The aim of the study was to examine how counselors at the women's clinic relate to existential questions in the meeting with patients related to social work in a healthcare setting. The intention was to look closer at what challenges the staff faces, as well as what they find obstacles that stop or make it difficult to talk about existential issues. This was investigated through semi-structure
African states have recently claimed that international law is transforming into a new form of colonialism and a hegemonic power masquerading as the international rule of law. The International Criminal Court's bias against the Third World African states in correlation to the human right to a fair trial is investigated. The thesis overarching question addresses the Court's selective justic
During evolution the human brain has increased drastically in size compared to that of other primates. However, little is known about primate brain development as it is difficult to study human and primate brains in the laboratory due to the scarcity of tissues. Yet, it is essential to study primate brains and understand the molecular features leading to the human brain’s unique cognitive function
Background: Cancer, which is known for its high mortality rate, can affect several tissue types. Among these, breast cancer is the most prevalent form worldwide and gliomas has one of the highest mortality rates among all cancer types. CSMD1 is a complement inhibitor with known tumor suppressor properties, whose down-regulation and deletion has been identified in several cancer types. In this stud
Bacteria have harnessed a variety of self-acting toxic mechanisms to regulate plasmid maintenance, phage defense, expression of virulence factors, and antimicrobial resistance. It was thought that the expression of toxic proteins was the sole source of toxicity in bacteria. Recent studies have shown the potential for RNA to cause toxic growth phenotypes independent of toxic protein expression. How
Krishantering och förebyggande arbete inför naturkatastrofer, som i detta examensarbete avgränsas till tsunamis, har identifierats som bristande genom tiderna. Här studeras tsunamikatastroferna i Indiska Oceanen 2004 och Japan 2011 för att identifiera brister hos varningssystemen som används för att skydda samhällena som befinner sig i dessa riskzoner och dess befolkning. Först visade det sig att
Den samtida och framtida brassbandskompositionen" är ett examensarbete som syftar till att, utifrån ett tonsättarperspektiv, undersöka musik som är komponerad för brassbandstävlingar och identifiera de komponenter som behövs i både komposition och instrumentation för att skapa såväl en konstnärlig produkt som tävlingsförutsättningar. För att genomföra detta har författaren Daniel Möllås - tiThe contemporary and future brass band composition" is a thesis which, from a composers point of view, aims to investigate music composed for brass band competitions and to identify the components needed in both composition and instrumentation, in order to create an artistic product as well as conditions for competing. To accomplish this, the author Daniel Möllås - also a composition student
The CFSP has become a focal point of legal and political analysis, particularly concerning its impact on fundamental rights and the free movement of capital. Departing from that situation, the thesis attempts to delve into the complex question as its research question to find out how the EU balance its collective interests in pursuing sanctions with national sovereignty, the fundamental rights of
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains a global health threat, claiming 1.6 million lives in 2021 alone and infecting an estimated quarter of the world’s population in a latent or controlled infection. Glycolipids make up a large part of the bacterial cell wall and closely interact with innate immune cells, influencing their response upon infection. Th
Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC), is a congenital leukodystrophy with childhood onset. It is an extremely rare genetic disorder of the brain that affects less than 1 per 1,000,000 live births. Patients typically present macrocephaly during early childhood and later develop symptoms like decreased motor and cognitive functions, and epileptic seizures, all of which us
In this master’s thesis, different options to update the variant rank model used at the University hospital in Lund are presented. The variant rank model filters genetic variants from whole genome sequencing. This is done to identify potential causative variants in patients. Since the knowledge concerning these variants and rare genetic diseases grows rapidly, the model which filters said variants
