During the last years, virtual 3D city models have been widely used in application fields such as urban planning, environment simulations, and disaster management. With the development of high-rise buildings and the increasing densely built-up areas, an increasing number of authorities and companies have shown interest in integrating 3D city models with the cadastre. This is because on one hand, t

Chile has been benefited from a commodity boom in the copper industry during the first decade of the 21st century. Does a mineral boom increase local labour opportunities? Can women get benefit from a resource boom? Can the mineral boom have indirect effects in non-mining sectors? The present paper attempts to explore and measure the impact of an exogenous increase in copper global prices between

En renare miljö eller påminnelse att fimpar också är skräp minskar mängden fimpar som slängs på marken. Nedskräpning är ett stort och allvarligt problem både på ett miljömässigt och på ett samhällsmässigt plan. Plast är enligt genomförda skräpmätningar den överlägset vanligaste skräpkategorin i våra parker, städer och på våra stränder. Cigarettfimpen toppar listan inom kategorin – runt 1 miljard Various research and initiatives are being done to decrease the amount of litter in our environment. The most common type of litter found in our parks, cities and on our beaches is plastic, where cigarette butts are one of the most common subcategories. To be able to take effective measures against such a hazardous problem as this, one must look to the source of it – in this case human littering b

In this thesis the prospect of using cereal oil as a natural emulsifier after enzymatic treatment was investigated. A lipase was used in both free and immobilized form. Hydrolysis reactions were carried out using two different oil in water (O/W) emulsions. Microscopy of emulsion formation was visualized, and droplet size was obtained using a particle size distribution analyzer (PSD). Lipid extract

The evolution of inequality in Latin America, particularly in Mexico, is a topic of growing interest among economists, economic historians and policy makers. For the Mexican case, this study empirically estimates, for the first time, the evolution of Mexican inequality before 1950. This thesis produces a new database and employs it to construct social tables for four benchmark years, 1895,1910,193

This thesis aims to investigate the relationship between the level sustainability and the level of risk for mutual equity funds. As the demand for more sustainable investment options increases, mutual funds have become more aware about positioning themselves as sustainable.

Vi står kanske inför en av vår tids största samhällsutmaningar då forskare menar att vi är på väg att möta den sjätte massutrotningen. Kontinuerligt rapporteras det om hur djurbestånd dör ut och om diverse klimatkatastrofer vilket till stor del beror på mänsklig aktivitet. Skolan är en av samhällets främsta institutioner som socialiserar barn och unga och spelar en viktig roll i en eventuell framt

Title: Adaptation of shipment consolidation and distribution network design to omni-channel retailing Authors: Johan Deniz, Martin Månsson Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Problem description: Global retailers tend to have complex distribution networks. A part of the complexity stems from trade-offs in deciding

In this study I analysed reduplicative ablaut ideophones in English for their morphosyntactical properties, as ideophones in other languages have been found to have several marked characteristics in this respect. Informed by the typology of ideophones in other languages, my research questions were whether the reduplicatives would appear integrated into or outside of sentences, if they would fill f

Colombia has suffered from an internal armed conflict with different armed groups for more than five decades. This conflict has resulted in more than eight million victims of whom the majority have had to leave their home and become internally displaced persons (IDPs). Currently, Colombia is the country with the most IDPs in the world. On 24th of November 2016, a Peace Agreement was signed between

A theoretical study is reported of metallic hydrogen in the molecular phase of Cmca-4 and the atomic phase of I4_1/amd at high pressure about 500 GPa. Using density functional theory (DFT) and more specifically the PBE exchange correlation functional as approximation scheme, the crystal structure of metallic hydrogen has been investigated. This to determine its metallic properties and see if the c

Maf transcription factors have pivotal roles in regulating beta cell function and development, and loss of MafA expression has been associated in inducing pro-inflammatory gene signature. This study assessed if the loss of MafA transcription factor expression contributes to the development of islet inflammation. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that 8 months old MafA deficient pancreata (MafA-/

Kan cellers proteiner bota HPV- sjukdomar? Livmoderhalscancer är en av de vanligaste cancersjukdomarna som drabbar kvinnor världen över. Varje år, diagnostiseras ungefär 500 000 kvinnor och 270 000 dör i sjukdomen, varav de flesta dödsfallen sker i utvecklingsländer. Livmoderhalscancer orsakas av det vanligt förekommande viruset humant papillomvirus (HPV) och för att hitta bättre behandling mot sHuman papillomaviruses (HPVs) are small DNA viruses that have evolved over millions of years and are well-adapted to humans. Persistent infections with HPVs, can result in cancer development. There are over 200 different HPV types that can be divided into high- and low risk types based on their ability to cause cancer. HPV16 is the most common high- risk type that accounts for more than 50 % of al

In recent years, overall survival was significantly prolonged in Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) patients due to improved treatment regimen. However, there is still a subgroup of patients that relapse after a short time. Better understanding of the underlying genetic and non-genetic events can be used to achieve personalized medicine for each patient. MCL is associated with the translocation t(11;14)(q

Neurala progenitorceller kan rädda din mentala hälsa Ett utsträckt mänskliga genom hade varit nästan 2 meter långt och kräver därför sofistikerade packningsmetoder för att få plats i en organisms alla celler. Ett viktigt protein för detta ändamål är Heterokromatin Protein 1 (HP1) som paketerar genomet till en struktur som kallas Heterokromatin. Denna kompakta form av genomet är inte bara ett sät

Market concept such as sustainability, CSR and sustainable food have influenced the way in which actors on the marketplace behave. Furthermore, previous research have shown that while some market concepts and logics succeed in becoming established among market actors other do not. This in turn has significant consequences on how the market is structured and the behavior of different actors within

Drawing on Nye’s concept of soft power, this thesis discusses the strategic adoption of a rhetoric of Ecological Modernization as a discursive tool of public diplomacy. It makes use of the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games as a case study. Indeed, the increased perceived value of sport mega-events in promoting soft power suggests a political instrumentality in hosting such events. This thesis empl
