This thesis aims to bring a greater understanding of the recent rise in right-wing populism by analysing the authoritarian populist discourse used by Donald Trump when he speaks to his base. In the study, the transcript of his speech at the Minnesota Rally in October 2019 is studied with the method critical discourse psychology. The theoretical framework is a combination of post-structuralism and
Background. T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is a rare neoplasm of precursor lymphoblast origin, for which there is no standard treatment for adults. Results of current treatment strategies in selected populations do exist but are largely unreported for unselected series. Here, we aimed to investigate treatment outcome in a population-based cohort. Material and methods. Patients were identifi
Background and purpose Spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee (SPONK) is a painful lesion in the elderly, frequently leading to osteoarthritis and subsequent knee surgery. We evaluated the natural course and long-term consequences of SPONK in terms of need for major knee surgery. Methods Between 1982 and 1988, 40 consecutive patients were diagnosed with SPONK. The short-term outcome has been report
Gas turbine blade tips encounter large heat load as they are exposed to the high temperature gas. A common way to cool the blade and its tip is to design a serpentine passage with 180-deg turns under the blade tip-cap inside the turbine blade. Improved internal convective cooling is therefore required to increase the blade tip lifetime. In this paper, turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer through
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgår från förhållandet att mödradödligheten traditionellt varit en tungt vägande faktor för kvinnors totala sjukdomsbörda i låginkomstländer. Mödradödligheten är starkt knuten till såväl allmänna levnadsförhållanden i samhället som till tillgång och kvalitet av professionell hälsovård. Det är därför inte förvånande att mer än 99 av 100 mödradödsfall i värlMaternal health services are the least equitable health care services in most low- and middle-income countries. Improving maternal health in Ghana continues to be a major public health challenge. Socio-economic inequalities within the country are greatly reducing the use of maternal health care services despite government policy reforms to improve access to maternal health care services and interv
Popular Abstract in Swedish Huntingtons sjukdom (HS) är en ärftlig och dödlig sjukdom som karakteriseras av ofrivilliga, danslika rörelser vilket gjort att den i folkmun kallas för danssjuka. Diagnosen ställs när de motoriska problemen (ofrivilliga rörelserna) uppträder, vanligtvis i medelåldern, och dessa ökar sedan gradvis och den drabbade personen avlider på grund av sjukdomen efter cirka 15-25Non-motor symptoms and signs such as metabolic and psychiatric disturbances have been reported to occur early in Huntington’s disease (HD), a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the huntingtin gene. However, there is a lack of understanding of the underlying neurobiological mechanisms responsible for the early non-motor features. The hypothalamus has emerged as an
Introduction. Palliative cancer care in acute hospitals is scarcely studied. We therefore described and compared symptoms, care needs and types of cancer sites in 2002 compared to 2007 and analysed the relationships between these factors. Methods. The study was population-based with a cross-sectional design and was carried out in medical, surgical and oncology wards in two acute care hospitals wit
Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to describe and analyze the use of management control systems in the hospitality industry. Methodology: The study is mainly a descriptive, multiple case study based on deductive reasoning. However, explanatory elements occur. The nature of the study is to a large extent qualitative and is primarily based on interviews and analysis of current management control
Den underkambriska lagerföljden i Skandinavien domineras av ljusa, marint avsatta sandstenar och når i Skåne en mäktighet av 120 m. Dess omfattande blottningsgrad har gjort den intressant för olika geologiska undersökningar. På Österlen i sydöstra Skåne är underkambrium blottad vid kusten och i nedlagda stenbrott utanför Simrishamn. Försöken att stratigrafiskt dela in den underkambriska lagerföljThe Lower Cambrian sedimentary succession in Scandinavia is dominated by shallow marine sandstones. In Scania, southern Sweden, this succession is about 120 m thick. Outcrops mainly comprise shore cliffs and abandoned quarries, primarily near the Simrishamn area. Several authors have subdivided this succession stratigraphically by different standards, which has led to confusion and the need for a
This thesis illuminates the deliberative democratic ideal's claim for efficiency and legitimacy that is brought forward by Robyn Eckersley and John S. Dryzek as being an essential brick in the struggle for a societal development that is ecologically sustainable. The take off lies in the belief that the current liberal democracy is incapable of responding sufficiently to the ecological problems
This thesis explores the resurgence of Native American identity. Scholars have observed a dramatic increase of people identifying themselves as Native Americans over the past forty years in the decennial US Census. The increase coincides with the introduction of racial self-declaration in 1960; according to scholars this enables a process of ethnic switching where individuals change their race fro
This research is dedicated to a problem of discrimination of women in local politics in Ukraine. It explores what are the forms of discrimination that women engaged in local politics face, how they perceive and handle discrimination and what kind of impact it has on their political careers. This thesis employs socio-psychological theories of discrimination, the ambivalent sexism theory and the con
Saudi Arabia has been exporting Salafism, a fundamentalist version of Islam, to Bosnia and Herzegovina since the 1992-95 Yugoslav secession war. However, Salafism has been mostly rejected, even though one might expect Bosnian society to be susceptible to radicalism. The purpose of this paper is to make empirical and theoretical contributions to norm diffusion theory, by closely mapping the reasons
The focus of this thesis is centered around the cemeteries in Stockholm city. As a form of arrangement and design of objects located on the land, the cemetery can be conceptualized as a landscape. Its distinct function, serving as a memorial space for the living and a final resting place for the deceased, adds layers of complexity. As such, the cemetery becomes a shared space for both the living a
Studiens syfte var att belysa hur psykoterapeuter förhåller sig till och påverkas av döden som ämne i psykoterapi med cancerpatienter. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med sex legitimerade psykoterapeuter med erfarenhet av att arbeta med patienter som diagnosticerats med cancer. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), vilket resulterade i fyra hu
I den här masteruppsatsen jämförs två svenska översättningar av Miguel de Cervantes roman Don Quijote de la Mancha: Ingrid Bergquists översättning från 1954 och Jens Nordenhöks översättning från 2001. Uppsatsen behandlar översättningen av Sancho Panzas språkliga förvrängningar, vilka ger upphov till språk- och ordlekar. Syftet är att jämföra de två översättningarna med avseende på vilka strategier
Abstract The glycosaminoglycan dermatan sulfate plays a crucial role in the process of tumorigenesis, due to increased flexibility in the polysaccharide chain, when glucuronic acid, in the glycan chondroitin sulfate, epimerizes into iduronic acid. The conversion facilitates a change in the interaction with certain proteins such as growth factors, angiogenic factors, and cytokines. The enzyme invol
There is no consensus on how to define and measure green growth. Consequently, we can neither state if growth is actually green nor econometrically explore important questions such as what determines green growth. This thesis takes a three-step approach to move one step closer to a unifying longitudinal cross-country measure of green growth. It analyzes how green growth has been quantitatively mea
