The concrete sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions; consumes substantial amounts of natural resources and serves as a significant source of global waste. The Circular Economy approach has been put forward as the solution to these environmental issues, but the overall effectiveness of the approach has been called into question by existing research. The aim of this thesis
The hiker reaches out from the city, town, or village, intending to be alone. Away from sounds, away from paved roads and houses, away from streetlights and phones, away from people. But what is ‘nature’, and who has the right to it? The untouched landscape shaped by nothing but the earth itself is today hard to find. Human activity is close to everywhere. Even in Sarek National Park, an area of d

Climate change adaptation (CCA) has become a prominent topic as the global environment changes. Increased extreme weather events, changes in microclimates and local ecosystems necessitate a change in current production methods, particularly within the food industry. Aquaculture, which provides over 50% of the global seafood, is particularly vulnerable to climate change. That includes Norway, the w
What can monuments do as communicative and imaginative media? This thesis exemplifies how counter-monuments present an entry point for Media and Communication scholars to re- conceptualise traditional monuments, shifting the focus from a noun to a processual verb based on conviviality. Accordingly, using a case-study methodology informed by Flyvbjerg’s (2001) and Dewey’s (1934) pragmatic understan
Galatians is a polemical letter which contains a substantial amount of argumentative passages. Paul evidently wanted to persuade by using the best arguments possible to convince his addressees. Using a state-of-the-art method from the discipline of argumentation analysis, Paul's argumentation can be analysed with a precision that standard exegetical methods cannot provide.

The idea of a Nordic community, even though it was a reality in the past and is still a quite tangible idea in the present – because all Nordic countries have striking similarities – is often obscured by the more recent idea that the nation always comes first, and for quite some time now the Nordic countries have been anxious to set themselves apart from their closest neighbour in particular.In th

There is great interest in earlier prognostic markers, including very early markers at admission. The novel blood biomarkers proenkephalin A 119-159 (penKid), bioactive adrenomedullin (bio-ADM)
An extensive and reliable electricity grid is essential for all sectors of society. In parts of Sweden, the electricity grid has been suffering from a lack of capacity. This is something affecting all sectors and all people in these regions. The capacity problems have however so far mainly been analyzed in a technical system perspective, focusing on incumbent actors, whereas other actors have been
