Background: Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) for skin sensitization is used to derive safe use levels of sensitising fragrance ingredients in products. Post-marketing surveillance of the prevalence of contact allergy to these ingredients provides relevant data to help evaluate the performance of these measures. Objectives: To determine a suitable patch test concentration for five fragrance mater
The addition of polypropylene (PP) fibres has been shown to reduce the fire spalling propensity of concrete. When including this type of fibres in the concrete, the concrete mix becomes less robust, and small deviations in the constitutes change the workability and properties of the concrete. So, from a manufacturing perspective as small dosages as possible of PP fibres are desirable. Very few lar
Athletic sportswear brands endorse celebrity-athletes to promote the brand’s image and gain credibility by having these ‘experts’ associated with their brand. This marketing technique is often advantageous for sportswear companies. However, there may be liabilities and complications for the brand if the endorsed athlete becomes involved in a scandal. The two main purposes of this thesis are to ass
Neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain is well studied, in the two main regions subventricular zone (SVZ) and subgranular zone (SGZ), under different physiological and pathological condition. Recent studies also revealed newly formed neurons in other parts of the brain including the hypothalamus. However, how robust neurogensis in this area is, is still unclear. In this study we used a novel re
I förarbetena till reglerna om materiell processledning anges att omfattningen av domstolens aktivitet måste avgöras mot bakgrund av vad som är motiverat av syftena. Beroende på vilket syfte som är det huvudsakliga kan därför tänkas att den ram som domstolen ska hålla sig inom vid den processledande verksamheten blir olika. Det är därför viktigt att fastställa det huvudsakliga syftet. Det problemIn the legislative history concerning the set of rules that govern the courts direction of proceedings, it can be inferred that the extent of the court's involvement should be a result of what’s motivated by the purposes. It is appropriate to assume that depending on what is determined as the main purpose, the frame for the court's direction of proceedings will vary – along with the outcom
This thesis argues for the significance of worry in Mark Haddon’s A Spot of Bother (2006) and The Red House (2012). All of Haddon’s novels can be said to be a study of the human consciousness, containing a variety of worried characters, but it is notable that worry is most predominantly present in the two novels that centre around complex family dynamics. For this reason, these two novels will be
This study explores two forms of oppressions facing Palestinian women in the Occupied Palestinian Territories: the Israeli Occupation and the Patriarchal Structure in their society. The purpose of the study is to examine how these oppressions intersect and impact Palestinian women’s daily life and their struggle for gender equality. Two question, in accordance with the study’s purpose were of part
Author: Ebba Eiroff Title: Students narratives of loneliness Supervisor: Kristina Göransson Assessor: Mats Hilte The aim for this qualitative study was to examine university students experiences of loneliness based on Erving Goffman’s dramaturgy theory, together with the conceptions of normality, shame and guilt. How students describe feelings of loneliness and how they relate their experiences t
For children with blindness, ball games can be very challenging, as most ball games depend on quick perception of a multitude of things which are by people with good vision in general perceived through vision. The currently available aids for making ball games more accessible for people with blindness, most in the form of audible balls, leave room for improvement. The central aim in this thesis i
Uppsatsen undersöker, genom att använda en doktrinär forskningsmetod, Europadomstolens roll i att utveckla skyddsomfånget för svårt sjuka migranter enligt artikel 3 i den Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (4 november 1950, ETS. 5). Genom utredningen besvarar uppsatsen frågan om Europadomstolen har agerat inom de metoder och principer soThe thesis examines, through the use of the doctrinal research method, the role of the European Court of Human Rights in developing the scope of protection for seriously ill migrants under Article 3 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (4 November 1950, ETS. 5). Through the examination, the thesis answers the question as to whether the Court has acted withi
This paper examines how five news media magazines in Sweden, Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Expressen, Upsala Nya Tidning and Svenska Dagbladet, tell the story of how and when the Swedish police decided to ban flags at Uppsala football club IK Sirius home stadium Studenternas IP in September 2021. Qualitative method was used to examine and analyze 25 articles from a perspective of narrative theory a
Sedan 2004, när förordning 1/2003 trädde ikraft, har kommissionen givits en möjlighet att ersätta sitt förfarande för överträdelsebeslut inom tillämpningen av konkurrensrätt, med ett förenklat förfarande där specifika åtaganden görs bindande gentemot företag. Den huvudsakliga skillnaden ligger i att istället för att behöva genomföra en grundlig utredning gällande ett eller flera företags agerandenAs of 2004, with the entry into force of Regulation 1/2003, the Commission has been granted a possibility to substitute its infringement procedure in competition law enforcement, for a simplified commitment procedure. The major difference lies in that instead of having to conduct a thorough investigation into the behaviour of one or more undertakings, and follow this investigation with a finding o
Myanmar is the world's second-largest producer of opium poppy, the raw material from which heroin and opium are produced. 85% of this opium poppy is cultivated in rural areas of Shan State, where about 1 in 10 households in the villages are directly involved in opium poppy cultivation for the drug industry (MIMU, 2017). The economy of opium poppy permeates social and family dynamics; nonethele
Detta examensarbete ämnar att undersöka om och hur man skulle bygga en modell för att kunna beräkna utsläppen av växthusgaser vid förändringar av transmissionskapacitet. Arbetet avhandlar hur det nuvarande elsystemet är uppbyggt och påverkan på utsläppen av växthusgaser ifrån ökad produktion av förnyelsebar elproduktion och ökad transmission av elektricitet. Utifrån att studera vind- och lastdataIn the light of the importance of climate change and the emissions that have induced it, the ability to calculate the effect on emissions by changing transmission capacity is vital. A model to perform such indicative calculations is developed in this thesis. After researching how the current electricity system is organised, the effects on GHG emissions that are expected from increased renewable el
Glacier retreat has cascading effects for mountain communities whose livelihoods and cultural- cosmological beliefs are deeply intertwined with glacier-fed ecosystems. Loss and damage research and governance overly emphasize economic framings rendering intangible losses invisible. This thesis adopts a Plural Values approach to surface lived experiences of glacier-related loss and damage in the Uga
The emergence of social media has changed the power relations and the practices of tourism destination marketing by enabling the co-existence of user generated content and destination marketing organisation’s content, as well as the content co-creation among these actors. Due to the visual nature of tourism the image-focused social media platforms are particularly interesting for the tourism field
While renewable energy output in the World increases, Russia shows an opposite trend, consisting of a highly engrained fossil fuel-driven economy with very little State priority towards diversifying its energy supply. Accordingly, although wind energy represents only a niche market, it is more economically viable to electrifying Northern peripheral communities than connecting them to the national
The enunciation of the principle of equality and non-discrimination is of fundamental source in international human rights laws and EU-law and has a prominent place in the Icelandic constitution. The principles of equality and non-discrimination are based on various legal concepts that have evolved mainly in international and regional human rights or equality jurisprudence. International legal pro
