Lesbian, gay, and bisexual people continue to face discrimination and persecution in their daily lives, often from both the state and their communities. Where states do not provide for the basic human rights and physical security of their lesbian, gay, and bisexual citizens, many such citizens would flee their countries of origin in search of refuge in more hospitable countries. If other countries

Den rådande och även allmänt kända teorin för Universums uppkomst kallas Big Bang-teorin. Big Bang tros ha inträffat för cirka 13,8 miljarder år sedan och beskriver en tid när vårt Universum befann sig i ett mycket varmt och energitätt tillstånd, som snabbt kyldes ner för att bilda de första lätta atomkärnorna bara några minuter in i sitt unga liv. Även om det tog ytterligare 100 miljoner år förPrevious studies of two-particle correlation in proton-lead (pPb) collisions at \sqrt{s} = 5.02 TeV revealed a so-called double ridge structure similar to the one observed in lead-lead (PbPb) collisions. This structure features two distinct ridges extending over the entire \deta range (long-range correlations) at \Delta\phi \approx 0 (near-side) and \Delta\phi \approx \pi (away-side). A model base

This study aims to look at the link between in utero malnutrition and the survival probabilities of fetuses and newborns, using the 2002 food shortages in Malawi as an instrument for malnutrition. Concretely, it looks at differences in the probability of a born child being a male and in neonatal mortality between children in utero affected by food scarcity and those born right before and after the

In this project we developed a method to segment and visualize teeth roots from CT scan data. Our method is based on the level set method for the segmentation and the marching cubes method for the visualization. Most of the teeth segmentations had a good result when compared to a ground truth although there were some teeth and data sets that were problematic to segment. We give some reasons as to

Colombia, as many Latin-American countries have designed a series of welfare programs in order to relief poverty, due to the crisis experimented during the 90s. Hence, the present research estimate the impact on earnings of one of the welfare program implemented in Colombia “Empleo en Acción” and see the possible forgone income from participate in the program. Thereby, based on Diff-Diff method th

Despite global modern economic growth, most countries remained stuck in persistent poverty. Jeffrey Sachs suggested considering poverty itself as the explanation for persistent levels of poverty and low growth. The theory is based on the existence of poverty traps, which keep families and countries caught in poverty. This research contributes to the poverty trap literature by evaluating the effect

Background: The rapid increase in type 2 diabetes worldwide has mainly been attributed to lifestyle factors, including poor eating habits and physical inactivity. Type and quality of diet is a key factor in both prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. Aim: To investigate the association between diet quality and risk of type 2 diabetes.

In this thesis the impact of conditions in early life on survival in adult life is studied. This is done for longitudinal level data from Scania for 1815 to 1910 and conditions in early life are measured by infant mortality rate. In the thesis a model that allows for both direct effect on the survival form the infant mortality rate and indirect effects mediated through socioeconomic status and mar

The study has focused on identifying high risk areas for phosphorus leakage in the catchment of river Hörbyån. Also what kind of measures that can be taken to reduce the leakage at different sites in the catchment have been investigated. The highest phosphorus leakage in the south of Sweden come from agricultural areas, where the dominating transport is erosion and runoff. Some of the factors infl

Hainan province, as the only tropical region in China, suffered a housing bubble in the 1990s when the bubble burst. This was the first case of a bubble in the Chinese housing market. However, in the latest decade, Hainan housing market has become again heated up; the price of housing keeps increasing and new record housing prices have been reached. Is the housing bubble back again to this tropica

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis has been to examine whether accounts have been given by the four major Swedish banks - Swedbank, Handelsbanken, Nordea and SEB - in their accounting narratives as a response to negative media attention in the time period 2009 to 2014, and whether those accounts could be seen as an impression management tool. Methodology: We have carried out a qualitative study

Inom arbets- och organisationspsykologi har mycket forskning fokuserat stress i arbetslivet, men få studier har genomförts kring studenter. Studiens syfte var att undersöka om stress i form av kvantitativa krav är relaterat till ohälsa bland studenter. Ytterligare syfte var att studera om instrumentellt och emotionellt stöd som copingstrategier är kopplat till lägre grad av ohälsa samt om någon avMuch research which focuses on work related stress has been conducted in the field of organisational psychology, but few studies have examined students. The purpose of this study was to examine if stress as quantitative demands is related to poor health among students. Another purpose was to study if instrumental and emotional support as copingstrategies is related to lower levels of poor health a

Pursuing Universal Health Care in a developing economy like Ghana is a bold, laudable idea. Given the immutable benefits of Social Health Insurance in this pursuit, the long-term performance of Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHI) Schemes in developing countries remains a conundrum when viewed from the predominant economic and health system frameworks. In the context of a weak state with a larg

Several information sources, related to choice of caregiver and treatmen
