Down to the roots is a project about just that; seeing where things come from and how are they made. I have a background in textile design which I wanted to enhance in this project. Therefore I wanted to examine the technique of tufting. This is a textile technique that is not talked about that much, but most of today’s carpets are made this way. In tufting threads are shot into a fabric, situate
In 2013, the previous Mexican federal government passed a constitutional reform of the energy sector that set the grounds for the use of fracking at a national scale. Less than two years later, a strategic policy document was published, mapping a whole set of areas whose deposits require the use of fracking to be exploited. Part of these endangered areas are located in the region of La Huasteca Po
Meteorological conditions are influenced everyday by air-bound aerosols and pollution in the atmosphere, and understanding these processes from micro to synoptic scale, is essential for forecasting and creating high resolution weather models. In this study, three different experimental weather models are analysed to provide some understanding on how various meteorological parameters are influenced
Immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees with no swedish passport or residence permit can under particular circumstances be transferred to and held in custody. For the sake of simplicity, all of the terms above will be referred to as “immigrants etc.” in this abstract. These individuals residence in custody are regulated by criminal laws, except certain facilitations regarding contact with others o
Nature conservation and outdoor recreation are commonly set as dual goals for the protection of nature areas. However often compatible, they do not always go together. A literature review of related conflicts and risks found that high recreational use can lead to long lasting impacts possibly affecting the whole ecosystem. The damage and compaction of soils on trails and other surfaces can lead to
In recent years, insufficient obstetric care has been a highly debated topic in Swedish media and politics. However, despite reports on e.g. the country’s high prevalence of birthing injuries, the recent closing of numerous maternity wards and a severe lack of midwives, the development of Sweden’s medical birth outcomes has been stable. Thus, based on the assumptions that (I) said quality measurem
The rise of solar cells have been received with open arms as a renewable energy resource in Sweden. The new generation of solar cells containing semi conductive type III-V nanowires may pose, without proper safety measures, negative implications on health and the environment. In this study an overview of possible risks is considered in the waste management with solar cells containing nanowires. Al
Syftet med den aktuella studien var att, utifrån en kritisk realistisk ansats, undersöka hur män upplever, förstår och reglerar sina känslor, såväl intrapsykiskt som i en interpersonell kontext. Ett särskilt fokus riktades mot socialiseringsprocesser av känslor under uppväxten, och på hur detta idag inverkar på männens känslomässiga förhållningssätt. Studiens design var mixad och utgjordes av en eThe aim of the present study, which was informed by a critical realist approach, was to investigate how men experience, understand and regulate their emotions, both intrapsychically and in interpersonal contexts. A specific aim was to shed light on the socialization of emotions during adolescence, and on how this today is affecting men’s emotional attitudes. The study's design was mixed and in
Efter en arbetsdag, arbetsvecka, några tuffa månader eller bara efter några ansträngande timmar kan man känna sig i behov av en paus. Orsaken kan vara stress eller mental utmattning, något som har blivit allt mer aktuella frågor i samhället idag. Vi lever i en tillvaro där allting ska gå allt snabbare, där prestationerna och effektiviteten ökar och ’multitasking’ är ett vanligt begrepp. Sömnen eAfter a couple of demanding days, weeks, or just after a few hours one can feel the need for a break. Stress or mental fatigue may be the underlying cause. Issues related to mental health are increasing in today’s society, a society where high performance, efficiency, multitasking and to-do-lists are common phrases. Sleep offers us some recovery, but neither sleep nor the rarely occurring vacati
This paper explores the process of transitioning to a rural, self-sustainable lifestyle in terms of ecological sustainability and geographical place, while focusing on how these concepts serve to motivate change and create a sense of purpose. It further analyzes how aspects of structural power may facilitate or impede the transition into self-sufficiency. The study consists of ethnographically ga
The cosmogenic radionuclide 36Cl is a valuable tracer for studying Earth system processes, solar variability and geomagnetic field changes. These applications rely on a comprehensive understanding of 36Cl transport and deposition processes, which are still poorly studied. In this study, we apply a state-of-the-art climate model ECHAM6.3-HAM2.3 to investigate the source distribution and deposition
It is speculated that virtual environments (VE) might be used as a training tool in brain injury rehabilitation. The rehabilitation process often involves practicing so-called instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), such as shopping, cooking, and using a telephone. If a brain injury patient is to practice such activities in a VE, the patient must be able to navigate the viewpoint and inter
Previous studies on lymphocytes have suggested that patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have an increased susceptibility for chromosomal damage induced by bleomycin, a known radiomimetic mutagen. However, it has so far not been possible to study whether this genetic instability is present also in the epithelial component of the upper aerodigestive tract mucosa, the tissue f
The thesis is about how students can learn to use argumentation and the processes of giving responses in a web-based setting, as a tool for individual and collective learning. The thesis comprises three studies, which examine and describe how 70 distance students develop an individual and collective competence to provide feedback, critically evaluate and argue in the context of a web-based learnin
The last couple of years’ child/youth-led climate cases like Juliana v. US, Sacchi et al. v. Argentina et al. and the Duarte Agostinho case at the European Court of Human Rights have sparked the beginnings of a new sub-field of socio-legal child rights studies. The present paper systematically and critically reviews this emerging body of literature on rights-based climate litigation with children
Groundwater drought, a significant natural disaster in arid and semi-arid regions, contributes to numerous consecutive issues. Due to the inherent complexity of groundwater flow systems, accurately quantifying and describing this phenomenon remains a challenging task. As a result of excessive agricultural development, the Marand Plain in northwestern Iran is experiencing both groundwater drought a
ImportanceSyncope remains a diagnostic challenge despite advancements in testing and treatment. Cardiac syncope is an independent predictor of mortality and can be difficult to distinguish from other causes of transient loss of consciousness (TLOC).ObservationsThe cause of TLOC is often unclear, hospitalization criteria are ambiguous, diagnostic tests are frequently non-informative, and assessment
