Within Peace Research, there is a long tradition of studying the creations and conditions of peace. Within this, Hybrid Peace Theory has constituted a more critical strand, emphasising the importance of the interactions between international and local actors. This thesis has aimed to contribute to critical peace research by arguing for the importance of including a gender perspective on the Hybrid
Denna uppsats utforskar Protokoll till Konvention nr 29 (P029) och rekommendation nr 203 om tvångsarbete (R203). Syftet med denna uppsats är att svara på följande frågor, vad skiljer Protokollet och Rekommendationen från ILO Konventionerna om tvångsarbete i skrift och omfång samt vilken inverkan kommer Protokollet och Rekommendationen att ha internationellt, nationellt i Sverige och nationellt i TThis master thesis examines the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (P029) and the Recommendation on supplementary measures for the effective suppression of forced labour (R203). The objective of this thesis is to answer the following questions: what differentiates the Protocol and the Recommendation from the Conventions 29 and 105 in text and scope? And; what impact will the Pr
It is increasingly recognised that the urgent need for more climate-adapted, context-appropriate and sustainable agro-food systems requires fundamental and crosscutting transformations. Alternative Food Initiatives (AFIs) have been proposed as one actor advancing transformation from the bottom up. This thesis contributes to existing research on AFIs relating to if and how they propose viable alter
BackgroundFood habits, nutrient needs and intakes differ between males and females, although few nutritional studies on patients with coeliac disease (CD) have reported results stratified by gender. ObjectivesTo compare energy and nutrient intakes among 13-year olds diagnosed with CD in early childhood with those of a non-coeliac (NC) age- and gender-matched control group, and also with estimated
Transgenic Huntington's disease (HD) mice, expressing exon 1 of the HD gene with an expanded CAG repeat, are totally resistant to striatal lesion induced by excessive NMDA receptor activation. We now show that striatal lesions induced by the mitochondrial toxin malonate are reduced by 70-80% in transgenic HD mice compared with wild-type littermate controls. This occurred in 6- and 12-week-old HD m
Background: The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders characterized by accumulation of autofluorescent material in many tissues, especially in neurons. Mutations in the CLN8 gene, encoding an endoplasmic reticulum ( ER) transmembrane protein of unknown function, underlie NCL phenotypes in humans and mice. The human phenotype is characterized by
The purpose of this study is to investigate the consequences of Netflix’s latest policy change on consumers’ perceptions of the brand promise and on their willingness to continue using the service. Furthermore, we aim to explore the negative emotions that arose in response to the policy change.
Background: Mental health is a global public health issue. Mental health disorders can develop in anyone, but the prevalence is higher among refugees. Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), aims to improve mental health and is commonly applied among persons from conflict-afflicted settings such as, refugees. There are several studies demonstrating the effectiveness of MHPSS but there
This master’s thesis explores municipal and civil society refugee support practices in Berlin and Brandenburg, Germany during the current crisis of insecurity. Centering the question of how local-level support can oppose an excluding global precarization of refugees, the thesis works with an experiential puzzle to explore the subjective views of civil society and municipal actors in the realm of m

Gal-3 appears clinically useful for ruling out short-term mortality in patients with acute dyspnea and could have role as a negative prognostic marker in the emergency department.
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a bleeding disorder in which antibodies and/or T cells lead to enhanced peripheral platelet destruction and reduced bone marrow platelet production. Several reports have observed that ITP is associated with a peripheral deficiency of tolerance-inducing CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ T regulatory cells (Tregs). Using a murine model of ITP, we analyzed Tregs in the spleen and thymu
AIMS: This study aimed to investigate the association between the 'Shrunken pore syndrome' (SPS) and risk of death, 30 day rehospitalization, and health-related quality of life (QoL) in heart failure (HF) patients. SPS is characterized by a difference in renal filtration between cystatin C and creatinine, resulting in a low eGFRcystatin C /eGFRcreatinine ratio.METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 373 p
INTRODUCTION: Chemoprevention against colorectal cancer (CRC) is greatly needed. As the development of CRC involves multiple dysfunctional pathways, it is thus reasonable to combine some agents that address several pathways to achieve better chemoprotection. We aimed to explore whether the use of aspirin and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)-either as monotherapy or combined-can have
Regulation of syncytiotrophoblast intracellular pH is critical to optimum enzymatic and transport functions of the placenta. Previous studies of Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) activity in the placenta from pregnancies complicated by intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) have produced conflicting results. The possible role of altered placental pH regulation in the development of acidosis in some fetuses s
Purpose: A gold standard for evaluation of aesthetic outcome after breast-conserving therapy (BCT) is still lacking. The BCCT.core software has been developed to assess aesthetic result in a standardised way. We aimed to study how the result of BCCT.core after BCT is associated with quality of life, measured with the BREAST-Q™, a validated questionnaire. Methods: Women eligible for BCT were consec
Summary: Kidney function decreases with age; however, the long-term influence on bone density (BMD) in older women already at risk of osteoporosis is unknown. We followed kidney function and bone loss for 10 years. Declining kidney function was adversely associated with bone loss and mineral homeostasis in old women, though it attenuated with advanced aging. Introduction: Existing studies do not f
