Biophysical models that describe the outcome of white matter diffusion MRI experiments have various degrees of complexity. While the simplest models assume equal-sized and parallel axons, more elaborate ones may include distributions of axon diameters and axonal orientation dispersions. These microstructural features can be inferred from diffusion-weighted signal attenuation curves by solving an i

Planet earth is getting hotter and regional climates are becoming increasingly unpredictable across the globe. Cities and communities on all continents are already impacted by the changing climate, but also by two other crises – the fossil-energy decent and the 6th mass extinction event. These three complex and interconnected crises all increase the risk of food becoming a scarce resource. In fact

Införandet av en så kallad samtyckeslag har varit kraftigt omdebatterat i över två decenniers tid. Den 1 juli 2018 infördes en våldtäktsbestämmelse som baseras på frivillighet. I och med detta utvidgades våldtäktsbestämmelsen på så sätt att det inte längre fordras tvång eller utnyttjande av en särskilt utsatt situation för att straffansvar ska aktualiseras. Syftet med den nya våldtäktsbe-stämmelseThe adoption of a so-called consent-based rape law has been heavily debated for over two decades. On July 1st, 2018 a rape clause based on voluntarism was introduced. As a result, the rape regulation was extended in such a way that it no longer requires force, or exploitation of a particular vulnerable situa-tion, for criminal liability to occur. The purpose of the new rape regulation is to protec

In Germany, country of diesel bans and postponed climate goals, the region of Baden-Württemberg, as the heart of the country’s car industry, faces especial challenges. Due to its highly car-oriented transport system and topographical structure, the region is notorious for some of the country’s worst air quality levels. In response to these issues, the regional government formulated a cycling strat

The new Swedish Library Act, which took effect in 2014, states in paragraph 2 that libraries in the public library system shall promote the development of a democratic society by contributing to the transfer of knowledge and the free formation of opinions. In recent years several debates have surfaced in the media concerning the democratic mission by public librarians and public libraries, in rega

My focus is specifically on the recent debate of potential racial profiling by

Those who have increased their relative care are primarily women, especially women from the working class and women who provide care to a relative who was born outside the Nordic countries.

Jezebel (in this essay, Isebel) is often described as the evillest woman in the Bible and has for many reasons become a favourite in feminist exegesis. In this thesis, I put Jezebel in her context: historical, religious, social, political, and try to discern the following aspects: • How is Isebel as a character depicted in the Bible? • Why is she depicted in this way? • What can we know about Iseb

This study is centred around Fridays for Future, a youth movement which has rippled across the world from its first sparks in the fall of 2018 to the spring of 2019, and has given rise to countless pieces about the movement in both traditional and social media. According to critical discourse theory, the discourses that we read in the media both affect us and how we see things, but the context in

Denna uppsats handlar om den delen av kvinnorörelsens historia där kvinnors rätt till högre statstjänster berörs. I takt med industrialiseringen förändrades det svenska samhället och medförde att kvinnor tog plats på arbetsmarknaden på ett helt annat sätt än tidigare.

In time as the industrialization happened, Swedish society changed which resulted in that women took their place in the labor market in a completely different way than before.

Digitaliseringen har i stor utsträckning revolutionerat sättet som företagen gör affärer på. Det finns inte längre samma behov av fysiska platser för affärsverksamheter eftersom teknologin har skapat virtuella platser där företag kan sälja både varor och tjänster utan att överhuvudtaget sätta en fot i jurisdiktionen. Emellertid har reglerna om fast driftställe alltsedan 1920-talet präglats av att The digitalisation has largely revolutionized the way companies do business. There is no longer the same need for physical locations for businesses for the reason that technology has created virtual locations where companies can sell both goods and services without even setting foot in the jurisdiction. However, the rules on permanent establishment have, ever since the 1920’s, been characterized b
