To attract and to appeal to their consumers, designs and concepts of advertisements continually have to be changed in an industry that is saturated with similar campaigns. In this thesis, I analyse how this change is created through the depiction of “ugly models”. The focus lies on the way of their presentation in advertisements in order to make the “ugly” attractive. Based on the models’ presenta
Food policies have become increasingly relevant for the federal and municipal planning in the recent decades. Poor quality diets are associated with a number of diseases, such as obesity, heart diseases, diabetes, and some cancers. I have done a case study of food policy in San Francisco. I focus on the three dimensions of the city food planning, such as access to healthy food, sustainable and loc
I första hand är det varje vårdnadshavares ansvar att ge sitt barn fostran, kärlek och trygghet. Under vissa förutsättningar kan dock samhället omhänderta ett barn med tvång. Det är vanligt att dessa barn av kommunernas socialnämnder placeras i familjehem. Ett familjehem är ett enskilt hem som barnet tas emot i för att bo och vårdas där. Det ställs särskilt höga krav på dessa barns rättssäkerhet dIn the first place it is the responsibility of every guardian to nurture, love and care for its child. In certain circumstances however, the society may compulsorily take a child into care. It is common for these children to be placed in foster homes by the municipal social services. A foster home is a private home where the child is being received to live and to be cared for. The demands for lega
Exposed, well-drained and nutrient poor areas on Spitsbergen are mainly covered by a plant alliance typical for Svalbard, the Caricion nardinae. Caricion nardinae is a circum-polar alliance, which is dominated by the creeping, ever-green dwarf-shrub Dryas octopetala. On the beach flats of western Spitsbergen, Jonas Åkerman (1983) observed in 1979 the plant Dryas octopetala growing in an unusual pa
Recent years’ political development in Europe as well as in the US reflects a growing support for anti-globalization movements, protectionism and stronger nation-states. The victory for the Leave option in the Brexit referendum further emphasized this development, since many of these views were promoted by the Leave side. Previous research has investigated the relationship between globalization in
Medical marijuana has been argued to supplement the treatment of cancer in terms of relieving symptoms and side effects occurring from treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. As the legalisation of cannabis becomes more widespread across the United States not only for medical but also recreational use, any effects on the well-being on those who undergo cancer treatment could have importa
Microcystis blooms are implicated in toxic algal blooms worldwide due to the production of toxins microcystins. Blooms have caused poisoning of humans and other animals, and annually contribute to economic loss. The biological role of microcystin synthesis by the genus Microcystis remains an unanswered question. Consequently, the factors that select for microcystin producing (toxic) phenotypes ove
The main aim of this thesis is to analyse the climate adaptation strategies regarding water resources in the regional context of the three major riparians of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers: Turkey, Syria and Iraq. The objectives are: to base the analysis on the criteria benefit, consequences and limits to the social as well as the technical factors affecting the water availability and to use WW-H
The broader goal of this project was to investigate what kind of effects the accumulation of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in the marine environment might have on the microbial world. Bacteria were isolated from biofilms fouling PHA pellets placed in the sediment-water interface; the goal was to isolate PHA degraders that were also sulphate reducers. Eleven strains were isolated and for three of the
Urban inequalities are one of the most important questions in contemporary times. One urban area that is struggling with inequalities is Malmö, the third largest city in Sweden. The new comprehensive plan for Malmö from 2018, states that a socially balanced city is necessary for further development of Malmö, to tackle inequalities the plan states that all citizens need to be able to shape society
This thesis explores the correlation between national role conceptions, national identities and sensemaking processes among South Korean and Swedish policy influencers during the Sunshine Policy years of 1998-2003. The study relies on in depth semi structured interviews with 10 policy influencers who work with North Korea policies. Starting from Holsti’s (1970) national role conceptions and Weick’
As the world faces great sustainability challenges, climate adaptation and mitigation strategies are being linked to sustainability transitions as a desired approach for many cities, especially in the Nordic countries. This thesis looked at how the City of Malmö in Sweden, as a case study, is currently governing the transition towards climate adaptation and environmental sustainability, with a foc
Ammonia (NH3) is an important chemical both as a chemical precursor and in its own right. It is therefore of practical importance to be able to visualize ammonia gas especially when ammonia is present in combustion or flue-gas environments. This thesis is focused on the use of laser-induced fluorescence with the stated aim of imaging ammonia in low concentrations, with the end-goal of applying the
Ett ogenomskinligt öga? - Intermediära filament i vuxen näthinna och lins i odling En av de vanligaste orsakerna till synnedsättning att ögats lins blir grumlig, såkallad grå starr. Grå starr uppkommer när linsens proteiner hamnar i obalans och klumpar ihop sig. En viss grupp av dessa proteiner, som kallas intermediära filament, är i en frisk lins viktiga för genomskinligheten. Dessa proteiner fi
