Public spaces are central in most forms of urban planning and design since they play an important role in people’s wellbeing and social life. This study, however, explores public spaces in an often-neglected context: the rural. The research highlights and processes three public spaces in the Swedish village Kivik, a popular tourist destination on the east coast of Scania. Henri Lefebvre’s theory o
This study investigates xenoliths present in various dykes on Tenerife, the Canary Islands. These xenoliths were studied by means of fieldwork, petrographic analysis, scanning electron microscopy, laser fluorination, and LA-ICP-MS. In conjunction these analyses enable the understanding of the magmatic structures beneath the Anaga massif, with a conceptualisation of the formation of this volcanic s
This thesis had the aim to investigate how food poverty has been explained in government and civil society texts in Sweden and the UK. This included views on the implications of the concept, as well as the perceived drivers and sufficient measures in preventing the issue. The method first included a thematic analysis by using NVIVO, and later, based on my findings, a discourse analysis. Moreover,
This paper explores how the modern categories of labor and value are questioned by practices and ideas on the autonomous zad of Notre-Dame-Des-Landes, France. In a world where the global economy is defined by the division of time between labor and leisure, it is necessary to question these foundations by asking what this dichotomy implies. With data from eight weeks of ethnographic fieldwork obser
The European Union has recognised the potential of data for its data economy, fostering innovation, driving competition and enhancing transparency. To fully utilise its potential, enabling access to data is crucial. The objective of the Regulation (EU) 2023/2854 on harmonised rules on fair access to and use of data (Data Act) is to provide new possibilities for accessing and re-using information.
This research paper aims to identify the most effective algorithms for predicting electricity prices in the German day-ahead market, with a specific emphasis on how renewable energy sources, particularly wind and solar, influence hourly price pro- files. These profiles, or characteristic patterns, depict how prices fluctuate within a day. Different machine learning regression models and methods ar
This thesis analyzes the link between materiality and brand discursiveness. This study examines how material culture contributes to brand narratives' meaning and symbolic construction. For this purpose, the creation of commodities with metal obtained from molten guns is analyzed through a discursive analysis and anthropological theory. This research describes how the brands analyzed deploy dis
It is widespread human doxa that moral concern towards the animal is less important than what we direct towards our fellow human–beings. The animal is avowedly less rational, less susceptible to pleasure, and less capable of creating meaningful interactive relationships, or so widely accepted at least. I will argue that the paradigm in which we hierarchize human concern as superordinated the anima
The role, functions, and mechanisms of post-incident and post-accident learning within organizations has been widely studied in various industries. With the increasing role software plays in society, large-scale software development and operations practices and organizations are having a larger impact on day-to-day life; despite this, organizational learning has not been widely examined within thi
Cancer is one of today’s most common causes of human mortality. For long, chemotherapeutics has been a conventional treatment of the disease, but due to its low precision and high frequency of side effects, this treatment has been highly debated. Nanosized particles, so called nanoparticles (NPs), have emerged as a promising tool for cancer treatment, due to their ability of selectively reaching t
The aim of this thesis is to describe the rights of asylum seekers, refugees and migrant workers with regard to the right to have access to employment, the right to work under safe and fair conditions and the right to have access to social security in the Netherlands. One of the purposes of this thesis is furthermore to bring clarity and awareness to the fact that asylum seekers and refugees have
The purpose of this research was to examine whether the opportunities or the risks are most significant for consumers when they are using algorithm-based news aggregators, this was accomplished by using an expanded Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 model (UTAUT2). In addition to examining the significance of the original UTAUT2 parameters, we sought to reveal if our additional p
The recent COVID-19 pandemic crisis has resulted in great uncertainty and potential losses to the financial market. Investors must find the safe haven and hedge currencies in the current crisis to manage portfolios. In this paper, I demonstrate how to use the dynamic conditional correlations (DCC) model with student-t error distribution to assess the role of foreign exchange, cryptocurrencies, and
Forskningen om användning av psykedeliska substanser för behandling av olika psykologiska problem som beroende, behandlingsresistent depression och dödsångest tycks indikera att användning av psykedelika under rätt omständigheter kan ha positiva resultat för mental hälsa. Forskningen antyder också att de potentiellt positiva resultaten för mental hälsa inte kan reduceras till endast farmakologiskaResearch on using psychedelic substances for treating various psychological problems such as addiction, treatment resistant depression and death agony seem to indicate that under the right circumstances the use of psychedelics could have positive outcomes on mental health. Studies also suggest that the potentially positive outcomes on mental health cannot be reduced to pharmacological effects alon
As one of the most important sites in which and through which discourse is articulated and disseminated, newspapers play particularly extensive roles in furthering understandings of human rights cases involving citizens of dual nationality and foreign policy. Drawing on critical discourse analysis and the practice of journalistic framing, this study examined the effects of intertextuality on the d
The aim of this thesis was to reveal how nano-sized extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from human breast milk and Aascaris suum, parasitic worm incubation media interacts with hydrophilic, hydrophobic and DOPC surfaces and colloidally characterize EVs and EV fluids by determining their hydrodynamic radius and zeta potential. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) was used to determine the size and zet
The need for sustainable solutions to the negative state of the Earth is urgent. Ethical choices need to be made and humanity’s endowed imagination needs to be employed to find creative ways ahead. Literature has a potential to open minds and challenge perceptions, which is necessary to activate the creative imagination needed to find visionary solutions. This analytical research paper explores ho
The European Commission favours market-based support policies, such as markets for tradable green certificates, to promote renewable energy. Meanwhile, these markets have received critique for exposing investors to large price risk as the level of support is determined by the market price of certificates. Unstable prices can also result from changes in regulation since the demand for certificates
I denna uppsats presenterar jag kristallisationsåldrar, petrografi och geokemisk sammansättning för diabasgångar och en lagergång i östra och sydöstra Kaapvaal kratonen, Sydafrika. Dessa nya resultat ger mer exakta och pålitliga resultat än tidigare dateringar för diabaser tillhörande den s.k. Mashining gångsvärmen, vilka daterats till 2253 ± 45 and 2202 ± 74 Ma (Ma = miljoner år). De nya resultat
