This paper empirically investigates the relationship between industrial ownership and environmental degradation in the People’s Republic of China, with specific focus on two environmental indicators: volume of SO2 emissions and volume of industrial wastewater deemed unsafe for discharge. Sulfur dioxide and untreated wastewater emissions are considered some of the most problematic environmental and

I svensk rätt är inte medverkan till självmord straffbart annat än i de fall då agerandet kan anses falla inom ordalydelsen för mordparagrafen i BrB. Men varför är inte medverkan till självmord kriminaliserat när samtyckesdödande alltid är det? I denna framställning undersöks gällande rätt avseende gränsdragningen mellan medverkan till självmord och samtyckesdödande. Dessutom undersöks StraffrättsBy Swedish criminal law it is illegal to take someone’s life regardless of consent. However, abetment of suicide is not criminalized apart from cases in which the action or omission can be implicated in the wording of the Penal Code. Why is not abetment of suicide as such criminalised when consensual homicide in all cases is unlawful? The established law regarding the distinction between abetment

Contracts in the EU operate in a complex legal environment. Depending on the situation, they are subject to a patchwork of national, European, and international rules. As a result, economic operators exercising the ‘four freedoms’ find themselves in a great ocean of private international law, containing smaller islands of EU law and national rules. This paper explores some of the fundamental issu

Tuvalu, a low-lying Small Island Developing State (SIDS), is projected to face severe challenges due to climate change. Most notably, permanent inundation or the permanent loss of habitable land due to sea-level rise. This thesis investigates how Tuvalu has framed climate change as an existential security threat in its international discourse from 2021 to 2023. Applying an adapted version of secur

This work explores the catalytic activity of decavanadate (V10)-based catalysts in the selective oxidation of ethylbenzene (EB), a model compound of lignin-derived molecules, under mild conditions. The goal is to assess the catalytic efficiency, product selectivity, and the influence of counter-ions on activity through systematic testing of parameters such as temperature and catalyst loading. Addi

This study examines the production of morphosyntax in Swedish-speaking children diagnosed with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). Data from a Sentence Repetition Task was used to investigate if there is an implicational order according to Processability Theory (PT) in grammatical structures produced by school-age children with DLD. PT is a cognitive theory of language development that assumes

The aim of this master’s thesis is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the concept of representation in relation to personal archives. By examining how archivists understand and relate to the concept of representation in their professional role as well as in their work with personal archives, the intention is to clarify the practical implications of the concept. Empirical data has been gath

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including preeclampsia, are major contributors to maternal morbidity. The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential of metabolomics to predict preeclampsia and gestational hypertension from urine and serum samples in early pregnancy, and elucidate the metabolic changes related to the diseases. Metabolic profiles were obtained by nuclear magnetic resonanc

We present the results of isotope-geochronological study of metasedimentary rocks of the Bolshecheremshanskaya Formation of the Volgo-Uralian segment of the East European Craton carried out to identify their protoliths. 16 samples of high-alumina gneisses from well cores were studied using the Sm-Nd isotope method and T-Nd(DM) model ages. Accessory zircons were selected from rocks with the most an

Bristande handhygien inom vården är ett globalt problem och det finns ett samband mellan låg följsamhet av rutiner för handhygien och förekomsten av vårdrelaterade infektioner. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sjuksköterskors syn på orsaker till bristande handhygien samt vilka möjligheter som finns för förbättringar. För att undersöka detta användes ett frågeformulär med öppna frågor som

All vårdpersonal bör ges grundläggande kunskaper om smärtsinnet, reaktioner på smärta samt behandling av olika typer av smärta. Sjuksköterskor ska dessutom ha god kännedom om tekniker för smärtskattning, om psykologiska faktorers betydelse och om traditionella smärtstillande läkemedels kliniska användning (SoS-rapport 1994:4). Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka förekomst, innehåll och mål f

Sri Lanka has been a leading example among developing nations in the fight against poverty. Human development has been a priority of the Sri Lankan government, and many social indicators are today more in line with those of a developed country. Still poverty is a severe and widespread problem in the country. The economic growth has been under the country’s potential, and the unequal development ha

The rapid development of China's outbound tourism in European countries is receiving more and more attention from the European tourism industry. The improvements of the national economy, the characteristics of Chinese culture and the strengthening of the economic and cultural bonds between China and European Union countries have all played roles in its growth. This master thesis summarizes Chi
