This thesis aims to address the limited spatial focus of existing critiques of British financial imperialism, by analysing the economic relationship between Britain and the Cape Colony,and integrating discreet sets of literature related to British imperialism and the economic history of the Cape Colony. Specifically, focus has centred on the diamond mining industry in Kimberley, which produced som

Ecoist AB utvecklar en prototyp till en trehjulig elbil för två personer. Två komponenter till fordonet har undersökts: den övre bärarmen i den främre hjulupphängningen och en bussning som sitter i denna bärarm. Målet med examensarbetet har varit att se om det finns några funktionella eller ekonomiska fördelar med att tillverka dessa genom 3D-printing. Olika sätt att framställa komponenterna har uEcoist AB is developing a three-wheeled electric car with two seats. Two components for the vehicle have been examined: the upper wishbone in the front wheel suspension and a bushing that is mounted in this wishbone. The goal of the thesis has been to examine any potential functional or economic advantages of manufacturing these using 3D-printing. Different ways of producing the components have be

Bakgrund: Samverkan mellan ambulansverksamheten och polisorganisationen är vanligt förekommande i prehospitala sammanhang. Eftersom verksamheterna följer olika lagar, direktiv och riktlinjer kan sätten att samverka skilja sig åt. Aspekter av betydelse för en väl fungerande samverkan var kommunikationsutbyte, samarbete, och korrekt informationsöverföring. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersök

Den bakomliggande orsaken till att islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) är cytotoxisk mot β-celler från bukspottkörteln tros vara prefibrillära oligomerer. Oligomererna skapas då IAPP ändrar konformation till amyloidfibriller. Förlusten av β-celler från cellklusterna har kopplats till typ II-diabetes. Ytterligare kunskap om hur man hindrar IAPP från att växla till den giftiga oligomerformen är oerhörtPrefibrillar oligomers are thought to be the “culprit” behind the cytotoxicity of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) to pancreatic islet β-cells. The oligomers are generated in the process of IAPP’s conformational change into amyloid fibrils. The depletion of islet β-cells has been connected to type II diabetes. Knowledge of how to stop IAPP from switching into the cytotoxic oligomer form is of the

This case study examines the American decision to cross the 38th parallel into North Korea in October 1950 during the Korean War. In the early stages of the war the southern and UN forces were pushed back, but with an amphibious landing at Inchon the tides changed and eventually the 38th parallel was crossed. The study employs constructivist realism to shed new light on the motivations and societa

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Ambulans- och akutsjukvård innebär ofta snabba bedömningar, beslutsfattande och utvärderingar i varierande miljöer. Bästa möjliga omhändertagande av patienten kräver en fungerande kommunikation, annars föreligger risk för missförstånd, minskad patientsäkerhet, vårdskador och ökat lidande. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva vilka strategier vårdpersonal använder sig av då det förek

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Pågående dödligt våld (PDV) innefattar både terrorhändelser och brott med uppsåt där ett mer eller mindre urskillningslöst, livsfarligt våld riktas mot flera personer och pågår tills det avbryts. Ambulanssjuksköterskan ska arbeta strukturerat och med god omvårdnad även under uppdrag som ger högt stresspåslag på grund av en hotfull eller våldsam situation. Tankar kring säkerhet,

Detektion av tumörceller i blod med hjälp av bildanalys Cirkulerande tumörceller är celler som har lämnat sin ursprungliga primärtumör och tagit sig till blodet. Dessa celler kan sedan ta sig vidare till andra delar av kroppen där de kan ge upphov till dottertumörer. Cirkulerande tumörceller är mycket viktiga att studera eftersom dottertumörer är den ledande orsaken till dödsfall i cancer. TyväCirculating tumour cells (CTCs) are cancer cells that have entered the circulation of the body breaking free from their primary tumour and that can act as progenitors of metastasis. At the time of writing, a study on a novel method to detect and count CTCs using imaging flow cytometry (IFC) is being conducted at Lund University. In the study, a problem was found where CTCs clustered with normal wh

I denna enfallsstudie undersöker vi händelseförloppet då Karlshamn gick emot svenska statens direktiv och upplät sin hamn för Nord Stream 2. För att förklara den lilla stadens agerande utifrån ett globalt perspektiv har vi använt oss av teorier om den globala staden. Vi har utvecklat ett analysramverk där vi med hjälp av uppställda kriterier undersökt hur konceptet relaterar till händelseförloppet

Machine learning techniques have gained ground in macroeconomic forecasting in recent years. Estimations with the elastic net technique have yielded good results. There is currently not much research on how statistical techniques can be used to estimate the financial result in Swedish municipalities. This study adds to the current body of research by investigating how the elastic net technique can

I uppsatsen utreds vilka praktiska problem otillbörlig webbskrapning ger upphov till i förhållande till upphovsrättighetsinnehavarens juridiska möjligheter att beivra sådant intrång. Uppsatsen syftar därtill att undersöka huruvida rättighetsinnehavare till upphovsrättsligt skyddade verk på internet innehar ett adekvat rättsskydd mot olaglig webbskrapning. Med hänsyn till syftet med uppsatsen genomThis thesis investigates the practical problems that illegal web scraping gives rise to in relation to the copyright holder's legal possibilities to prosecute such infringement. The thesis also aims to investigate whether rights holders of copyrighted works on the Internet have adequate legal protection against illegal web scraping. With respect to the purpose of the thesis, the investigation

I kapitel 24 av inkomstskattelagen återfinns regler som benämns ”de riktade ränteavdragsreglerna”. Dessa regler innebär inskränkningar i bolags möjligheter att göra skattemässiga avdrag för ränta som de betalat till andra bolag i samma intressegemenskap. Ifall svenska bolag kan ta lån från utländska lågbeskattade bolag inom samma intressegemenskap, för att därefter göra avdrag för räntan som dessaIn chapter 24 of the Swedish statute of income taxation there are rules that, translated into english, would be called ”the aimed interest deduction rules”. These rules infringe on the possibilities of companies to deduct interests of loans that said companies have taken from other companies - within the same corporate group of companies. If Swedish companies secure loans from foreign low taxed co

In this thesis, it is investigated whether Per Albin Hansson and Jimmie Åkesson's concepts of “Folkhemmet” (Peoples Home) are comparable. This is done with a method that combines idea analysis and concept analysis. In concrete terms, this analysis is done in two ways. First with the help of specific analysis tools, which when applied to the selected material highlight interesting aspects. Then

The aim of this project is to highlight the structural continuity of contemporary mass media, despite the various changes, both technological and in relation to the agents of mass media, that occurred in the last two decades, following the advent of online journalism. The approach that will be pursued is a structural one, not content analysis. To prove the structural continuity, I am relying on sy

The aim of this research is to understand and unpack the phenomenon of brand ambassadorship by examining the sensemaking and actualization as well as the consequences of it. The study adopts an employee-perspective on brand ambassadorship to scrutinize the phenomenon in terms of what is here referred to as ’situational’ brand ambassadorship. The employee-perspective has been often neglected in pre

The inclusion of a superdisintegrant in an ODT-formulation is necessary to ensure that its disintegration behaviour is on point. However, given the wide array of circumstances that might influence this conduct, it is still very difficult to predict the complete disintegration behaviour of an ODT-formulation. Examples of such circumstances are excipient and API-interaction. In order to reduce these

This study analyses the processes of constructing masculinity and fatherhood among a sample of stay-at-home fathers in Turkey. Firstly, social construction of reality theory was used to describe the construction process of the fathers’ identities. Then, hegemonic masculinity and performativity theories were applied in order to analyse the masculinity practices and performances. How the Turkish sta

The aim of this study is to map and investigate the embodied experiences of LGBTQIA people in work-related spaces. The study analyses stories of emotions and experiences based on gender, sexual orientation, and other social categories and how these intersect with normative workspaces. As such, I use spatial terms of norms to approach the questions of which bodies can move and inhabit what spaces w

This research paper is a mixed-methods single case study that contributes to filling a gap within the literature surrounding the implementation of the National Village Development Program (PNDS-Programa Nasional Dezenvolvimentu Suku) in the village of Fahilebo, Timor-Leste. The research goals were to first identify the major differences between PNDS’ effects and Community-Driven-Development theory

This thesis analyzes how the German news media depicted the terrorist attack in Hanau, which killed 10 people on 19th February 2020. This is done by conducting a thematic analysis in two major German newspapers, Süddeutsche Zeitung and Frankfurter Allgemeine. The coverage of the attack and the perpetrator is found to be focused on the perpetrator as an individual and centering his alleged mental i
