Food and the feminine self have always had a profoundly complex relationship. It has been the site of gender oppression, corporeal discipline and more recently, self-pleasure and creativity for women. It is clear that material world foodwork has provided women with a resource to navigate gender ideals, whether from a more traditional or contemporary perspective; this idea extends to foodwork in th
With an increase in temperature (T) and a change in precipitation (P) patterns due to climate change, global conditions for tree growth are changing and shifting. While some areas experience an increase in P, favoring tree growth, many regions are also predicted to show a decrease in P, leading to trends of desertification. This study examines the projected climate change in Nigeria, located in Su
This master’s thesis is written for Tetra Pak with the aim to investigate if pitting corrosion inhibition can be detected for Stainless Steel 316L in contact with dairy products in an experimental setup. The aim was also to continue developing a corrosion test method to facilitate for material selection of food pro- cessing equipment in order to reduce the extent of detrimental pitting corrosion.
This thesis is about European integration, reflected in the problem representations made by the European Union concerning asylum from the Dublin III Regulation (2013) and the Asylum and Migration Management Regulation (2020). To uncover the problem representation, Carol Bacchi's ‘What is the Problem represented to be’ has been adopted as the primary method, followed by a descriptive/comparativ
Title: The Search for Synergies - An exploration of differences in challenges and opportunities in managing sustainable activities across developed and emerging markets Seminar Date: 2024-05-30 Course: BUSN09, Degree project in International Strategic Management Authors: Adam Fornell and Clarissa Nadya Supervisor: Magnus Johansson Keywords: Multinational Corporations, Sustainable Valu
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the brand image of an incumbent manufacturer and the purchase intention for a brand extension characterized by a disruptive innovation, and to assess the effects of a sub-brand strategy. This study involves inferential survey research with a conclusive and descriptive nature. Data has been collected through a cross-sectional desi
There is a longstanding debate between environmentalists and economists regarding the possibility to combine economic growth and sustainability. So far, the neoliberal economists’ argumentation for a capitalist economic system with everlasting economic growth has been the dominating paradigm. In Sweden, one group of environmentalists able to influence policymaking without being actual decision-mak
A novel optical design for a flexible SAXS beamline at a modern synchrotron has been implemented for the CoSAXS beamline at the 3GeV ring at the MAX TV Laboratory. The performance of the beamline has been simulated through combined ray tracing and wave propagation with the code xrt taking into account the low emittance and highly coherent beam of MAX TV and the short inter-optics distances of the
Objectives To use the estimates from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 to describe patterns of suicide mortality globally, regionally, and for 195 countries and territories by age, sex, and Socio-demographic index, and to describe temporal trends between 1990 and 2016. Design Systematic analysis. Main outcome measures Crude and age standardised rates from suicide mortality and years of life
We present 77 new granite whole-rock analyses from the Qattar and Gharib areas, Eastern Desert, Egypt. Both areas include a “normal” granite and either a hypersolvus (Gharib) or an almost plagioclase-free granite (Qattar) enriched in fluorite. According to earlier results, F influences element distribution in granitic melts forming complexe
The interaction between chitosans and Langmuir monolayers mimicking cell membranes has been explained with an empirical scheme based on electrostatic and hydrophobic forces, but so far this has been tested only for dimyristoyl phosphatidic acid (DMPA). In this paper, we show that the mode of action in such a scheme is also valid for dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline (DPPC) and dipalmitoyl phosphati
Protein G is a streptococcal cell wall protein with separate and repetitively arranged binding domains for immunoglobulin G (IgG) and human serum albumin (HSA). In this work, the binding of protein G to HSA was studied. The results suggest that a single binding site is present on HSA: the apparent size of the HSA-protein G complex (230 kDa) corresponded to two or three HSA molecules bound to one p
AIM: To study the association between within-person changes in patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) and wish for joint surgery during participation in a digital first-line intervention comprising exercise and education for knee/hip osteoarthritis (OA).METHODS: Retrospective observational registry study. Participants enrolled between 01/06/2018 and 30/10/2021 with follow-up data at 3 months (n=13,961)
Background: While citizen science approaches are emerging within both social and health sciences, projects aimed at improving the living conditions of older adults remain rare. To enable forward-looking housing provision for the ageing population, valid and detailed information is needed on environmental barriers in the housing stock. Moreover, to promote active ageing and avoid involuntary moves
We describe glaci-lacustrine sediments buried under thick tills in Folldalen, south-east Norway, a site located close to the former centre of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet. Thus, the location implies that the ice sheet had melted when the sediments were deposited. The exposed ground was occupied by arctic vegetation. The best age estimate from 20 quartz luminescence dates is 55.6 ± 4.6 ka. Due to pos
Background: Cutaneous melanoma is steadily increasing worldwide. The new AJCC 8th edition was recently launched and introduced several changes in melanoma staging, particularly for stage III. We conducted a population-based registry study with the purpose to evaluate the impact and prognostic accuracy of the new classification in Sweden. Methods: Consecutive patients diagnosed with stage III melan
A search for singly produced vector-like quarks Q, where Q can be either a T quark with charge +2/3 or a Y quark with charge −4/3, is performed in proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2015 and 2016. The analysis targets Q → Wb decays where the W boson decays leptonica
