The third UN Millennium Development Goal promotes “achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women” (UNDP 2013). It reflects the fact that violence against women (VAW) is a problem of global proportions which hinders the achievement of gender equality and at the same time has negative effects on countries’ social and economical well-being. In Peru, numerous efforts by the government, nation
This Master’s thesis aims at examining the light rail project in Lund, Sweden, and its discursive and material foundations as well as consequences. Through a discourse analytical deconstruction of the project, the thesis analyses the essence and legitimacy of the political process and its construction of urban visions of the desirable city, for which the building of a light rail system is being po
We give approximation and online algorithms as well as data structures for some well studied problems in computational geometry. The thesis is divided into three parts. In part one, we study problems related to guarding, exploring and searching geometric environments. We show inapproximability results for guarding lines and 2-link polygons, question stated time bounds for computing shortes
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
This thesis analyses the Spanish tax system between 1960 and 1990, with special attention to its effects on the income distribution. It provides with a quantitative consistent evaluation of the reforms that took place during transition to democracy.Because of the long dictatorship suffered by the country between 1936/39 and1976, Spain introduced the 20th Century tax ideas with a considerable lag w
Den tekniska utvecklingen inom artificiell intelligens (AI), maskininlärda algoritmer och datainsamling har möjliggjort den profilering och det automatiserade beslutsfattandet enskilda dagligen exponeras för. Profilering och automatiserat beslutsfattande består av en uppsättning tekniker, inklusive användning av algoritmer i syfte att utvinna kunskaper ur stora datamängder. Profilering är en automThe technical development in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning algorithms and data collection has made profiling and automated decision-making possible. Individuals are exposed to AI on a daily basis. Profiling and automated decision-making consist of techniques, including the use of algorithms in order to extract knowledge from large amounts of data. Profiling is an automated process
In the last years, a lack of trust in multi-lateral agreements has been rising, in part because of the absence of a global legally binding environmental regime, since the end of the Kyoto Protocol. The urban climate governance arena has been emerging as a much more promising scenario for climate action. Municipalities have been setting an ambitious climate agenda, planning for climate mitigation a
To roll its dung-ball along straight paths across the African Savanna, the ball-rolling dung-beetle Kheper lamarcki (Mac Leay, 1821) utilizes a broad repertoire of celestial compass cues. These include the position of the sun and the polarization pattern that forms around it. It is hypothesized that a celestial snapshot of these cues needs to be stored in order to support orientation. However, it
This master’s thesis examines the escalation of the Sino-Indian border conflict in the summer of 2020. Using a modified version of Graham Allison’s multi-lens model, variants of realism, institutionalism and constructivism are applied to the case in order to find explanatory factors. The different theoretical schools also serve to clearly delineate what assumptions the identified aspects are based
I följande uppsats kommer jag att undersöka rättsprincipen negotiorum gestio. Principen stadgar rätten till ersättning vid ingripande för annans intresse vid den personens frånvaro. Den hjälpande kallas gestor och den som åtnjuter tjänsten huvudman. Rättsinstitutet har historia tillbaka till det romerska riket och har sedan dess levt kvar rättsbildningen. I Sverige har aldrig någon kodifikation avThe following essay investigates the principle of negotiorum gestio – also known as benevolent intervention. The core actors of the principle are the helper called gestor and the helped called dominus. The principle regulates reimbursements to the gestor when managing dominus business in their absence. The principles emerged in the ancient roman empire due to its massive expansion and is still rec
The project is to design a small scale lodge on Nsadzi Island in Lake Victoria. It should have the capacity to accommodate about 20 guests overnight, but the possibility for larger events if needed. Since it is crucial to the economical sustainability of the hotel to be able to accommodate a maximum of guests as early as possible, the development should be considered as a planned evolution from in
This thesis is a case study on the family reunification procedure for refugees in Denmark, in the context of an increasingly restrictive environment. It sought to find out how structural facets of Danish immigration law interact with and influence the practices of navigating a family reunification process, for people with a refugee background. Two phases of semi-structured interviews were conducte
During the last decades the Swedish Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Services (CAP) has undergone major organizational changes. According to social research the changes are mainly due to new public management reforms. The aim of this study was to examine how social workers, i.e. psychiatry counsellors, experienced and coped with their working conditions within CAP. The method chosen for this study
Human trafficking is the third largest illegal source of income, after drugs and weapon. The purpose of this study is to investigate why people fall victims for human trafficking and to study wherein the court of justice discusses the victims social background in their court-‐‑cases. That is to say, the circumstances that is beyond the borders of Sweden. The essay also highlights how aid organiza
Perspectives on the role of children and young people in peacebuilding often overlook youth agency. However, the growth of critical theories in peace and conflict studies in the later decades has shone a new light on the need to acknowledge youth as parties to peacebuilding. Through a lens of peace education, this paper analyzes the discourse on youth agency in the context of the largest youth mov
In this thesis a preliminary evaluation of the potential of a leghemoglobin (Lb) for the development of a blood substitute in humans, resembling hemoglobin (Hb) in red blood cells, was conducted. Leghemoglobin B (VfLbB), a gene from Vicia faba, was cloned into a pET-DEST42 vector, using the Gateway™ recombination technology. The recombinant vector containing VfLbB was sequenced and confirmed. Then
Today's economy is unsustainable as it leads to the over consumption of raw materials and other resources. The circular economy is an idea for an economy based on circular principles. One of the key principles is that society must work to reach higher up the waste hierarchy, and prosecution of recycling and waste prevention. One of the circular economy's building blocks are business models
