This thesis will explore the social norms around the practice of voluntary donations. It will also discuss more generally what this system of school funding means in terms of equality. All of which will be done using a socio-legal conception of norms and theories of capital. The data of this thesis consists of funding reports requested from schools, academic reports reported by the government and

Följande uppsats studerar hur män respektive kvinnor använder sig av det sociala mediet Facebook för att framställa ett visst uppträdande samt möjliga bakomliggande faktorer till beteendet. Facebook är ett populärt nätverk som hjälper människor att integrera med varandra både nationellt och internationellt. Genom de olika funktionerna kan individer presentera sin personlighet och styra sitt framtr

Obesity is a worldwide epidemic, affecting children as well as adults. Obesity is a major risk factor for number of chronic diseases, it is closely related to premature mortality and other negative effects on health-related quality of life. Obesity places great economic burden on states as well as obese individuals themselves. Addressing obesity seems an urgent matter, but who should be responsibl

Background/Aim: The Kingdom of Cristal, an area in southern Sweden, is historically heavily burdened by heavy metals. Cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic have previously been used in glass production and large amounts of glass crust have been deposited around the Kingdom of Cristal and used as filling material for the construction of new residential areas, parks and schools. The purpose of the proj

BackgroundEarly identification of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains challenging. We aimed to identify key predictors of new-onset AKI within 48 h after ICU admission and renal replacement therapy (RRT) need within 7 days, using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) with eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). We also assessed whether XGBoost improved predictive peBACKGROUND: Early identification of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains challenging.

The nuclear architecture describes the organization of the various compartments in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, where a plethora of processes such as nucleocytoplasmic transport, gene expression, and assembly of ribosomal subunits occur in a dynamic manner. During the different phases of the cell cycle, in post-mitotic cells and after oncogenic transformation, rearrangements of the nuclear arcThe nuclear architecture describes the organization of the various compartments in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, where a plethora of processes such as nucleocytoplasmic transport, gene expression, and assembly of ribosomal subunits occur in a dynamic manner.

Partially Premixed Combustion (PPC) has shown its potential by combining high combustion controllability with emission characteristics that are close to those of an HCCI engine. In order to get PPC the ignition delay needs to be long enough for the fuel and air to mix prior to combustion. This can be achieved by injecting the fuel sufficiently early while running with high EGR.In order to find outPartially Premixed Combustion (PPC) has shown its potential by combining high combustion controllability with emission characteristics that are close to those of an HCCI engine.

Popular Abstract in English Modern society is still largely based on fossil resources. However, there are growing concerns about the security and cost of these resources, as well as climate change resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels. Biofuels represent renewable fuels with the potential to mitigate the adverse effects of fossil fuels, providing a more sustainable alternative. The transpBioethanol from sugarcane is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, and the increasing demand for fuel ethanol has prompted studies on the use of the lignocellulosic residues of sugarcane, namely bagasse and leaves, as new feedstock. This thesis describes various process designs and the economic feasibility of producing second generation (2G) ethanol from bagasse and leaves via the enzymatic r

In 1997 several articles from the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. where released about Swedens history with forced sterilization on disabled citizens. The aim of this essay is to analyze the discourses around disabled people and abled people and see the how the journalists write about sterilized citizens. The method chosen for this essay is discourse analysis with the help of Michel Foucault and

In contemporary tourism, technology enables travelers to make travel arrangements in various ways, for example they can reserve tickets directly from airlines company’s website or purchase products from online travel agencies. Considering that travelers have many alternatives but insist in making transactions with traditional travel agencies, there must be something that makes traditional travel a

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the “Levers of Control” theory through empirical insights on the use of levers of control to control strategy and drive strategic change in a corporatized context. Methodology: A single-case study built on a qualitative research strategy around a revelatory case of corporatization has been chosen to fulfill the purpose of this study. Data co

Amyloid protein aggregation results in major disturbances of cellular processes in humans. The most common amyloid-related disorders are Alzheimer´s disease and Parkinson´s disease. Parkinson´s disease is charaterized by the formation of protein-rich aggregates that are deposited in neurons, termed Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. The main component identified in these protein-rich deposits is the pAmyloid protein aggregation results in major disturbances of cellular processes in humans.

Basic human rights are not being met in many parts of the world. People in poverty suffer from hunger, ill-health, poor education and low standards of living which negatively affect their well-being. These reasons and poverty as a wide spread social problem that undermines the economy and development of entire nations, make poverty socially relevant and important to study. To understand how poor p

The aim of this paper is to investigate if the macroeconomic balance approach will generate different misalignments whether net foreign assets or cumulative current account is applied. The dataset consist of the G10 countries and range from 1981 to 2011. The relevant determinants of the current account are found to be fiscal balance, population growth, net foreign assets, cumulative current accoun

The evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley (1887–1975) attempted to promote a “religion for the future,” which he would come to refer to as Transhumanism. It was Huxley’s firm belief that mankind needed a unifying system of thought that could motivate action and change. Transhumanism was also an attempt to unite a more traditional humanistic view of the human as containing some form of core essence
