The European project has, since its birth in the 1950´s, transformed into a supranational organization with strong constitutional features. The current legal order of the Union has developed into a complex system that is hard to comprehend. Together with the enlargement eastwards, the need for a simplified European Treaty has been intensified. Today, the debate about a European constitution is a t
The aim of this study is to analyse the Swedish national curriculum from a Marxist perspective. I aim to examine how a Marxist reading can aid in our understanding of not only the document itself and the ideological views portrayed in it, but also the implications this has for English teachers in Sweden today. The schooling which takes place in classrooms, as well as outside of them, is political
The demand for organic products is high in France, and the amount of land under organic production is increasing. This is due to the Organic Certification label, that helps to bring up the price and attractiveness of organic goods, and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) that provides farmers funds and assistance. However, organic farmers in France still struggle to make ends meet which is detrim
The estimation of a country’s greenhouse gas emissions has appropriately calculated the total footprint of a nation. However, when such estimates are brought down to the level of each economic activity, they do not reflect the total consumption pattern of a sector by not taking intersectoral relationships into account. Therefore, this study has two major purposes: (1) to estimate the greenhouse ga
Background/Problematization: Iconic brands are the gold standard of branding and have established a central role in the consumers’ lives. Behind every iconic brand, we can find iconic products. Despite the importance of these products, iconic products are overlooked in academia. Few studies have explored the concept and there is no common definition or comprehensive framework. This is restrictive
Under de senaste 30 åren har migrationsförvar (Engelska: Detention centers) blivit metoden att föredra när det gäller hanteringen av migrationsströmmarna i flera länder inom Europeiska Unionen (EU). I samband med den ökade användningen har det även skett en förändring från att stater har ett slags monopol gällande hanteringen av migrationsfunktioner till att stater delegerar (Engelska: Outsource) In the last three decades, detention centers have become the preferred method to manage the migration flow in multiple states within the European Union (EU). In correlation to the increasing use of detention centers, there has been a shift from states having a type of monopoly on migration management functions, to an increase of states outsourcing their responsibility to private companies. When st
This report is the result of a Master Thesis project in Mechanical Engineering with Industrial Design at the Faculty of Engineering LTH at Lund University. The project was conducted in collaboration with ArjoHuntleigh AB, a company based in Malmö, Sweden. ArjoHuntleigh develops integrated healthcare solutions for people with low mobility and thereto related problems. The report describes the deve
The purpose of the study has been to gain an understanding of how socio-cultural structures and gender norms affect young women’s leadership possibilities. This has been explored through a qualitative case study focusing on how young women leaders, working with sexual and reproductive health rights issues, experience and pursue leadership in Zimbabwe. A theoretical framework based on contextual an
Realising social justice has been one of the central goals of the International Labour Organisation since its inception. Yet today the unique environment and dangers associated with working at sea make the world’s 1.2 million seafarers a particularly vulnerable group, both in terms of their physical safety and mental wellbeing, and concerning the realisation of social justice. Social justice is a
Study on value creation for acquiring companies in Sweden in the years 2002-2009. The study is carried out by using both event- and accounting study methodology and the value creation is studied in short, medium and long-term. We find significant positive average abnormal returns of 2.82% at the announcement, which is steady until 5 days post the announcement. We find no significant abnormal chang
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Genen MYCN kodar för N-Myc, ett protein som fungerar som transkriptionsfaktor, det vill säga det kontrollerar vilka gener som transkriberas aktivt från DNA till RNA. Många neuroendokrina tumörer, speciellt neuroblastoma, uppvisar ofta onormalt höga nivåer av N-Myc, och eftersom N-Myc startar transkriptionen av många gener som är viktiga för cellens delning, tillvThe gene MYCN encodes a transcription factor with a fundamental role in many neuroendocrine tumors, especially neuroblastoma. The gene and protein are very similar to the closely related c-Myc protein, except for the 3´untranslated region (3´UTR), suggesting that it may be an important factor in determining their very different expression pattern at the post-transcriptional level. MicroRNA (miRNA)
I Sverige drabbas omkring 300 barn av cancer varje år och majoriteten av dem är bara fyra-fem år gamla när de får sin diagnos. Omkring två tredjedelar av barncancerdiagnoserna utgörs av leukemier, lymfom och hjärntumörer, medan den sista tredjedelen är olika solida tumörformer som njurtumörer och nervvävnadstumörer i buken. Cancersjukvårdens utveckling under de senaste årtiondena har medfört en avPurpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of including PET (Positron Emission Tomography) in the process of pediatric radiation therapy planning. The aim was to study the effect on target volumes and how this in turn affects the resulting treatment plans. This study also aims to compare the estimated risks of various long-term complications and how the use of PET influences the
