where individuals change their race fro
This thesis attempts to understand the ways in which popular film is integrated into the everyday lives of urban middle class youth in India. Approaching the study of film through an audience reception approach, I engaged in participant observation and interviews during a fieldwork period in New Delhi in order to better understand how a young audience might negotiate the fantasy of filmic images i
Europe is struggling to reduce its CO2 emissions and to fulfil commitments made according to Kyoto protocol. At the same time, Europe does not possess enough fossil energy resources to cover its needs and thus consumption of imported fossil fuels is growing, placing threats upon economic stability. In order to combat these challenges, renewable energy sources and biomass in particular are expected
This essay examines contemporary political discourses about the Mau Mau insurgence, which took place in Kenya in 1952-1960. During the Mau Mau, the people living in the Central Highlands region, mainly of the Kikuyu ethnic group rebelled against colonial rule. The British came down hard on the Mau Mau, detaining, killing and torturing large portions of the Kikuyu population. There was a divide wit
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
