This report covers a survey of the natural occurence of the heavy metal cadmium (Cd) in soil and bedrock in Skåne, Sweden and Europe. The main focus is on the cadmium concentrations in samples of sphalerite (ZnS) collected in quarries in Skåne during the study, and in samples of sphalerite from the rest of Sweden and locations in Spain and USA depostited by the Department of Geology, Lund Universi
Changes in Sweden’s migration and asylum policies are constantly occurring as a topic in the political debate. When a foreigner hands in their asylum application to the Swedish Migration Agency a decision must be made rather quickly. It has become a common issue for unaccompanied children to prove their identity. The part of the identity that matters the most for the Swedish Migration Agency is th
The cell is the fundamental unit of life and in multicellular animals, all cells are derived from stem cells. To understand how stem cell development may influence phenotypic evolution, this thesis studies a population of vertebrate stem cells known as neural crest cells (NCCs). With unparalleled potency and migratory behavior, NCCs affect many different traits spread over the entire vertebrate bo
Cambodia is facing the familiar problem of achieving sustained rates of economic growth that could help it alleviate widespread poverty. Against the background of some encouraging developments, and quite a few that are not equally reassuring, we argue that any push for development needs to consider both agriculture and industry. This is so as both labour absorption, primarily in secondary sector a
Denna studie ämnar att undersöka fenomenet parakris och dess bidragande diskurser för att förstå intressenternas bidrag till parakrisen. Den studerade parakrisen utspelade sig i ölvarumärket Coronas Instagram kommentarsfält vid pandemiutbrottet av viruset Covid-19. Det empiriska materialet består av kommentarer från ovan nämnda kommentarsfält som vi analyserade med analytiska och teoretiska verktyThis thesis aims to investigate the phenomenon of a paracrisis and the discourses constituting it to understand the stakeholder’s contribution to the paracrisis. The studied paracrisis unfolded in the comment section of the mexican beer brand Coronas Instagram during the global outbreak of the Covid-19 virus. The empirical material consists of comments that were analyzed with analytical and theore
In order to analyze how the concept of elder abuse was constructed within the narrative of a newspaper article series, Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA) was applied to 175 newspaper articles following the Carema Care elder abuse case. The articles used for the study were published by DN.se, the online version of the Swedish morning newspaper Dagens Nyheter, between 2011-10-11 and 2012-10-11. Th
This thesis aims to examine the mechanisms behind the psychiatric diagnosis resignation syndrome and why and/or how it emerged in Sweden in the early 2000s. In addition to this the thesis also aspires to explore the reasons behind why the diagnosis has fallen victim to such a large amount of criticism and suspicion. Through a literature study empirical data, consisting of primarily academic and sc

Ömsesidigt erkännande utsågs till hörnstenen i det straffrättsliga samarbetet inom the europeiska unionen i Tammerfors (Tampere) 1999. Tanken är att en medlemsstat ska erkänna ett juridiskt beslut fattat av en behörig instans i en annan medlemsstat som om beslutet var fattat av en av statens egna behöriga instanser. Det huvudsakliga argumentet för ömsesidigt erkännande var att det skulle medföra e

Background: Several studies have examined the role of physical activity as a predictor of heart failure (HF) mortality and morbidity. Here, we aimed to evaluate the role of self-reported physical activity as an independent risk factor of post-discharge mortality and re-hospitalization in patients hospitalized for HF, as well as study the association between physical activity and 92 plasma proteinsBackground: Several studies have examined the role of physical activity as a predictor of heart failure (HF) mortality and morbidity.
