Urban greening is increasingly promoted as a strategy for sustainable city development, yet it often carries hidden social costs. This thesis explores the green rehabilitation of Budapest’s 8th district, Józsefváros, a historically diverse neighbourhood undergoing significant change. Using critical urban theory, the right to the city, and feminist urbanism, this study examines how sustainable urba

Deklinationsdata från sedimentära borrkärnor från sjöarna Kälksjön, Gyltigesjön, Byestadsjön, Mötterudstjärnet, Furskogstjärnet, Frängsjön och Särsjön visar västlig riktning i den övre delen. Denna västliga riktning följer inte paleomagnetiska modeller och är missvisande. Med hjälp av Microsoft Excel har dessa missvisningar korrigerats och använts för att skapa en svensk version av FENNOSTACK, kalDeclination data from cores from swedish lake sediments show a westward declination in the upper part of most cores. This does not align with paleomagnetic models and is therefore considered false. Using Microsoft Excel these false values have been corrected and used in a swedish version of FENNOSTACK called SWESTACK. SWESTACK gives a mean value with 95\% confidence of the declination over the per

This paper examines the relationship between oil prices and its pass-through to inflation and inflation differentials in the European Monetary Union from the first quarter of 1999 to the last quarter of 2021. By using local projections to derive impulse response functions of an oil price shock, the pass-through to the inflation level is examined focusing on the role of energy-related transmission

Purpose: The importance of body positivity is visible in its remarkable media presence. The movement entails challenges such as opportunities for brands. The purpose of this paper is to examine why companies adapt to the body positivity movement, what they are exactly doing regarding body positivity and how this is related to the brand’s reputation. Methodology: Literature and media review, Case

Uppsatsen är en tudelad analys av barn- och ungdomsboken The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making av Catherynne M. Valente. Den första delen är en källtextanalys i vilken bland annat bokens kontext, teman, narration och stil studeras. Den andra delen utgörs av en översättningsanalys med särskilt fokus på animatheten i berättelsen. Denna del inleds med en genomgång av begr

The purpose of this paper is to empirically study the consequences of Swedish democracy after the entry to the European Union. This is done by comparing the years of 1990 and 2003, since Sweden became a EU-member 1995 after the referendum in 1994. To study the changes in the democratic process are Robert Dahl’s five criterias for democracy used. The result shows that the major democratic problem i

This master thesis invites the reader to acquire and examine new evidence about an emerging and growing sub-genre type of documentary film called Ayahuasca documentary. This study bases its definition of the Ayahuasca documentary sub-genre on a current work in the progress catalogue of over 50 documentary films, two of which were selected as case studies. These films suggest a growing cultural int

This paper is devoted to the actual questions beyond the liquidity-volatility relationship on Copenhagen Stock Exchange. The applied data set consists of daily index returns, turnover rates, proportional bid-ask spreads and illiquidity ratios over the period from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2013 for the actively traded stocks comprised in the OMX C20 index. This study conducts the standard GARC

This paper investigates how compassion with and understanding for the suffering of the other is constructed by the media and why certain choices are made with respect to coverage and framing. Articles published in the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter in relation to three different cases that all take place in Haiti have been surveyed by using quantitative content analysis and qualitative textual a

Dendritic cells (DC) undergo complex developmental changes during maturation. The MHC class H (MHC H) molecules of immature DC accumulate in intracellular compartments, but are expressed at high levels on the plasma membrane upon DC maturation. It has been proposed that the cysteine protease inhibitor cystatin C (CyC) plays a pivotal role in the control of this process by regulating the activity o

Flow cytometry provides accurate relative cellular quantitation (percent abundance) of cells from diverse samples, but technical limitations of most flow cytometers preclude accurate absolute quantitation. Several quantitation standards are now commercially available which, when added to samples, permit absolute quantitation of CD4+ T cells. However, these reagents are limited by their cost, techn

The thermodynamics and kinetics of formation of host-guest complexes between a series of bolaform surfactants of type C(n)Me(6)(2+)2Br(-) (n = 8, 10, and 12) and alpha-cyclodextrin and beta-cyclodextrin were studied with the aid of isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) at 298.15 and 308.20 K. The association constant, the enthalpy, and the entropy of formation were determined. The obtained thermo

Helicobacter pylon is found commonly in the gut of the human beings and animals. This bacterium is found usually when patients suffer from upper GI infections. H. pylon has been found in the patients in antral biopsies in Mumbai, India. We have found H. pylon in antral biopsies and faeces in another Study we have done. The mode of transmission of H. pylon is yet not confirmed although two routes a

Factor I (FI) is a crucial inhibitor controlling all complement pathways due to its ability to degrade activated complement proteins C3b and C4b in the presence of cofactors such as factor H, C4b-binding protein, complement receptor 1 or CD46. Complete deficiency of FI, which is synthesized mainly in the liver is rare and leads to complement consumption resulting in recurrent severe infections, gl

WHO has expressed that people with intellectual disabilities (ID) often are disadvantaged when it comes to accessing healthcare. However, a more solid evidence base is needed to determine if, and in which parts of the health system people with ID have lower access.

The aim of our work was to calculate basic mathematical characteristics of payment functional, such as mathematical expectation, variation and expected risk in discrete and continuous market models. In our paper we present a model of financial market in which the entire time interval in the continuous model is divided into steps with exponential distribution, and in the discrete model into steps o
