Unilateral coercive measures are a foreign policy tool that are thousands of years old and used by states in response to foreign policy concerns. Their use has become more common throughout the 21st Century, and this raises concerns from a human rights perspective. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate that unilateral coercive measures exacerbate suffering and add additional human rights vi
This study examines relative clause (RC) processing in Persian learners of English and native speakers of English to explore whether or how different task demands, referential context information with three potential RC antecedents along with the variables noun type (definite, indefinite), RC length (short, long) and RC type (extraposed, non-extraposed) affect their processing, using both an onlin
The aim of this project is to transfer and implement a monoclonal antibody purification process that is traditionally done on an ÄKTAxpress to another machine called the ÄKTA pure. This is due to the fact that the ÄKTAxpress is being discontinued by the manufacturer and a replace-ment machine is needed for the time being. The project will include developing some new meth-ods that might also highli
Systemic risk can be defined as the risk to the whole financial system. Financial institutions may contribute more or less to this risk, and measuring the systemic risk contributions of institutions is of central importance for regulators. This is important since it makes it possible to determine to what extent different institutions contribute to the overall systemic risk of the financial system
This thesis explores how the German right-wing political party AfD constructs a national identity in their political discourse around refugees, migrants, and foreigners. The rise of refugees and migrants worldwide has led to a renewed focus on the concepts of nation-states and national identity in defining who does and does not belong. Germany, which has taken on close to a million refugees from t
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the existing research within the subject of the Magic Formula. The investment strategy will be tested on historical data for companies on the Stockholm stock exchange during the period 2007-04-01 to 2017-03-31. The return will be benchmarked against OMXS30 as an indicator of the market return. In addition to comparisons between the return of the Magic
I takt med att chatbottar blir allt vanligare inom digital kommunikation blir det avgörande att förstå hur deras kommunikationsstil påverkar användarupplevelsen. Denna studie undersöker hur olika kommunikationsstilar, formell, vardaglig, och opromptad, påverkar användarnas uppfattning om mänsklighet och förtroende för AI-genererade chatbottsvar. Med en within-participants undersökningsdesign fick
It is reported that the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor has been affected by extreme precipitation events. Since the 20th century, extreme weather events have occurred frequently, and the damage and loss caused by them have increased. In particular, the flood disaster caused by excessive extreme precipitation seriously hindered the development of the human society. Based on CRiteria Importance Th
Public engagement in local environmental planning and decision-making is often advocated on various grounds, both instrumental and normative. Yet in developed countries in the context of renewable energy infrastructure deployment, place attachment, place identity and place-protective action continue to be implicated in public objection. We set out an interdisciplinary change readiness hypothesis o
The complex interplay of the tumour and immune cells affects tumour growth, progression, and response to treatment. Restorationof effective immune response forms the basis of onco-immunology, which further enabled the development of immunotherapy. Inthe era of precision medicine, pin-pointing patient biological heterogeneity especially in relation to patient-specific immunemicroenvironment is a ne
This review is part of a series of country-based studies generating new evidence on financial protection in European health systems. Financial protection is central to universal health coverage and a core dimension of health system performance.The incidence of catastrophic health spending is low in Sweden compared to many countries in Europe due to relatively high levels of public spending on heal
PURPOSE: To report the lifetime risk of visual impairment resulting from glaucoma in patients originally followed up in a 10-year prospective randomized study initiated in 1981 to assess patients with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP).DESIGN: Retrospective patient chart review.PARTICIPANTS: Data on deceased patients who initially were followed up prospectively in the randomized controlled study
The valorization of lignin offers sustainable and renewable products and materials. For that reason lignin needs to be further analyzed although the various challenges this process implicates. The major obstacles in this field are lignin’s chemical heterogeneity, all the modifications in lignin’s chemical structure owing to its extraction method and purification process and the lack of appropriate
Artificial neural networks are, again, on the rise. The decreasing costs of computing power and the availability of big data together with advancements of neural network theory have made this possible. In this thesis, LSTM (long short-term memory) recurrent neural networks are used in order to perform financial time series forecasting on return data of three stock indices. The indices are S&P
Popular Abstract in Swedish Intensifieringen av jordbruket sedan 1950-talet har lett till en ökad matproduktion men också orsakat miljöproblem så som förlust av biologisk mångfald, jorderosion, övergödning, ökade utsläpp av växthusgaser samt föroreningar av bekämpningsmedel. Det är därför nödvändigt att utveckla ett mer hållbart jordbruk samtidigt som vi upprätthåller den globala matförsörjningen Agricultural intensification has raised the global food production but also caused major concerns about environmental and health effects, including contamination by pesticides. Pesticide applications may induce toxicity not only on the target pest species but especially on non-target species. Hence we need to replace pesticides with management that promote organisms that suppress pest population.
The chronic problem of music piracy is inevitable with the utilisation of the internet. Music, being classified as information good, makes the consumer to “free-ride” and sub-optimal production of these goods is likely to happen. Copyright is an instrument in helping the continuity of creative activity. The essence of copyright law is also to protect the interests and rights of the writers, produc
Daphne Arbouz, Spaces of in-between, ‘hybridity’ self-identification and agency of change in personal narratives of non-belonging, Master’s thesis 30p. Lund University, 2011. Narratives of non-belonging and identity formations surrounding the concept of ‘hybridity’ in autobiographic material are discussed and interpreted. Conflicting views existing between ethnocentrically and multi-pluralistica
