The purpose of the contemporary lay judge system is to represent society in court and provide insight as well as influence over the nation’s legal process, while still adhering to the legal guidelines of professional judges. However, against the backdrop of globalization of societies and the resulting political polarization, the question is whether the current lay judge system provides an adequate
This bachelor's thesis is a qualitative investigation regarding technologies for generating code, how these are used within large software development companies, as well as who introduces these technologies and how they affect developers' tasks. The investigation consists of four partially structured interviews based on the TAM3 model. These interviews have been thematically analyzed to ac
Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in the exchange of heat and water between the surface and atmosphere, impacting water and energy cycles and the climate. Satellite remote sensing offers a global-scale estimation of SM; however, the coarse resolutions of satellite SM products, typically ranging from 25-50 km, are unsuitable for regional analysis. To overcome this limitation, various spati
This thesis investigates: 1) how the Hanfu is presented in videos on social media by young Chinese women and how the netizens respond to it, and 2) in what way the Hanfu Movement might be contributing to the legitimization of the Chinese government’s nationalism in Post-2013. Post-2013 China uses ancient Chinese culture to strengthen the country through national unity and the removal of Westerniza
Since the 1970s, neoliberal policies worldwide have been affecting the organization of care in welfare regimes and the working conditions of care workers. Although it takes different forms in different welfare regimes, studies show that it is a global phenomenon in which care workers endure poor working conditions such as low wages, heavy workload, and sexual harassment. Using the Social Reproduct
Argentina is a pioneer in practicing export-oriented extractivism as a model of socio-economic development. A prevalent extractive project is genetically modified (GM) soy, which was adopted under neoliberal governance in the 1990s and has had a variety of socio-environmental consequences in the country. During the progressive, Peronist, ‘post-neoliberal’ Kirchner administrations (2003-2015), gove
This study assesses the Vård- och omsorgscollege (VOC) program in Sweden, which integrates the skill demands of local healthcare employers with local vocational education. Utilizing a staggered Difference-in-Difference approach, this study reveals that the program has significantly reduced youth unemployment and enhanced the labor supply of assistant nurses, with a pronounced impact on female part
Inhalation as a method for drug delivery has been employed for more than 2000 years and serves many advantages for diseases in the respiratory tract, like cystic fibrosis and asthma. When administrating the drug directly to the respiratory tract it results in rapid effects and elimination of systemic side effects due to more targeted delivery. Dry powder inhalers (DPI) typically consist of the act
A lot of time and care have been put into exploring and explaining the power relations between nurses and nursing assistants, the emotional investment appropriate in care work, different views on leisure time for staff in this context (Warming, 2019; Habel, 2021; Jervis, 2002; Crocker, 2019). Less work has been done in exploring the complex relationships care workers have with their patients and h
The financial crisis of 2007 and the subsequent global recession have caused stakeholders, governments and the public to criticise the amorality of the financial sector. For banks, being in the center of critique, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is argued as a promising concept to regain legitimacy. Despite broad engagements highlighting responsibility, distrust towards banks still remains h
It is increasingly agreed upon by both scholars and policymakers that policies have different gendered effects. Agricultural input subsidies are highly debated policies in Africa. They were popular in the 1960s and 1970s, removed under the SAPs and liberalisation schemes in the 1980s and 1990s, and have been making a comeback since the turn of the century. This study aims to analyse to what extent
Worldwide, Indigenous peoples have played a critical role in preserving ecosystems and biodiversity. Historically oppressed by colonial institutions, they are today confronted with detrimental effects of the global food system and increasingly pronounced changes in climate that jeopardise their ability to produce food. In reaction to globalisation, food sovereignty advocates the right of peoples t
The otter (Lutra lutra) is a cryptic, semi-aquatic mustelid, with several uncertainties regarding its ecology and reproductive success in Sweden. To ensure future conservation, distribution and population estimates are needed and the ecological knowledge gaps must be filled in. This study aimed to examine three ecological factors possibly related to the occurrence and distribution of the Scanian o
The increasing dominance of tech giants and the emergence of new digital markets have increased the relevance of Article 102 TFEU, yet the article’s enforcement mechanisms have not kept pace with the market’s rapid developments. In August of 2024, the European Commission responded to this need for more efficient enforcement by publishing its Draft Guidelines on the exclusionary abuse of dominance
Brand authenticity plays a crucial role in a brand’s growth according to previous research, but little research has been conducted to examine how growth may affect brand authenticity. It has been conventional practice in the branding world to study brand authenticity based predominantly on consumer perceptions rather than studying brands’ ability to remain authentic over an extended time period. A
Natriuretic peptides (NPs), such as atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), are hormones produced in the heart’s cardiomyocytes. ANP has been shown to form amyloids, which prevent the heart from functioning properly, ultimately increasing the risk of congestive heart failure (CHF). BNP also has been found in amyloid structures within the heart. Here, multiple algorith
The path to achieving food security is complex due to the linkage between human health and environmental impacts. Alternative approaches to industrial monoculture agriculture, such as agroforestry, are increasingly being explored due to the variety of forest foods it provides and the environmental benefits associated with its use. I conducted a meta-analysis of 15 published studies that reported 3
