This study aimed to identify which perpetrators appear in the culture of honor and how their roles are described in four women's depictions in their autobiographies. Furthermore, the aim was to understand the upholding of the culture of honor through their stories. The chosen method for this study was a qualitative thematic text analysis of four autobiographies. The theoretical framework for t
This thesis investigates the inflation-hedging potential of cryptocurrency baskets relative to traditional hedges like gold and stock indices, using volatility modeling to assess risk-adjusted returns. While cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin have been speculated as potential inflation hedges, their high volatility and limited historical data pose challenges in accurately evaluating their effectiven
This study examines the determinants of player salaries in Europe’s top five men’s football leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1), focusing on the impact of player representation models for forward players. We compare players represented by football agencies versus those represented by relatives, and explore whether agency size affects salaries. Drawing on principal-agent
This study investigates the effects of overfishing and sea-surface temperature changes on the distribution of Orcinus Orca in the North-east Atlantic and aims to evaluate which factors contribute the most to these shifts in orca presence. As apex predators, killer whales can have a great impact on ecosystems and food webs, and a migration to polar ecosystems could have big impacts on arctic system
This thesis uses critical discourse analysis as both theory and method to examine how Legimus and its users are constructed in the Swedish public debate in the context of higher education. Drawing on critical disability studies and crip theory, the thesis aims to highlight the norms about ability and disability that these constructions legitimate and reproduce. The empirical material for this thes
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization's convention, agreement or other international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response, often referred to as the 'pandemic treaty', was established with principles to guide implementation. The treaty's underlying ethic was cosmopolitan in intent, emphasizing equal value of all people with obligations stemming from shared humanity.METH
Universities and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly engaging in collaborations that translate academic knowledge into practical business applications, thereby contributing to innovation, competitiveness, and development. For SMEs, which often face resource and capability constraints, partnerships with universities can provide important support for business model innovation
After a long period of being constructed as anonymous administration complexes, first instance courts are once again being built as emblematic elements of the city, designed by renowned architects and rising up on central plots adjacent to train stations, headquarter buildings and exclusive residential areas. This is happening at a time of centralisation, upsizing and property privatisation, and w
Deuterons are atomic nuclei composed of a neutron and a proton held together by the strong interaction. Unbound ensembles composed of a deuteron and a third nucleon have been investigated in the past using scattering experiments, and they constitute a fundamental reference in nuclear physics to constrain nuclear interactions and the properties of nuclei. In this work, K+-d and p-d femtoscopic corr
Pixel sensors in 3D technology equip the outer ends of the staves of the Insertable B Layer (IBL), the innermost layer of the ATLAS Pixel Detector, which was installed before the start of LHC Run 2 in 2015. 3D pixel sensors are expected to exhibit more tolerance to radiation damage and are the technology of choice for the innermost layer in the ATLAS tracker upgrade for the HL-LHC programme. While
Collective action is a powerful tool for social change and is fundamental to women and girls’ empowerment on a societal level. Collective action towards gender equality could be understood as intentional and conscious civic behaviors focused on social transformation, questioning power relations, and promoting gender equality through collective efforts. Various instruments to measure collective act
The observation of the electroweak production of a W boson and a photon in association with two jets, using pp collision data at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre of mass energy of s=13 TeV, is reported. The data were recorded by the ATLAS experiment from 2015 to 2018 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb-1. This process is sensitive to the quartic gauge boson couplings via the
Human dignity is a key foundational value for human rights. Human rights are however facing new challenges from the development and deployment of artificial intelligence technologies in society. Governance efforts to address such challenges have encompassed drawing up ethical guidelines, policy measures as well as legal regulation. The world’s first comprehensive regulation on artificial intellige
In 1974, amidst a hunger strike by undocumented workers in Paris, the Movement of Arab Workers created a singular political action: presenting a candidate for the imminent presidential elections. They chose a member of their Al Assifa theatre group, an 18-year-old Tunisian hunger striker using the pseudonym Djellali Kamal. The campaign was conceived as a public performance highlighting the denial
