Ett resultat av den Europeiska unionens utvidgning är att migration från unionens fattigare länder blivit ett vanligt fenomen. Den här studien undersöker euroskepticism och euroskeptiska oppositionspartier i Sverige, med fokus på Vänsterpartiet och Sverigedemokraterna och de idéer som ligger till grund för deras föreskrivna politik i frågan. För att kunna analysera respektive partis idéer har vi g
Neuroepithelial stem (NES) cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), hold promise as a novel cell therapy for treating various neurological disorders such as, neurodegenerative diseases, spinal cord injury, and stroke. NES cells’ therapeutic potential lies in their ability to differentiate into multiple cell types and restore neuronal function. However, in order for this therapeut
EU’s green Taxonomy is a key incentive and framework to accelerate the transition towards a sustainable future. This has brought significant changes to the real estate sector's climate adaptation efforts. The Taxonomy and related reporting requirements remain relatively new, leading to limited research and uncertainty about their implementation. This study aims to analyze the impact of unclear
Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to examine how gender relations are expressed by women within the IT occupation. Moreover, our objective is also to enhance our understanding of the meanings of campaigns for increased equality, by more specifically aiming to comprehend the meaning or meanings of the #MeToo campaign. Methodology: The study is based on a qualitative abductive research approach
SCAPIS is a national project in Sweden and stands for Swedish CardioPulmonary bioImage Study. The objective of SCAPIS is to find biomarkers in order to improve the risk prediction and lower the death rate of Cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is a big health problem and is one of the main causes of death in many industrial countries. It is usually related to atherosclerosis, which is plaque buildup
Habitat fragmentation is a common problem in relation with road infrastructure which leads to mortality, isolation of animal populations, and has a negative effect on biodiversity. Animal crossings have been implemented in many countries and are a useful tool to mitigate these problems but they are expensive to build. This thesis explores the methodological approaches used to evaluate how wildlife
Many studies on how to encourage pro-environmental behaviour have been done. However, they have tended to focus on individual behaviour in isolation of social interactions despite increasing scepticism about the effectiveness of this approach in promoting the necessary transition toward a more sustainable society. Such a transition constitutes a central part of the transformational mode of sustain
Humanity's current resource use patterns are unsustainable, and corrective action is required at all levels. Grassroots social innovation groups have great potential to contribute to solutions. The Transition movement has taken hold in Canada, but little is known about its successes and challenges in creating conditions for transformative change. Aimed at social innovation practitioners as w
Medling är ett snabbt tvistlösningsförfarande med förhållandevis låga kostnader. En hög andel av alla medlingar som företas resulterar i överenskommelser som i stor utsträckning efterlevs av parterna. Mot bakgrund av medlingens förtjänster som tvistlösningsmetod undersöker uppsatsen, med fokus på kommersiella tvister, på vilka sätt medling kan främjas och i vilken utsträckning det är rättfärdigat Mediation, or conciliation, is a fast dispute resolution method with relatively low costs. A large proportion of all mediation procedures appear to result in successful agreements that are complied with by the parties. While noting the merits of mediation as a dispute resolution method, this thesis investigates, with a focus on commercial disputes, in which ways mediation can be promoted and to wh
The agenda of integration of local and indigenous knowledge (LINK) with disaster risk reduction (DRR) programmes has gained momentum since 1970s. Notwithstanding the incremental attention to LINK, researchers in this field agree that successful integration of local knowledge is difficult and the processes with such aims are not carried out fully and effectively. The purpose of this study is to pro
One widely used method for the detection of active pharmaceutical ingridients is high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). The purpose of using this technique is that it can detect low concentrations of molecules in a solution, as well as separate molecules in a solution from each other. This report will illuminate the aim to implement a method that successfully can detect zoledronic acid, wit
We present The Odonate Phenotypic Database (OPD): an online data resource of dragonfly and damselfly phenotypes (Insecta: Odonata). Odonata is a relatively small insect order that currently consists of about 6400 species belonging to 32 families. The database consists of multiple morphological, life-history and behavioral traits, and biogeographical information collected from literature sources. W
We present GlassesViewer, open-source software for viewing and analyzing eye-tracking data of the Tobii Pro Glasses 2 head-mounted eye tracker as well as the scene and eye videos and other data streams (pupil size, gyroscope, accelerometer, and TTL input) that this headset can record. The software provides the following functionality written in MATLAB: (1) a graphical interface for navigating the
Foetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is the platelet counterpart of haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn. Among Caucasians, around 80 % of FNAIT cases and some of the most severe cases, are caused by alloantibodies against the human platelet antigen 1a (HPA-1a). For around 3 decades it has been known that almost all HPA-1a-immunised women are HLA-DRB3*01:01 positive. The
Ignition and extinction characteristics of a material determine whether a fire will be initiated and grow. In fire safety engineering, where modellers deal with a multitude of materials, simplified thresholds are commonly used to determine when ignition and extinction occur.Such a threshold is the critical mass flux, which describes when sufficient fuel vapour is produced to support sustained flam
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection has become the gold standard for diagnosis and typing of enterovirus (EV) and human parechovirus (HPeV) infections. Its effectiveness depends critically on using the appropriate sample types and high assay sensitivity as viral loads in cerebrospinal fluid samples from meningitis and sepsis clinical presentation can be extremely low. This study evaluated th
Gastric bypass surgery has benefi cial effects on obesity-induced metabolic disturbances, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. As Wnt genes are both positively and negatively correlated with obesity-induced adipose tissue infl ammation and insulin resistance, our main aim is to reveal a potential role for Wnt signaling in the reversal of these metabolic consequences after gastric bypass s
