Taking on a discourse theoretical perspective on power, inspired by Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau, where language plays a central part, this thesis regards depoliticisation as a discursive phenomenon. As language according

Sedan 2008 har en industriell och global kris drabbat telekomindustrin. Företag har slagits ut alternativt drabbats av vikande lönsamhet. Enligt teorin om tillväxtcykeln har halvledarindustrin, vilken telekomindustrin är en viktig del av, tidigare agerat som drivkraft för stora delar av övrig industri. Den omfattande finansiella och strukturella kris vi nu upplever har med andra ord sitt ursprung

Bakgrund: Utbrändhet, klassificerad som utmattningssyndrom (ICD-10-kod F43.8A), är ett stressrelaterat tillstånd som uppstår till följd av bland annat långvarig exponering för hög arbetsbelastning utan tillräcklig återhämtning. Yoga diskuteras inom forskning som en potentiell intervention för att minska faktorer, såsom långvarig arbetsrelaterad stress och sömnsvårigheter, vilka på sikt kan leda ti

The purpose of the study was to capture a number of views on what impact language has on integration processes and social life. Since language is an important component of communication amongst people, it affects several aspects of everyday life such as occupation and social participation. To accomplish the aim eight people of foreign origin with experience of studying the language education progr

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to gain knowledge and visualize significant issues that a future leadership of the Øresund Region should take into consideration in order to promote regional development. Context: In 2000 Copenhagen in Denmark and Malmö in Sweden got connected by the 18km long Øresund Bridge. The bridge’s explicit purpose was not only to physically connect Denmark and Sweden

Our objective is to describe and analyze the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and CSR dynamics in developing countries like Pakistan, with a focus on the role of Multinational Companies (MNC’s). We aim to provide an illustration for CSR initiatives taken by a multinational firm Nestle, in Pakistan, to understand the perceptions of the stakeholders concerning CSR and see how CSR can

Many researchers emphasize the increasing strategic importance of supply chain management, but there is still a lack of concrete guidance for managers faced with strategic decisions in supply chain. Within decision-making theories, the rational decision-making model is the most commonly used. This because of its suitable foundation, enabling a structure to the complex decision process. The rationa

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) cause almost half of the human cancers that are attributable to viruses. HPV type 16 is the most carcinogenic type among the HPVs and is detected in 50% of all cervical cancers. HPV-16 infects epithelial cells and HPV-16 gene expression is tightly linked to the differentiation stage of the infected cells. Early HPV-16 genes are expressed in basal layers of the epithel

Since 1950s fossil fuels are the main source of anthropogenic emissions (Friedlingstein et al., 2019) and developing economies with their increasing demand of energy are contributing to global fossil fuel consumption increasingly. Turkey, similarly, has been experiencing an increase of energy demand and have been heavily relied on fossil fuels in consumption patterns. This study employs Fairclough

This thesis examines the relationship between Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) factors and investment strategies. Specifically, it focuses on how ESG scores can influence investment decisions within companies listed on the DAX Index, the benchmark German stock market index. Using Granger causality on individual companies from the DAX and on portfolios built on the ESG score of companies w

A complex reaction mechanism of oxidation of the anti-tubercular prodrug isoniazid (isonicotinic hydrazide, INH) by [IrCl6]2− as a model for redox processes of such drugs in biological systems has been studied in aqueous solution as a function of pH between 0 and 8.5. Similar experiments have been performed with its isomer nicotinic hydrazide (NH). All reactions are overall second-order, first-ord

The current state of the water and sanitation sector has put water­related innovations high on the global policy agenda. However, the systemic complexity that typically surrounds such contexts call for actionable knowledge of how to enable and orchestrate innovative solutions by connecting different players via organized networks.

Regeringen beslutade 2009 om en satsning på strategiska forskningsområden, som ett led i att skapa världsledande forskning, på rekommendation av Vetenskapsrådet, Fas, Formas, Vinnova och Energimyndigheten.

Lunds universitet har 11 strategiska forskningsområden, vars verksamhet spänner över i princip alla fakulteter och ofta är tvärvetenskaplig, för vilka LU årligen erhåller ca 190 MSEK i In 2009, the government decided to invest in strategic research areas, as part of creating world-leading research, on the recommendation of the Swedish Research Council, Fas, Formas, Vinnova and the Swedish Energy Agency..

Lund University has 11 strategic research areas, the activities of which span virtually all faculties and are often interdisciplinary, for which LU annually receives ab
