This thesis aims to gain a better understanding of the modern subjugation of nature and women in the United States, by looking at the recent history of the Environmental Justice Movement (nature) and Reproductive Justice Movement (women). Through examining the history of these movements and relevant politics from 1970 to present day, events can be analyzed to shed light on the current political si
Sverige blev medlem i den Europeiska unionen 1995. En viktig del i samarbetet är upprättandet av den inre marknaden. EG-fördraget är garanten för att fri rörlighet för varor, tjänster, kapital och personer ska vara möjlig mellan medlemsstaterna. Några hinder för den fria rörligheten får inte förekomma på dessa områden. EG-domstolen ser till att EG-fördragets bestämmelser efterlevs av medlemsstater

The Swedish technical consultancy firms are today facing a number of exciting challenges. A majority of the firms’ larger customers have already established themselves in the international market. Simultaneously they have also begun to appreciate the need of a closer cooperation with a selected number of their suppliers. Hence, opportunities arise for the technical consultants to take on a larger
In the interconnected landscape of today's global economy, some nations' fortunes are closely tied to their natural resources and their effective management. This is particularly true for countries like Azerbaijan, blessed with abundant oil reserves. While these resources catalyze growth, they also expose vulnerabilities as the nation's economy fluctuates with the tides of the global o
Detta examensarbete undersöker det rättsliga landskapet kring möjligheter att få stöd och service för barn med funktionsnedsättning som har fått tillfälligt skydd i Sverige enligt Massflyktsdirektivet. Detta skedde som ett resultat av Rysslands invasion av Ukraina 2022, vilket ledde till en betydande tillströmning av personer till EU och aktiveringen av EU:s Massflyktsdirektiv för första gången. This thesis examines the legal landscape surrounding the social assistance provided to children with disabilities under temporary protection in Sweden. The aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 prompted a significant influx of displaced individuals into the EU. The EU Temporary Protection Directive was activated for the first time. The thesis explores the Swedish legal system’s respons
Climate smart territories are proposed as the solution to the perceived problems of poverty, food insecurity, gender equality, degradation of eco-systems, and climate change vulnerability, in the mountain region in Nicaragua. By educating farmers and rural families the practices that lead to these problems can be changed. In order to reflect upon the proposed solution fieldwork was conducted with
Background and purpose: Tamoxifen remains an important adjuvant treatment in premenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Thus, determination of hormone receptors is important. Here, we compare cytosol-based methods, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and gene expression (GEX) analysis for determining hormone receptor status in premenopausal breast cancer patients from a randomise
The overarching research question that the Volume seeks to answer is the following: What are the characteristics and impacts of emerging international and regional asylum governance, and what are their implications on the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR)’s implementation, which calls for more equitable and effective arrangements for responsibility sharingResponsibility sharing? This is an especial
Petrochemical production is tightly entangled with fossil fuel extraction and constitutes the primary driver of oil demand growth. Therefore, scholars have increasingly started exploring the linkages between fossil fuels and chemicals, tracing their importance for the political economy of energy transitions. A defining feature in the global petrochemical industry is that the majority of the recent
Radar data at C-band has shown great potential for the monitoring of soil and canopy hydric conditions of wheat crops. In this study, the C-band Sentinel-1 time series including the backscattering coefficients σ0 at VV and VH polarization, the polarization ratio (PR) and the interferometric coherence ρ are first analyzed with the support of experimental data gathered on three plots of irrigated wi
The sun is the most prominent source of directional information in the heading direction network of the diurnal, ball-rolling dung beetle Kheper lamarcki. If this celestial body is occluded from the beetle's field of view, the distribution of the relative weight between the directional cues that remain shifts in favour of the celestial pattern of polarised light. In this study, we continue to expl
Flimmer, eller nærmere bestemt tidslig lys modulation (TLM), er igen blevet et problem i forbindelse med indførelse af LED-basret belysningsteknologi. TLM, dvs. variationer i lysintensiteten over tid, kan have negativ effekt på menneskers sundhed, og forårsage irritation, hovedpine, overanstrengelse af øjne og migræne. Udover denne unødvendige lidelse, som flimmer kan bevirke hos enkeltpersoner, s
INTRODUCTION: Immune cells in the tumour microenvironment are associated with prognosis and response to therapy. We aimed to comprehensively characterise the spatial immune phenotypes in the mutational and clinicopathological background of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).METHODS: We established a multiplexed fluorescence imaging pipeline to spatially quantify 13 immune cell subsets in 359 NSCLC
Droplets generated by talking and coughing play a major role in the spreading of COVID-19. There is thus a need for accurate measurements of the physical properties of exhaled droplets, including their number, speed and direction.Several challenges are associated with imaging coughed droplets such as high droplet speed near the mouth where both short exposure time to freeze droplet motion and kHz
