The main aim of the present study was to provide a deeper insight into the collateral consequences of news coverage. More specifically, how the interaction of valence (positive vs. negative) and proximity (domestic vs. foreign) impacts the perceived safety and optimism of the public. One hundred and seventy-four Dutch participants were randomly assigned to one of five conditions (neutral news, pos
UNSCR 1325 and the Women, Peace and Security agenda has been in place since year 2000, yet women’s participation in conflict resolution processes remains low and they are still largely being excluded from deciding how their future society is going to look like. The European Union is known for being a normative actor in international politics, with gender equality being one of their core norms. As
The feminist and sociological debate of prostitution and pornography is an often polarized one. That seeps into the way media represent these practices and the ways these representations are studied. This thesis moves beyond that divisive debate by looking into labour relations and structures of exploitation through a case study of the first season of HBO’s The Deuce, which is a show about the 197
Fram till 1 januari 2015 hade länsstyrelsen möjlighet att besluta om ”113-förordnande” enligt 6 kap. 5 § PBL. 113-förordnandet innebar att kommunen kunde ta mark i anspråk utan ersättning om det ansågs skäligt med hänsyn till den nytta som exploatören förväntades få av planens genomförande och till omständigheterna i övrigt. Hur mark för allmän plats ska värderas och ersättas regleras i 4 kap. 3a
This report is a fire safety assessment of Bråhögshallen, a multi-sport facility located in Staffanstorp in the south of Sweden. The building consists of one larger and one smaller sports hall, a bowling alley and other smaller facilities used for a variety of different sports. Bråhögshallen was built in 1969, and the regulations regarding fire safety has since changed. The assessments in this rep
The purpose of the study is to further understand how the ‘Responsibility Discourse’ is constructed through the articulation of the Public and Private distinction in presently operated Public Private Development Partnerships (PPDP). By understanding the discourse in terms of accountability, role division and responsibility, the ambition is to map how the construction is made through the public and
In December 2014, Nicaragua officially launched one of the world’s largest engineering projects in history, as construction began on a 278 km transoceanic canal with an estimated cost of US$50 billion. To implement and finance the project, Nicaragua has made an agreement with the foreign investor HKND that has received widespread attention and critique. The purpose of this thesis is to examine thi
The aim of this thesis is to identify and study the division of competence between the EU and its Member States in relation to international environmental agreements (IEAs) and to attempt to ascertain how this division affects the responsibility for implementation and enforcement of IEAs in the EU, and to some extent, the liability towards third parties. In order to establish the role of competenc
During recent decades the incidence of testicular cancer (TC) has increased rapidly around the world. Associated exogenous etiological factors might therefore be identifiable. We performed a case-control study nested within Finnish, Swedish and Icelandic maternity cohorts exploiting early pregnancy serum samples to evaluate the role of congenital or neonatal infections with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV
The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of estradiol and tamoxifen alone and in combination on the estrogen binding site status of the urogenital tract in the rabbit. Bilaterally ovariectomized rabbits were divided into four groups of six. Wereas the control group received no treatment, the remaining rabbits were treated with estrogen orland tamoxifen. Cytosolic and nuclear fractions w
von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a bleeding disorder caused by inherited defects in the concentration, structure, or function of von Willebrand factor (VWF). VWD is classified into three primary categories. Type 1 includes partial quantitative deficiency, type 2 includes qualitative defects, and type 3 includes virtually complete deficiency of VWF. VWD type 2 is divided into four secondary categori
[1] Results from two deep sea cores from northeast of Newfoundland at 1251 and 2527 m water depth, respectively, indicate that during the time period from 160,000 to 10,000 years BP, ice rafting events in the Labrador Sea were accompanied by rapid variations in deep and surface water circulation. Twelve ice-rafting events occurred, each coinciding with high concentrations of detrital carbonate and
Recent studies suggest that vortex ring formation during left ventricular (LV) rapid filling is an optimized mechanism for blood transport, and that the volume of the vortex ring is an important measure. However, due to lack of quantitative methods, the volume of the vortex ring has not previously been studied. Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) is a new flow analysis method, which enables in vi
This investigation concerned the question of whether honeybees collect bacteria that are beneficial for humans from the flowers that contribute to formation of their honey. Bacteria originating from the types of flowers involved, and found in different anatomic parts of the bees, in larvae, and in honey of different types, were sampled during a 2-year period. 16S rRNA sequencing of isolates and cl
Small heat-shock protein chaperones are important players in the protein quality control system of the cell, because they can immediately respond to partially unfolded proteins, thereby protecting the cell from harmful aggregates. The small heat-shock proteins can form large polydisperse oligomers that are exceptionally dynamic, which is implicated in their function of protecting substrate protein
Art. 36 TFEU is an exception clause which provides that quantitative restrictions or measures having equivalent effect to quantitative restrictions falling under Art. 34 and 35 TFEU may be justified under certain circumstances. If a national measure can be considered liable to hindering the trade between Member States, the national measure can be justified by one of the derogations listed in Art.
Present uncertainties in key ventilation parameters, characterising the fire performance of facades, has necessitated clarification in the foundational understanding of the Fire Science Body of Knowledge. A test program conducted in collaboration between Lunds Universitet and the Kingspan Group, studied the influence of cavity widths and lateral ventilation conditions on the fire behaviour within
Thessaloniki is a city with a very rich and multicultural history. Among the different groups of people living in the city for centuries, the largest one was the group of the Sephardi Jews. Unfortunately, in modern Thessaloniki the rich Jewish past is not that evident. Aim of this thesis is to search for imprints and memories of the Jewish past in today's city and tries to unfold the reasons w
Bolivia has experienced a drastic decline in inequality and poverty since 2000. It coincided with the administrative period of Evo Morales between 2006 and 2019. Hence, it is debated whether poverty reduction was mainly driven by economic growth alongside the commodity boom in the 2000s or by policy implementations during Morales’s presidency. This study addresses the research question: “How and w
