Indigenous peoples are one of the most marginalized social groups in Ecuador. Emerging as a new actor contesting this situation, indigenous youth defenders (IYD) appear to be leading initiatives that promote indigenous rights in the country. Thus, grounded in Social Movements Theory, this thesis aims to explore the perceived role of IYD in broadening the promotion of indigenous rights and identiti
This research was done to analyse how different heat treatment processing conditions influence the properties of milk. The focus was on high temperature heat treatment, namely extended shelf life (ESL) and ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk. The milk processing was performed in the range of 124 - 143 ℃ for 1 and 4 seconds. The analyses that were done involved nutritional and technological propertie
The gastrointestinal tract encounters foreign antigens, commensal bacteria and nutrients on a daily basis. Under steady state conditions, a regulatory immune system maintains gut homeostasis. However, disruption of the balance between regulatory components and defeating invading pathogens leads to overshooting inflammatory reactions that can culminate in chronic and relapsing intestinal inflammati
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a childhood cancer contributing to several cases of cancer related deaths in children every year. The oncogene MYCN is known to be related to a worse outcome in patients with NB and is found in approximately 20 % of the cases. MYCN is controlled during normal development, however in NB it is dysregulated. The understanding of NB has been hampered due to the lack of embryonic
Problem description Multiple cases show that companies can improve performance after implementing an AutoStore system. However, research on optimizing the design and how to successfully control the AutoStore system is limited. Furthermore, studies focusing on optimizing operations around Robot-based Compact Storage and Retrieval Systems (RCSRS) in general, are important for the development of ope
Since the 1950's, mass tourism has become a considerable part of modern western culture. Examining where, why and how people have traveled can tell us a lot about people's habits and cultural frames of reference. Yet, the area of tourism history is fairly uncharted, with travelogs being one of the more prevalent objects of interest for academic research. Research focused on travel guides a
This study explores dance as a bodily and spatial resistance. The aim of the study is to investigate stories about and experiences of working with dance to explore the potential of dance as a resistance strategy. The study is based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with dancers, choreographers and project developers, coupled with a thematic analysis. Based on the interviewees’ stories, the

This master thesis was done in collaboration between the division of Production and Materials Engineering at Lund University, Faculty of Engineering, and Nolato MediTor AB. The company, located in Torekov, offers a variety of solutions for the medical device and pharmaceutical industries. The project was performed in the extrusion department that manufactures a wide variety of medical tubes and ho
This study examines the rhetorical situation of door-to-door canvassing through qualitative research interviews with partisan canvassers from the Social Democratic Party in Malmö, Sweden, with the theoretical framework of Lloyd F. Bitzer's "The Rhetorical Situation" (1968). The study concludes that door-to-door canvassing is situational in its form, and must therefore respond to audi
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused division among nations, with large parts of the Global South either refraining from condemning Russia or outright criticizing the West for its pro-Ukraine stance. It highlights the need to examine Russia’s public diplomacy efforts and ability to attract parts of the Global South in the context of the war. Based on this notion, the following thesis examin
Denna uppsats syftar till att få en djupare förståelse för vilka utmaningar COVID-19 pandemin och övergången till distansarbete har skapat för chefer i Sverige, samt att förstå hur chefer kan överkomma utmaningarna som uppstår. Uppsatsen kan därför bidra med ökad förståelse kring svenska chefers ledarskap vid distans- och hybridarbete. Metodvalet i uppsatsen har bestått av insamling av kvalitativ
The chirality-flow formalism provides a simple but efficient way to rewrite and evaluate Feynman diagrams and has recently been shown to also optimize automated numerical scattering matrix element evaluations in massless tree-level QED. In this thesis we extend the numerical QED model to massless tree-level QCD in the MadGraph5_aMC@NLO framework. It is shown that a good gauge choice for external g
The increased prevalence of obesity is causing challenges on individual and socioeconomic levels. Neuronal subtypes of the hypothalamus control appetite regulation through the secretion of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters. Our limited knowledge of early molecular patterning of the human hypothalamus sets a challenge to design human in vitro models for cellular studies and drug screening. In
In this thesis we introduce the notion of elliptic functions, and in particular Weierstrass' Elliptic Function, in order to define the modular function $\lambda$ on the upper half plane. We establish a group ismorphism between the unimodular transformations and $\Aut{\C\setminus\{0,1\}}$. In particular this gives two functional equations involving $\lambda$, and with these equations we show th
In an era of rapid technological advancements, the digital economy has witnessed significant transformations, resulting in the emergence of dominant technology giants. The rising dominance of companies like Google and Amazon has raised concerns in the European Union (“EU”) regarding fair competition and consumer welfare. This thesis comprehensively examines the impact of digital markets and online
Averting catastrophic climate change requires private businesses to reach net zero emissions while staying within 1.5°C of global warming. The nonprofit organization Project Drawdown and the literature suggest that companies have to engage all capacities to achieve ambitious emissions reductions, including their social power, governance, political advocacy, finance, and employee creativity. I eval
This Bachelor’s degree project investigates how to create a modular chair system. It should let the consumer combine different parts to create a chair that fits their home, style and needs. The focus is on how a low number of parts can be used in different ways to create differentcombinations. It should also be easy to replace and recycle all parts when needed. This document shows the full design
