UNSCR 1325 highlights the importance of studying the relation between identity and international policies, and could be considered an example of how constructions of international policies are made through political representations of different groups. Traditionally in security discourses, women have been portrayed as the most vulnerable group of people in times of armed conflicts. Some feminists
This research explores the extent of feminism and nationalism in peacetime Serbia and also the correlation between. Theories suggest these two systems of thought to be incompatible with each other, even exclusive. If someone is in fact a supporter of nationalist ideas, it is unlikely for this person to also have feminist sympathies. Insights obtained by reviewing and analyzing existing national da
Åtkomst till bevismaterial är avgörande för att förverkliga det straffrättsliga ansvaret. Idag är en stor del av detta bevismaterial digitalt och i syfte att skydda och hemlighålla sådan information används i allt större utsträckning kryptering. Kryptering, som enklast möjligt kan sägas utgöra den digitala versionen av att låsa in material i ett kassaskåp, innebär att man utan den särskilda dekrypBeing able to access evidence is crucial for the realisation of responsibility under criminal law. In today’s world, a large part of what can potentially be evidence is stored digitally. In order to protect and keep digital information confidential, encryption is becoming widespread. Encryption, put simply, can be said to be the digital version of locking material in a safe, and basically means th
Det är svårt att stifta en konkurrenslag som effektivt motverkar karteller samtidigt som den tar tillvara företagens rätt till en rättvis rättegång. Vårt samhälle är idag präglat av en marknadsekonomi som är i behov av en välfungerande konkurrens. Karteller är kostsamma för samhället och ytterst för samhällsmedborgarna. Det finns betydande incitament för företag att samarbeta konkurrensbegränsande
Corruption is considered a global problem. All over the world it affects people’s lives, for the majority in negative ways. Cleaning up a corrupt state has proved to be difficult; if it does not have a history of continuously being a democracy for a long time it faces an increased chance of being corrupt. Whether a state actively fights corruption through laws and reforms does not always matter.
Popular science summary: Is RpS6 activation important for leukemia cell progression? Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is the most common acute blood cancer in adults. It is characterized by a rapid increase of leukemic cells in the bone marrow, compromising the development of new blood cells. Despite improvement in treatments and advancements in supportive care, the overall 5-years survival of AML i
The purpose of this project was to create a risk model for extended time between major overhauls on steam turbines. The project was created by Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery who develops and manufactures steam turbines and performs maintenance. It is the turbine users who have requested a longer time in order to reduce maintenance costs and increase availability. Prior to the work, external and
In recent years, household debt levels among the industrialized countries have increased heavily. The Swedish central bank has had concerns about this increase and its macroeconomic effect. Partly this is due to the fact that private consumption might have been inflated by borrowed money. As some perceive household debt as a stimulant, others fear the consequences of over-indebtedness.

Abstrakt Författare: Edda Sigurbjörg Ingólfsdóttir Titel: Det löser sig Masteruppsats: Socm04/30 hp Handledare: Sara Eldén Sociologiska institutionen, vårterminen 2013 Island var det första landet i världen som delade föräldraledigheten i tre jämna delar och målet med denna individualisering var att ge barn lika tillgång till båda sina föräldrar och att främja jämställdheten både på arbetsmarknad
Abstract: Background. In clinical heart transplantation, the most common method used to preserve the donor heart is cold flush perfusion with a cardioplegic solution, e.g. St. Thomas Solution. This method gives safe preservation for up to 4 hours. Methods. In organ baths, vessels segments of porcine coronary arteries were used to study the smooth muscle contractility and endothelial dependent an
There is a recurring argument among scholars concerning entrepreneurship education: some argue that it lacks value, others disagree, pointing out that concrete outcomes can be achieved by a combination of academic learning while obtaining practical experiences at the same time. There have been studies of both aspects but without a clear conclusion. In this study, we conduct personal interviews wit
Popular science summary: NADase – a way to avoid immune system activation? Streptococcus pyogenes (S. pyogenes) are bacteria that cause many different kinds of diseases in humans, for example strep throat, scarlet fever and necrotizing fasciitis, the ”flesh-eating disease”. An infection with this type of bacteria can also lead to heart and kidney damage, thought to be caused by our immune system
Popular science summary: Mammals are born with relatively immature digestive and immune systems. The functional maturation of these systems takes place at weaning (dietary change from milk to solid food). The activation of immune system occurs due to new antigens from new diet and changed microflora. It has been shown in rat model that activation of adaptive immunity can influence functional deve
This project work covers the design and construction of a new probe system for hot gas analysis in an entrained flow gasifier. The aim is a probe that can be used more flexibly than the present system. As a further aim, the condensation of trace materials has to be prevented. First, a short overview over current techniques to analyse the product gas in a gasification process is given. Continuing,
Popular science summary: The European silver eel oceanic migration During the past 30 years the population of the European silver eel has been declining dramatically. This is a commercially important species and several action plans have been established but little information about the biology of the European eel is known. During the EELIAD project female silver eels were electronically tagged
Popular science summary: New approaches for treating lakes with ammonia pollution Extract of Yucca shidigera, a desert plant, has been used in aquaculture to control ammonia in the water. Microalgae has been proved effective in removing ammonia and phosphorous from wastewater of agriculture and aquaculture. Therefore, it is possible that they could remove ammonia from lakes. Hence, several fish t
Popular science summary Habitat selection and chick survival of Eurasian Golden Plovers pluvialis apricaria altifrons during a lemming peak year in southern Lapland (Sweden) Aided by radio-telemetry, this study investigates the factors involved in the survival of Eurasian Golden Plover chicks and variations in habitat selection, home ranges and diet at different times through the pre-fledging pe
Popular science summary Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) is a common B cell lymphoma of the Western world and the therapies used to treat it have considerable side effects. Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infection is associated with the pathogenesis of HL, though little is known about its contribution. B-lymphocyte undergoes two rounds of differentiation; first in the bone marrow where it becomes a Naïve B cell
Begreppet mentalisering avser förmågan att förstå sig själv och andra utifrån mentala tillstånd. Studiens syfte var att undersöka denna förmåga hos personer med erfarenhet av borderline personlighetsstörning eller ätstörning. Metoden var Affektmedvetenhetsintervjun själv-annan. Intervjuerna analyserades med tematisk analys och sex stycken teman identifierades. Resultaten visar att kroppsliga respeMentalization is a term that refers to the ability to understand one’s own and others minds as minds. The aim of this study was to examine this ability among people who either are or have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder or eating disorder. The semi-structured Affect Consciousness Interview- Self/Other was used to collect data. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis and s
