Strategic communication as an integrating discipline addresses social phenomenon as migration. When people relocate, they experience physical and mental stress, and seek guidance, questioning their sense of belonging. Authentic communication based on feminist values aims to build long-lasting relations and reach social inclusion by conducting more sensitive communication. This thesis explores the

Most of the world’s rich countries are experiencing increasingly high life expectancies and low fertility rates. Fewer people of working age need to somehow support the many elderly, which puts pressure on the economy to reprioritize and change. This study investigates what possible effect this may have on international capital movements, and particularly foreign direct investment (FDI). The liter

This thesis aims to investigate the water balance, seasonality, and to speculate about the future of Great Salt Lake, Utah, and more specifically the south part of Great Salt Lake, during a study period ranging from 2004 to 2024. The reason this is important is because the lake is a keystone in the western United States and serves as an important food source for millions of migratory birds as well

Corporate brands face a persistent paradox of staying relevant and exciting in dynamic markets while maintaining consistency with their core identity. This thesis explores how corporate brands navigate this tension, referred to as the corporate brand paradox, by examining newness as a practice. While existing literature recognises newness as a vital element for enabling successful change, it prima

This thesis investigates the weaponisation of healthcare in Ukraine during the ongoing conflict, analysing how deliberate attacks on medical infrastructure are not just violations of humanitarian law but systemic assaults on development, governance, and human security. Framed through a three-stage model: Disruption, Destabilisation, and Reconstruction, the study draws on Amartya Sen’s Development

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque deposition, tau pathology, and neuroinflammation, with genetic variants in the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene representing the strongest risk factor for late-onset AD. Microglia, the brain’s resident immune cells, are increasingly recognized as central to disease progression through their roles in neuroinflammation and Aβ clearance.

Det saknades länge explicit reglering avseende barns rätt till inflytande över den egna vården på hälso- och sjukvårdens område, undantaget vissa regler i speciallagstiftning. På senare år har det införts bestämmelser som uttryckligen markerar barns rätt i svensk hälso- och sjukvårdslagstiftning. Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda hur svensk hälso- och sjukvårdslagstiftning hanterar situationer där

Arbetet ämnar ge ett teoretiskt perspektiv på utformningen av det svenska lagspråket. Genom en retorisk argumentationsanalys, grundad i Chaïm Perelmans teori om föreställda publiker och Lloyd Bitzers teori om den retoriska situationen, utreds konsumentlagstiftningen i sin egenskap som meningsbärare mellan en retorisk avsändare och en retorisk mottagare. Den gamla och den nya konsumentköplagen jämfThe thesis aims to provide a theoretical perspective on the language used in the Swedish law. Through a rhetorical argumentation analysis, grounded in Chaïm Perelman’s theory of perceived audiences and Lloyd Bitzer’s theory of the rhetorical situation, the consumer sales act is investigated in its capacity as a carrier of meaning between a speaker and an audience. The old and the new consumer sale

Effective and fair taxation is imperative for development and thus sustainable peace in post-conflict countries; yet there is a glaring paucity of generalizable research on the subject. Drawing on theories from Political Economy and Comparative Politics this thesis investigates how political veto powers affect these states’ ability to mobilize domestic resources. An integrated model of delayed pol

Archaeology has always centred on material studies and has a long tradition of establishing methods for addressing the vast source material at hand. Typology is one of the most prominent of these methods, where the material is categorised into types according to morphology and geometry. There is an ongoing debate regarding the subjectivity of the typological approach and the problems that follow t

Landskapsformen drumlin har länge diskuterats inom akademin och den här studen syftar till att sprida lite ljus över dom. Genom att kartlägga två drumlinområden runt sjön Åsnen i Småland, södra Sverige har deras utsträckning kartlagts med en precision som länge ansetts omöjligt. Detta gjordes genom att använda hög upplösta hillshade modeller framtagna från LiDAR data för att efter att ha analyseraThe landform group called drumlins has since long been enigmatic; this study aims to shed some light on them. By mapping their extent in two areas around Lake Åsnen, Småland, southern Sweden, their extent and prop-erties have been mapped with a level of detail that would have been next to impossible just a few years ago. The method used in this study utilized LiDAR derived high resolution hillshad

Vertical axis wind turbines have vertical rotation axles, unlike traditional wind turbines, which rotate around horizontal axles. Vertical wind turbines convert energy from turbulent winds, pick up wind energy from all directions and are easy to serve. The noise from a vertical axis wind turbine is only one-tenth as strong as horizontal-axle wind turbines, which make it possible to place the verti

Sammanfattning Människohandel är en cynisk handel med möjlighet för förövarna att tjäna stora pengar. Risken att bli lagförd är relativt liten och straffen är förhållandevis låga. De stora orättvisorna i världen gör de utsatta människorna, främst kvinnor och barn, till ett lätt byte i denna industri. Visst finns möjligheten att tränga bort tanken att det skulle beröra oss, men den bittra sanningenSummary Human trafficking is a cynical trading with the opportunity for offenders to make big money. The risk to be tried in court is relatively small, and the penalty is relatively low. The vulnerable people in an unjust world, mainly women and children, become easy pray in this industry. We can pretend that this is not of our concern, but the bitter truth is the opposite. It is here, in the rich

By the investigation of pollution induced community tolerance (PICT), this study aimed at elucidating whether or not ionic silver (Ag+) and silver nanoparticles (AgNP) differ in toxic mode of action. Specifically, bacterial communities in natural water underwent a 6, 7 or 14 day selection for tolerance to Ag+ or citrate-coated 20 nm AgNPs. Bacterial protein synthesis was measured by [3H]-leucine i

Supervisor: Weddig Runquist Assessor: Lars Harrysson The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of imprisonment on inmates and how they cope with prison life. This essay is based on a qualitative st

Climatic condition is what ultimately frames all ecosystems and is now undergoing dramatic change. IPCC models predict, in 100 years, a temperature increase between 2-5 ˚C and, as a consequence of warmer and wetter conditions, increased humic content in northern temperate freshwater systems. To study the impact of increasing temperature and humic content on shallow freshwaters a long-term outdoor
