Enhanced efforts in the transportation sector should be implemented to mitigate the adverse effects of CO2 emissions resulting from zoning-based planning paradigms. The concept of a 15-minute city, emphasizing proximity-based planning, holds promise in reducing unnecessary travel and progressing towards carbon neutrality. However, a critical research question remains inadequately explored: to what
A qualitative investigation of the first implementation stage of a large-scale change project towards process standardisation and associated change management efforts within Alfa Laval AB. The goal of the research is to contextually analyse the dimensions of change, investigating how the misalignments of the understandings of change and change management come about and what they imply for the chan
Studien analyserar intermediala aspekter i David Mitchells roman Cloud Atlas (2004) med bakgrund av Lars Elleströms mediebegrepp och Werner Wolfs intrakompositionella intermedialitetsbegrepp. Frågeställningen är: Hur kommer den intrakompositionella intermedialiteten till uttryck och hur är den meningsskapande samt ger kohesion till den fragmentariska romanen Cloud Atlas? Intermediala imitationer
Climate denial and refusal remain central to the ontologies of far-right political projects in many of the countries most responsible for rising temperatures. This article demonstrates how misogyny facilitates the proliferation of obstructionist rhetoric. Specifically, the People’s Party of Canada’s (PPC) climate discourse is analyzed through a feminist lens anchored in Gramscian theorisations of
This research is concerned with the relation between racism and the notion of rurality. More specifically, it studies a formally defined rural area in France where the State relocated migrants between 2016 and 2019, placing them in a derelict military camp. By so doing, the study contributes to the ongoing debate whether the rural-urban dichotomy should be considered a sufficiently realistic or de
The purpose of this thesis is to examine online sexism as a phenomenon on Danish news media platforms on Facebook. Research have shown a transgression of gendered violence online that is often produced on social media. Studies concerning Danish discourses and sexism is approached to give an understanding of the extent of online sexism. Limited research exists and the following study will provide i
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
BackgroundRight ventricular (RV) failure is a key determinant of outcome in precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PHprecap). Contemporary four-strata risk assessment incorporates functional capacity and NT-proBNP, yet the relationship between these and RV function remains unclear. We therefore examined these associations in PHprecap.Methods and resultsPatients with PHprecap (n=49; 69% women, median
An article written by the Swedish Government in 2018 outlines that they are working towards a more equal society and describes how they are conducting prevention work regarding men’s violence towards women. Although recently media has portrayed street harassment and catcalling as something that has become an increasing problem for young women in Sweden. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to
The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the issue of car dependency is represented within the transportation system of Region Skåne and how that representation shapes the region’s strategy for mobility. This is done through a document analysis of the active version of the transportation strategy from 2017 as well as the soon-to-be implemented draft version from 2025 using the “What’s the prob
Since the late 1980s the Swedish educational system has been transformed through a number of market-based reforms. The purpose of the reforms was to increase efficiency and quality in Swedish schools by introducing private producers and reducing state regulation. Conversely, since the implementation of the reforms the between schools quality variation has increased which is argued to be associated
A cohort of 82 patients with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes was followed prospectively for 24 months, and 54 of them for 30 months, to study the relationship between fasting levels of immunoreactive C-peptide and titres of islet cell antibodies. After diagnosis, fasting C-peptide rose temporarily for 1-6 months of insulin therapy and declined continuously thereafter. While islet cell antibodi
The epidermal growth factor system has been associated to prognosis in patients with bladder cancer based mainly on the expression of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor 1 (EGFR) and HER2 and their activating ligands. Since limited information exists concerning the expression of other parts of the EGF system, we examined the expression of the receptors HER3 and HER4 and their activating lig
Levodopa is a precursor to dopamine that has been shown to improve functional recovery following stroke partly achieved through mechanisms of brain plasticity. This study investigates if dopamine might affect plasticity by having a direct effect on synaptic plasticity through alterations in neurotransmitter release and re-uptake. Synaptogyrin is a synaptic vesicle protein that has been suggested t
Plants respond to insect infestation with defenses targeting insect eggs on their leaves and the feeding insects. Upon perceiving cues indicating imminent herbivory, such as damage-induced leaf odors emitted by neighboring plants, they are able to prime their defenses against feeding insects. Yet it remains unknown whether plants can amplify their defenses against insect eggs by responding to cues
