The World Health Organization declared COVID-19, the infectious disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, a pandemic on March 12, 2020. COVID-19 is causing massive health problems and economic suffering around the world. The European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) promptly recognised the impact that the outbreak could have on people with obesity. On one side, emerging data suggest
I över femtio år har Teaterhögskolan i Malmö utbildat skådespelare som verkat på svenska och internationella scener, i film, radio och tv. Skolan har ett gediget rykte som en av Nordens ledande teaterutbildningar med ett tydligt metodiskt förhållningssätt, en medveten pedagogisk progression och en konsekvent syn på teaterns kunskapskärna som handlingsbaserad. Teaterhögskolan har funnits på BergsgaFor over fifty years Malmö Theatre Academy has trained professional actors working in theatre, film, radio, and TV nationally and internationally. It has a solid reputation as one of the Nordic region's leading theater educations with a clear methodological approach, a conscious pedagogical progression, and a consistent view of the theater's core knowledge as action based. The academy is located a
This thesis investigates the role of trust in the context of decentralised finance (DeFi). Representing a new paradigm shift in finance, DeFi emerge from the technological developments that we have witnessing in the last decades, particularly decentralised ledger technologies (DLTs) of which Blockchain is perhaps the most popular. DeFi is changing the way that firms raise financial capital and a c
Vid Kärlsektionen, Verksamhetsområde Thorax-Kärl, bedriver kärlkirurger, kärlmedicinare (angiologer), radiologer och sjuksköterskor både kvantitativ och kvalitativ, tvärprofessionell och experimentell forskning med fokus främst på sjukdomar i aorta, mesenterial-, karotis- och benartärer samt venös tromboembolism. Integrationen av kärlkirurger och kärlmedicinare ger sektionen en ledande position iAt Vascular Centre, Department of Cardio-Thoracic and Vascular Surgery, vascular surgeons, vascular physicians, radiologists and nurses are committed to quantitative and qualitative, multidisciplinary and experimental research with focus on diseases of the aorta, mesenteric, carotid and lower limb arteries, and venous thromboembolism. The integration of vascular surgeons and vascular physicians g
The purpose of this thesis’ topic is to investigate the evolutionary dispersal of the Charon’s fee or Obolus rite outside the Roman provinces in Northern Europe, with a specific focus on Roman Iron Age and Migration Period Scandinavia. The aim of this study is therefore to add further understanding to the spread of Roman cultural influences outside the imperial borders and what made Roman material
While foreign direct investments (FDI) are promoted as a vehicle for economic development their environmental consequences are less established. This study tests the hypotheses that 1) FDI led to environmental degradation in form of increased greenhouse gas emissions during Sub-Saharan Africa´s recent growth spurt but that 2) this impact was felt to a lesser extent in countries with a higher quali
Increased use of powerful PCR technology for the routine detection of pathogens has focused attention on the need for international validation and preparation of official non-commercial guidelines. Bacteria of epidemiological importance should be the prime focus, although a "validation infrastructure" once established could easily be adapted for PCR-based detection of viruses and parasites. The ai
The aim of this paper is to study the extent to which non-Annex I countries are implementing or exploring select actions that support both climate change mitigation and sustainable development objectives in the energy sector. The research is based on a survey of the national communications of 100 non-Annex I Parties to the UNFCCC. Although national communications are intended to provide informatio
Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) diagnostics and prognostics are challenging, particularly in highly malignant and pleomorphic subtypes such as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and leiomyosarcoma (LMS). We applied 32K BAC arrays and gene expression profiling to 18 extremity soft tissue LMS and 31 extremity soft tissue UPS with the aim of identifying molecular subtype signatures and genomic prog
Bacterial infections represent a serious health care problem, and all multicellular organisms have developed defense mechanisms to eliminate pathogens that enter the host via different paths including wounds. Many invertebrates have an open circulatory system, and effective coagulation systems are in place to ensure fast and efficient closure of wounds. It was proposed early on that coagulation sy
Adopting a qualitative approach to the investigation of high achievement, the authors analyzed how high-achieving women in the Swedish workplace made meaning of positive and negative experiences in their work. The data consisted of interviews with 15 women identified as being high achieving in their respective field, and it was analyzed using grounded theory methodology. The women described five d
Purpose: This study’s purpose is to study the long term effects of M&A and to examine whether stock price is the only determinant of post-merger performance or if operating performance can be used as an additional determinant. How underlying variables impact these measures are also part of this study´s purpose. Methodology: A quantitative approach is used where two event studies are conducte
Payment for water ecosystem services has been gaining attention in Latin America because of the direct response for environmental conservation through economic mechanisms. By connecting nature services with people who benefit from them, it creates a sustainable intervention for the ecosystem’s management while enhancing human well-being according to policy implementers. Nevertheless, these initiat
Climate change poses a significant threat to global stability, with rising temperatures leading to severe environmental and economic impacts. In response, innovative policy mechanisms such as the Global Carbon Reward (GCR) have been designed to enhance the effectiveness of carbon pricing strategies. The foundational aspect of the GCR is a carbon reward, which acts as a financial incentive distribu
