In the early 1980s, during the darkest years of Pinochet’s dictatorship, an apparently innocuous but radical decision was made: to implement an old-age pension system based on individual accounts mandatorily administered by private for-profit entities called ‘pension fund administrators’ (‘AFPs’, by its acronym in Castilian), in which the workers’ social security regarding old-age pensions was in
Det finns ett ökat behov av att mäta både människor och förändringsprocesser. Icke- statliga organisationer (NGO:er), stater och forskningen behöver hitta metoder och verktyg för att säkerställa att traktat, program och strategier som är ämnade att minska fattigdom och öka jämställdhet fungerar. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur Oxfam och ActionAid mäter social förändring inom kvinnors rThe need to measure and track both people and processes involved in change is increasing. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs), states, and research need to find tools to ensure that the treaties, programmes, and strategies meant to reduce poverty and increase equality are working. This thesis aims to study how Oxfam and ActionAid measure social change in women’s rights. Regarding women’s rights,
Background: MicroRNA-379 (miR-379) has been reported to play a tumour-suppressing role in several cancer types. Our previous work demonstrated that miR-379 overexpression attenuates the metastatic spread of prostate cancer (PCa) both in vitro and in vivo. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Methods: To elucidate the mechanisms by which miR-379 affects metastases, we pe

Integrating immigrants into the labor market is a challenge for the city of Malmö, impacting its performance to achieve Sustainable Development Goals related to Decent Jobs and Reduced Inequalities. This thesis explores the role of 3 social innovations in addressing this challenge, guided by the Multi-Level Perspective. The research explores unique approaches these enterprises apply to create empl
Background: The Company sells many of its products through external sales channels. Two important goals for the Company are to increase the sales of components and decrease the cost of sales by making the ordering processes more effective. The Company is today vending a limited number of components and products through e-commerce to the sales channels. One of these products, in this report referre

The Paleogene history of biogenic opal accumulation in the North Atlantic provides insight into both the evolution of deepwater circulation in the Atlantic basin and weathering responses to major climate shifts. However, existing records are compromised by low temporal resolution and/or stratigraphic discontinuities. In order to address this problem, we present a multi-site, high-resolution record
BACKGROUND: Pathways for intravenously administered gadolinium-based-contrast-agents (GBCAs) entering cerebrospinal-fluid (CSF) circulation in the human brain are not well-understood. The blood-CSF-barrier (BCSFB) in choroid-plexus (CP) has long been hypothesized to be a main entry-point for intravenous-GBCAs into CSF. Most existing studies on this topic were performed in animals and human patient
When the rural Aymara migrate to El Alto they experience a cultural alienation as their culture and identity is contested by the global influences and western values of the city. The migrants have to reconstruct their identity in a process of identity-formation, which can be located on a range between the opposing tendencies of assimilation and revalorization. Revalorization or to revalue, is to a
The endogenous chemokines CCL19 and CCL21 signal via their common receptor CCR7. CCL21 is the main lymph node homing chemokine, but a weak chemo-attractant compared to CCL19. Here we show that the 41-amino acid positively charged peptide, released through C-terminal cleavage of CCL21, C21TP, boosts the immune cell recruiting activity of CCL21 by up to 25-fold and the signaling activity via CCR7 by
There is uncertainty about whether AI-generated output can and should be protected under EU copyright law and, in that case, who should obtain the rights. This thesis examines this legal issue by interpreting the legal text especially the InfoSoc Directive, case law and by considering legal scholarships. It has been established in the thesis that an AI-generated output can be considered protectabl
The heat requirement of a building can turn out to be greater than was calculated at the design stage. The reason for this may be that heat transport though the building envelope is greater than expected. This in turn can be due to the structure not fulfilling the design requirements in respect of windtightness and airtightness. In addition, there may be defects in the quality of the workmanship o
