The aim of this thesis is to investigate how degrowth is represented in Swedish media. It uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to analyse the empirical material, consisting of 31 articles from four different newspapers in Sweden. The theoretical framework is called nomadic utopianism, a utopianism which is based on the concept of radical imminence, i.e to do things in the present without having
Bakgrund: Ventilator associerad pneumoni (VAP) är ett medicinskt tillstånd som innebär allvarliga konsekvenser för den drabbade intensivvårdspatienten, i form av hotad livskvalité och överhängande risk för morbiditet och mortalitet. Direkta konsekvenser såsom till exempel förlängd vårdtid innebär större kostnader för sjukvården och samhället därav är det av vikt att implementera effektiva interven
Penningtvätt har länge varit ett uppmärksammat problem, men inte förrän på senare år, särskilt efter den 11 september 2001 och terroristattackerna i USA har stora krafttag gjort att bekämpningen av problemet kommit igång. Bekämpningen och förhindrandet av penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism är även viktigt utifrån ett större perspektiv. Om man kan strypa finanserna för kriminell verksamhet,Money laundering has for a long time been an acknowledged problem, now more than ever. Especially after 9/11 2001 and the terrorist attacks in the USA, joint efforts have made combating the problem a serious matter. Combating and prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing is also important from a larger perspective. If you can close off finances of criminal activity, you are one step c
Studiens syfte var att undersöka anknytningsmönster hos patienter med bipolär sjukdom. Vilket anknytningsmönster var mest framträdande hos patienter med bipolär diagnos? Fanns det samband mellan stämningsläget och skattade anknytningsmönster? Självskattningsformuläret Relationship Questionnarie (RQ-Swe) användes som mätningsinstrument. Även frågor om patientens kön och ålder och stämningsläge stäl
The main goal of the project was to decrease the cooling time of a diamond anvil cell (DAC) by modifying an existing design. Modifications included change of materials, overall dimensions and a significant reduction of mass together with additional suggestions for decreased cool time. The initial design was known to function with current materials and dimensions. The first step of the thesis was
The bachelor thesis was to create a GPS tracking system for Svep Design Center AB. The system would consist of two major parts which were linked together through a common database. One part consisted of a cell phone application were the user can transmit their current position and the other part was a web application where the position data is presented on a map outlining the route of the user. Si
Global greenhouse gas emissions from air travel (GHG-A) are on the rise, and projections point towards a rapid growth in the coming decades. This study aims to examine how local government (cities), addresses GHG-A in their Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP). To fulfil this aim, over 200 SEAPs were analysed focusing on three issues: (1) Treatment of GHG-A in local emissions inventories; (2) Po
Contemporary organizations expect newly formed teams to perform from the outset under strict time and task constraints. While Wheelan’s (1994a; 2005) Integrated Model of Group Development (IMGD) frames team development as a progression through distinct stages, few studies have examined whether such assumptions are reflected in the temporal structure of early interaction. Drawing on a dynamic syste
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) amendment of 2024 is a major tool in the EU’s environmental aim of net-zero carbon emissions for the building stock by 2050. The overall goal is to improve energy performance, boost renovation rates, reduce energy bills and support decarbonisation of the building stock. This thesis investigates through a literature review, what the 2024 recast o
This paper explores the link between income, and wealth inequality and the ecological footprint in France, Netherlands, United States, and United Kingdom from 1962 to 2021. Based on theoretical considerations, we allow the relationship to vary over time. Our analysis provides some support for income inequality influencing ecological footprints, specifically through carbon emissions. Yet, we do not
The tunable electronic structure of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) has attracted much attention due to the great potential in nanoscale electronic applications. Most methods to produce GNRs rely on the lithographic process, which suffers from the process-induced disorder in the graphene and scalability issues. Here, we demonstrate a novel approach to directly grow free-standing GNRs on step-bunched f
Background Previous population-based studies suggest an increased risk of suicide in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but findings have been inconsistent and often limited by residual confounding. We examined the association between incident PD and suicide-related outcomes using extensive confounding control, including both suicidal attempts and suicide.Methods We conducted a nationwide matched cohort stBackground Previous population-based studies suggest an increased risk of suicide in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but findings have been inconsistent and often limited by residual confounding.

A major theme of the current “Haitian turn” has been what I call a “universality-analysis”, which stresses that the Haitian Revolution, in contrast to the American and the French, once and for all abolished slavery. The chapter investigates the intervention into the Haitian Turn by two scholars specialized in the history of human rights: Lynn Hunt, who advocates a universality-analysis of the Hait
