På grund av den pågående flyktingkrisen har ett exceptionellt stort antal flyktingar anlänt till EU:s gränser. Medlemsländerna som ligger i frontlinjen, som Grekland och Italien, har utsatts för ett oerhört stort högt migrationstryck. För hanteringen av denna situation antog rådet, med beaktande av EU-kommissions förslag, två beslut för omplaceringen av 160 000 personer i tydligt behov av internat
A combined document with The green teams business plan and my own theoretical reflections.
In this thesis, emphasise is on the positive impact companies that can have on the fulfilment of human rights. Regarding human rights and business, one can mainly read about companies' violations of human rights. In my opinion, this negative approach will not stimulate them to improve their policies and performances. A more positive approach can be a motivation for companies to take the opport
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 50,000 SNP-trait associations. Most of these SNPs or genetic variants map to noncoding regions, known as or gene desserts. This makes it challenging to describe the mechanism by which the variant confers susceptibility to the trait. Increasingly, there is an interest in characterization and interpretation of the effect of non-coding
In this thesis, a Glauber Monte-Carlo event generator is developed and used to analyze proton-Ion (p -$^{63}$Cu and p -$^{197}$Au) and Ion-Ion ($^{63}$Cu -$^{63}$Cu and $^{197}$Au -$^{197}$Au) collisions. Three different sub-collision models are implemented, the black disk, grey disk and oscillating grey disk models, and their validity is compared. The predicted nucleon-nucleon cross-sections by t
This thesis is a feminist study of the technological intervention in the patriarchal-authoritarian-neoliberal configuration in China. It examines how the AI-girlfriend industry shapes emotional, romantic and sexual perceptions of women and intimacy. This research employs visual and textual critical discourse analysis, while further investigating public perception through an online survey and semi-
This chapter focuses on a specific kind of governance namely sustainability governance. Combatting climate change and social inequalities calls for governance systems specifically directed to corporate sustainability. Today our companies are fiercely working on setting up efficient systems for sustainability governance. In this chapter, the reader will learn what a sustainability governance system
The interplay between innovation and measurement has fascinated scholars from several disciplines over the last decade. All these diverse contributions, however, have resulted in a current state of knowledge that is signified by large numbers of articles without clear integration and synthesis. Therefore the aim of this explorative thesis is to examine the theoretical and empirical notions of inno
Single-pass free-electron lasers constitute an example of systems with long-range interactions. The light-particle interplay leading to the power growth and successive relaxation towards a quasi-stationary state is governed by the Vlasov equation. A maximum entropy principle inspired to Lynden-Bell's theory of "violent relaxation" for the Vlasov equation can be invoked to analytically characterize
Genetic revelations in 2014 are testing traditional classification systems for movement disorders, and our approach to clinical diagnostics. Mutations in dystonia-associated genes lead to a spectrum of disorders with different phenotypes, underscoring the need for stringent clinical phenotyping of patients with movement disorders, as well as next-generation sequencing approaches.
The serine synthesis pathway comprises three steps, and genetic defects are known in each of these: 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase deficiency, phosphoserine aminotransferase deficiency and 3-phosphoserine phosphatase deficiency. The former has been reported in 24 patients. The majority of these patients have a severe infantile phenotype consisting of congenital microcephaly, intractable seizures
