This research intends to explore the mental health of female Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. Specifically, it analyzes reasons for mental disorders and how Rohingya women cope, from the perspectives of humanitarian aid workers. Mental disorders are defined from a universalist perspective and the analysis is guided by theoretical frameworks of Tay et. al (2018) and Kleinman (1978). The research de
The politicization of scientific facts, such as climate change, is a highly debated phenomenon in the US. It is well established that climate change is both real, and human-caused. Still, significant parts of the American political community refuse to adhere to this scientific fact. During the Trump administration this resulted in the American Environmental Protection Agency becoming the focal poi
The continued increase of greenhouse gas emissions and the growing danger this poses has led to the emergence of several strategies to guide society away from further environmental degradation. Green growth is the pertinent global strategy, it calls for continued growth with the hopes to advance toward technocratic solutions. Conversely, the degrowth movement has emerged as a counter-hegemonic cri
In 1994 Rwanda experienced a genocide that took an estimated 800.000 lives in the course of 100 days. This essay takes the form of a case study that examines Rwanda’s transitional justice process that followed and its abilities to create a gender-just peace. The study is based on a theoretical framework that links a feminist reading of transitional justice and gender-just peace together with gende
This thesis analyses the deferred payment method of Art. 5 para. 2 ATAD. It asks whether or not it is proportionate to mitigate liquidity disadvantages stemming from exit taxes. Such disadvantages are a general pattern of the Court of Justices case law on exit taxation. The analysis is therefore based on that respective case law. The thesis examines the roots of the deferred payment method, elabor
The topic of human migration and displacement has become more important in recent years and will continue to do so in the following decades. Voices become louder claiming that climate change is a driving factor for increased displacement and migration. Increasing unsuitable living conditions due to unpredictable weather patterns and increased number of extreme events are putting pressure on the so
ABSTRACT This thesis explores the chances of learning from an educational model from Colombia, Escuela Nueva Learning Circles, to overcome issues with refugee integration in primary schools in Austria. It set out to understand the current challenges in Austria and a possible utilization of a pedagogical model of the Global South for empowering refugee children in a Global North context. The empir
This study is focused on the relationship between treaty interpretation methods and the protection granted to the plaintiffs by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in its judgment of Gonzales Lluy et al. v. Ecuador. Based on a case law analysis of the Courts jurisprudence, this study explores judicial interpretation and the possible consequences of this landmark judgment in the protection of
Derivative models often come in the form of stochastic differential equations. From these equations a partial differential equation (PDE) can be derived. By discretizing the PDE the numerical solution is obtained on a form where the value of the derivative can be seen as a probabilistic weighting of future values. These probabilities can be used to simulate trajectories of the under- lying assets.
Inhalation of engineered nanoparticles that are handled as powders or sprays in consumer products poses a potential health risk. To investigate the effects of nanoparticles on human health, the Nano Aerosol Chamber for In-Vitro Toxicity (NACIVT) system has been designed for controlled deposition of aerosol particles onto cell cultures. The objective of this study was to estimate the deposited dose
This thesis investigates the resilience of labour migration from Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan to Russia in the aftermath of the 2014-2015 rouble crisis, despite a significant deterioration in economic incentives. In addition to addressing this empirical puzzle, the study is motivated by the need for deeper theorization of migration persistence, employing an adapted version of Hein de Haa
Despite the significant advances in cancer genomics, identifying all cancer drivers (CDs) remains a challenge. Most of the existing approaches rely heavily on mutational data, while emerging research has started to put focus on epigenetic regulation in cancer development. This is why the OriGENE model —a convolutional neural network (CNN) was developed to classify CDs based on H3K4me3 histone modi
This thesis examines how coaching shapes the learning experience in incubator programs, drawing on the perspectives of both coaches and early-stage entrepreneurs. While coaching is often positioned as a core learning intervention within incubators, its actual role in entrepreneurial learning remains insufficiently understood. Based on eleven semi-structured interviews with participants from incuba
Purpose: As greenwashing becomes an increasingly prevalent concern in the sustainability industry, the pressure of organizations to be perceived as credible is rising. One strategic approach to enhance perceived credibility is through collaboration with a non-governmental organization (NGO). This study aims to examine the impact of NGO–For-Profit co-branding on the brand attitude of both the for-
In Vietnam, household food waste is increasing due to changing consumption patterns and urbanization. While technological innovations in food packaging, such as intelligent packaging, have the potential to reduce food waste, their success depends on consumer acceptance. This study explores Vietnamese consumers' perceptions of intelligent packaging as a tool for food waste prevention and factor
20-25% of semi-natural habitat per square-kilometre is required for the provision of local Nature’s Contributions to People. Farmers are key actors in reversing the severe habitat deficits in agricultural regions. Conceptually anchored in the Safe and Just Earth System Boundary Framework and the Tripartite Framework for Mitigation Pathways, this thesis combines a systematic literature review on ho
A search for a light charged Higgs boson produced in decays of the top quark, t→H±b with H±→cs, is presented. This search targets the production of top-quark pairs tt¯→WbH±b, with W→ℓν (ℓ=e,μ), resulting in a lepton-plus-jets final state characterised by an isolated electron or muon and at least four jets. The search exploits b-quark and c-quark identification techniques as well as multivariate me
BackgroundAmbulance clinicians increasingly refer patients to self-care, positioning ambulance service within a wider gatekeeping role and necessitating the assessment of whether self-care is a safe option or if further support is needed. Contrary to primary healthcare centre (PHC) referrals, self-care referrals often lack structured follow-ups, with the decision consequences remaining underexplor
