This thesis looks at the asylum policy of Turkey, on its path to EU accession. This thesis accepts the hypothesis that a rigid nation state practice is a hindrance to the development of human rights and examines this issue in the context of Turkey. The research question of this thesis asks; is there a possibility to gain decent life conditions for refugees in Turkey? Is the EU membership/accession

BACKGROUND: This study aims to present a novel method for using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to non-invasively quantify the variation in pulmonary blood volume throughout the cardiac cycle in humans. METHODS: 10 healthy volunteers (7 males, 3 female, age range 21-32 years) were studied. The blood flow in the pulmonary artery and all pulmonary veins was quantified during free breathing u

Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs aim to alleviate short term poverty and reduce intergenerational poverty by supplying targeted poor households with cash transfers contingent upon certain program parameters, such as school attendance for children. Evaluation on CCTs have found that such programs generally increase school enrolment and school attendance but its subsequent effect on labor ma

Självkonkordansmodellen (The Self-Concordance Model) postulerar att autonom målsättning är en primär drivkraft för välbefinnande. Standardiserade mätmetoder sammanblandar dock ofta närvaron av autonomi med frånvaron av yttre press genom användandet av 'relativa' differenspoäng. Denna studie använde ett aggregerat dataset (N = 429) för att systematiskt pröva två konkurrerande modeller: en BThe Self-Concordance Model posits that autonomous goal pursuit is a primary driver of well-being, yet standard measurement practices often conflate the presence of autonomy with the absence of external pressure via 'relative' difference scores. This study utilized a high-powered dataset (N = 429) to systematically test between a Balance Model (where meaning arises from the net difference b

Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with APC mutations do not benefit from 5-FU therapy. It was reported that APC physically interacts with POLβ and FEN1, thus blocking LP-BER via APC's DNA repair inhibitory (DRI) domain in vitro. The aim of this study was to elucidate how APC status affects BER and the response of CRC to 5-FU. HCT-116, HT-29, and LOVO cells varying in APC status were treated with 5-

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly researched and applied for medical knowledge discovery and to support or automate clinical decision-making. The aim of this thesis is to increase the knowledge on (1) how AI experts, radiologists, and standardizers make sense of AI, in the processes of medical AI development, clinical use and standardization, and (2) how this sensemaking c

The aim of this article is to explore the everyday life experiences of elderly (+70 years) living with young locals and refugees in a collaborative housing project before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden. The paper discusses the importance of the spatial dimension in the conceptualization of social integration. The main method is a qualitative case study based on observations of settings

Den snabba framväxten av generativ AI har i grunden förändrat förutsättningarna för marknadskommunikation genom att möjliggöra skapandet av hyperrealistiskt innehåll i en omfattning som tidigare inte varit möjlig. Samtidigt som tekniken erbjuder ökad effektivitet, väcker den kritiska frågor om företagens autenticitet och konsumenters tillit. Syftet med studien är att undersöka om företags autentic

The ubiquitous deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies affects an array of human rights, raising concerns around issues of discrimination, privacy, freedom of expression, information and data protection. However, just as regulators and policy-makers call for technological design to respect existing human rights, others debate whether human rights are robust enough to counter new ch

Innovation bedriver forskning om innovationer av såväl teknisk som social karaktär. Syftet är att stärka innovationsförmågan hos individer, grupper och organisationer genom hela innovationsprocessen från idé till kommersialisering och tillämpning. Några exempel är regionala och nationella innovationssystem, offentlig policy, affärsmodeller, teknologi, metoder och verktyg som är centrala i innovati

AI, alltså artificiell intelligens, är en snabbt växande del av vårt samhälle, och påverkar redan allt från vardagliga tjänster till samhällskritiska funktioner. Samtidigt har utvecklingen väckt både möjligheter och farhågor. En av farhågorna gäller ökad diskriminering, och det är just det denna uppsats ämnar avhandla. I uppsatsen undersöks riskerna för diskriminering relaterade till AI i ett juri

The pornography legislation in Indonesia does not only present criteria for limiting pornographic images and motion pictures, it also prohibits movements and sounds considered to contain pornographic content. The purpose of this study is to shed light upon six Indonesian women in prostitution’s reflections on what the term ‘pornography’ means to them, the pornography legislation and the normative

Having spent so many of my free hours immersed in the worlds of translated fiction, I set out to create a research project designed to better understand the entanglements of the imagination behind this art. This thesis aims to explore how literary translators construct their identity and how multiple forces create instability in the professional self. It continues to dissect how these identities b
