To analyse the behaviour of English loanwords in the Japanese language using corpus analysis is a relatively new field of research. The aim of this thesis is to add to this emergent field by attempting to discover if there are any differences in how English loanword nouns and their native Japanese/Sino-Japanese near synonym pairs are used in contemporary written Japanese. The thesis also tries to
This thesis aims to investigate if there is a correlation between Donald Trump’s political beliefs and his foreign policy behaviour towards North Korea during 2016-2019. By applying the theoretical framework Operational Code redesigned by Alexander George, Trump’s political beliefs are visible through ten questions. These political beliefs which are divided into philosophical and instrumental beli
As the demand for meat grows, meat analogs have been positioned as a way for consumers to switch their dietary protein sources to help reduce their global climate impact. Today, several meat analogs on the market can compete with traditional meat products in total impression, despite being made of various plant proteins. However, challenges to mimic mouthfeel and texture surrounding meat analogs c
Title: Constructing Vegan and Sustainable Consumption Date of the Seminar: 2021-06-04 Course: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Ninette Hansson and Vanille Cousyn Johansson Supervisor: Sofia Ulver and Hossain Shahriar Key Words: Vegan Consumption, Sustainable Consumption, Ideologies, Myths, Consumer Responsibilization, Cultural Branding Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis
The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the audit regulatory space with regard to fraud and discuss the elements of the expectation gap as constructed by the IAASB and its stakeholders. The research question is addressed by a qualitative approach, using Political Discourse Analysis, the concept of regulatory space and an analytical framework designed by the authors. The analysis of the constructi
In the mid 2010’s, a loosely defined online collective of involuntary celibates came to the forefront of media discourse, after a high profile terrorist attack was perpetrated by a self-identified “incel”. While infamous for their extremely misogynistic views, incel forums have nonetheless remained a sparsely researched area. This paper aims to elucidate the way incels feel towards society and the
We explore what factors are relevant in creating and fostering a creative, innovative and entrepreneurial internal environment in established organizations, through the perception of those who manage them. Towards this end we conduct semi-structured interviews to perform qualitative case studies, in three companies, drawing on the knowledge and insight from 12 managers. We take an inductive, explo
The aim of the project was to explore and describe the views of physiotherapy students concerning sexual health as a part of physiotherapy education, and to enable them in their future profession as physiotherapists to be able to discuss sexual health matters with patients in an informed, sensitive and relaxed way. A qualitative interview study with data collection through focus group interviews w
Background: Little is known about the relationships of circulating levels of biomarkers of cartilage degradation with biomechanical outcomes relevant to knee osteoarthritis (OA) or biomarker changes following non-pharmacological interventions. The objectives of this exploratory, pilot study were to: 1) examine relationships between biomarkers of articular cartilage degradation and synthesis with m
There is no unified view as to what partnering relationships are in the construction industry. The purpose of this paper is to examine the literature in order to identify the main assumptions about partnering relationships in construction research and practice. The literature is compared to the Construction Industry Institute's (CII, 1991) frequently cited definition of partnering as a long-term c
Spectroscopic Photoemission and Low Energy Electron Microscopy (SPELEEM) is a very powerful and diverse microscopy technique for the investigation of surfaces, interfaces, buried layers and nanoscale objects like nanoparticles and nanowires. The many significant results from photoemission Electron microscopy (PEEM) in recent years are linked with the exploitation of advanced light sources such as
Scatterhoarding birds that cache food items have become an important model system for the study of spatial memory and its correlates in the brain. In particular, it has been suggested that through adaptive specialization, species that cache food have better spatial memory and a relatively larger hippocampus than their non-caching relatives. Critics of this approach, dubbed neuroecology, maintain t
Photoreceptor cell death is the major hallmark of a group of human inherited retinal degenerations commonly referred to as retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Although the causative genetic mutations are often known, the mechanisms leading to photoreceptor degeneration remain poorly defined. Previous research work has focused on apoptosis, but recent evidence suggests that photoreceptor cell death may resu
BACKGROUND: Despite their pivotal roles in colorectal carcinogenesis, the interrelationship and prognostic significance of beta-catenin alterations and microsatellite instability (MSI) in colorectal cancer (CRC) needs to be further clarified. In this paper, we studied the associations between beta-catenin overexpression and MSI status with survival from CRC, and with expression of p21, p27, cyclin
Background: Refugees have often been exposed to torture in their countries of origin. Rehabilitation of tortured refugees living in Denmark is offered by the specialized Rehabilitation and Research Centre for Torture Victims in Copenhagen. After an interdisciplinary assessment eligible patients are recommended rehabilitation. Objective: To explore tortured refugees' expectations of the multidiscip
The article presents some results from an international project on the introduction of French literature in Scandinavia during the 19th century. A point of departure is the database BREFS (Bibliographie du Réalisme Français en Scandinavie), containing the translations of novels, short stories, poetic works and theatre plays that were published in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden in boo
Pancreatic cancer is a challenging disease due to the low resection rate at the time of initial diagnosis. A relatively new classification of marginally resectable pancreatic cancer has emerged and there is some evidence that this subgroup of patients may benefit from neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy. The first major definition of marginally resectable pancreatic cancer was made at M. D. Anderson Can
The new instrument for near-ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy which has been installed at the MAX II ring of the Swedish synchrotron radiation facility MAX IV Laboratory in Lund is presented. The new instrument, which is based on a SPECS PHOIBOS 150 NAP analyser, is the first to feature the use of retractable and exchangeable high-pressure cells. This implies that clean vacuum cond
The Nile basin is the world’s longest river and stretches from the countries of Rwanda and Burundi in the south to the Mediterranean Sea in the north. Its water flows between eleven different countries and creates a natural bond in the region. Sharing water has however created political tension in the region. Even if the states are now seeking collaborative agreements, the region is still being in
How can a myth for human arrogance and slaughter have a consolatory effect? Niobe, a proud mother of six sons and an equal number of daughters, claimed superiority over Leto, mother of Apollo and Artemis. As a consequence for this insolence, she was deprived from her motherhood; the divine archers slaughtered her children one by one. In every handbook about ancient Greek mythology, this myth of
