The Nile, a significant river flowing northward for 4,132 miles and spanning eleven countries in northeastern Africa, holds immense importance. A key focal point is Tuti Island in Sudan, where the convergence of the White Nile and the Blue Nile forms the mighty Nile River, presenting both blessings and challenges for the local community.

Bakgrund: Anestesisjuksköterskan arbetar i en högteknologisk och komplex arbetsmiljö och ansvarar för att upprätthålla patientens vitala funktioner. En mängd störningar och distraktioner förekommer perioperativt, vilket kan beskrivas som turbulence in nursing. Störningar är förknippade med en sämre arbetsmiljö och en större risk för vårdskador. Syfte: Utifrån aktuell vetenskaplig litteratur besk

Bakgrund: Barnmorskans dagliga arbete innefattar psykosociala aspekter där empati utgör en central del. Det finns lite forskning kring påverkan på barnmorskor när de arbetar utifrån ett empatiskt förhållningssätt. Empatitrötthet innebär minskad förmåga att ge fysiskt, psykiskt och emotionellt stöd. Empatitrötthet kommer ofta smygande och kan få stora konsekvenser för barnmorskan såsom utbrändhet,

Regularly described as hotspots for marine life, seamounts are important foraging grounds for marine predators. In surface waters over seamounts, diel vertically migrating organisms can be aggregated, making seamounts potentially attractive and profitable food sources for predators such as seabirds. Still, the potential association between seabirds and seamounts has seldom been described and littl

Phytoplankton and zooplankton interactions are vital in regulating nutrient cycles and productivity in aquatic ecosystems. Nevertheless, zooplankton account for the majority of phytoplankton mortality in the ocean. Due to predation pressures, phytoplankton have evolved several defensive traits, many of them being inducible defenses such as toxin production, colony size alterations, swimming behavi

United Airlines is a major American airline company founded in 1926, which operates both domestic and international routes. They have experienced past reputational damage, and have suffered a loss in legitimacy as critics have questioned their practices. Using the Legitimacy Theory and Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) as basis, a thematic content analysis (specifically template analy

Hydrogen could play a crucial role in decarbonizing no-regret sectors, such as the steel or chemical industry. It can be produced in different ways, e.g., with renewable energy (green hydrogen) or fossil gas and Carbon Capture and Storage (blue hydrogen). Blue hydrogen could pose a risk of perpetuating fossil fuel dependence. Guided by the carbon lock-in theory, I analyzed the northern German hydr

Killer acquisition is a type of acquisition that allows the acquiring undertaking to curb market competition by preemptively removing a potentially competitive undertaking that would directly compete with the acquiring undertaking. Such an acquisition allows the acquiring undertaking to continue being the dominant provider, while consumers experience a decrease in consumer welfare. This type

Dynamiken i varumärkeskommunikationen gentemot olika målgrupper, samt dess inverkan på företagsidentitet genom digitala medier utgör en central aspekt av samtida kommunikationsstrategier.

The purpose of this master's thesis is to study how the public library can contribute to the transition into a more sustainable, resilient society. Through the phenomenon of the seed library, this thesis examines the library's ability to engage and communicate with the local community about environmental and climate related issues. The following questions were addressed: (1) Which function

Den här avhandlingen undersöker kommunikationsstrategierna som använts av Socialdemokraterna under deras betydande omställning mot ett medlemskap i Nato under en sju månaders period, påverkad av Rysslands invasion av Ukraina den 24e Februari 2022. Studien fokuserar på två forskningsfrågor som undersöker hur den radikala förändringen diskursivt har rättfärdigats och inramats, samt hur tonen och inThis thesis investigates the communication strategies employed by the Social Democratic Party regarding their significant shift in stance on Nato membership over a seven-month period, influenced by Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022. The two research questions examined are how this radical shift has been discursively justified and framed, as well as how the tone and content ha

Studien syftar till att undersöka populärkulturens roll i varumärkeskommunikation och hur populärkulturella referenser strategiskt kan användas av privata och offentliga organisationer för att skapa förtroende och positiva attityder. Vidare undersöks även om ålder påverkar attityderna. Studien har en positivistisk utgångspunkt, en kvantitativ metod och datan samlades in genom en enkät. Enkäten vis

Universum är en underlig plats som har ställt många frågor, vissa som vi svarat på men många är kvar och ännu fler är okända. En av de som vi aktivt börjat besvara är frågan om mörk materia. Hur vet vi att det finns? Hur kan vi veta mer? Vad är det? Den första av dessa delfrågor har vi redan besvarat, vi vet att mörk materia finns för att det behövs någon osynlig massa för att, bland annat, rotatiDark matter has an important role in our Universe, especially in galaxy formation and evolution, but there are many theoretical models that attempt to describe it and to find out which one, if any, are correct we must test them. Testing a theoretical model of this nature at a galactic scale must and has been done using computational methods through simulations, but this has revealed more complicat

International students migrate to study in foreign jurisdictions for many reasons. They face a number of challenges upon their arrival. These social, cultural and economic challenges can make it hard to integrate fully into the Swedish system. Students are also caught in the wider tension between universities and government policies. Higher education institutions in Sweden have promoted internatio

In recent years, businesses have been focusing on Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) to achieve better customer relationships and to identify high-value customers for more customized marketing strategies. This thesis contributes by comparing the performance of different machine learning models on cluster-specific data points and the complete dataset from the auto insurance industry. In addition, the st

Following the collapse of socialism in 1989, Eastern European countries experienced rapid socio-spatial reorganization causing a significant loss of urban greenspace (UGS). Greenspaces provide socio-environmental benefits, making them a crucial component of urban sustainability. This study explores the development of greenspace in Plovdiv (Bulgaria), which serves as a case study to understand disc

Eco-social policy seeks to provision welfare by upholding ‘social floors’ while operating within ‘ecological ceilings’, de-centering economic growth as a narrative of development. Advocates explore the role of policies integrating ecological and social goals in providing sustainable welfare. By focusing on Sweden, this thesis aims to explore the role of taxation as a tool for fostering change by a

This thesis examines the impact of secular stagnation and increasing debt levels on real long-term interest rates by estimating a SVAR model for the US, UK, and Sweden between 1902 and 2020. The results of this thesis emphasize the impact of slow productivity growth in the decline of real long-term rates since the mid-1980s, with the evidence being quite strong for the US and UK, and somewhat weak
