In Africa there are approximately 91,5 million women and girls who have been subject to the traditional practice of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C). Mothers subject their daughters to FGM/C as an act of love as society regards this to be the process a girl becomes a woman; furthermore a non-circumcised woman is deemed as unfit for marriage. This perception stems from deeply rooted social
Tourism has recently been acknowledged as a potential means for sustainable development. This study examined what tourism has meant for the community members involved in community based tourism (CBT) projects in rural Quintana Roo, Mexico, with regards to the sustainable development of their communities. The study used a qualitative case study research design to compare two different approaches to
”What is human trafficking?” At first sight of this seemingly innocent question, it is difficult to imagine the implications and controversies that it contains. Although human trafficking is not a new phenomenon there was up to the 2000s no definite statement of the problem. But when the trade of human beings that increasingly grew in size was no longer possible to ignore, the United Nations tried
Syftet med denna studie var att ta reda på om rollförväntningar, social interaktion samt demografisk data kunde predicera om brevbärare drivs av inre eller yttre motivation. Ytterligare ett syfte var att ta reda på om dessa faktorer kunde förklara någon unik varians i den yttre eller inre motivationen. En enkät sändes till 120 brevbärare på 10 olika kontor och svarsfrekvensen var 80 procent. 28 peThe purpose with this study was to explore if role expectance, social interaction and demographic data could predict whether a person derives from extrinsic or intrinsic motivation. Another aim was to see if these factors could prove of any unique difference to whether postmen derive of extrinsic or intrinsic motivation. A survey was sent to 120 mailmen on 10 different offices and the response was
This study uses a discursive psychology method to analyse four interviews with parents of non-heterosexual children. The aim of this thesis is to examine how heterosexuality is constructed, and in which manner it is being challenged by the encounter with non-heterosexual family members. The theoretical basis for the thesis is queer theory, with a specific focus on how the heterosexual matrix and
The recycling sector and the solid waste management systems (SWMS) in developing countries greatly rely on scavengers, a vulnerable and marginal urban population that recover items or materials to be reused or recycled. As a new mindset towards waste emerges, considering it a resource instead of something useless and undesirable; governments, NGOs, private companies and other stakeholders slowly r
The aim of the present European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guideline is to provide evidence-based recommendations on the acute management of patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO). These guidelines were prepared following the Standard Operational Procedure of the ESO and according to the GRADE methodology. Although BAO accounts for only 1–2% of all strokes, it has very poor natural outcome. W
Preamble: Robotic magnetic navigation (RMN)-guided catheter ablation (CA) technology has been used for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias for almost 20 years. Various studies reported that RMN allows for high catheter stability, improved lesion formation and a superior safety profile. So far, no guidelines or recommendations on RMN-guided CA have been published. Purpose: The aim of this consensu
This chapter responds to the following question: what substantive positive obligations did the Court formulate in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz under Article 8 ECHR that can actually guide the future conduct of States? To frame it even more specifically, what is the content of these positive obligations? More precisely, this content is clarified through the lens of the standard of causation. Cau
Household salt, Sodium Chloride (NaCl), has been suggested as an appropriate material for retrospective and prospective optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) radiation dosimetry. The current paper investigates the potential application of NaCl pellets during a radiological and/or nuclear emergency, together with an existing portable reader, for application as a novel tool for in situ screening o
Phosphate hydrolysis is ubiquitous in biology. However, despite intensive research on this class of reactions, the precise nature of the reaction mechanism remains controversial. Herein, we have examined the hydrolysis of three homologous phosphate diesters. The solvation free energy was simulated by means of either an implicit solvation model (COSMO), hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanica
The aim of this study was to explore how people with impairments perceived the accessibility of information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden and what improvements they suggest to ensure accessibility of information in future societal crises. The study had a descriptive design, involving interviews and focus group discussions with people with impairments and their representative organisati
With a critical focus on the interpretative work of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, this article sets out the parameters of applying non-discrimination under article 2(2) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in conjunction with article 11(1) on the right to adequate housing to discrimination suffered by migrants and refugees in access to exis
High-entropy perovskite catalyst was synthesized and utilized for the first time in the MSR catalytic reaction. Among the HEPs, La(CoCuFeAlCe)0.2O3 exhibited excellent MSR activity and high selectivity. The mechanism of the MSR reaction on the catalyst (100) surface was studied by employing DFT. The results indicate that the surface of La(CoCuFeAlCe)0.2O3 catalyst has the lowest energy barrier, wh
OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate timely reporting of clinical trial results at medical universities and university hospitals in the Nordic countries.STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: In this cross-sectional study, we included trials (regardless of intervention) registered in the EU Clinical Trials Registry and/or ClinicalTrials.gov, completed 2016-2019, and led by a university with medical faculty or
Diffusion models were initially developed for text-to-image generation and are now being utilized to generate high quality synthetic images. Preceded by generative adversarial networks (GANs), diffusion models have shown impressive results using various evaluation metrics. However, commonly used metrics such as Frechet inception distance and inception score are not suitable for determining whether
Ocean evaporation, represented by latent heat flux (LE), plays a crucial role in global precipitation patterns, water cycle dynamics, and energy exchange processes. However, existing bulk methods for quantifying ocean evaporation are associated with considerable uncertainties. The maximum entropy production (MEP) theory provides a novel framework for estimating surface heat fluxes, but its applica
