This thesis approaches the moral responsibility debate from the “victim’s perspective,” a perspective that is often neglected in the literature. My aim is to show that by taking the victim’s perspective, philosophical discussions can gain a more spherical if not, complete picture of responsibility practices. The thesis explores the implications of adopting or excluding certain perspectives in phil
Objective While the incidence of children suffering from autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasing in Sweden and worldwide, the underlying etiology and cellular mechanisms behind this remain unknown. The predisposition of the high-risk HLA DR-DQ genotype and as yet unknown environmental triggers lead to autoimmunity and the onset of T1D, which is preceded by islet beta-cell autoantibodies a
Trabectedin (ET-743, Yondelis) is a natural marine compound with antitumour activity currently undergoing phase II/III clinical trials. The mechanism of the drug's action is still to be defined, even though it has been clearly demonstrated the key role of Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER). To get further insights into the drug's mode of action, we studied the involvement of the DNA-double strand br
In the Solar System, asteroids and Kuiper belt objects as well as comets are remnant planetesimals from the time of planet formation. Interactions between solids and gas inside a protoplanetary disc can, e.g. through the streaming instability, form gravitationally bound planetesimal-mass clouds of pebbles. Such clouds will inevitably have inelastic collisions between pebbles, lose energy and exper
For the Phase-II Upgrade of the ATLAS Detector [1], its Inner Detector, consisting of silicon pixel, silicon strip and transition radiation sub-detectors, will be replaced with an all new 100% silicon tracker, composed of a pixel tracker at inner radii and a strip tracker at outer radii. The future ATLAS strip tracker will include 11,000 silicon sensor modules in the central region (barrel) and 7,
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vatten är inte bara en oumbärlig resurs varav allt liv är beroende. Det är också en grundläggande ekonomisk resurs för samhällsutvecklingen. Av allt vatten på jorden är bara 0,34% tillgängligt för människan. Övriga vattenresurser föreligger som saltvatten, is eller djupt liggande grundvatten. Vattenkrisen på jorden är stor och över 780 miljoner människor saknar rimlig tFresh water scarcity, pollution and an uneven distribution have caused an increasingly serious global water crisis. One of the most widely adopted response strategies is the exploitation and use of non-conventional water sources. Water reuse and desalination were in focus in the study which was aimed to develop the strategies to promote the sustainable and safe use of reclaimed water and desalinat
Introduction: Widening participation in education by including students from underrepresented groups has been recognized as important for the last decade. During the recent pandemic, the interest in how to make students from different backgrounds feel part of the university, and connected to their studies and peers, has become an even more widespread concern and therefore important to explore furt
Methods to involve users in design have long been used to create relevant content and increase the accuracy of product development. Demographic trends have raised the issue of the needs and demands of older people, especially with regard to digitization. In contrast to the high number of publications discussing the importance of involving people in the design of their daily life, very few publicat
Covid-19 har resulterat i en problematik på flertal arbetsplatser och de ovaccinerade arbetstagarna kan anses utgöra en säkerhetsrisk, som arbetsgivaren i sin tur har en skyldighet att förhindra. Det har därmed uppstått en fråga huruvida införandet av ett vaccinationskrav kan ses som en nödvändig åtgärd. Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa frågan gällande vaccinationskrav på arbetsplatsen och iThe covid-19 pandemic has contributed to a problematic situation in workplaces due to the safety risk unvaccinated employees entail, which the employer has an obligation to prevent. The question is whether a vaccination requirement can be seen as a necessary measure. The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the workplace related requirement of vaccination and to what extent the employer can impo
The overall aim of this study is to get closer look at the prehistoric individual on a more social level. This will be attempted through a qualitative understanding of how one can interpret gender using a source material from two Iron Age cemeteries both located in the very southeastern corner of Sweden. In doing this, the study revolves around a crucial understanding of three theoretical ideas: G
Context Background Globalisation, increasing product complexity, volatile demand, and financial crisis all put strains on the supply, processing, and distribution of goods. That’s why supply chain management has become the area to focus on to gain competitive advantages and reduce costs. Saint-Gobain Sekurit Scandinavia (SGSS) is part of a large global French enterprise, Saint-Gobain that’s a worl
The critics about poor performance of NGOs over the last two decades focuses on their inclination towards ‘big D’ development – project based intentional activity in health, education and water which has little intention to challenge existing power relation and social structures - and underlined the loss of transformatory edge of participation. Critics further urged NGOs to realign their orientati
This essay is about the fulfillment of the millennium development goals (MDG) and goal five in particular. That goal is about maternal health and has two targets. The first one is to reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio and the second one is to achieve universal access to reproductive health. The main question in this study is why the millennium development goal about improving ma
The primary purpose of our study is to get a better understanding of the employees’ experience of their job performance with the emergence of ChatGPT. This includes taking a socio-technical perspective to explore the employees’ perspective with using this technology. The study was carried out using a qualitative research method, employing an interpretative perspective and an abductive research app
There are many opportunities for designers and manu- facturers to change consumer behaviour – an important and necessary step towards a less wasteful way of living. I see a need for an example product which could empathise keeping instead of changing. An extensive deep-dive into the psychology surrounding the subject keeping was conducted. This, in combination with own reflections on how fut
This study aims to get a better understanding of how the priorities of the Swedish EU presidency, in the first half of 2023, are presented in the EU debate amongst the Riksdag, that took place in november 2023. Furthermore it explores whether Swedish domestic policy has influenced the way in which the representative politicians discuss different topics connected to the EU, in this debate. Theories
Collective action by small-scale farmers can contribute significantly toward rural development. One important aspect that remains relatively neglected, especially in research set in Africa, is the role of farmer collectives in political processes. We study the local-level dynamics of a farmer-based organization mobilizing for agroecology and food sovereignty in Uganda. Through qualitative, collabo
