När man går på bio eller sitter hemma i soffan och ser på film tänker man sällan på filmens egentliga innehåll och symbolik. Man ser på filmen för att slappna av eller för att tänka på något annat. Syftet med denna uppsats är att framförallt analysera de kvinnliga karaktärerna i Lord of the Rings ur ett genusperspektiv och att höja medvetandet om dessa karaktärers roll i filmerna. Framför allt kom
For more than 40 years the case-law of the European Court of Justice has been developing the principle of prohibition of abuse of law in the European Union. However, in the sphere of value-added tax, the principle was invoked by the Court for the first time in 2006 in the landmark case Halifax, creating a tension between this emerging principle and the principle of legal certainty observed and pro
This article studies the consequences of adult income resulting from exposure to poverty at the neighbourhood and family levels for children aged 1-17 in Southern Sweden from 1947 to 1967. We used geocoded information at the address level to identify k-neighbourhoods of various sizes and applied both relative and absolute poverty measurements, all yielding similar results. Moreover, our longitudin
Our ultimate research vision is to discover, develop and implement novel neuroprotective and neurorestorative therapies for neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntingtons disease and stroke. My group works with translational research that is tightly linked to clinical research questions. Our experimental focus is to understand neurovascular disease mechanisms. We examine the dysfu
Malign hypertermikänslighet Malign hypertermikänslighet (malign hypertermi MH) är en ärftlig muskelåkomma, där narkos kan utlösa en potentiellt dödande ökning av ämnesomsättningen. Utredning sker huvudsakligen med hjälp av en öppen muskelbiopsi, i vissa fall med mutationsdiagnostik. MH enheten i Lund är ett nationellt centrum. Vår forskning har två huvudinriktningar Genetik: Vi har samarbete meMalign hypertermikänslighet Malignant hyperthermia is a hereditary muscle disease, which can be triggered by anesthesia. This may result in a potentially life-threatening increase in the metabolism. Evaluation of the patients occurs mainly through muscle biopsi, sometimes with mutation diagnostica. The MH unit i Lund is a national centra. The reasech can be divided in 2 parts: Genetic: The aim o
The purpose of this paper is to propose a new approach for categorizing the body of knowledge captured in the existing literature, past and present in such a way that contributions to the use side of systems development are made explicit. The new twist of this approach is that it seeks to bridge the most prevalent divides currently fragmenting the IS literature by offering an integrative classific
American consumption based lifestyles have a grave impact on the environment and personal wellbeing of Americans, creating unhealthy consumption patterns, unforeseen negative effects on individuals, and ultimately unsustainable lifestyles overall. Voluntary simplicity (VS), or individuals who resist consumerist tendencies seeking a higher quality of life through simplicity, is an answer to these c
This paper assesses the impact of carbon emissions on European stock returns. The author aims to find out whether a carbon premium – companies with higher carbon emissions experiencing higher returns – exists as firms need to compensate investors for the risk they are taking. To achieve the goal, fixed effect model is estimated using panel data comprising 600 companies listed in the Euro STOXX 600
AimsTo assess the variation in ovarian carcinoma type diagnosis among gynaecological pathologists from Nordic countries, and whether a rationally designed panel of immunohistochemical markers could improve diagnostic reproducibility. Methods and resultsEight pathologists from four countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland) received an educational lecture on the diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma
BackgroundCrop yields are lowest in sub-Saharan Africa compared to other regions, and this is true even for such an important staple crop as maize. Persistence of patches of low crop vigour side-by-side to patches with healthier maize crops has been shown to significantly contribute to low yields on smallholdings. Farmers' perspectives on the presence of such poor patches are important as far as t
