The thesis contributes to the debate of an emerging European strategic culture on the use of force. This is highly relevant in order to understand the future development of the military operations within the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). In order to be able to analyse the motivations of the following operations: Concordia, EUFOR DR Congo and Atalanta, the research builds on the constr
Serum levels of Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) have been shown to be biomarker for prediction of the quantitative aspects of ovarian reserve. On the male side, sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) DNA fragmentation index (DFI) has been demonstrated to be an important predictor of outcomes in standard IVF procedures but to less degree in intracytoplasmic sperm injection procedures (ICSI). The purpo
A search for a chargino-neutralino pair decaying via the 125 GeV Higgs boson into photons is presented. The study is based on the data collected between 2015 and 2018 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. No significant excess over the expected background is observed. Upper limits at 95% conf
Aims: Iron deficiency (ID) is a common co-morbidity in heart failure (HF), associated with impaired functional capacity, poor quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality. Treatment with intravenous (i.v.) ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) has shown improvements in functional capacity, symptoms and quality of life in stable HF patients with reduced ejection fraction. The effect of i.v. iron sup
The goal of this study, through the use of mainly an organizational theory perspective, is to examine the problems and obstacles in the cooperative work between social workers and other social actors in cases involving children at risk. The aim is to highlight problems that exist in social secretaries cooperative work and to find ways to understand them. The result showed that poor professional in
This study examines how Canadian news media discourse constructed and contested medical assistance in dying (MAiD) eligibility for people with mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition between 2020 and 2025. Drawing on boundary theory, framing theory, Wimmer’s (2008) taxonomy of boundary-making strategies, and Brante and Hallberg’s (1991) concept of incommensurability, this study app
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att få förståelse för hur det dubbla syftet med ungdomsråd att både lära ut om demokrati och ge inflytande åt ungdomar bör förstås utifrån syftena som ungdomar har med att vara delaktiga i demokratin. Studien operationaliseras genom kvalitativa intervjuer med sex ungdomar mellan 14-16 år från fyra kommunala ungdomsråd i kommuner med olika socioekonomiska förutsättniThe aim of this thesis is to gain an understanding about how the double purpose with youth councils to both teach democracy and to give youth an opportunity for influence ought to be understood based on the purposes that young people have with participating in democracy. The study is operationalised by qualitative interviews with six youths between the ages of 14-16 from four different municipal y
En mer flexibel och effektiv arbetsmarknad med olika lagregleringar har lett till en arbetsmarknad där allt fler bemanningsföretag hyr ut arbetstagare, ofta under kortare perioder. Att vara uthyrd arbetstagare ses ofta som en osäker anställningsform. Denna uppsats ämnar att undersöka konsultchefers syn på osäkra anställningsformer. Syftet är att undersöka konsultchefers perspektiv på osäkra anstäl
Climate change and environmental awareness have been a focus topic in the past years due to the increase of greenhouse emissions in the atmosphere. A significant part of the problem is the greenhouse gas emissions caused by the construction industry, whether in the early stages of construction or over the life of a building. In order to reduce human impact, several actors in the building and const
Studier visar på sämre psykisk hälsa för hbtqi-personer än övriga befolkningen och att det finns det en nära koppling mellan individers välmående, hälsa och arbetet. Syftet med den befintliga studien var att belysa de erfarenheter och den kunskap som HR-personal besitter i det främjande arbetet för hbtqi-personer psykiska hälsa på arbetsplatser i Sverige. Studien tar utifrån detta avstamp i följanStudies show that people within the LGBTQI-community have poorer mental health compared to the general population and that there is a close connection between individuals’ well-being, health, and work. The purpose of this study was to highlight the experiences and knowledge possessed by HR personnel regarding the promotion of LGBTQI-people’s mental health in workplaces in Sweden. Based on this, th
Denna B-uppsats i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, vid institutionen för kommunikation, Lunds Universitet, är skriven av Johanna Söderlund och Smilla Steinsvik. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur den amerikanska politiska rörelsen QAnon skapar politisk uppmärksamhet och tendensiös information med hjälp av internetfenomenet memes. Den valda bild som analyseras är en meme som jämför Donald
A search is presented for new resonances decaying to a W or Z boson and a Higgs boson in the ℓ+ℓ−bb¯, ℓνbb¯, and νν¯bb¯ channels in pp collisions at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider using a total integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb−1. The search is conducted by looking for a localized excess in the WH/ZH invariant or transverse mass distribution. No significant excess is o
A search for supersymmetry involving the pair production of gluinos decaying via third-generation squarks to the lightest neutralino (χ10) is reported. It uses an LHC proton-proton data set at a center-of-mass energy s=13 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb-1 collected with the ATLAS detector in 2015. The signal is searched for in events containing several energetic jets, of which at least
Background: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COV
Detta är en kvalitativ studie som studerar medialt uppmärksammade skandaler utifrån en fallstudie. Genom analyser av fem intervjuer med anställda på det statliga företaget Systembolaget, samt innehållsanalyser på artiklar från Dagens Nyheter och Aftonbladet har syftet med denna uppsats varit att undersöka vilken betydelse och funktion medierna har vid konstruerandet av en skandal, hur de framställ
The United States and the European Union operate under the similar design of a federal structure and their labor markets face similar tax discrimination challenges. Case law illustrates how the goal of a common market present in both unions is highly influential on the respective Courts and provides a flexible structure to protect individuals against discriminatory tax legislation. It is the centr
The news media remains as one of the most important sources of societal uptake of climate change information. Its potential to covertly shape public perception and attitudes regarding climate change is therefore considerable but difficult to assess. This thesis underscores the discursive and cognitive role of metaphor in this dynamic by using a framework that combines the theory of conceptual meta
En webbenkät utformades i syfte att göra en explorativ studie om hur män som lever i samkönad relation ser på sina olika alternativ till att bli föräldrar samt hur de kan förstås. Med olika alternativ till att bli föräldrar gavs fem alternativ; adoption, surrogatmödraskap/värdmödraskap, med lesbisk kvinna, med hetero-/bisexuell kvinna samt med samkönat par. Sammanlagt var det 24 män som besvarade An online survey was designed to explore how men living in a same-sex-relationship assess different alternatives to become parents and how the alternative can be understandable. With different alternatives to parenthood, five options are emphasized; adoption, surrogate, with lesbian woman, with heterosexual / bisexual woman and with same-sex couples. A total of 24 responses were analysed:eight men
