Distribution patterns of resources and their role in determining species distribution are not only fundamental to the understanding of ecological patterns, but also of practical significance in conservation management. Shorebirds are experiencing precipitous declines globally, especially along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF), where the major threats include the loss and degradation of ti
The refugee crisis that occurred in 2015 proved to be a historical failure for the Dublin Regulation, and it demonstrated both to policymakers and public opinion that the account of solidarity upheld was strongly outdated. If the European Union truly is a community based on shared values, then axiological changes should also result in institutional changes. Acknowledging that no radical transforma
Detta arbete ämnar att undersöka kvinnors brottslighet och hur kvinnan som brottsling skildras i två svenska tidningar. Analysmaterialet bestod sammanlagt av tio artiklar från Aftonbladet och Expressen. För att besvara arbetets syfte och frågeställningar har en kvalitativ innehållsanalys valts som metod. Genom att fokusera på ord och text i utvalda nyhetsartiklar ämnar studien att undersöka vilka
ABSTRACT Titel: Äldre universitetsstudenters sociala verklighet Författare: Carina Tolge-Blidh Sociologi kandidatkurs SOCK07 vårterminen 2021 Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten, Lunds universitet Handledare: Birgitta Ericson Allt fler äldre studenter söker sig till universitet och högskolor i Sverige. Hur upplever dessa äldre universitetsstudenter den sociala studiemiljön? På vilket sätt upplever äl
The thesis investigates the perceptions about the importance of sustainability issues in the Millennial generation and the connection of the results to sustainability accounting to show how useful it is. The focus is particularly on sustainability as a criterion for job decisions and the extent to which it influences the motivation at work. In addition, differences in perception about age, gender,
The genetic regulation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) plays a vital role in the development and function of the immune and circulatory systems. Genetic variants can lead to significant differences in HSPC-related phenotypes, and pathogenic variants can cause blood disorders and other maladies. Discovering these variants and understanding the mechanisms by which they affect an i
With climate change being one of the largest worldwide challenges of our time, it is important to prevent the loss of natural ecosystems that can act to mitigate climate change. Moreover, ensuring that urban areas are designed for human needs in conjunction with climate change adaptation/mitigation for a sustainable environment is crucial. University campus environments serve as places for study b
Ashkenazic Jews (AJs) are a population with a complex migration history. AJs have resided in Central and Eastern Europe at least since the 10th century. The geographical origins and migration history of AJs is controversial. Two hypotheses were proposed to address these questions: the "Rhineland hypothesis" that proposes a Levantine origin for AJs, assumes that Eastern European AJs desce
The transition to a sustainable economy requires smarter management of product-related data over the entire product life cycle. Most of this information is currently not optimized to be easily accessible to businesses and consumers. Therefore, politicians have an important role to play in implementing various environmental policies and product related instruments, to reduce the environmental impac
The aim of this study is to investigate how relative’s participation can relate to young adults who have contact with psychiatry. This has been done by interviewing different professions about their experiences after working in psychiatric care. To narrow the study further, it will specifically apply to a close young adult with Adhd and his or hers contact with psychiatry. The relatives can be des
The current study aims to gain a deeper understanding of the various motivations for full-time work. Based on a set of semi-structured interviews (n=10) with working parents, it investigates the interaction between individual motivations and external factors, intentions and constraints and how it shapes work time preferences. The respondent's experiences and individual motives are used to exam
One way of meeting the increasing demand for higher data rates is by building denser cellular networks in order to maximize the use of the frequency spectrum. The denser deployment leads to an increased probability of inter-cell interference, the phenomenon where the signal quality experienced by a user served by a cell is lowered because of the transmission from neighboring cells in the network.
Syfte. Studien syftade till att undersöka om tidigare språkförmåga och språkprestationer, mätt med tre deltest, kan predicera inlärning av ett nytt språk. Vidare undersöktes relationen mellan vardera deltest samt deltagarnas utbildningsnivå i relation till resultatet. Metod. 45 vuxna deltagare rekryterades till studien. Llama B och Llama D användes som mått på språkprestation och LexTALE som mått
Increasing women’s participation in peace processes has been a multilateral goal since the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1325 in 2000. This bachelor thesis explores the benefits and shortcomings of the implementation of The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 in Rwanda through a case study. The research question has therefore been phrased as following; What are the Benefits an
This research examines the board game market, which can help the client in improving their existing board games. Based on the literature review, the board game is situated in a large-scale market (Arizton, 2019) that is suitable for developing novel games. Meanwhile, this research includes a survey on popular board game mechanics and an examination of relative word games and target groups. Regardi
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide and the incidence is increasing. Women in low- and middle-income countries have a high mortality to incidence ratio mainly due to a lack of resources and organized health-care. A cheap and reliable breast diagnostic tool could enable an earlier diagnosis for low-resource countries and contribute to a reduction in breast cancer mortality. We
Due to the progressing environmental problems related to global warming, the chemical industry is transitioning from fossil to renewable feedstocks. For added environmental benefits, surplus biomass from the agricultural industry which currently does not have any high-value applications can be used for production of chemicals. This master thesis is written as a part of the tech-no-economic analysi
We analyse the effects of climate anomalies on women’s fertility in West Africa. We combine socioeconomic and fertility data from 10 rounds of Burkina Faso, Guinea, Nigeria and Mali ’s Demographic and Health Surveys and long-term high resolution spatial temperature and precipitation records to assess how women and households adapt their fertility preferences and births in response to exposure to l
I Sverige utgör principen om avtalsfrihet en grundläggande princip inom den kommersiella kontraktsrätten. Avtalsfriheten innebär att parterna själva anses kunna disponera över avtalets innehåll och utformning. Denna princip möjliggör en omfördelning av risk i förhållande till vad som hade gällt enligt dispositiv rätt. Vanligt är att det i såväl standardiserade avtal som i individuellt framtagna avThe principle of freedom of contract is a fundamental principle in commercial contract law in Sweden. Freedom of contract means that the parties themselves are considered to be able to dispose of the content and shape of the agreement. This principle enables a redistribution of risk in relation to what would have applied under optional law. It is common for both standardized agreements and individ
In this Master’s degree project I’ve researched what a harbor transformation can look like in the Arctic context of Tromsø. Tromsø has beautiful recreational surroundings but it’s not connected to the center. Cities around the world are transforming their harborfronts and I have looked at how you approach such a transformation in an arctic climate. What does a qualitative seaside public space look
