This thesis explores the complex relationship between ethnic identity and social mobility within the Māori communities of Aotearoa New Zealand. Central to this research is the role attributed to education, which is seen as a key element in both supporting the preservation of cultural heritage and fostering socio-economic progress. The research examines the contemporary challenges that Māori encoun
This thesis project examines the dynamics of trespass protests, particularly focusing on the Right to Roam (RTR) movement in England. I ask in what ways trespass action for roaming rights challenges private property relations and embodies alternative relations to land and nature. Grounded in historical materialist and political-economic theories, private property is conceptualised as social and sp
Cancer är idag det näst vanligaste dödsorsaken i världen, där 30% av alla cancerfall bland kvinnor är bröstcancer. En vanlig behandling är bröstbevarande operation, där en bit av bröstet kirurgiskt tas bort. Operationer är både dyrt och har en betydande inverkan på kroppen och för vissa kvinnor krävs en omoperation efter den första operationen. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka möjliCancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and 30% of all cancer cases among women are breast cancer. A popular treatment is breast-conserving surgery, where only a part of the breast is surgically removed. Surgery is expensive and has a significant impact on the body, and on some women, a reoperation is needed. The aim of this thesis was to see if there is a possibility to predict whet
Title: Exploring Coordination Mechanisms and Product Characteristics for Food Waste Reduction Principles: A Case Study in Physical Distribution Author: Zacharias Samuelsson Thesis supervisor: Eva Berg, Faculty of Engineering at Lund University Thesis Purpose: Identify food waste causes in a global distribution network and develop an improvement proposal for minimizing food waste. Method: This
Electromechanical oscillations is a power system phenomenon where generator rotors oscillate, leading to oscillatory power flows. Damping of such oscillations is important for system stability. Forced oscillations is a special case where one faulty component is the source of the oscillation. This report concerns the Dissipating Energy Flow (DEF), which is an energy-based method for analysing dampi
The purpose of this thesis was to explore how a newly founded Youth Platform in Colombia, called La Mesa de Juventud, could affect the youth community in promoting and capacitating organizational skills, youth citizenship rights and youth influence in public policy making. The study emanates from the region of northern Cauca situated in the South Western part of Colombia which is an area where you
The aim with this master thesis was to investigate if a certain sow feed requires different calibrations in near-infrared analysis, due to if the sow feed have fish oil or AkoFeed as fat source. To investigate this, a basic sow feed mix was prepared and divided in 60 jars with 250 g in each. In 30 of the jars 0 to 15 g fish oil were added and in the other 30 jars 0 to 21 g AkoFeed were added. 2/
Simulating the natural environment of living tissue with in vitro cell culture models has paved the way for scientific discoveries, and provided valuable insight into areas such as drug discovery and regenerative medicine. A new emerging technique of culturing cells on biomimetic three-dimensional scaffolds stands as a promising alternative to the traditional way of culturing cells on two-dimensio
The primary purpose of this paper is to further build on research related to capability development in order to explore hindrances and benefits of internal capability development and external partnerships as ways to improve performance. The beverage industry is used as the focus context since the companies in this industry are increasingly responding to external trends and looking for ways to deve
With the 11th century text Kitāb ādāb al-nikāḥ, the “Book on the Proper Conduct of Marriage”, the Islamic thinker al-Ghazālī (1056 –1111/447–504) replies to a contemporaneous debate within Sufi asceticism with a theology of nikāḥ. The text is part of his opus magnum, the “Renaissance of the Knowledge of dīn”, which aims at a renewal of Muslim piety and provides practical guidance to the male audie
The global food system, population growth, increased wealth, shifting diets and an overall larger demand for processed food, meat and dairy, has led to increased pressure on land, water and energy. The environmental implications of this have taken part in the establishment of international institutions which aims to regulate agriculture production methods, and thereby reduce these adverse impacts.
This thesis aims to analyse the borderline between private importation and retail sales of alcohol on the EU internal market. This thesis shows that according to the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the definition of private import is a complex assessment that depends on several factors. Among other indicators, it depends on the shipping and logistics procedure. To be classi
Reaching the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement not only requires ambitious goals from national governments, but also the active participation of local municipalities. It is in cities where climate actions need to be implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reach the international and national climate goals. While the importance of cities and their participation in networks has been wel
Sustainability reporting is the primary way corporate sustainability data is disseminated to stakeholders and the wider public. While sustainability reporting is growing, certain industries still lag, such as shipping. Given the crucial role sustainability reporting can play in driving sustainable business practices, promoting improved reporting in the shipping industry is a valuable goal. This t
A loop of urbanization, increasing impervious surface in urban areas, increasing temperature, rainfall, surface runoff and flooding, and lack of new spaces have been adding challenges to urban drainage systems for decades. The climate change impacts are exposing the existing vulnerable conventional urban drainage systems to more challenges in the future. A new idea of sustainable drainage syst
Den svenska djurskyddslagstiftningen slår fast att djur har en rad olika in- tressen och behov som ska beredas skydd. Samtidigt har djur i alla tider be- traktats som objekt i rättslig mening och har till skillnad från rättssubjekt inte kunnat inneha intressen och rättigheter. Den här uppsatsen undersöker hur sagda ordning växt fram genom historien och vilka implikationer den har för hur djurskyddThe Swedish animal welfare legislation states that animals have interests and needs that must be protected. However, throughout history, animals have been regarded as objects in legal terms, lacking the capacity to hold in- terests and rights. This essay explores the historical development of said or- der and its implications for how animal welfare interests are represented in Swedish administrati
This paper examines the relevance of the world system as a structural condition to be considered in research on regimes and democratization. This is a pilot study in reformulating world systems analysis into the research topic of regimes, their creation and democratization. The methodology is statistical and covers most of the world for the time period 1980-1999. The study starts by formulating im
