Indigenous peoples and natural environment in Brazil share a history of subjection to the economic interests of those in power, a condition that tragically resulted in the killing of thousands indigenous individuals and in unprecedent destruction of the Amazon during the military dictatorial regime (1964-1985). Now, as Jair Bolsonaro, who openly praises the dictatorship, is elected as president am
För att utvärdera en relativt ny typ av filterbottensystem som finns installerat i ett flertal vattenverk i Sverige så gjordes en bedömning av samspelet mellan ett snabbfilters prestanda och dess filterbottensystem. Målet var att bedöma filterbottensystemets påverkan på kvaliteten av det filtrerade vattnet och på energikonsumtionen under backspolningsprocessen och att använda denna information förThe interplay between the performance of a rapid gravity filter and its underdrain system was to be assessed in order to evaluate the performance of an unconventional underdrain system that is installed in a number of water treatment plants in Sweden. The aim was to assess the influence of the underdrain system on the filtered water quality and the energy efficiency of the backwash process of the

This thesis investigates how young women navigate flexibilization and informalization in the Taiwanese labor market, their motivations guiding the transition from formal to informal sector, and generational differences in terms of motivations and interpretation of informality. A qualitative approach was adopted, entailing thematic analysis based on a corpus of different data, including participant
Urban Green Spaces (UGS) help mitigate the Urban Heat Island effect by lowering Land Surface Temperature (LST). The extent of this cooling effect is influenced by vegetation characteristics and how green spaces are spatially arranged in different urban settings. This thesis investigates the relationship between UGS, urban morphology, and LST in Zurich, Lausanne, and Geneva using high-resolution (1
In recent years, dating apps have become a dominant way for young people to initiate romantic connections. However, these platforms are embedded in broader societal transformations marked by emotional detachment, commodification, and accelerated life rhythms. This thesis explores how such dynamics shape romantic relationships for young heterosexual women in Copenhagen. Specifically, it investigate

Taurine, an amino sulfonic acid abundant in seafood and meat, has been proposed to have a potential role in the prevention of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the association between dietary taurine intake and MASLD remains unclear in human populations. Also, data on dietary taurine intake among adult
This study examines the contribution of a structural glass window integrated into a lightweight timber-frame wall diaphragm at the structural level. A full-scale timber mock-up, comprising different bracing elements such as wall diaphragms (with and without a bonded structural window), and a moment-resisting frame, combined with a roof diaphragm, was subjected to multiple serviceability limit stat
