The paper engages a provocative, multi-dimensional legal, moral and human rights issue that strikes at the heart of 21st century UK asylum law. Throughout the NATO Afghanistan military campaigns (headed by the International Security Assistance Force) in which the UK committed combat troops from 2001 to 2014, hundreds of local Afghan nationals were employed by the British Army as interpreters and t
We consider a two Higgs doublet model with a U(1) Froggatt Nielsen mechanism. The Froggatt Nielsen charges of the fermions are chosen such that the correct mass structure and quark mixing matrix is obtained, and such that Flavor Changing Neutral Currents are within experimental limits. We do not assume any discrete symmetry of the lagrangian, and let Charge Parity be violated, both in the Higgs se
Debt-based trade and economic exchanges are becoming more and more widespread phenomena in the context of most post-Soviet Central Asian societies, especially in Uzbekistan. In the absence of viable state economic support, a functional banking system and an effective legal system, trust-based economic exchanges serve as an alternative means for conducting micro-level businesses in Uzbekistan. This
The purpose of this paper has been to create a theoretical framework by which one can understand communicative transference within, as well as between, systems. The paper has aimed to make use of how ‘the self’ in relation to neurocognitive impairments is conceptualized, communicated, and understood within the fields of Law, Psychology, and Neurology, in order to provide evidentiary support for su
Background. Carlberg & Innanen (1987) first proposed the idea of measuring the solar re- flex velocity (the velocity of the Sun around the galactic centre), Vg,⊙, using the momenta of the stars in the solar neighbourhood. The proposal was a consequence of the work of L. Martinet (Martinet 1974), where he proved that there should be a dearth of stars with zero angular momenta in the solar neigh
B-uppsatsen är författad av Elin Johansson och Daniella Nordström i ämnet medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier, Lunds universitet. Det finns mycket forskning kring sociala mediers för- och nackdelar. Den kontext som finns på internatskolor finns det dock inte mycket forskning kring. Studien syftar därför till att undersöka huruvida gymnasieelever på int
Previous studies of the neural correlates of episodic memory formation have been limited because the design of experiments tended to restrict natural viewing behavior, and thus they overlooked the role of eye movements in memory formation. The goal of the present study is to offer new insights into understanding the neural mechanisms of episodic memory formation in naturalistic viewing at the leve
Rising global temperatures are creating a variety of changes in polar regions and pushing organisms to new extremes. Snow cover changes in the arctic are leading to exposed soils, allowing the soil to freeze at lower temperatures and experience freeze thaw cycles. In this study, I investigated the effect of freeze thaw cycles on arctic microorganisms, focusing on the main microbial groups bacteria
Due to their aberrant growth behavior, cancer cells maintain and depend on aerobic glycolysis even in the presence of physiological oxygen levels to provide building blocks for cell proliferation. This and other dependencies in the metabolism of cancer cells have emerged as promising targets for therapy development. However, metabolic interventions also target highly proliferating cells of the imm
The EU’s normative power has been questioned vis-à-vis Grand Powers like China, India, and Russia. It has also been doubted in relation to trade policy, where the economic benefits challenge the incentive to act normatively. In this thesis, qualitative content analysis is conducted to find out how normative is the EU towards China in trade policy, by focusing on a case study of the Comprehensive I
As the world becomes increasingly urban, cities are seeking creative and effective strategies to become more climate-proof and sustainable while, at the same time, creating liveable urban futures. Although it is often positioned as such an all-encompassing solution, urban greening has been found to give rise to new injustices and produce paradoxical effects of green gentrification. In combining do
The purpose of our study is to gain a better understanding of the influence of remote working on employees’ sense of belonging. A specific interest is shown in the variety of work relationships: those who are normally collocated and those who are normally remote.
The purpose of this thesis was to study the correspondence of occupant load factors determined by the guidance document of Finnish National Building code and the real occupant loads measured from shopping malls. The correspondence of occupant load factors determined according to Finnish National Building Code were compared with the occupant load factors determined in other national and internat
Present master thesis investigates the role of 4 chosen place-based educational initiatives in Austria which are actively engaged in local short food supply chains (SFSCs). Those supply chains are defined by close geographical and social relations between supply chain actors and a limited number of intermediaries. It aims to scrutinize to what extend such initiatives (can) foster consumer-producer
This bachelor’s thesis concerns the Swedish housing market and how the publicly and privately owned firms may differ in goals, costs, and actions. Building upon a theoretical foundation of different models of competition and the Lerner Index’s measurement of monopoly power, an empirical investigation is made into whether competition on the Swedish housing market mainly expresses itself in price, q
In today’s digital age, maintaining privacy is challenging as individuals often disclose personal information unwillingly. This discrepancy, known as the 'privacy paradox,' highlights the gap between privacy concerns and actual data-sharing behavior (Alashoor et al., 2022). Despite extensive research, there is limited understanding of how hedonistic and utilitarian motivations influence co
Research question: How do consumer motivations differ in response to the use of the term vintage compared to second-hand, influencing willingness to buy? Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate young adults’ motivations and willingness to buy in the context of preowned fashion. Through a comparative study, from a consumer perspective, this study aims to understand how terms like seco
