The long-lasting usage of fossil fuels has brought its negative impact on the planet and thus the society is turning towards more environmentally sustainable solutions in every aspect of life. This master’s thesis discusses the novel topic of integrating concentrated solar thermal collectors, which directly produce steam, to drying processes in the food industry, which is proven to currently emit

This study focuses on Muslim fertility in Europe. Evidence from 25 countries suggests that the Muslim total fertility rate is on average 47% higher than the national level. However, we find a significant difference in the level of fertility of native-born Muslims and immigrant Muslims. The native-born have a 19% higher total fertility rate, while immigrants have 62% higher fertility. Our main rese

Michael Halliday has written extensively on the nature and functionality of language, and one of his favoured approaches to language is that it is social. He describes language as “the creature and creator of human society”. One of the functions of language is to express and form social identity. This paper seeks to adopt Halliday’s systemic functional linguistic theory on the bread-of-life discou

A collection of ancient Byzantine hymns featuring women as pivotal characters, now in a new translation.At a time when Christianity was becoming the dominant religion in the Byzantine Roman Empire, Romanos the Melodist (ca. 485–565) was a composer of songs for festivals and rituals in late antique Constantinople. Most of his songs include dramatic dialogues or monologues woven with imagery from or

This chapter analyses an unexplored field of study: male sex workers. Indeed, while their female counterparts have been widely researched, there is a lack of attention on men who sell sex. For this reason, we aim to (re)shape the representations, theories, rhetoric, organisation, and types of male sex work as a complex, uncomfortable, and controversial phenomenon. First we engage with a social his

A de novo alpha-synuclein A53T (p.Ala53 Th; c.209G > A) mutation has been identified in a Swedish family with autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). Two affected individuals had early-onset (before 31 and 40 years), severe levodopa-responsive PD with prominent dysphasia, dysarthria, and cognitive decline. Longitudinal clinical follow-up, EEG, SPECT and CSF biomarker examinations suggested an

Allegations of human rights violations have haunted Frontex, the border agency of the EU, from its very existence in 2004. Although in 2011, the agency became subject to a comprehensive human rights “overhaul”, such infringements continue to take place. This thesis sets out to explore this puzzle by applying principal-agent theory. The argument is that Frontex’s establishment represents an outlier

In this study, we evaluate the performance of 395 private equity funds by European private equity firms between 1989 and 2018, using real cash flow data gathered from Preqin. The evaluation involves using absolute- and relative performance measures. We adopt the public market equivalent framework to measure relative performance, which compares the returns of a private equity fund with a reference
