Under 2014 så delade Lunds kommun ut 830 gratis cykelhjälmar. Sådana styrande kampanjer är vanliga i Sverige, ändå har ingen kampanj någonsin blivit utvärderad. Syftet med denna uppsats är tvådelad. Först, att utvärdera hur många av de 830 cyklisterna som faktiskt bär hjälmen som de blev tilldelade. Sedan, att nå insikt om varför vissa cyklister väljer att bära hjälmen och varför andra väljer att In 2014, Lund municipality in Sweden handed out 830 bicycle helmets for free. Such governance campaigns are commonplace in Sweden, yet no campaign has ever been evaluated. There are two research aims to this thesis. First, to evaluate how many of the 830 cyclists actually wear the bicycle helmets that they received. Second, to gain insight into why some cyclists choose to wear the helmet that they

Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om hur USA:s konstitution ska tolkas. Frågan har inget givet svar, tvärtom, det råder väldigt delade uppfattningar om det. Skillnaderna grundar sig inte enbart i frågan om vilket tillvägagångssätt som är bäst för att tolka konstitutionen. I grund och botten handlar frågan om vilket sorts dokument konstitutionen är. Den stora skiljelinjen går mellan de som anser att den hThis essay deals with the question of how the United States Constitution should be interpreted. That is not a question that has a clear answer. On the contrary, the question in fact has no answer, at least not one that people agree about. As we will see, the differences in opinions runs far deeper than merely being about what kind of methodology should be used to construe the various statutes with

The purpose of this thesis was to examine women’s pathways into the Indonesian national parliament. Pathways constitute of both barriers and enablers, which were identified and discussed in the case of women’s access to the Indonesian parliament. This was examined by answering the research question: “What do female MPs’ narratives tell us about pathways into the Indonesian national parliament?”, u

En huvudprincip i den svenska rättsordningen är att den förlorande parten i ett tvistemål ska ersätta den vinnande parten för dennes rättegångskostnader. Ersättningen till den vinnande parten ska i enlighet med 18 kap. 8 § rättegångsbalken (1942:740), fullt motsvara kostnaderna för processföringen, såvitt kostnaderna skäligen varit påkallade för tillvaratagande av partens rätt. Inom ramen för partAn essential rule in Swedish law is that the losing party in a litigation shall reimburse all costs incurred by the winning party. Section 8 in Chapter 18 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Proceedings (1942:740) concludes that “compensation for litigation costs shall fully cover the costs of preparation for trial […] to the extent that the costs were reasonably incurred to safeguard the party's

Gröna och förnybara energikällor har under åren sett ökad uppmärksamhet inom forskning och utveckling, där solceller har fått särskild uppmärksamhet. Solceller består av flera lager, eller komponenter, med olika funktioner och den här tesen fokuserar på material som bygger upp det aktiva lagret. Det aktiva lagret är det som absorberar solljus vilket exciterar elektroner till att bilda en elektriskThe interest in energy sources has shifted over the years toward sustainable energy, which has popularized the research in solar cells (among other energy sources). One of the key topics in solar cell research is the power conversion efficiency, and to understand how this can be improved one must understand the photo-induced dynamics of the solar cell material. In this thesis, we modeled the condu

Varje dag pågår parallellt ofantligt många kemiska reaktioner i vår kropp vars funktion är att bryta ner och bygga upp olika typer av molekyler. Ett samlingsnamn för de molekyler som både bryts ner och används som byggstenar i kroppen är metaboliter och disciplinen som fokuserar på studien av dessa metaboliter kallas för metabolomik. Metabolomik kan användas för att få en fördjupad förståelse för Instrumental analysis in metabolomics has proven to be a challenging topic due to metabolites having a wide spectrum of physiochemical properties and concentrations. The more conventional techniques in metabolomics include gas chromatography and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometric (MS) detection. In most cases these techniques provide methods that are adequate for metabolomic res

This Thesis seeks to give its reader the tools to understand the data privacy divide between the EU and the US. It explains the crucial notions, historical and jurisprudential factors and regulatory frameworks underlying and constituting it. First, it answers why regulating data privacy is paramount to our democratic societies on both sides of the Atlantic. The growing importance of the data dri

Uppsatsen behandlar konflikten mellan två inte sällan kolliderande intressen, vindkraft och rennäring. I ljuset av folkrättsliga instrument till skydd för urfolk, ska samernas rätt till mark och vatten skyddas. För samer är denna rätt en förutsättning för renskötselns bedrivande, som det samiska kulturarvet i stora delar bygger på. Rennäringen förutsätter stora markområden där renar fritt kan flytThis essay discusses the conflict between wind power and reindeer husbandry, two interests which at times collide. In light of international law and its instruments for the protection of indigenous peoples, the Samis’ rights to land and water shall be protected. The right to land is a prerequisite for the Samis to pursue their reindeer herding, which lays the foundation for the cultural heritage o

CO(2)-laser C-fibre evoked cortical potentials (LCEPs) is a potentially useful animal model for studies of pain mechanisms. A potential confounding factor when assessing analgesic effects of systemically administered drugs using LCEP is sedation. This study aims to clarify: 1) the relation between level of anaesthesia and magnitude of LCEP, 2) the effects of a sedative and an analgesic on LCEP and

The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief discussion of recent developments regarding prohibition of discrimination under the International and European human rights and Turkish legal system. Principle of equality and the right to non-discrimination is among the fundamental human rights. Discrimination is a violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms. Various forms of discrimination a

Due to a German research project on slavery in antiquity, I became aware of the fact, that within the field of slavery and manumission a lot of research still needs to be done. 1 A university course on social identity inspired me later on and made me think about different identities; ‘being a slave’ was one of them. The habit of freeing slaves was so widely spread during the late Roman Republic an

Proteins and peptides are widely used for the prevention, management, and cure of various illnesses. This vast therapeutic potential represents a significant portion of the pharmaceutical industry in the form of vaccines, antibodies, enzymes, and other protein-based therapeutics. During the drug development process, these proteins/peptides are affected by various environmental factors such as temp

Background: Plasma use has increased since studies have suggested that early treatment with blood components in trauma with severe hemorrhage may improve outcome. Plasma is also commonly used to correct coagulation disturbances in non-bleeding patients. Little is known about the effects of plasma transfusion on plasma volume. We report a prospective interventional study in which the plasma volume-

We have studied the photoinduced low spin (LS) to high spin (HS) conversion of [Fe(bipy)(3)](2+) in aqueous solution. In a laser pump/X-ray probe synchrotron setup permitting simultaneous, time-resolved X-ray diffuse scattering (XDS) and X-ray spectroscopic measurements at a 3.26 MHz repetition rate, we observed the interplay between intramolecular dynamics and the intermolecular caging solvent re

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanfattning på svenska Den svenska nationella cancerstategin från 2009 understryker patientperspektivet och fokus ligger på själva patientprocessen. Modern bröstcancerbehandling omfattar en mer individualiserad behandling med bröstbevarande kirurgi, diagnostik av portvaktskörteln, ett ökat användande av medicinsk terapi med cellgift, antihormon samt antikroppar i såAbstract Background. The Swedish national cancer strategy programme published in 2009 emphasises the patient perspective and focuses on the patient process. Over the years the different modalities in breast cancer treatment are changing position, making accurate diagnosis and quality assurance in breast pathology even more important than before. Aims. The aim of paper I was to examine overall su

Saudi Arabia ratified the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in 2000. The ratification was a step forward for the strict gender segregated country but could not be genuinely hailed due to a general reservation giving prevalence to Islamic Law in case of conflict with the provision of the Convention. Whereas it can be established that a sweeping reser

Objectives: Analysis of fetal arterial and venous Doppler predictability for adverse perinatal outcome. Methods: Blood flow in the uterine, umbilical and middle cerbral arteries, umbilical vein, ductus venosus and Galen vein were examined with in 72 h of delivery in 88 high-risk pregnancies. The managing clinicians were only informed about the results of the umbilical artery Doppler. The Doppler r

Lynch syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant syndrome that predisposes individuals to development of cancers early in life. These cancers are mainly the following: colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, small intestine, stomach and urinary tract cancers. LS is caused by germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes (MMR), mostly MLH1 and MSH2, which are responsible for more than 85% of known germline
