The right to health for persons with disabilities in the global South is far from being realized. The 2011 World Report on Disability suggests that the majority of persons with disabilities live in low- and middle-income countries. Further studies suggest that around 80% of persons with disabilities in global South countries report poor health. With this in mind, this thesis will focus on the righ

Global warming has become a scientific consensus. Climate change induced impacts on both natural and human systems have been observed. Climate financing for mitigation and adaptation has increased over the years, but it is still far from what is needed according to the 1.5 ̊C scenario by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The concept of green bond was developed as an innovative way to

IVF och världsbanken är två grundpelare i det ekonomiska systemet. Ända sedan deras födelse vid Bretton Woods konferensen 1944 har de varit nyckelaktörer i uppbyggnaden av ekonomier. På senare år har organisationerna varit verksamma i att övervaka det monetära systemet och i kriget mot fattigdom världen runt. Men vad är det egentligen som skiljer de två organisationerna åt och vilka konsekvenser f

Indonesien har ratificerat de viktiga internationella mänskliga rättigheter-traktaten som ålägger stater att eliminera diskriminering av kvinnor – CEDAW, ICCPR och ICESCR. Ändå existerar omfattande diskriminering av kvinnor i landet, underblåst särskilt av lokala regleringar som tillkommit genom den starka regionala autonomin. Dessa regleringar, antagna på provins-, region- eller stadsnivå, bryterIndonesia has ratified the crucial international human rights treaties obligating states to eliminate discrimination against women – the CEDAW, the ICCPR and the ICESCR. Yet discrimination against women exists in Indonesia, especially fuelled by local regulations able to arise due to the country’s strong regional autonomy. Enacted either at province, regency or city level, these regulations contra

Hjärnans informationsbearbetning efter stroke Du drar ditt finger över mobilskärmen, lägger kort märke till glasytans känsla och sedan förflyttas ditt fokus till skärmen. Men hur möjliggör hjärnan denna känselupplevelse? Och vad händer när hjärnan inte längre fungerar som den ska? Hur hjärnan bearbetar den stora mängd information den konstant mottar är fortfarande till stora delar okänt. Att veta How the brain processes all the incoming information it receives is still an unanswered question, and many different theories about how it is done exist. This thesis expands on one of these theories which views the brain's information processing as a widely distributed network phenomena, which contradicts the currently most popular hierarchical theory consisting of areas dedicated to processin

Metabolism plays a central role in evolution, as resource conservation is a selective pressure for fitness and survival.Resource-driven adaptations offer a good model to study evolutionary innovation more broadly. It remains unknown howresource-driven optimization of genome function integrates chromatin architecture with transcriptional phase transitions.Here we show that tuning of genome architec

This paper evaluates the cost-effectiveness of renovating single-family houses to Passive House level, as compared to maintaining the existing buildings or renovating to building regulation level. The assessment involved life cycle cost analyses, and concerns the Swedish single-family housing stock constructed between 1961 and 1980, which accounts for about a third of Sweden’s two million single-f

To investigate the symbiotic interaction of Trichoderma harzianum Rifai on Chenopodium quinoa Willd. in isolation, we studied axenic co-culture of the T. harzianum isolates T-22 and BOL-12QD and the C. quinoa cultivars Kurmi and Maniqueña real. Neither T-22 nor BOL-12QD affected seedling growth during two days of co-culture in the early growth phase of rapid primary root extension.

Additive manufacturing (AM), which was first applied for rapid prototyping, is now becoming a real option for small-batch production of final products. Further expansion of AM is closely correlated to production costs. AM can only become competitive to traditional manufacturing methods if a product is designed for AM already from the beginning as it is an expensive technology that should only be a

Tjänstearbetare, bland annat kvinnodominerade yrkesgrupper i offentlig välfärdssektor, står för en ökande andel av arbetskonflikter i världen. Därmed blir studier av strejker i offentlig sektor allt mer relevanta för att vidareutveckla förståelser av strejk som maktmedel. En forskningslucka finns särskilt avseende kommunalarbetares arbetsinställelser. Med målsättningen att utforska villkoren för oThe tertiary sector accounts for a rising share of labour disputes, making studies of public sector strikes increasingly relevant to the understanding of labour market power relations. With the intention of exploring conditions for public sector labour struggles, this study aims to empirically examine the extensive 2003 wage strike carried out by the Swedish Municipal Workers’ Union [Kommunal]. It

Objective: To evaluate sick leave after meniscal repair vs arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) and, for comparison, vs the general population. Method: Using Swedish register data we included all employed persons aged 19–49 years in the general population of Skåne region and identified those having had meniscus repair or APM in the period of 2005–2012. We retrieved data on sick leave during 1 y

It has recently been argued that in normal decision circumstances no systematic decision method that predicts the likelihood that individuals possess some property can be fair. Either (i) the decision method correctly identifies the relevant property (e.g. recidivism) more often in one subgroup (e.g. black defendants) than another (e.g. white defendants); or (ii) the decision method systematically

Ökat användande av testautomation föranleder en grundläggande fråga: Hur tillförlitliga är egentligen alla dessa automatiserade tester? Inom den akademiska forskningen anses mutationstestning vara den mest lovande tekniken för att bedöma en testsvits förmågas att upptäcka fel. Tekniken introducerar avsiktligt fel (så kallade mutanter) i produktionskoden och utvärderar hur många av felen som upptäcThe growing reliance on automated software tests raises a fundamental question: How trustworthy are these automated tests? Today, mutation testing is acknowledged within academic circles as the most promising technique for assessing the fault-detection capability of a test suite. The technique deliberately injects faults (called mutants) into the production code and counts how many of them are cau

Recent industrial interest in producing smaller volumes of products in shorter time frames, in contrast to mass production in previous decades, motivated the introduction of human–robot collaboration (HRC) in industrial settings, as an attempt to increase flexibility in manufacturing applications by incorporating human intelligence and dexterity to these processes. This thesis presents methods for

The race towards sustainability In a rapidly advancing society, energy consumption has increased in tandem with the rise of digitalisation and modern lifestyles. However, the recent situation of producing energy is to use finite resources such as fossil fuels. Furthermore, the use of said resource has side effects that are highly undesirable, as it is a huge contributor towards global warming. Alt
