Icke-statliga organisationer är inflytelserika aktörer i världspolitiken och utvecklingsarbeten. Under det senaste decenniet har allt fler icke-statliga organisationer, internationella och nationella, rapporterat om kränkningar av de mänskliga rättigheterna för HBTQIAP+ personer och de utmaningar som de möter i deras liv. Hur de rapporterar om dessa frågor är viktiga eftersom språk och diskurs harNGOs are influential actors in world politics and development efforts. During the last decade increasing numbers of NGOs, international and national, have been reporting on the violations of the human rights of LGBTQIAP+ persons and the challenges these people face in their lives. How they report on these issues matters since language and discourse have an influence over whose voices are heard and

This bachelor's thesis is a qualitative investigation regarding technologies for generating code, how these are used within large software development companies, as well as who introduces these technologies and how they affect developers' tasks. The investigation consists of four partially structured interviews based on the TAM3 model. These interviews have been thematically analyzed to ac

The underlying mechanisms for statin-induced myopathy (SIM) are still equivocal. In this study, we employ Drosophila melanogaster to dissect possible underlying mechanisms for SIM. We observe that chronic fluvastatin treatment causes reduced general locomotion activity and climbing ability. In addition, transmission microscopy of dissected skeletal muscles of fluvastatin-treated flies reveals stro

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether placement, using a special display, of ecological products, will have an effect on consumer buying behaviour and thereby sales of these products. When talking about sales we refer to the amount of ecological products that are being bought, habitual and unplanned, as a response due to the placement of the products in-store. To further elucidate t

The classical system for presentation of the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) reflects the electrical activity of the heart as viewed in the transverse plane by 6 leads with a single anatomically ordered sequence, V1-V6; but in the frontal plane by 6 leads with dual sequences, I, II, and III, and aVR, aVL, and aVF. However, there is also a single anatomically ordered sequence of leads, called the C

Robot-assisted surgery is a promising technical innovation. Given the similarities between laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery it is unlikely that randomized controlled trials would be conducted to disclose any differences between these two technical instruments. Thus, skepticism remains due to lack of any definitive conclusions in the literature.

We hypothesized that treating distal radius fractures with cast only or closed reduction and cast is associated with high malunion risk and that the risk is higher in patients with low bone mineral density (BMD).

Dementia is the most common cause of functional decline among elderly people and is associated with high costs of national healthcare in European countries. With increasing functional and cognitive decline, it is likely that many people suffering from dementia will receive institutional care in their lifetime. To delay entry to institutional care, many European countries invest in home and communi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vår kropp består av olika celler som kommunicerar med varandra genom signalering. Cellerna tar emot signaler från omgivningen med hjälp av proteiner som sätter sig fast på deras yta genom mottagare, så kallade receptorer. När receptorerna får signaler skickas de vidare in i cellkärnan där det bestäms hur cellen ska agera. Tyrosinkinasreceptorer är proteiner som sitter pFLT3, a receptor tyrosine kinase, is expressed in hematopoietic progenitor cells. FLT3-ITD (internal tandem duplication) and D835 mutations are found in approximately 30% and 7% of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients respectively, and correlate with a poor prognosis, thus making the mutated receptor a potential therapeutic target. FLT3 mutations cause constitutive activation of intrinsic tyrosin

The purpose of this case study was to explain the impact of peer education to promote behavioural change in a student community. The ABC behaviours to abstain, be faithful and use condom have been central and unique behavioural approach to reduce HIV infections in the 1990s in Uganda. Behavioural and empowerment theories, including diffusion of innovations, are central for this study. Semi-struc

I april 2017, blev Rebecca Tuvel, en av författarna till den feministiska filosofiskriften Hypatia, kritiserad för en artikel som hon hade skrivit och som hade publicerats av den akademiska tidskriften. Artikeln som Tuvel skrev, innefattade ett jämförande av Rachel Dolezal, en vit kvinna som identifierade sig som svart, med det av Caitlyn Jenner, en trans kvinna. Detta i sin tur ledde till att för

Ne bis in idem is an evolving and current topic of EU law where recent case law has affected its application. The Swedish tax system contains administrative proceedings that can result in fines that can thereafter be followed (or initiated) with a criminal offence proceeding. The ECtHR revised its view on the Ne bis in Idem in Zolothukin v Russia and concluded that the Identity of the facts was de

This thesis investigates the Danish public service station DR and the national structure of the media. As the democratic process has increasingly moved from the national level to the EU and as Danes rely on television as the main source of information on European political matters, it is only reasonable to expect the national public service station, DR, to fulfil that role, nonetheless previous st

1 Organ culture has been shown to upregulate both endothelin (ET) and 5-hydroxytryptamine 1B/1D (5-HT(1B/1D)) receptors in rat cerebral arteries. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the involvement of protein kinases, especially protein kinases C (PKC) and A (PKA) in this process. 2 The effect of inhibiting protein kinases during organ culture with staurosporine (unspecific protein

Genetically engineered mice have successfully been used to investigate molecular and cellular mechanisms associated with cell dysfunction following brain trauma. Such animals may also offer a possibility to investigate mechanisms involved in posttraumatic hemodynamic alterations. The objective of the study was to establish a mouse model in which important hemodynamic alterations following trauma c

The purpose of this study is to investigate different experiences of domestic, socio-cultural and political life of Bangladeshi diaspora women, living in Scandinavia (especially in Sweden and Denmark). This has done by analysing different life experiences of 22 women (11 in Malmö, Sweden and 11 in Copenhagen, Denmark) who have all been living in these western societies as immigrants. The study inc

Health plays a vital role in every human’s life; and the centre for the maintaining and retaining our health lies in the health care. Thanks to innovations in health care technology and innovations of new drugs the health care is constantly improving, which contributes to improved survival probability and improved quality of life. However, this development in health care comes at a high price, sin

As Europe witnesses a rise in support of the far-right, more attention is being paid to why nationalistic sentiment is gaining popularity, particularly amongst rural populations. However, less known is how nationalism interacts with pressing ecological issues, even less so with agricultural matters. Given that a large proportion of farmers in the UK are said to have supported Brexit, it is importa
