Jämlik hälsa – ett regionalt mål

This thesis aims to study the representation of gender aspects in health policies from an international level down to regional Swedish level to see if the gendered perspective is present. It also aims to see how the Swedish region Gävleborg with their policy work can create possibilities for gender equality in health development. A feminist post structural theory and a policy analysis together wit

Barn och samtycke - Om bedömningen av frivillighet vid gränsdragningen mellan brotten våldtäkt mot barn och sexuellt utnyttjande av barn

Denna uppsats har särskilt inriktat sig på bedömningen av samtycke (eller frivillighet) och dess betydelse vid gränsdragningen mellan brottet våldtäkt mot barn och det mindre allvarliga brottet sexuellt utnyttjande av barn. I förarbetena uttalas att om gärningen är fullständigt frivillig och ömsesidig och barnet med hänsyn till sin utveckling och övriga omständigheter haft förmåga att bedöma och tThis paper has specifically focused on the assessment of consent (or voluntariness) and its importance in regards to the demarcation between the offence rape of a child and the less serious offence sexual exploitation of a child. In the preparatory work it is expressed that if the offence was completely voluntary and reciprosal and the child considering it’s development and other circumstances, ha

The impact of business sufficiency strategies on consumer practices : The case of bicycle subscription

To stay within planetary boundaries, we need to move into sustainable levels of resource consumption, or sufficiency. Businesses can play a key role in driving sufficiency as they satisfy and also create demand. This article investigates how a bicycle subscription company can promote sufficiency among its users, with a focus on modal shift and product care. It aims to fill the research gap on how

Personlig utveckling i relation till chefen samt mjuka och hårda värden - En kvalitativ studie om medarbetares upplevelser på en privat bank

En kvalitativ studie som består av sex intervjuer med medarbetare från en privat bank. Syftet med studien var att beskriva och analysera hur medarbetare upplever att deras chef påverkar deras personliga utveckling genom mjuka värden, hårda värden och olika sorters ledarskap. Ett snöbollsurval och 30-60 minuter långa intervjuer användes som grund för resultatet. Empirin analyserades sedan utifrån v

Hållbarhetsarbete – hjälpande eller stjälpande?

Uppsatsen kommer fram till att det råder ett statistiskt signifikant samband mellan E-betyget och G-betyget med det marknadsbaserade prestationsmåttet Tobin's Q. Däremot råder inget statistiskt signifikant samband mellan någon ESG-variabel och det redovisningsbaserade prestationsmåttet ROA. Studien indikerar på att det kan vara lönsamt för företag att ägna sig åt miljöarbete utifrån prestation

Pickering emulsions stabilized by naturally derived or biodegradable particles

Emulsions are used widely in formulated consumer products, paints and coatings, foods, and pharmaceutical preparations to name just a few examples. Frequently surfactants are employed as emulsifiers, but the use of particles, including nanoparticles, can offer advantages. Naturally derived, or synthetic, particles that are biodegradable can reduce end-of-life environmental impact, while offering a

An acid-compatible co-polymer for the solubilization of membranes and proteins into lipid bilayer-containing nanoparticles

The fundamental importance of membrane proteins in drug discovery has meant that membrane mimetic systems for studying membrane proteins are of increasing interest. One such system has been the amphipathic, negatively charged poly(styrene-co-maleic acid) (SMA) polymer to form "SMA Lipid Particles" (SMALPs) which have been widely adopted to solubilize membrane proteins directly from the cell membra

Influence of Poly(styrene-co-maleic acid) Copolymer Structure on the Properties and Self-Assembly of SMALP Nanodiscs

Polymer stabilized nanodiscs are self-assembled structures composed of a polymer belt that wraps around a segment of lipid bilayer, and as such are capable of encapsulating membrane proteins directly from the cell membrane. To date, most studies on these nanodiscs have used poly(styrene-co-maleic acid) (SMA) with the term SMA-lipid particles (SMALPs) coined to describe them. In this study, we have

Unravelling cationic cellulose nanofibril hydrogel structure : NMR spectroscopy and small angle neutron scattering analyses

Stiff, elastic, viscous shear thinning aqueous gels are formed upon dispersion of low weight percent concentrations of cationically modified cellulose nanofibrils (CCNF) in water. CCNF hydrogels produced from cellulose modified with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride, with degree of substitution (DS) in the range 10.6(3)-23.0(9)%, were characterised using NMR spectroscopy, rheology and small angle

Microwave-assisted deep eutectic-solvothermal preparation of iron oxide nanoparticles for photoelectrochemical solar water splitting

Here, we present a new microwave-solvothermal method for the preparation of iron oxide nanostructures using deep eutectic solvents as a more sustainable reaction medium. By varying the synthesis temperature and solvent water fraction, the methodology offers control over iron oxide phase, size, and morphology, using efficient, rapid (10 minute) microwave heating. Synthesis with pure DES gives small

The Borrowings Kṣuta-/kṣut- (“Inimical”) and Vidumāla- (“Retrograde”) in Sanskrit Astrological Texts, and the Representation of Semitic ʿayn in Similar Loans

This short article deals with the etymologies of two Perso-Arabic loans that function as technical terms in Tājika (Indian astrology imported from the Perso-Arabic cultural area), both appearing in the works of the 13th century CE astrological author Samarasiṃha. The terms are kṣuta-/kṣut- (“Inimical”) and vidumāla- (“Retrograde”) - the meanings of both have been clear for some time, but the artic

Compressed spike-triggered averaging in iterative decomposition of surface EMG

Background and Objective: Analysis of motor unit activity is important for assessing and treating diseases or injuries affecting natural movement. State-of-the-art decomposition translates high-density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) into motor unit activity. However, current decomposition methods offer far from complete separation of all motor units. Methods: This paper proposes a peel-off appr

Using water vapour and N2 isotherms to unveil effects of SCMs on nanopores and evaluate hydration degree

Nanopores are critical for the durability of cement-based materials, but the refinement of these pores by SCMs is yet to have a clear understanding. This paper studied effects of the water–binder ratio, SCMs and the drying on the distribution of nanopores using water vapour and N2 sorption isotherms. Results show that data of water vapour sorption can be used for a practical evaluation of the hydr

Ecotoxicity of isosorbide acrylate and methacrylate monomers and corresponding polymers

Isosorbide is a well-investigated and accessible biomass-derived compound that has found wide use in medicine, cosmetics, and material sciences. The efforts to employ this rigid bicyclic diol as a sustainable building block in high-performance biobased plastics for, e.g., the engineering, coating, and packaging sectors have grown sharply in recent years. Due to the biomass origin, there is an impl
