Icke-statliga organisationer är inflytelserika aktörer i världspolitiken och utvecklingsarbeten. Under det senaste decenniet har allt fler icke-statliga organisationer, internationella och nationella, rapporterat om kränkningar av de mänskliga rättigheterna för HBTQIAP+ personer och de utmaningar som de möter i deras liv. Hur de rapporterar om dessa frågor är viktiga eftersom språk och diskurs harNGOs are influential actors in world politics and development efforts. During the last decade increasing numbers of NGOs, international and national, have been reporting on the violations of the human rights of LGBTQIAP+ persons and the challenges these people face in their lives. How they report on these issues matters since language and discourse have an influence over whose voices are heard and

Development of valuable products from downstream process residual biomasses and profound reduction of waste are two key components for developing a more sustainable process industry. The importance of bio-renewable feedstocks and bio-based processing techniques are also crucial in the transformation to a more sustainable and green society. Therefore focus is directed on full exploitation of seawee

Barn som upplever våld i hemmet har innan 2021 inte haft ett straffrättsligt skydd i svensk lag. Det finns studier som visar att var tionde barn i Sverige någon gång har upplevt våld mellan närstående. Situationen där vuxna utövar våld i vad som ska vara barnets tryggaste zon, kan ge förödande konsekvenser, både fysiskt som psykiskt. Den 14 juni 2018 beslutade regeringen att tillsätta en särskildBefore 2021, children who experience violence in their homes have not had criminal protection in Swedish law. There are studies that show that every tenth child in Sweden has ever experienced violence between relatives. The situation where adults use violence, in what should be the child's safest zone, can have devastating consequences, both physically and mentally. On 14 June 2018, the govern

Transporten i och genom de biologiska membranerna är väldigt viktig och har många applikationer i mat- och läkemedel industrier. Dessa membranerna består av dubbel-lager av lipid molekyler. Genom att blanda två olika sorter av lipiderna diglycerolmonooleate (DGMO) och glycerol monooleate (GMO-50) med nano-partikelstabilisatorpolysorbate 80 (P80) i överskott av vatten skapar det en lipidblandning mTransport in and through biological membranes that consist of lipid bilayers has a crucial role in many applications in the food or pharmaceutical industries. How to deliver an enzyme through the membranes without damaging the enzymatic activity or the "shelf-life" of the enzyme has been of large interest since 1970 [29-30]. In this work, we have shown that a thin lipid sponge phase (L3)

Som de flesta av oss vet så kretsar planeter i elliptiska banor runt stjärnor. Vissa planeter som ligger väldigt nära de stjärnor som de kretsar får uppleva visa effekter som inte märkbart påverkar de planeterna i omloppsbana längre bort. Dessa effekter uppkommer ur så kallade tidvattenskrafter som härstammar från det faktum att gravitationskrafter beror väldigt mycket på avstånd mellan objekt. DePlanets that orbit their host star closely experience tidal forces due to the strength of gravity not being uniform all over the planet. This leads to effects such as tidal spin synchronization, tidal eccentricity damping and tidal semi-major axis damping. This project aims to study how the time scales for these phenomena are affected by the planetary parameters such as mass, radius and the tidal

In the field of molecular biology, the cloning of DNA is a vital process. Through cloning, researchers can design new DNA strands which can be used for a number of applications. One of these applications is the creation of synthetic antibodies for cancer treatments. Alligator Bioscience is developing a high-throughput chain to significantly speed up the process. Traditional cloning techniques rely

I detta projekt har jag fokuserat på färg och färgens roll för arkitekturen. Jag har försökt undersöka ämnet brett och skapa mig en bild av vad färg har för betydelse för arkitektur och hur färgen påverkar ett arkitektoniskt uttryck. Kan jag, bara med hjälp av färgsättning, påverka den upplevda karaktären av en byggnad och dess omgivning? Projektet har blivit en undersökning av vår upplevelse av fThis project focuses on studies of colour and the role of colour in architecture. I’ve tried to look at the subject from different perspectives to form myself a picture of what colour means for architecture. I asked myself how colours affect the architectural expression. Can I, by only working with colours, influence the character of a building and its specific environment? This project has become

The COP21 Paris Agreement is considered a milestone on the way to limiting global warming to 1.5°C. For the first time in history, a climate convention is signed by all 198 members of the UNFCCC, with each signatory state being responsible for developing their own climate strategy that considers the national circumstances. Given Canada’s colonial history, the Canadian government has a special res

IKEA is a Swedish company that has been the largest retailer of furniture for the past fifteen years. Selling orders worth EUR 44.6 billion in 2022, IKEA has to meet great logistic needs in order to maintain a functioning business. In the current IKEA landscape teams that consume order data have to listen to multiple sources and compare the data they receive to get specific information from an ord

The NEO model, developed by Lindström (2019) for paperboard, is a non-linear material model that utilizes empirically based constitutive relations with switches to mimic elastic-plastic responses. Due to the explicit definition of the constitutive relations, the NEO model does not require a constitutive equilibrium loop. This, in addition to modeling flexibility from the switches, poses the NEO mo

Professional counselors are often seen as responsible for highlighting the need of, and to operate the social work in healthcare. To have that expertise in an otherwise medical context can lead to it being a difficult task. It is also suggested that the social worker’s role and professional identity is vague, which also influences social worker’s jurisdictional work. The aim of this study was to i

Based on the European commission, climate change has become a serious threat for all aspects of our lives, urgent action needs to be taken. All the industries need to monitor their contributions, among them the building industry has the highest emission (European Commission) This study aims to compare energy efficiency and global warming potential (GWP fossil) emission in two ventilation systems i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar är idag den vanligaste dödsorsaken i stora delar av världen för både män och kvinnor. I Sverige är hjärtinfarkt den vanligaste dödsorsaken för kvinnor över 55 år och för män över 45 år. Det vill säga kvinnor drabbas cirka 10 år senare. Tidigare forskning har baserats i huvudsak på män varvid forskning på kvinnor med hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar har Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the sleading cause of mortality in men and women in Western society. Few studies of CHD have been performed on women or with a focus on cardiac risk factors in women’s lives. Results from studies of men have been generalized to women, which may be inappropriate or even dangerous. Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to describe women’s experience of a

Customers are important stakeholders for any company; yet, they seem not to be widely discussed in merger and acquisition research. This chapter synthesizes the current body of research on customers in mergers and acquisitions through presenting a systematic literature review. The chapter is based on a systematic literature review resulting from a search in EBSCO Host for any research item that re

We report the development of a high-level bacterial expression system for the Alzheimer's disease-associated amyloid beta-peptide (A beta), together with a scaleable and inexpensive purification procedure. A beta(1-40) and A beta(1-42) coding sequences together with added ATG codons were cloned directly into a Pet vector to facilitate production of Met-A beta(1-40) and Met-A beta(1-42), referred t

The aim of the current study was to gain an overview of factors that can effect social secretaries motivation, both positively and negatively, in their work with social assistance. This study has focused on what the employee does rather than what he or she earns as a factor that leads to increased work motivation. To have motivated employees are important in every organization and above all in Hum
