Future generations as subjects of rights? A content analysis of rights of future generations in Swedish climate law

The objective of this thesis is to examine Swedish climate law to discuss and examine the concept of “rights of future generations”. Global warming is inevitable causing the world to change rapidly, thus future generations will be faced with monumental environmental challenges. Recently, states around the world are being sued by the younger generations claiming their rights have been violated. As

Räcker de Mänskliga Rättigheterna för att hantera Klimatkrisen? En kritisk analys av Simon Caneys argument för ett Människorätts-perspektiv på klimatförändringarna

Klimatförändringarnas farliga effekter på människor är ett faktum. Det är emellertid viktigt att notera att klimatförändringarnas effekter inte endast påverkar oss människor. Normativa ramverk har etablerats för olika tillvägagångssätt på klimatförändringarna, där uppfattningen om människans roll i förståelsen av klimatförändringarna och den rådande krisen är splittrad. Syftet med denna kandidatAnthropogenic climate change's harmful effects on human beings, especially the most disadvantaged, are widely acknowledged. However, the impact extends beyond humans, resulting in species extinction and biodiversity loss. Consequently, climate change poses a significant threat to the survival of both humans and multispecies. This thesis critically examines Simon Caney's approach on anthro

Forskaren och ministern om matfattigdomen och kyrkornas roll

Revisiting Motivational Reasons

This paper considers a novel way of understanding motivational reasons, and to what extent it challenges a Humean theory of motivation.

Challenging patient communication in a medical education curriculum - Perspectives on learning with simulated patients

En viktig del av en läkares yrkesliv är att hantera svåra patientsamtal. Alla läkarekommer någon gång under yrkeslivet medverka i sådana samtal. Brister ipatientkommunikation har visat sig vara en bidragande orsak till att patienter fårsämre vård. Utbildning i patientkommunikation är därför en central del i enläkarutbildning. I följande licentiatavhandling undersöktes hur studenter och lärareser pBeing able to manage challenging patient communication and the associated emotional burden is a vital skill for physicians that is regularly utilized in clinical work. Therefore, it is reasonable that medical students get the opportunity to acquire and develop the relevant knowledge and skills related to challenging patient communication during their education. Simulated patient scenarios are usef

Towards an Ecotopia – Digital Utopia or Dystopia?

The paper embarks on an exploration of how technological advancements are poised to reshape the landscape of future consumption and marketing practices and extend our understanding of whether this trajectory is potentially leading toward a future digital utopia or a dystopia. Drawing upon the theoretical understanding from Marshall McLuhan, this research investigates the metaverse as a novel techn

Spara, laga, bo : Husdrömmar i mäklarreklam från 1960-, 70- och 80-talet

I denna artikel ställer jag frågor till arkivmaterial ur vardagstrycket: ett antal mäklarbroschyrer och reklamutskick analyseras med fokus på husdrömmar. Vilka husdrömmar gestaltas? Vem antas bo här, hur, var och varför? Vem är husdrömmaren, vilken värld, tid, människa och bostadskultur framträder i materialet? Jag jämför material från 1970- och 1980-tal med slutsatser jag dragit i min forskning o

Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct : a European retrospective multicenter observational study (EUR-IPNB study)

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare disease in Western countries. The main aim of this study was to characterize current surgical strategies and outcomes in the mainly European participating centers. METHODS: A multi-institutional retrospective series of patients with a diagnosis of IPNB undergoing surgery between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2020

Effects of mutant huntingtin in oxytocin neurons on non-motor features of Huntington's disease

Background: Early non-motor features including anxiety, depression and altered social cognition are present in Huntington's disease (HD). The underlying neurobiological mechanisms are not known. Oxytocin (OXT) is involved in the regulation of emotion, social cognition and metabolism, and our previous work showed that the OXT system is affected early in HD. The aim of the study was to investigate t

Article an internet of things approach for water efficiency : A case study of the beverage factory

There is a lack of knowledge among food manufacturers about adopting the Internet of Things (IoT)-based water monitoring system and its ability to support water minimisation activities. It is therefore necessary to investigate the applicability of IoT-based real-time water monitoring systems in a real food manufacturing environment to pursue water-saving opportunities accordingly. This article aim

Internal displacement in the context of disasters and climate change in Asia and the Pacific: Introduction to the volume

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book focuses on internal displacement in the context of disasters and climate change in Asia and the Pacific. It brings the role of disaster risk reduction and management authorities, as well as legal and policy frameworks that regulate their conduct, more into focus than the role of o

Markers of Atrial Myopathy in the General Population : Prevalence, Predictors, and Inter-Relations

BACKGROUND: Atrial myopathy refers to structural and functional cardiac abnormalities associated with atrial fibrillation and stroke, but appropriate diagnostic criteria are lacking.OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess prevalence, clinical correlates, and overlap between potential atrial myopathy markers.METHODS: The population-based SCAPIS (Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study) prospectively

Low-level HIV viraemia during antiretroviral therapy : Longitudinal patterns and predictors of viral suppression

OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to characterize longitudinal patterns of viraemia and factors associated with viral suppression in people with HIV and low-level viraemia (LLV) during antiretroviral therapy (ART).METHODS: We included people with HIV in the EuResist Integrated Database with LLV following ART initiation after 2005. LLV was defined as two or more consecutive viral load (VL) measurements

Comorbidities in people with hand OA and their associations with pain severity and sensitization : Data from the longitudinal Nor-Hand study

Objective: To determine whether the comorbidity burden and co-existing comorbidities are cross-sectionally and/or longitudinally associated with pain and pain sensitization in a cohort study of people with hand OA. Design: We examined whether comorbidity burden and individual comorbidities based on the self-administered Comorbidity Index (range: 0–42) at baseline were associated with pain outcomes

Neuropsychological outcome after cardiac arrest : results from a sub-study of the targeted hypothermia versus targeted normothermia after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (TTM2) trial

Background: Cognitive impairment is common following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but the nature of the impairment is poorly understood. Our objective was to describe cognitive impairment in OHCA survivors, with the hypothesis that OHCA survivors would perform significantly worse on neuropsychological tests of cognition than controls with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Another aim was

Characterization of defect microstructure in MgRE (RE=Ce, Nd) alloys after processing by high-pressure torsion using positron annihilation spectroscopy and a high resolution X-ray diffraction

Two MgRE (RE = Ce, Nd) alloys with ultrafine-grain (UFG) microstructures were prepared by high-pressure torsion (HPT) at room temperature. The in-depth distribution of defects was characterized by Doppler broadening –variable energy positron annihilation spectroscopy (DB-VEPAS). The characteristic S parameter increases in bulk after HPT processing relative to an as-received sample and shows a rela

Sensing seaweed settings : Making sense of a mixed-method design for sensory analysis

The focus of this paper is an interdisciplinary approach towards the consumption of novel seaweed foods. Combining social science, food science, and a chemical and biotechnological perspective, we ask the following questions: How do we gain knowledge about the consumer's approach to new marine products on the market? What kinds of methods are suitable and possible to use? In what way can we combin
