In this thesis we study analytical and numerical methods which describe interactions and evolution of complex physical systems modeled by microscopic processes. We focus on two types of systems which are differentiated based on how modeling is taking place at the microscopic level. In that respect we study systems which can be described either by stochastic differential equations or by elementary
In this field study it is examined how the new Kenyan constitution, approved in 2010, has affected conflicts related to land. The study is based on a combination of quantitative data, conducted through standardized interviews with 90 people living in areas affected by land disputes, and qualitative data, gathered through deep-interviews with seven policy experts, all being differently involved in
The transformational mode of sustainability science is concerned with generating actionable knowledge and practical solutions to complex sustainability challenges in order to facilitate a transition towards sustainability by strategizing transformational pathways. However, some scholars in the field believe that sustainability science lacks such capacity, since so far greater focus has been put on
This thesis examines how moral discourse concerning FGM/C is articulated by the NGOs Amazonian Initiative Movement (AIM) and Advocacy Movement Network (AMNet) and with what consequences. It is a case study about these two organisations which uses content analysis as the main data collecting and analysing strategy. The theoretical framework describes the contemporary debate regarding FGM/C and cate
The adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation proclaimed Europe’s stance on the significance of the right to data privacy today whereas digital technologies have prevailed all around the globe and all spheres of our lives. Digitalization is thus a phenomenon that has ever since drawn attention from leaders and policymakers which why the Regulation along with other European privacy regimes
Lignin accounts for 15 – 30 % of plant biomass, but is till today remarkably underutilized, mainly due to its heterogeneity and recalcitrance towards depolymerization. The bacterial conversion of lignin into value added chemicals is a highly promising approach to overcome this underutilization and can help to improve the economic competitiveness of the biorefinery concept. In the current study, 1
Anti-genderism and anti- “gender ideology” discourses have been taken place in various parts around the world including Latin America and Europe. Political parties and social and religious movements have been mobilising against “gender ideology” in elections and protests defending the traditional family model. This thesis investigates such discourses from an ontological (in)security lenses by cond
Germany’s Energy Concept aims to reduce the building sector’s primary energy demand by 80% compared to 2008 levels, of which 20% are to be achieved by 2020. This requires significant investment in integrated renewables and thermal. Public funds cannot finance such transition alone. Therefore, it is crucial to not only understand current investment levels and potential investment gaps, but also to
The study investigates the underlying factors and motives that led to the planning of collective housing in Sweden, from the 1930s until today. The brand new collective housing KomBo is used as an example to illuminate the current practice for collective housing planning. Through a critical review of various planning related documents and a total of five interviews, the study conclude the followin
När någon går bort försvinner inte det den avlidne efterlämnar sig automatiskt. Ett dödsbo bildas som omfattar den avlidnes tillgångar och skulder. Normalt sett kommer dödsboet att förvaltas av dödsbodelägarna, det vill säga de som på något sätt kommer ha del av det som ingår i dödsboet genom arv eller genom testamente. Det ska eventuellt göras en bodelning mellan efterlevande make och dödsboet. DWhen a person passes away, an estate takes form which includes all the deceased’s assets and liabilities. Normally the estate is being taken care of by the parties to the estate. The parties to the estate is everyone who has a rightful claim on the estate, either by heritage according to Swedish law or according to a will from the deceased. Sometimes a division of the joint property between the sp
Macroalgae are important habitats which can be found almost all over the world. An alteration has been observed from perennial species to annual filamentous algae during the last decades. This change has affected the abundance, diversity and composition of the invertebrate fauna living in these habitats. This study observes how the increasing amounts of epiphytic, filamentous algae growing on the
Den rättsliga utredningens avsikt är att besvara frågan om huruvida det är möjligt att ställa arbetsrättsliga villkor i en upphandling där utstationering förekommer. Uppsatsen visar att det finns ett visst utrymme att ställa arbetsrättsliga villkor i en offentlig upphandling. För att sådana krav ska vara förenliga med EU-rätten måste de dock överensstämma med EU:s allmänna upphandlingsprinciper. DThe purpose of this study is to illustrate the interaction between the EU rules on public procurement and the regulation of posted workers. The intention is therefore to discuss the role of labor requirements in public procurement regulations at an EU level. In order to answer the research question this study will investigate the EU rules on posted workers and public procurement. In addition, case
With the Lisbon Treaty in place, the EU has the legal basis to accede to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The aim of the accession is to strengthen the protection of human rights in Europe, and give European citizens the same protection vis-à-vis acts of the Union as they presently enjoy from member states. EU’s accession to the ECHR is welcomed, but as great as it is in theory as c
International human rights law and international humanitarian law are traditionally two distinct branches of law, one dealing with the protection of individuals, the other with the conduct of parties to an armed conflict. There is today a recognition that international human rights law is applicable in situations of armed conflict, in parallel with international humanitarian law. The aim of this M
Geographical Indications (GIs) are collective property rights, which identify a good as originating from a specific geographical region. If the producers of GI products can signal to the consumers the specific qualities their products possess, qualities that are attributable to the land, then – due to the products ties to their region of production – GI products are considered to have potentials t
The field of wireless communication is growing rapidly, with new requirements for the next generation of mobile and wireless communications technology. In order to achieve the capacities needed for future wireless systems, the design and implementation of advanced communications techniques such as multiantenna systems is required. These systems are realized by computationally complex algorithms, r
Aims: To explore the incidence, severity, time course, and risk factors of clinically significant hyponatremia in desmopressin treatment for nocturia. Methods: Data from three multi-center phase 111 trials were pooled. Hyponatremia was categorised as borderline (134-130 mmol/L) or significant (<130 mmol/L). Risk factors were explored with logistic regression and subgroup analysis performed to expl
Purpose: The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program expedites patient recovery after major surgery. This study aimed to investigate the role of the triad of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cells (WBC) trajectories as a predictive biomarker for the anastomotic leak (AL) after colorectal surgery. Method: Patients who had colorectal anastomosis were prospectivel
This text is a qualitative study based on interviews with gender non normative co-parents who have experiences with the Danish healthcare system in the process of becoming a parent. The study explores how experiences with the healthcare system can be understood as a part of their subjectivation. Through the lens of queer feminism, represented by Judith Butler, it thus critically investigates how s
