In the context of the European Green Deal, this study investigates the relationship between climate finance and green technological innovation in European Union member states during the period 2014–2022. To this end, environmental protection expenditure is used as a proxy for climate finance, while environmental patent activity is adopted as a proxy for green technological innovation. The stud
The city can be understood as a series of processes: it is ever-changing and its spaces are under constant (re-)negotiation. It is defined by meetings, gestures and exchange. Between people and surfaces. It consists of tens of thousands of parallel, sequential, simultaneous events that overlap and move through shared time and space. This thesis is rooted in a fascination for the infra-ordinary o
Arbetet undersöker hur arkitektonisk fasadgestaltning kan utvecklas genom inspiration från samtida offentlig konst, i syfte att återintroducera ornamentala kvaliteter och stärka exteriöra offentliga rum. Genom teoretiska, empiriska och designbaserade undersökningar prövar arbetet hur konstnärliga och arkitektoniska strategier kan integreras i arkitekturens fasadornamentik och därigenom bidra till
As Thailand swiftly transitions into a super-aged society, the government has implemented aged care policies rooted in neoliberal principles, emphasising "active ageing" and reliance on family support. However, this governance approach is not exclusive to the region but is recognised as a global phenomenon. Thus, this thesis explores how global neoliberal frameworks are discursively embe
This study focuses on Xiaohongshu, a popular social media and e-commerce platform in China today, to explore how feminists engage in digital political participation on this platform and how they build affective solidarity through their online interactions. With its high proportion of female users, Xiaohongshu is gradually evolving into an emerging field for contemporary Chinese feminist political
This thesis examines the process through which signals of institutional divergence are interpreted and translated into political risk assessments and advice given to firms entering the Czech Republic and Slovakia. With a particular focus on business advisors, the study examines how institutional signals are identified, interpreted, consolidated, and translated into advice for firms entering the tw
This study examines and analyzes the Albanian government's decision to appoint the world's first AI minister; in its uniqueness, this decision represents a turning point in the application of artificial intelligence, interpreted and utilized as a potential means to strengthen democratic governance. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent bid for European Union membership marked
Abstract This bachelor’s thesis examines how statelessness and transgender identity shape the lived experiences of stateless Palestinian transgender individuals. The study explores how different forms of exclusion are produced through the interaction of legal status, gender identity, and social recognition. It is based on a qualitative text analysis of secondary empirical material, including quali
This study examines how anti-gender discourse is legitimized through the imitation of academic forms in the Swedish context. The study focuses on Ars ludendi Universitaria, an anonymous document that adopts academic conventions while advancing claims about gender, sexuality, biology and social hierarchy. The purpose of the study is to examine how the document constructs legitimacy and how anti-gen
In efforts to find synergies or trade-offs between the environmental and social pillars of policies aimed at sustainable development, a key set of issues are often discussed in terms of geographical scale. The aim of this paper is to critically examine the framings of social and environmental sustainability challenges as scale-related (such as local - global or North-South) involved in processes i
Schíma – morphḗ – íchos is a reactive installation-performance that brings together visual, physical and sonic dimensions to explore ways of coping with a changing environment. The material history of nine objects crafted from steel is negotiated anew in the present tense, through the eyes, hands and ears of the two performers and the audience.The objects presented in this installation-performance
Differential Riccati equations (DREs) are semilinear matrix- or operator-valued differential equations with quadratic nonlinearities. They arise in many different areas, and are particularly important in optimal control of linear quadratic regulators, where they provide the optimal feedback control laws. In the context of control of partial differential equations, these Riccati equations are operaDifferential Riccati equations (DREs) are semilinear matrix- or operator-valued differential equations with quadratic nonlinearities.

In this work we introduce a new method for the construction of minimal submanifolds of codimension two in even dimensional spheres and hyperbolic spaces. This is based on the theory of complex-valued harmonic morphisms. This gives the first explicit examples of such maps defined on the sphere S^4 and the hyperbolic space H^4.
