The main purpose of this paper was to attempt to explain and to understand the causes of various types of eating disorders. The intention of the essay was to examine who are the different parties acting in this particular field that through research or other kinds of work, come to meet individuals that suffer from some kind of eating disorder. The aim was to explore the different concepts used wi
The ongoing Europeanisation is readily identifiable in our day-to-day life. Particularly in the field of law, the elaboration of a uniform and harmonised European private law is promoted and a truly European legal science is forced. Yet, comparative law and unification of law have concentrated on certain areas, which include mainly commercial law and related areas of civil law. The main issue of t
This thesis analyses whether intellectual property rights promote or restrain technology transfer to developing countries and what effect the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement have on technology transfer to developing countries. Technology transfer is traditionally used as a means to increase the technological knowledge of countries, and there hav
Given the extent and urgency of many sustainability challenges it is crucial that individuals change their behaviour to steer society towards a more sustainable future. Yet, a variety of barriers exist that hinder sufficient individual pro-environmental behaviour. As it is not only important to understand these barriers but also how to facilitate more pro-environmental behaviour, my research aim i
The compact city model emerged as a sustainable response against the dominant trend of urban sprawl. However, the compact city model is not without controversy. Many scholars have questioned the veracity, feasibility and desirability of the compact city through three sets of critiques. Results from the desirability dimension have led to criticism of the model for running counter to the residential
In Zambia, the privatisation of state owned companies is challenging job security, working conditions and workers’ rights. It has also weakened the role of government as a regulator of labour legislation, which in Zambia is quite progressive, compared to other countries in the region. Workers struggle to survive and therefore turn to trade unions in order to change their situation. This study exam
Problembeskrivning: Det inte är helt problemfritt att samarbeta ifrågasätter vi hur samarbeten ska kunna enas kring vad och hur de olika aktörerna vill att destinationens profil ska förmedlas, då aktörerna har olika utgångspunkter. Vi menar att aktörernas olika utgångspunkter kan göra det svårt att bli eniga i hur profilen ska förmedlas vilket kan bli problematiskt om arbetet med en profil ska lyc
Syftet med arbetet är att göra en fallstudie, för att undersöka om en enhets arbete på det samhällsvetenskapliga programmet, successivt kan leda till ett lärande på en högre nivå. Enheten har valt en pedagogisk strategi för att nå dit. I denna ingår introduktionsperiod, tvärvetenskapliga studier, handledningstid och mentorskap med portfolio. Till grund för enhetens val av strategi ligger den tolkn
The consumption of plastic bags is a global problem that leads to increased concentration of plastic in the world oceans. In 2014, annual consumption of plastic carrier bags amounted to around 100 billion in the EU, which corresponds to an average of about 200 bags per person per year, of which many plastic bags are used only once and/or end up as waste in nature. This thesis is a comparative case
I sexualbrottmål består inte sällan bevisningen i huvudsak av målsägandens utsaga och det är därför den som blir central vid bevisvärderingen. En bedömning av en utsaga är i sig komplex, men försvåras ytterligare när målsäganden är ett barn. För att säkerställa materiellt korrekta domar bör faktorerna som beaktas vid bevisvärderingen av en utsaga i största möjliga mån bygga på antaganden med stöd In cases regarding sexual offenses, the evidence often consists essentially of the victim’s testimony, which is why it becomes the main focus in the evaluation of evidence. An assessment of a testimony is in itself complex, but gets further complicated when the victim is a child. In order to ensure accurate judgments, the factors to be taken into consideration in the evaluation of evidence should,
The museum world is in a time of great change, many of the changes focus on the accessibility of museums. In Sweden these changes are becoming more apparent as the new museum law that has been passed advocates for equal museum experience for all visitors whether they have any for of impairment or not. To encourage this change a few older law and regulations that Swedish museums are also subject to
Klimatförändringen förväntas orsaka 20-25% kraftigare regnoväder i Sverige vilket, tillsammans med urbaniseringen, ökar sannolikheten för översvämningar i urbana områden. En översvämningen kan innebära stora materiella skador och kostnader för samhället. För att förebygga dessa behövs mer kunskap om vilka områden i staden som är mest utsatta. Information om var och när stora vattenmängder väntas kClimate change is expected to cause 20-25% heavier rainfall in Sweden which, in combination with the ongoing urbanization, increases the probability of flooding in urban areas. These floods may cause large infrastructural damage and economical costs. Therefore, adequate models for overland flow are needed to identify high-risk areas where mitigating actions should be performed. In this thesis a ne
The symbolic elite discourse on the safety and viability of using the insecticide DDT for combating malaria in Africa is marked by extreme dissonance. While some positions within the debate on using DDT for malaria prevention are quite nuanced, others are more extreme if not one-dimensional. The ones who tend to hold more nuanced or centrist positions on using DDT for controlling malaria are often
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to study the contradiction between planing both a dense and green city. This contradiction can be explained as a conflict of space, where green areas are deprioritized and replaced with buildings and streets. Further on this thesis aims to examine how pocket parks can be used to alleviate this contradiction and achieve sustainable development in planing for a den
A search for heavy Majorana neutrinos in scattering of same-sign W boson pairs in proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV at the LHC is reported. The dataset used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1, collected with the ATLAS detector during 2015–2018. The search is performed in final states including a same-sign ee or eμ pair and at least two jets with large invariant mass and a large
This chapter examines how people associate various sex work activities with the exchange of sexual services for payment. It considers both in-person activities, such as sexual intercourse, oral sex, erotic massage, and dancing, as well as remote, digitally mediated activities like webcamming and the production of pornographic videos and photos. Drawing on an original US survey of adults (n = 1,024
Three searches for the direct production of τ-sleptons or charginos and neutralinos in final states with at least two hadronically decaying τ-leptons are presented. For chargino and neutralino production, decays via intermediate τ-sleptons or W and h bosons are considered. The analysis uses a dataset of pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1, recorded with the ATLAS de
A comprehensive study of the molecular active landscape of human cells can be undertaken to integrate two different but complementary perspectives: transcriptomics, and proteomics. After the genome era, proteomics has emerged as a powerful tool to simultaneously identify and characterize the compendium of thousands of different proteins active in a cell. Thus, the Chromosome-centric Human Proteome
Introduction The Problematic Experience of Therapy Scale (PETS) identifies barriers to home-based exercise programs but has not been validated in hand therapy populations. This study aimed to translate the extended PETS into Swedish and evaluate its content and construct validity in patients undergoing early sensory relearning following peripheral nerve injury.Methods The PETS was translated into
A search for pair production of vector-like leptons coupling to first- and second-generation Standard Model leptons is presented. The search is based on a dataset of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. Events are categorised depending on the flavour and multiplicity
