The aim of this thesis is to uncover the motivations of foreigners to live in Portugal, lifestyle migrants’ integration into Portuguese society, and their acknowledgement of the growing gentrification issues in Portugal. The method used in this study is Norman
Cultural tourism and cultural heritage management, while distinct disciplines with differing foci, are also inherently intertwined. However, conflicts between the two often arise due to the diverse number of stakeholders and interests involved in either the travel industry or the conservation and protection of cultural heritage. Despite this, cultural tourism can greatly benefit the conservation o
The idea of Chile as a “miracle” of neoliberal reform has been extensively confronted since October of 2019 in a large wave of protests throughout the country, by a vast majority feeling excluded from its benefits. Despite this conflict (known as the “Estallido Social”, or “Social Outbreak”) occurring exclusively in cities, previous analyses do not explicitly address the role of urban space in thi
Icke-erkända stater utgör ett främmande element i det internationella systemet. Tidigare forskning har dock visat att icke-erkända stater ofta har en beskyddarstat (patron state), som stödjer staten militärt såväl som finansiellt. Denna uppsats undersöker varför beskyddarstaten Turkiet erkänt Nordcypern, medan beskyddarstaten Armenien inte erkänt Nagorno Karabach. Fallen påminner bortsett från d
Securing access to land around the world is an issue that pervades many development agendas. Often promoted through legal and administrative systems, secure land tenure is used in the battle against poverty and to reduce land based conflict. Conceptualizations of secure tenure tend to differ between international institutions and academia. This thesis aims to understand how the World Bank concept
Recommendations stated in the TASC II guidelines for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) regard a heterogeneous group of patients ranging from claudicants to critical limb ischaemia (CLI) patients. However, specific considerations apply to CLI patients. An important problem regarding the majority of currently available literature that reports on revascularisation strategies for PAD
This thesis explores how sustainability-oriented venture capital firms (sVCs) evaluate sustainability-oriented early-stage startups. While sustainability has gained prominence in financial discourse, its role in early-stage venture evaluation remains diffuse. Startups with strong sustainability missions often face investor hesitation; not due to lack of relevance, but due to limited standardizatio
Extractivist projects are causing widespread socio-ecological destruction across Indonesia, impacting ecosystems, rural communities, and Indigenous ways of life. At the forefronts of socio-ecological collapse, women are increasingly taking up leadership roles in environmental activism. Simultaneously, women environmental defenders (WEDs) are experiencing a growing crisis of violent repression. Thi
BACKGROUND: We previously observed decreasing resection rates of non-metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma (GaC) in the US and some European countries. If and to what extent these trends affect the trends in overall survival (OS) of patients with non-metastatic GaC at the population level remain unclear. This large international population-based cohort study aimed to assess the impact of the previousl
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To determine the benefits and harms of opioid analgesics in neonates (term or preterm) receiving mechanical ventilation, compared to placebo, no drug, other opioids, other analgesics or sedatives.
DMe-DCNQI forms highly-ordered ultrathin films on various single crystal surfaces. NEXAFS reveals flat lying molecules for all investigated film thicknesses (up to 40 layers) on nearly all substrates under investigation (Ag(111), Ag(100), Cu(100), Cu(111)). The C1s and N1s NEXAFS spectra of these condensed layers show several very sharp resonances. The comparison with the quinoide molecules TCNQ a
The literature within Information Systems has approached Green IS from different perspectives and using different theoretical frameworks. The present paper analyzes the corre-lation between the existence of external pressures and Green IS adoption in the case of Swe-dish municipalities. A qualitative research was conducted, with the performance of in-depth interviews with representatives of a 4 Sw
Christian theology is in favour of interreligious dialogue without proselytism. At the same time, all religious institutions do seem to have a drive to convert those who are not already inside. Hence there is a tension. Redefine the terms seems insufficient to me. The question to deal with is rather when, how, and why is conversion allowed or even praised even though the character of dialogue with
