Chinese land reform:property rights and land use
Is China’s “property rights” legislation, which distinguishes transferable “property rights” and inalienable “land ownership”, a new concept that is unknown before, or a pragmatic reversion to the individual property rights system abolished by the communist revolution? This study claims that the latter is a better exposition. As part of a “socialist market economy”, such a reversion is manifested
The economic costs of musculoskeletal disorders - A cost-of-illness study in Sweden for 2012
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect muscles, joints, tendons and other supporting tissue. They are associated with pain and reduction in the normal range of activity. MSDs are amongst the most common causes of ill health and sickness absence, giving rise to substantial costs for the society. The key aim of this study is to calculate the economic costs of musculoskeletal disorders in Sweden rel
Utvärdering av luftburna partiklar i en träslöjdsal - Fältstudie på Tunaskolan i Lund
Inomhusmiljön är en viktig del av vårt liv, med tanke på att vi spenderar ungefär 90 % av vår tid inomhus dagligen. Olika typer av föroreningar förekommer i inomhusmiljön, som kan bidra till hälsoeffekter och upplevd luftkvalité. På sistone har det diskuterats kring hur bra inomhusmiljön är i svenska skolor, som är en förutsättning för hälsa och inlärningskapacitet. Lärarna i träslöjd på Tunasko
We are what we eat : investigating enabling factors for dietary change and sustainable diets in Skåne
The health and environmental impacts of food consumption are increasingly recognized as sustainability issues in developed countries. Therefore, promotion of sustainable diets is becoming more popular among governments and International NGOs. However, the question persists of how best to do this. While the determinants of behavioural change have been studied extensively, the motivations behind beh

The Role of cheerleading in Megan Abbott's Dare me
This essay will, essentially, analyse gender roles and the possible liberation from them in the novel Dare Me by Megan Abbott. In the novel, this possible emancipation has its starting point in cheerleading. The sport has since its birth been a symbol for certain gender roles. In the beginning it stood for masculine sportsmanship (strength) and later, for feminine showmanship (beauty). When cheerl
Relativsatser i svenska som andraspråk: en studie av andraspråksinlärares behärskning av relativsatser mot bakgrund av tre centrala hypoteser
I den här studien undersöks behärskningen av relativsatser hos vuxna inlärare av svenska som andraspråk. Huvudsyftet är att se hur väl inlärarnas behärskning av olika typer av relativsatser stämmer överens med tre centrala hypoteser, Keenan & Comries Noun Phrase Accessibility Hierarchy, Kunos Perceptual Difficulty Hypothesis och Hamiltons SO Hierarchy Hypothesis. 17 informanter med engelska re
Learner Control, Willingness to Pay and Reservation Wages
This paper investigates whether increasing the amount of control a learner has in his/ her learning increases his/her willingness to pay for that learning, or his/her reservation wage for a topic related task. Using a small scale online experiment, separating participants into two groups, each corresponding to a different treatment; one with control and one without, this paper found no significant
Genusskapande i tv-spelsvärlden
Genom att studera ett tv-spel med hjälp av en kvalitativ metod vill jag vissa på hur genus skapas inom spelets dramaturgi. Genom att beskriva min emperi och testa denna mot genusteorier vill jag vissa på en skev framställning av könen där mannen är centrerad och kvinnan lämnad till pereferin.
Dynamic changing of miR-7 expression pattern affected by culture age of Chinese hamster ovary cells
MiRNA molecules have the ability to regulate hundreds of gene expressions and play a central role in a wide range of biological processes. MiR-7 may be a potential tool and promising target to improve and optimize the growth characteristic and antibody productivity in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells which represent the most commonly used mammalian cell line for therapeutic recombinant protein pr
Uppföljning av energi- och klimatrådgivning hos företag och organisationer - Grund för kommande energitillsynsprojekt i Hässleholms, Osby och Östra Göinge kommun
Ett hållbart samhälle är en fras som blir allt mer aktuell i dagens samhälle. I arbetet mot en hållbar utveckling innefattar det att människan bör lära sig att hantera begränsade resurser, så som olja eller fosfor, på ett sådant sätt att framtida generationer inte blir lidande av dagens användning. En av många viktiga åtgärder mot ett hållbart samhälle är minska användandet av energi. Denna studieThe oil crisis in the 1970’s made countries realize their dependence on oil; and with it a dependence of other countries. To be self-sufficient and to be able to decrease the impact of economic crises, such as the oil crisis, some countries have started searching for renewable alternatives for fossil fuels. In the same process the importance of saving energy has become another vital action towards
Increasing high recycling rates
In Sweden, household waste is separated at the source, making the success of the recycling system largely depending on the active participation of households. In a well-established recycling system with functioning recycling infrastructure and information, the conditions for ‘recyclers’ and ‘non-recyclers’ are akin, indicating the external conditions, recycling infrastructure and information, not
Leukocyte infiltration and trafficking during in-flammatory states in the newborn mouse brain
Objective: Inflammation is associated with higher incidence of perinatal brain injury. To better understand the mechanisms behind these injuries, we have studied the immune cell trafficking into the central nervous system (CNS) through the choroid plexus (CP) in the newborn. Meth-ods: Inflammation was induced in newborn mice using two different toll-like receptor ago-nists: PAM3CSK4 (PAM) and lipo
Pay as You Save or Save As You Pay? An evaluation of on-bill financing models for energy efficiency improvements
This thesis aims to shed light on the impact of the so-called Pay as You Save® (PAYS ®) or on-bill programmes for energy efficiency improvements in the building sector. These programmes are based on an innovative financing model that was developed to overcome several barriers to the up-take of energy efficiency measures by households and businesses. From the consumer’s side, these barriers include
Reality Check for the Value-at-Risk Estimates of the Energy Commodities
The fluctuations of the price in the energy market affect the households, firms and the government intuitions. We can perceive the information of the energy market from daily economic news. The entire society is concerned for the events that affect the energy market and the changing prices of the energy resources. It is thus meaningful and interesting to study the risk of the energy market. This p
EU:s bistånd - Utveckling, former och fördelning
Millenniemålen och Parisdeklarationen har kommit att dominera den internationella biståndspolitiken under 2000-talet. EU, världens största biståndsgivare, har åtagit sig att gå längre än deklarationerna i kampen för ökad biståndseffektivitet och minskad fattigdom. Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att undersöka EU:s mål och medel för större och bättre bistånd. Med andra ord studeras unionens bistå
Preventing Pro-cyclicality in the Bank Capital Regulation
In this thesis three different methodologies to convert Point-in-Time (PIT) probability of default (PD) to Through-the-Cycle (TTC) PD are applied on a sample of large Danish firms for the period 2005-2014. These kind of methodologies are important for preventing pro-cyclicality in the capital requirement, i.e. how much capital banks need to hold in order to cope with unexpected losses. The methods
“It’s your job to smell rats, Kasper”
Denmark is the least corrupt country in the world, meaning that the country’s political system is characterized by openness and transparency. Danish politicians distance themselves from backroom deals and secret negotiations. The mediatization of politics has put pressure on the appearance of politicians and the need for employing spin doctors who can cope with the media is increasing in Western d
