Many changes have occurred in the area of immunity for high state officials during the last century. States and their High Representatives, such as Head of State, Head of Government and Foreign Ministers were at the beginning of the last century granted absolute immunities for all acts they conducted. Evolution has, however, produced new rules based more on their need to function properly and less

Idag råder konsensus kring att människans aktivitet bidrar till klimat förändringar. Stater har ingått konventioner, utformat lagstiftning och tagit olika steg för att minska CO2 utsläpp. Statistiskt sett är utsläpp från flyg högre än utsläpp från sjöfart. Sjöfart är dock ett av de större transportsätt för att frakta gods över klotet, därför är det viktigt att utforma en reglering för CO2 utsläpp

Abstract To analyze the HIV-1 CRF02_AG viral diversity and evolution during the course of disease, the V1-V3 region of the env gene of sequential blood plasma samples from eight patients from Guinea-Bissau was studied. The patients were divided into two different groups, fast and slow progressors (FP and SP), according to the time between seroconversion and development of AIDS. The RNA of the vi

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of the Bachelor of Science Programme in Social Work at Lund University on students’ levels of empathy. We used a self-measurement tool that was distributed to all students (173) from the first semester and all students (135) from the last semester of the Bachelor of Science Programme in Social Work at Lund University, in order to determine whether

This thesis merges the two interests of the author in culture and international development by asking the question of how culture, in various definitions, has been approached in the recent discussions on the role of culture in development. A thoroughgoing question is also what role anthropologists play in these debates, whether or not they have an actual influence on matters of “culture” in intern

In contemporary China, it is quite common for parents to offer financial as well as time transfers to their adult children. This research aims to dig out what factors can explain these tangible downward transfers. Three perspectives are generated based on previous research to provide potential explanations. The first two perspectives regard downward transfers as reflection of classical feedback mo

This study explores the possibilities of reconciliation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the perspective of the Palestinian citizens of Israel, also known as the Israeli-Arabs. The theoretical and empirical frameworks aim to provide further research to the field of reconciliation through peaceful containment of narratives between deeply divided groups in intractable conflict. Given the

Predicting future large claims, as well as the total cost, of a specific insurance is essential for insurance companies, for example when setting premium levels or purchasing reinsurance coverage. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate if extreme value theory can be applied to construction defect insurance claims. Data is provided by an insurance company offering construction insurance and

Huvudsyftet med denna uppsats är att försöka vidareutveckla nuvarande litteratur och bidra till en mer djupgående förståelse kring ‘spear phishing’ och vilka faktorer som organisationer bör uppmärksamma gällande spear phishing. För att hitta nödvändigt material och få en djupare förståelse angående omfattningen av denna undersökning har en empiri bestående av kvalitativa data utfärdas. Insamlingen

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging technology with the potential to revolutionize the field of mental health. As the prevalence of mental health issues continues to rise, there is a growing need for effective and accessible interventions. This master’s thesis is done in collaboration with Prevas South in Malmö at the UX department. The scope of the project was to investigate how AI can be

This thesis evaluates under which circumstances it is advantageous to implement the breakthrough rules of the takeover directive. Methodology from normative law and economics is used to construct a three-step test which allows the breakthrough rules to be tested against varying methods of separating control rights from cash-flow rights. Little evidence is found to support the implementation of the

This changed with the introduction of information and communication technologies. Because of this, the labor market was able to become more global, meaning that employers do not need to hire employees who are physically close to the

One of the main contributors in the immune system are T cells. The exact molecular mechanisms behind T cell activation are not yet fully understood but it starts through the contact between the T cell and an infected cell. In order to study such interaction, supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) are used to mimic cell membranes and to reduce its complexity but still retaining the fundamental property of

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that is defined as low bone mineral density (BMD) and results in an increased risk of bone fracture. It is a serious public health problem that causes excess mortality and major economical and social impact. Today there are more than 8.9 million fractures connected to low bone mineral density worldwide. Hip fractures are of particular concern since they are associate
