The thesis provides with the broad overview about the consumer awareness of the gender dimension within brand personalities. The research contributes to branding theory and gender studies and demonstrates that consumer gender influences does not influence the perceived brand personality gender. However, it also shows that consumers prefer brands with a clear gender, but not necessarily the same ge
Ozone was applied to return activated sludge in full-scale to study how ozone impacts filamentous bacteria viability (Live/Dead®). Additionally, the ozonated sludges were subjected to anaerobic digestion trials and analysis of micropollutants. Ozone treatment (3-4.8 g O3/kg TSS) improved the settling properties of the sludge by lowering the diluted sludge volume with 7-35%.

Kvinnors roller i terrororganisationer synliggörs sällan, trots att de ofta är fundamentala för gruppernas överlevnad och utveckling. I denna komparativa studie jämförs kvinnors roller i Al-Qaeda och IS och försöker därmed belysa deras deltagande i grupperna. Peter R. Neumanns ramverk om terrororganisationers struktur, mål och metod används för att beskriva Al-Qaeda och IS och kompletteras med en
Nyckelord: Media, väktare, vakthund, informationsförmedlare, tystnad Studiens syfte: Syftet med studien är att utvärdera hur väl media uppfyller sin roll som väktare i sin vardagliga rapportering i Sverige.

Popular Abstract in English Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) is an artist who has strongly influenced how art is currently understood. He aimed at broadening the concept of art and suggested that other things than paintings and sculptures could be defined as art. The thesis concerns Duchamp’s permanent installation Étant donnés: 1° La chute d’eau, 2° Le gaz d’éclairage (Given: 1. The Waterfall, 2. The IAims: To study aspects of Marcel Duchamp’s posthumous permanent installation 'Étant donnés: 1° La chute d’eau, 2° Le gaz d’éclairage…' ('Given: 1. The Waterfall, 2. The Illuminating Gas...'). To investigate and show methods in the making as well as in the interpretation of Duchamp’s work. To perform and document minor actions as reflections on (and of) the study.

Cases of successful developmental states constrained by democratic institutions pose challenges to the literature on the political economy of late development. On the one hand, the dominant view is that successful developmental states tend to rely on authority-based coordination mechanisms—corporatist arrangements, labor repression, professional bureaucracies insulated from popular pressures—to soCases of successful developmental states constrained by democratic institutions pose challenges to the literature on the political economy of late development.

The replacement of fossil fuels by renewable fuels such as biogas and biohydrogen will require efficient and economically competitive process technologies together with new kinds of biomass. A two-stage system for biogas production has several advantages over the widely used one-stage continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). However, it has not yet been widely implemented on a large scale. Biohydro
In this article, we use in-depth interviews with young adults in Sweden to explore the gendered and embodied experiences of depression and antidepressant use. Building upon previous phenomenological research, we analyse being depressed and on antidepressants as altered embodied states, in which corporealization—experiencing the body as a material object—is central. Feminist interventions by Toril
