Cultural differences in emotion recognition have been found numerous times in the literature, especially when emotions are presented in social context (Masuda, 2017). However, we need to find a socioecological difference that explains such differences as current theoretical viewpoints fail to explain why these differences only arise later in life. This study aims to see if friendship habits, how w
The Fidesz government has likely had an impact on the Hungarian economy through the “nationalistic” policies implemented. The analysis in this thesis aims to calculate the extent of the economic impact of the Fidesz government on the Hungarian economy in the period 2010 till 2018. Moreover, in Hungary the regional economic inequality is significant. The second aim of the analysis is to see how the
Urbanisation has an increasingly negative effect on wild bees and other pollinating insects because it results in land-use change and habitat-loss, leading to population declines. We rely on ecosystem services that bees provide and must ensure their survival. Private gardens constitute a substantial part of green spaces in cities, making them important foraging habitats for pollinators. In 2018 Th
The relationship between public spending on health and child mortality has been inconclusive in literature. Discussions about significant associations have largely depended on specific periods and countries studied. This essay focus on the effects of public spending on health on child mortality in the Mexican poorest states. Public spending on health for the population without social security was
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, SLE, is a disease with a large variation of symptoms. Some patients have neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as cognitive dysfunction and epilepsy. The classification of patients into NPSLE, with neuropsychiatric symptoms, and non-NPSLE, without these symptoms, is uncertain. Studying the white matter microstructure of SLE patients and comparing this with healthy controls
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) describes a situation where the number of people crossing the international border has suddenly increased in which neither if exist, the normal individual asylum procedures nor the response capacity of individual State are able to deal with the assessment of such large numbers as a 'mass refugee influx.' In the international law con
Today, Swedish women have one of the highest participation rates. In the nineteenth century, however, virtually no married women were recorded as working. Their participation rates started rising around the turn-of-the-century. Using full-count microdata from Swedish national censuses for the period 1880-1910, this paper aims to estimate the effects of various determinants on female labour supply.
This thesis is a field study which was conducted for 10 weeks in the regional capital city of Casamance named Ziguinchor in Senegal. By using tools from feminist critical theory and methodology such as participatory observations and feminist in-depth interviews with women organisations in Ziguinchor, the purpose of the thesis is to understand how gender roles affect women and women organisations s
1975 marked the end of the Spanish dictatorship under the rule of General Francisco Franco and the transition to democracy. Yet, the Basque ethnopolitical militant group Euskadi ta Askatasuna (ETA) continued its violent struggle until 2017, several years after the end of the dictatorship, while the otherwise peaceful independence movement in Catalonia began escalating following an illegal referend
Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disease which affects about 3 % of children in Sweden where most of them have an asymptomatic form making it difficult to detect. The bacterial composition in the gastrointestinal microflora can affect the intestinal barrier properties and the immune systems response to various dietary components. An unfavourable composition of the microflora can activate par
The aim of this thesis work was to investigate and evaluate new possible industrial applications for large welded plate heat exchangers, with heat transfer areas of at least 500 m2. The research has been carried out through thermal design of heat exchangers for a total of nine cases. The nine cases are real-life applications for processes covering the petrochemical, oil & gas, power, and refin
The use of bicycles in a mid-sized city – benefits and obstacles identified using a questionnaire and GIS The need for alternative means of transport is highlighted by many studies. This need can be satisfied by prioritizing the use of bicycles over the use of mechanical vehicles in daily mobility needs in a city. Here we show an investigation of ways of improving this prioritization in a middle-
Denna uppsats har undersökt ’rätten att bli glömd’, dvs. fysiska personers rättighet att be en operatör till en sökmotor att inte visa sökträffar som innehåller personuppgifter på sin resultatlista efter en sökning på personens namn. Rätten att bli bortglömd är en relativt ny grundläggande rättighet i EU-rätten, då den först etablerades den 13e Maj 2014 i målet C-131/12 Google Spain, och blev sedaThis thesis has examined the right to be forgotten; the right to have personal data erased from the search index of a search engine operator so that it is not displayed following a search on the basis of a data subject’s name. The right is fairly new, as it was first established in Case C-131/12 Google Spain on 13 May 2014 and was subsequently codified in Article 17 and 21 of the General Data Prot
Pregnancy decisions are notably connected to maternal well-being, particularly for groups disproportionately affected by unplanned and unwanted pregnancies such as adolescents. Midwives are health professionals most likely to care for a pregnant adolescent in a public healthcare setting and spend the most time with her during her pregnancy. However, there are no studies in Peru of the perceptions

Parkinson's disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, and stem cell therapy can be used to reduce patient's symptoms. In this therapy, dopamine producing neurons are transplanted into the patient's brain, after being derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). To understand current protocols for this process and to find new ones, it is necessary to understand the ge
As a part of the ongoing political debate regarding the borders within the European Union this paper aims at contributing to the knowledge around value creation within the specific service environment of passport controls in airports, characterized as being highly political. More specifically this paper, being part of the social constructivist framework, investigates what value regimes that claim
The current study sets out to investigate the narrative functions of props that take the particular form of portable communication devices (more specifically walkie-talkies and airplane phones) in Die Hard (1988) and Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990). The methodology used is the semiotic concepts of denotation and connotation with a supporting theoretical framework based on two principal forms of prop
Sierra Leone struggles with one of the world’s highest rates of teenage pregnancy. Reducing the rate of teenage pregnancy and ensuring access to education for all are key to achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls. This is not only a top priority for the government but also an essential part of ensuring the human rights of the population and achieving inclusive development, as rec
Using the data from the United Nations Development Programme survey (2004), the thesis explores whether the incidence of chronic diseases is associated with residential segregation. Possible differences are measured for Roma communities relative to the majority population living in urban residences inhabited by minority, mixed and majority groups. The sample consists of 17,669 observations from 7
