Background: A high consumption of fruit and vegetables is possibly associated with a decreased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the findings to date are inconsistent. Objective: We examined the relation between self-reported usual consumption of fruit and vegetables and the incidence of CRC. Design: In the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), 452,755 subjec
A pair of molecular tweezers (syn-4) that consists of quinoline and pyrazine units fused to a bicyclic framework is presented. The tweezers were synthesised both as a racemic mixture (rac-4) and an enantiomerically pure form ((R,R,R,R)-4) starting from either racemic or enantiomerically pure bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-2,6-dione (3). Homochiral dimers were observed in the solid state for rac-4. The self-
Introduction: Reliable, valid, and easy-to-administer instruments to identify possible “caseness” and to provide proxies for clinical diagnoses are needed in epidemiological research on child and adolescent mental health. The Autism–Tics, ADHD and other Comorbidities (A-TAC) inventory was developed to be used as a comprehensive interview to evaluate neurodevelopmental problems (NDPs), e.g. autism
I detta examensarbete undersöks rätten att bli glömd(RTBF), som finns i artikel 17 GDPR, och dess tillämpning inom ramen för artificiell intelligens (AI). Uppsatsen följer centrala juridiska och tekniska frågor om hur AI modeller som har tränats på personuppgifter behöver modifieras, helt omskolas eller kompletteras med säkerhetsåtgärder för att leva upp till raderings kravet i artikel 17(GDPR). F
This thesis explores the economic, social, and institutional impacts of privatization policies in Latin America, focusing on both short- and long-term effects across different periods. Using a mixed-methods approach that integrates quantitative analysis with qualitative insights, the study assesses key indicators such as GDP growth, inflation, inequality, foreign direct investment (FDI), and polit
This thesis investigates affective and semantic meaning-making in online audiovisual propaganda published by the Danish nationalist youth organization, Generation Identitær. Specifically, the study uses the notion of affective investments and relations in order to account for the ways in which the organization’s propaganda operates. It follows a feminist and postcolonial tradition and centers the
The self-screening error in the GW approximation is studied by applying correction schemes beyond the random-phase approximation in model and ab inito calculations. Two model systems in the form of Hubbard dimers, with one and two orbitals per site respectively, are considered. Both the self-screening (GW-ss) and self-polarization (GW-sp) correction schemes are compared to ordinary GW calculations
A sample of 107 asset sales completed globally from October 2006 to January 2019 has been investigated to find the average discount at which the assets of distressed energy companies are liquidated. In the next step, the difference in difference approach has been used to explore the oil price crash in the fourth quarter of 2014 so as to find the difference in the average discount on the assets of
Like many other West African countries, The Gambia faces challenges regarding discrimination based on descent, which relates to the inherited disadvantage of being born into a specific group (RADDHO & IDSN, 2012). This sociological case study has the analytical purpose of discussing the case of social stratification and descent-based discrimination in the Fulani village of Nokuta in The Gambia
This study investigates the effect of China’s exchange rate volatility on imports among China and ASEAN6 countries during 2001 and 2013, using three different measures of exchange rate volatility: volatility of exchange rate against U.S. Dollar, relative exchange rate volatility, and volatility of bilateral exchange rate. The test is performed by using fixed effects method and gravity model. The r
In the years prior to what became known as the Arab Spring, regional public opinion strongly favored Hezbollah due to its principled commitment to the liberation of Palestine. As popular upheavals swept through the Arab Middle East in 2011, this sentiment continued as the movement gave its support to the initial uprisings. However, as the protests reached Syria the image of Hezbollah as a champion
The conflict in Ukraine is not only a conflict in a strictly traditional or material sense, in terms of a quest for territory or over military power. Rather, it is a conflict where the battlefield is located in the United Nations Security Council, and the battle is a verbal war between ambassadors and diplomats about conflicting narratives and how the conflict should be defined. In this thesis, a
Syftet med uppsatsen är att kritiskt granska hur svensk media har rapporterat om den rasistiska skolattack som skedde den 22:a oktober år 2015 där tre personer gick bort och en person blev allvarligt skadad på Kronans skola i Trollhättan. Vi har valt att analysera artiklar från SVT, en Public service kanal, och Expressen, en kommersiell kanal, för att få en större förståelse för de likheter och sk
Following a military coup in 2006 the Pacific island-nation of Fiji has become an increasingly autocratic state. The international community has responded by imposing sanctions against Fiji. These sanctions are mainly targeted sanctions consisting of visa bans and restriction on financial flows, as well as diplomatic sanction, which aim to force the Fijian regime to hold elections and return the c
In recent years the concept of social capital has become particularly popular in epidemiologic literature for its hypothesized effects on health inequalities observable at national levels. This project evolves around the theory of social capital, particularly the interaction of its bonding, bridging and vertical forms and dimensions for health outcomes. It also incorporates a competing viewpoint a
Historically, the recognition of social rights began with the International Labour Organization’s 1944 Declaration of Philadelphia and its principle of social justice. Since then, a number of international human rights instruments have enshrined the rights to social protection and non-discrimination. The Canadian and United States governments have varied greatly in their respective approaches to s
