This paper takes a critical look at current methodologies used by business for assessing impacts on indigenous communities dependent upon natural resources for the maintenance of their traditional way of life. It argues that new human-centered, holistic and bottom-up approaches can contribute to a greater understanding of direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of resource development on indigenou
Abstract This essay aims to bring greater focus on consumer privacy aspects involved in the practise of customer relationship marketing in the retail industry of today. As students in Service Management at Lunds University on Campus Helsingborg we are experiencing that the literature that constitutes the very cornerstones of our education does not deal with the matter of consumer privacy in a suff

Popular Abstract in English The current interest in improving the nutritional benefits of food products and the need to recover undeveloped crops prompted us to study two plant roots: parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) and yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius). Parsnip is a root native to Europe and Asia, and is often used for culinary purposes and to feed livestock. Parsnip was a popular vegetable in the MiddThe physicochemical properties of two root suspensions, parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) and yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius), were studied and compared at different concentrations and after being subjected to processes such as homogenization and heating. The study and the evaluation of the physicochemical properties of these plant materials in the form of pastes might help to increase the interest in t
“Abuse – That’s not really a factor in my world”: A qualitative study about how abuse is defined and constructed within geriatric care Nursing homes have increasingly come under attack in recent years for scandals involving the abuse of elderly care-takers within their organisations. The purpose of this study was to determine how abuse can be defined by the staff within geriatric care in nursing
Syftet med denna uppsats är att visa hur staden Lagos har vuxit i storlek och ökat i befolkning mellan åren 1990-2008. Jämförelser över staden för åren 1990, 1999 och 2008 har gjorts så att huvudragen i stadens tillväxt har kunnat visas och analyseras. Baserat på hur staden har vuxit och förändrats under dessa år så har även tre stycken framtidsmodeller för hur Lagos kan tänkas se ut år 2020 produThe aim of this thesis is to show how the city of Lagos has grown in size and population between the years 1990-2008. Comparisons over the city for the years 1990, 1999 and 2008 have been made so that the main characteristics of the city’s growth can be shown and analyzed. Based on this expansion future prospects for the city has been provided through producing three different scenarios on how Lag
This article discusses a prototype that explores the simultaneous manipulation of three-dimensional digital forms and sound. Our multi-media study examines the aesthetic affordances of tight parameter couplings between digital three-dimensional objects and sound objects based on notions of process and user-machine interaction. It investigates how effective cohesion between visual, spatial and soni
This doctoral thesis is concerned with agency in the work of a performer, curator, and composer, and how these agencies are socio-culturally constructed. Grounded in creative practice as primary research methodology, the project builds on feedback loops between creation, analysis, and interpretation. The aim is to better understand the conventional norms that define the roles of composer and perfo
This article studies conceptualisations of social class in Swedish education research, c. 1945–1960. The article follows knowledge produced about talent and class in state commissions and in the newly expanded social sciences, and how it in turn was interpreted and used in political debates and in the media. I show that the taxonomy of the population in social groups (Socialgrupper) was key for co
What does ‘sexual citizenship’ mean in practice for people with mobility impairments who may need professional support to engage in sexual activity? The book explores this subject through empirical investigation based on case studies conducted in four countries – Sweden, England, Australia and the Netherlands – and develops the abstract notion of ‘sexual citizenship’ to make it practically relevan
This article examines the historical genesis, nature, features and international legal status of the Institute representation at the UN, both on the territory of the member states and of the member states to the UN. An attempt was made to reveal the status and characteristics of the offices of both the UN and its specialized agencies. On the basis of the analysis, proposals were made to strengthen
The purpose of this study is to look into patronage effects of extended supply outside peak hours on regional public transport services. Previous studies have shown that the service frequency is an attribute of great importance for regional passengers, but little is known about the details regarding peak and off-peak frequencies or service hours. The present study addresses this knowledge gap, dep
This article addresses the intricate and previously untold story of a German attempt in 1944 to have an agent, the Latvian Voldemar Blankenfelds, dispatched by boat, via Sweden, to South America where a German intelligence network was being established. Shortly after his arrival in Sweden in June 1944, however, Blankenfelds got in touch with the British diplomatic mission in Stockholm, told them o
BACKGROUND: Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression on tumor cells is associated with poor prognosis in several malignancies, while partly contradictory and inconclusive results have been presented for colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to evaluate PD-L1 as a prognostic biomarker in CRC by comparing three different antibody clones.METHODS: Patients surgically treated for CRC between Ja
The term ‘artificial intelligence’ has arguably come to function in political discourse as, what Laclau called, an ‘empty signifier’. This article traces the shifting political discourse on AI within three key institutions of global governance–OHCHR, WHO, and UNESCO–and, in so doing, highlights the role of ‘crisis’ moments in justifying a series of pivotal re-articulations. Most important has been
Background:Several previous studies have analyzed patient experiences of long-acting injectable buprenorphine (LAIB) in treating opioid use disorder (OUD). This treatment approach reduces the need for daily supervised clinic visits, but also fundamentally changes the dynamic of the relationship between patients and staff. The perspective of staff working with opioid agonist treatment (OAT) on LAIB
The rapid urbanisation and global need for resources have led to an increased use of the underground, resulting in conflicting interests and an urgent need for subsurface planning. The concept of geosystem services is suggested for communicating the diverse values of the subsurface, and to support subsurface planning for ensuring sustainable and equitable underground developments. The UNDER projec
