During the #metoo movement in the autumn of 2017, stories about sexual assault, including rape, garnered much attention worldwide. It might seem as if all of these stories came from nowhere. In fact, during the last decades several rape cases have been highlighted and debated in media all over the world. These discussions in the media and among the general public have led to scrutiny and a critica
The potential for using germline genome editing (GGE) in humans has garnered a lot of attention, both for its scientific possibilities as well as for the ethical, legal, and social challenges it ignites. The ethical debate has focused primarily on the suggestions of using GGE to establish a pregnancy (i.e., to offer it in a clinical setting), which is, to date, illegal in many jurisdictions. The u
Call the Dependence Thesis the popular view that values are dependent on emotions. This paper argues that the Dependence Thesis is amenable to different readings and critiques one particular reading. According to the Definitional Dependence Thesis, definitions of evaluative concepts necessarily have to appeal to emotions. By contrast, according to the Epistemic Dependence Thesis, which is the targ

Perceptual alignment is important from a corporate branding perspective because strong corporate brands express associations and sources of ideals that are attractive and appealing to the stakeholders related to the organisation.

This presentation discusses an ongoing research project that aims to collect data about the practice of information search. It seeks to learn more about different ways in which tourist information is collected at different stages of a journey. Speaking to tourism planners and reading tourism research, it seems as if the digitalization of information has completely changed tourists’ information sea
Abstract in UndeterminedPackaging as a component in the supply chain impacts efficiency and effectiveness. In the interaction between packaging systems and the supply chain, actors place various needs on packaging. These can be related to infrastructure or product characteristics, business settings or operations. They also depend on the supply chain context, the distribution conditions, the produc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte är att analysera relationen och interaktionen mellan genus och nation i en svensk kontext under 1900-talets första hälft. När kvinnor mobiliseras nationellt inom olika typer av nationalism är det oftast moderskapet som åberopas. Detta är en av utgångspunkterna i avhandlingen. Föreställningar om ett nationellt moderskap återfinns också i flera olika sThe aim of this thesis is to analyse the relationship and interaction between gender and nation in a Swedish context, during the first half of the twentieth century. When women become mobilised on a nationwide basis within different types of nationalism, it is often motherhood that is invoked. This is just one point of departure in my dissertation. Perceptions of a national motherhood are also fou
Popular Abstract in Swedish Forskning kring biomarkörer har revolutionerat cancersjukvården. Några av de mest kända exemplen är PSA-testet som kan användas för att identifiera patienter med ökad risk för prostata cancer eller de nya antikroppsbehandlingarna, t.ex mot HER2 (trastuzumab/Hercepin) eller CD20 (rituximab/Rituxan), som gör att man nu ofta kan förlänga eller bota patienter som tidigare hThe goal of biomarker discovery is to identify disease defining molecules, which could be used to improve early detection and/or to predict survival and response to treatment. This thesis is about the transcription factor SOX11, a protein discovered in the context of mantle cell lymphoma in 2008, which shows great potential to be used as a clinical relevant biomarker. The aim of this thesis is to
The Marieberg porcelain factory, situated on the island of Kungsholmen in Stockholm, existed between 1758 and 1788. The aim of this study has been to investigate the manufacture of tiled stoves at Marieberg. The first question I wanted to answer was: how many were actually produced? The few documents from the period that have survived show that Marieberg must have had continuous production of tile
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärt-lungräddning (HLR) introducerades 1960 och fick genast stor betydelse vid be-handlingen av hjärtinfarkt. Så småningom kom metoden att användas vid nästan alla till-fällen då hjärtat stannade. I mitten av 70-talet började man i USA utfärda ordinationer till sjuksköterskorna att HLR inte skulle startas på vissa patienter i händelse av att hjärtat skulle stanna. DettThe purpose was to describe ethical aspects on how do-not-resuscitate (DNR) deci-sions are made, established, and communicated between physicians, nurses, patients and relatives. A random sample of 220 physicians and nurses answered a questionnaire about their attitudes to and experiences of the making and communication of a DNR decision. The re-sponse rate was 73%. Twenty seriously ill patients,
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om expertinflytande och demokrati och fokuserar hur politiskt beslutsfattande i frågor med stort beroende av vetenskaplig expertis bör gå till för att vara demokratiskt. Studiens övergripande syfte är att från ett demokratiskt perspektiv värdera den svenska lagstiftningsprocessen om medicinsk genteknik, som kan ses som ett fall av beslutsfattand
This dissertation is a theoretical and empirical investigation of the ordering of adverbs in the I-domain. Within the generative-minimalist framework, adverbs have traditionally been analysed as adjuncts, adjoined to the syntactic structure in semantically appropriate positions (e.g. Jackendoff 1972). This view has been questioned and argued against by scholars such as Alexiadou (1997) and Cinque
Popular Abstract in Swedish Spridning och inavel i naturen I modern tid har vi människor orsakat stora förändringar i miljön, vilket påverkat många arters livsbetingelser. Exempelvis har vi avskogat stora områden och efterlämnat små delar av de större områden som tidigare hängde ihop. Organismer som lever i sådana uppsplittrade miljöer kommer att vara isolerade från varandra, vilket får som följdTo evaluate how inbreeding affects the viability of small populations, it is crucial to determine what constitutes a population (i.e., the number of breeders in local patches and the degree of dispersal), and also to estimate the reproductive consequences of philopatry and emigration. In this thesis, I concentrate on dispersal, inbreeding and fitness in natural populations. I consider dispersal ra
Popular AbstractSyftet med avhandlingen är att undersöka på vilket sätt teater med ungdomar, enligt ungdomarnas egna erfarenheter och utsagor om det, utgör en kollektiv bildningsprocess. I avhandlingens syfte ingår att analysera hur en teaterföreställning växer fram och att skapa förståelse för vad som sker mellan olika aktörer, främst mellan ungdomar och ledare.Forskningsfenomenet, unga människorThe objective of this research project is to investigate in what way young people's theatre playing, according to their own experiences, constitute a collective educational process.

Introduction Many kinds of footwear are used for various purposes in the workplace in Japan. Careful selection of footwear is needed to protect workers from coldness and to keep the performance of workers in cold workplace where employees have to work under -20℃. On the other hand, safety boots with high heat conductivity from foot to outside are needed for the workers in hot environments. But the
Syftet med mitt examensarbete är att undersöka i detalj hur gällande folkrätt förhåller sig till autonoma vapensystem. Bakgrunden till detta projekt är att internationell humanitär rätt förutsätter att aktörerna i kriget, soldater och officerare är människor. Krigföring har dock förändrats i allt högre grad sedan de första Genèvekonventionerna skrevs i augusti 1949. Krig kämpas numera med maskinerThe purpose of my Master Thesis is to examine, in detail, how current international law relates to autonomous weapon systems. The background for this project is that the requirement of current international humanitarian law presupposes that the characters of war, namely soldiers and military officers, are human beings. Warfare has, however, changed increasingly since the Geneva Conventions were wr
I Sverige finns ingen författningsreglerad minimilön eller möjlighet att göra kollektivavtal allmängiltiga. Istället är det arbetsmarknadens parter som tillsammans förhandlar fram kollektivavtalets innehåll om löner och andra anställningsvillkor. Den svenska arbetsrätten har en tradition av långtgående fackligt inflytande och avsaknad av statlig inblandning. Staten har uttryckt att författningsregIn Sweden, there is an absence of a minimum wage legislation. The terms and conditions for most workers is constituted in the collective agreement, made by the parties of the Swedish labour market. The government has expressed itself unable to legislate in the matter as it would mean a violation to the “Swedish labour model”, keeping its neutral policy intact. The collective agreement has a very s
