The initiative to unite the economies of the Americas into a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) is increasingly threatening the survival of the indigenous people making them coalesce into transnational coalitions with people throughout the region. The aim of this thesis is to examine how the threats posed by the proposed FTAA and the opportunities of transnational activism opposing it has infl

During the years 1964-1992 Chevron (under the Texaco brand) drilled for oil in the Amazon, leaving behind what would be referred to as”the Chernobyl in the Amazon”. With the ability to be everywhere and nowhere, with capital and power, transnational corporations dictate the premises on which they can be hold accountable for human rights abuses. This essay aims at investigating TNCs responsibiliti

The Troubles in Northern Ireland have played a prominent part in modern European history. Despite the success of the Peace Process in the 1990s and subsequent stabilisation of the conflict through the introduction of power-sharing and paramilitary decommissioning of weapons, tensions still dominate the province. This thesis uses the Copenhagen School of Security Studies to investigate processes of

MRSA är ett ökande internationellt problem, vilket medför att fler patienter behöver vårdas i isolering. Syftet med studien var att beskriva sjuksköterskors och MRSA-bärande patienters och erfarenheter av isoleringsvård samt vad sjuksköterskan kan göra för att förbättra denna. Till litteraturstudien granskades och analyserades elva vetenskapliga artiklar. Integrerad analys användes till resultatet

Syftet med studien var att skaffa kunskap om varför patienter med höftledsartros inte utnyttjar vårdgarantin inför operation i större grad. Semistrukturerade intervjuer användes. Tio patienter med höftledsartros intervjuades. Vid bearbetning och analys av materialet har analytisk induktiv metod använts.Resultatet visade att patienternas behov av trygghet, god kvalitet eller lättillgänglighet inte

Syftet med studien är att se vad attityderna till donation är blandkvinnor och om den skiljer sig åt mellan kvinnliga sjuksköterskestuderande och övriga kvinnliga studenter utan sjukvårdserfarenhet. Enkäterna delades ut till femtio kvinnliga studenter. Tjugofem studenter vid Institutionen för omvårdnad och tjugofem övriga kvinnliga studenter vid Lunds Universitet. I resultatet framkom att man i my

The production of 1 ton of PVC requires 2.0 - 2.5 m3 of demineralised water. Some of the water is lost in the process, e.g. as vapor during the drying of the PVC or as sealing water, while approx. 80% of the water could potentially be recycled. In today’s installations only about 20 – 25% of the water recovered by the PVC decanter is used for flushing of the facilities, while 75 – 80% is discharge

Tolerance induction, and thus prevention of autoimmunity, is linked with the amount of self-antigen presented on thymic stroma. We describe that intrathymic (i.t.) delivery of the autoantigen, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), via a lentiviral vector (LV), led to tolerance induction and prevented mice from developing fulminant experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). This protecti

OBJECTIVE: Changes in ECG-derived parameters are studied in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients undergoing cryoballoon catheter ablation.APPROACH: Parameters characterizing f-wave frequency, morphology by phase dispersion, and amplitude are estimated using a model-based statistical approach. These parameters are studied before, during, and after ablation, as well as for AF type (paroxysmal/persisten

Syfte: Det övergripande syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vad som förklarar förändringen i företags framtida utdelning. Mer specifikt ämnas undersöka om en förändring i kreditbetyg påverkar ett företags nästkommande års utdelning, samt om tidigare observerade samband och teorier håller på den europeiska marknaden. Metod: Denna kvantitativa studie har en explorativ inriktning med deduk-tiv an

A responsible and sustainable water resources management is important. It is also crucial to take the presence of watercourses into account during design of hydraulic structures such as small dams and bridges. Doing this requires knowledge of estimates of annual streamflow and extreme flows to be used for design purposes. This study is divided into two parts, both focusing on the departments of Sa

Beowulfkvädet skrevs antagligen ned någon gång på 1000-talet och eftersom att vi bara har en kopia av manuskriptet kvar kan vi med säkerhet säga att historien om Beowulf inte ändrats de senaste 1000 åren. Trots detta har våra tolkningar av Beowulfkvädet varierat kraftigt de senaste 100 åren. Jag har med hjälp av ett 40-tal översättningar och analyser av Beowulfkvädet skrivna mellan åren 1901-2018 The Beowulf manuscript was probably written sometime during the eleventh century and since we only have one copy of the manuscript we can say for sure that the story of Beowulf has not changed during the last 1000 years. Regardless of this our interpretations of the Beowulf manuscript has changed dramatically the last 100 years. I have with the help of over 40 different translations and analyses o

Den stora flyktingkrisen som råder i Europa har resulterat i att många länder nu står inför en oförutsedd integrationsutmaning. Sverige är ett av de länder som un- der de senaste åren tagit emot flest flyktingar, vilket har resulterat i ett införande av en ny anvisningslag som kräver att alla svenska kommuner ska ta emot och ordna bostad och sysselsättning till ett visst antal nyanlända varje år. The refugee crisis in Europe has had many countries experience an unforeseen challenge of integration. Sweden has received one of the largest amounts of refu- gees during the recent years, which has resulted in a new distribution law requir- ing all Swedish municipalities to help arrange accommodation and employment. However, researchers have discussed whether these arrangements are sufficient for

In this study I analysed reduplicative ablaut ideophones in English for their morphosyntactical properties, as ideophones in other languages have been found to have several marked characteristics in this respect. Informed by the typology of ideophones in other languages, my research questions were whether the reduplicatives would appear integrated into or outside of sentences, if they would fill f

Sedan den offentliggjordes i december 2020 har Europeiska kommissionens förordning om digitala marknader (DMA) blivit en hörnsten i det europeiska regelverket, med syftet att adressera "Big Tech"-företagens dominans och främja rättvisa i Europas digitala plattformsekonomi. DMA riktar in sig på illojala metoder och svag konkurrens i den digitala ekonomin, med fokus på datadriven dominans Since its publication in December 2020, the European Commission's Digital Markets Act (DMA) has become a cornerstone of the European legislative framework, aiming to address the dominance of the ‘Big Tech’ companies and promote fairness in Europe's digital platform economy. The DMA targets unfair practices and weak competition in the digital economy, focusing on data-driven dominance by im

The widespread adoption of drones has presented new requirements for reliable localization and tracking systems. For this reason acoustic sensing has become an area of growing interest for a passive and cost-effective solution. However, process- ing large amounts of microphone data in real time presents significant hardware challenges. This thesis studies two different types of signal channelizati
