This thesis analyzes the legitimacy of the United States’ sanctions against Cuba during the Cold War from a human rights perspective. It applies four theoretical frameworks: John Locke’s natural rights theory, Marxism, liberal internationalism, and the UN Charter. Using an idea analysis method, the study examines how these frameworks interpret the purpose, means, and effects of the sanctions. Empi
Overheating in buildings is becoming a major concern and cause for various health issues. Existing research and previous studies on the issue were examined to acquire relevant information about the definition of overheating, its possible causes, and the heath impacts it could have on human health. The review included data on the current status of thermal comfort and overheating regulations in Swed
Sverige står inför en mycket stor investering inom järnvägen. Nya stambanor kommer att koppla samman Sveriges stora regioner och samtidigt minska restiden mellan dem. Järnvägen ses även som ett klimatsmart resealternativ, vilket bidrar till att fler väljer att ta tåget framfört till exempel flyget. Banorna kommer att utsättas för olika väder beroende på var i landet de befinner sig. Detta gör attSweden is facing big investments in railway infrastructure. The railway is seen as one of the better ways to travel to reduce the individual's carbon imprint. New mainlines will be built to interconnect the biggest cities and reduce travel time. Different parts of the line will have different kinds of weather, this results in different solutions depending on where in the country. New main line
Lunds Klimatallians har ambitioner att hjälpa sina medlemmar arbeta mot en hållbar utveckling och letar efter nya metoder för att förbättra sin insats. Lunds Klimatallians är en organisation som startades i initiativ av Lund Kommuns miljöstrategiska enhet i syfte att bidra till Sveriges genomförande av FN:s klimatmål. Målen ska leda världen mot en hållbar utveckling men i dagsläget finns hållbarheLund's Climate Alliance was initiated 2010 by the municipality of Lund, in southern Sweden, to support local climate adaptation and mitigation efforts. The purpose of this paper is to investigate what each member of Lund's Climate Alliance believes will be necessary to realize sustainability goals particular to their organization in the future. The study thereby points to new topics, activ
Popular summary The fate of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs The knowledge about distribution of drugs between sewage sludge, water phases and water living organisms is vital for predictions of the fate and transport routes of toxic substances to the environment. And the distribution of drugs in the environment can be used as a base for risk assessments and it also can be used to define desir
Produktion av en nanotrådssolcell För att ta itu med miljöpåverkan från växthusgaser krävs en övergång till förnyelsebara energikällor. Ett exempel på en sådan källa är nanotrådssolceller. I mitt examensarbete har jag undersökt hur nanotrådar kan arrangeras på sådant sätt som krävs för att kunna omvandla solljuset till elektricitet. Global uppvärmning är ett hot som till stor del orsakas av utslThe demand for cheaper and more efficient solar cells is high. One way to decrease cost of material, while maintaining a high degree of efficiency, is to take advantage of nanomaterials. A thin film containing pn-junction nanowires can convert light with an efficiency comparable to traditional planar cells, while using a fraction of the material, and thus reduce costs.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Är klimatforskningen skev? En central fråga är om vi kan lita på att vetenskapliga tidskrifter återger en rättvis bild av aktuella forskningsresultat? Dessutom bör vi fråga oss hur rapporteringen påverkas då betydande händelser sker inom vetenskapsvärlden. I november 2007 och senare 2009 skedde två viktiga företeelser inom klimatforskningen som potentiellt kanAbstract The declaration of a scientific consensus concerning anthropogenic causes for climate change by the IPCC in their fourth assessment report (AR4), published in 2007, initiated a heated debate. During this debate, experts within the IPCC were accused of selective reporting and the AR4 got strong source criticism by politicians, stakeholders and climate skeptics in general. The debate furth
Colombia, as many Latin-American countries have designed a series of welfare programs in order to relief poverty, due to the crisis experimented during the 90s. Hence, the present research estimate the impact on earnings of one of the welfare program implemented in Colombia “Empleo en Acción” and see the possible forgone income from participate in the program. Thereby, based on Diff-Diff method th
Background: Little is known regarding treatment with cangrelor during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of such cangrelor treatment during PCI in patients with myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Met
Background: Stroke and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rank among the leading causes of mortality. Physical activity and exercise are recommended as part of rehabilitation after AMI to prevent cardiovascular events, but the importance for stroke prevention has not been investigated using population-based data. Objectives: To determine associations between participation in exercise-based cardiac
When dry soil is rewetted, contrasting microbial responses can be induced, ranging from a more resilient type of response with faster growth recovery to a more sensitive type of response with a slower growth recovery. These microbial responses will also affect soil carbon (C) cycling in the rhizosphere. However, whether the microbially-controlled priming of soil organic matter (SOM) mineralization
BACKGROUND: Platelet transfusions are frequent in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), either as prophylaxis against bleeding complications or as treatment for bleeding. The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine guidelines for ICU patients generally recommend not using prophylactic platelet transfusions unless the platelet count falls below 10 × 10 9 cells/L in non-bleeding patients and make no re
Background: Ultrafiltration (UF) insufficiency in peritoneal dialysis (PD) often leads to transfer to hemodialysis. Therefore, strategies to prolong time on therapy are needed. The use of a combined crystalloid and colloid solution, also called bimodal PD, can help improve UF. Methods: We propose a method for reconstituting bimodal solutions. Three bimodal PD solutions, with respectively 100 ml (s
Med den globala uppvärmningen förutspås klimatet i arktiska och subarktiska miljöer förändras påtagligt. Enligt IPCCs senaste rapport kan både temperatur och nederbörd öka dubbelt så mycket som det globala genomsnittet, och störst ökning väntas under vinterhalvåret. Många känsliga ekosystem och miljöer kommer med stor sannolikhet att påverkas redan vid små förändringar. Ett exempel på sådana miljöThe on-going global warming is projected to have large impacts on the arctic and subarctic environment. Especially vulnerable are ecosystems with narrow climatic envelopes and with small possibilities of adaptation. An example of this is the palsa mires, subarctic mire complexes with patches of permafrost. Palsas are peat mounds with a frozen core, formed by the expansion and upheaval of the segre
