From Nye’s famous soft power, a new international relations concept has recently emerged: strategic narratives, the narratives which different states use to promote their agendas in the international system. This thesis focuses on one particular aspect of Sino-Japanese relations: the understanding, characterization and possible implications of the strategic narratives projected by both countries v
This thesis investigates climate blame amongst a local population in the Northern Andes, Peru, and relates it to arguments on climate liability in German courtrooms. It does so on the backdrop of a climate lawsuit, which in 2017 was accepted by the Higher Regional Court in Hamm, Germany, filed by a Peruvian farmer against a German coal- and electricity company. Based on epistemological standpoints
Användarupplevelse och kundens nöjdhet vid användning av mjukvara blir en allt viktigare del av utvecklingen av digitala tjänster. Vi som användare är vana vid lättförståeliga flöden och snabba responstider, ett krav som ställs allt mer för digitala tjänster, då utbudet och konkurrensen mellan dessa växer varje dag. För att både attrahera nya kunder och behålla de nuvarande, satsar därför Telavox User experience and customer satisfaction are becoming more and more important in the development of digital services. Users are accustomed to easily understandable workflows and fast response times, which is then easy to demand from these services as the range of services and thus the competition between them grows every day. Therefore, in order to both attract new customers and retain the curren
When they migrate to another Member State (MS), EU citizens must adjust to a country whose legal environment is composed of both national laws and EU laws. Additionally, mobile EU citizens have their own legal culture which crafts the way they make sense of mundane circumstances and social interactions. What comes out of the mutual interplay between the host MS’s legal environment and mobile EU ci
Covid19 pandemin har inneburit stora utmaningar för psykisk hälsa globalt, dels på grund av begränsningar som införts för att minska smittspridningen såsom social distansering, men också rädslan som följer att leva under oroliga tider. Tidigare studier har bidragit till förklaringar av covid19’s effekter på psykisk hälsa genom att fokusera på antingen personlighetsbaserade eller kontextuella faktoThe covid19 pandemic has presented great challenges to mental health globally, in part due to restrictions implemented in the wake of the pandemic; such as social distancing, but also due to the fear and psychological distress associated with living during times of crisis. Prior studies have contributed to explaining covid19’s effects on mental health by addressing either personality-based or cont
The purpose of this paper is to shed light on museum visitors’ experiences during the pandemic. Precisely, we aim to investigate visitors’ expectations and experiences towards digital channels and identify potential gaps between museums’ offering and what visitors’ are looking for, further providing insights on the perceived advantages and limitations of museums’ digital transformation. The rese
In a global social divide between modern and traditional, medicine has fallen into two sides. Still, much of modern medicine exists because of traditional medicinal knowledge, yet the latter is rarely given any recognition. Despite increasing juridical attempts to protect indigenous groups and their traditional knowledge from biopiracy, the issue remains prevalent. Therefore, this thesis looks at
Snow flies ( Chionea ) are wingless crane flies uniquely adapted to extreme cold environments. Adults remain active throughout winter and move rapidly across the snow, even at temperatures below freezing. To investigate the molecular adaptations that make this possible, we sequenced and annotated the genome of Chionea alexandriana and compared it with related species and with the cold-adapted midg
This study examines landslide occurrence and post‑landslide recovery dynamics in Nyungwe Forest Reserve, Rwanda, using a combination of multi‑temporal landslide mapping, environmental and geomorphological predictor analysis, and an assessment of the Tropical Moist Forest (TMF) product. A landslide inventory covering the period from 2000 to 2024 was produced using high‑resolution optical imagery. T
This thesis explores the contradiction between the visibility of Black culture and the social invisibility of Black people in contemporary Japan. Black cultural forms are widely consumed in Japanese popular culture, from music and fashion to hairstyles, yet Black residents remain systematically marginalized in mainstream media and public discourse. The myth of tan'itsu minzoku sustains this co
This study explores how stakeholders interpret place mascots on social media and what place brand identity emerges from their interpretations. Strategic communication emphasizes the importance of understanding stakeholders when developing strategies. However, existing research on place brand identity mainly adopts a top-down and marketing-oriented perspective, focusing on how DMOs convey intended
The market for ready-to-drink protein beverages has expanded alongside growing interest in health, convenience, and active aging. However, many products in this category appear to target younger, fitness-oriented consumers, while adults aged 65 and older remain less visible as a distinct consumer segment. Drawing on a qualitative methodology, this thesis examines how older adults in the United St
Background: Poor self-reported sleep quality is associated with cognitive impairment. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients present sleep disruptions decades before they start to decline clinically. Similarly, amyloid-β (Aβ) starts accumulating during the preclinical phase of the disease. This study investigated associations between self-reported sleep quality and Aβ burden longitudinally in clinicall
Purpose: We examine how IFRS 13 Level 3 fair value measurement continues to be treated as epistemically adequate by preparers, auditors, regulators, and users, despite requiring measurements whose correctness cannot be independently confirmed against any observable market transaction. We introduce the concept of Epistemic Fragility to name this condition and explain both how it persists and how th
This research examines the relationship between the language attitudes and language strategies of balanced Latvian-Russian bilinguals in Latvia, in the context of the country’s language policies, which shifted towards securitisation following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022. To this end, the study proposes an explanatory model in which identity negotiation serves as the key med
Complement factor D (FD) (adipsin), is an adipokine essential for the activation of the complement alternative pathway (AP), contributing to inflammation but also to metabolic homeostasis through C3a production. We investigated the metabolic regulation of Cfd expression in mouse models. A diet-induced model of insulin resistance reduced expression of key AP components, including adipose Cfd, hepat
