This study, which can be considered a study in political philosophy, develops the relationship between the two concepts multitude and the political. The aim is here to explore how the two concepts can be understood firstly by themselves, but also when coming together. In modernity, and most clearly in the tradition of the German legal theorist Carl Schmitt, the political was considered to belong t
Land degradation has already been treated as one of the most serious problem all around the world. This study is a GIS-based time series study which devotes to calculate annual soil loss value, seek for soil erosion trends linked with precipitation and land use in Manafwa micro-catchment, Mount Elgon region, Uganda. Two different versions of Revised Universal Soil loss Equation (RUSLE) are impleme

A healthy diet has demonstrated its effectiveness in preventing globally rising lifestyle-related diseases including type 2 diabetes. Moreover, previous researches investigating polar lipids suggest that these compounds could potentially enhance metabolic variables associated with type 2 diabetes. Consequently, the present study assessed two commercial lecithin preparations, rich in polar lipids,
When humans are involved, things can go wrong. This is a statement as factually true and yet dramatically undefined and dangerously ambiguous as any. No matter the industry or domain, where humans interact with other humans, perfect predictability is impossible and a focus on negative outcomes can seem natural. When outcomes are anything less than ideal and when these events and outcomes are made
The purpose of this study was to examine the possible interrelationships between stress, optimism, pessimism and coping strategies. A further aim was to examine the possible gender differences regarding the studies variables. Versions of the questionnaires that measure stress, optimism, pessimism and coping strategies were distributed out to 100 employees in different workplaces and answered indiv
Cheese production has increased worldwide during the last decade and is expected to increase within the coming decade as well. Despite this, the relations between cow genetics and cheese characteristics are not fully known. The aim of this study was to determine if polymorphisms in the leptin (LEP), leptin receptor (LEPR), and acyl-coenzyme A:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) genes as well
Early initiation of everolimus with calcineurin inhibitor therapy has been shown to reduce the progression of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) in de novo heart transplant recipients. The effect of de novo everolimus therapy and early total elimination of calcineurin inhibitor therapy has, however, not been investigated and is relevant given the morbidity and lack of efficacy of current protoco
Introduction: The purpose of this research was to study the influence of cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption on immune response to heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, immunoglobulin levels (Ig) and markers of systemic inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or spondylarthropathy (SpA). Methods: In total, 505 patients were vaccinated. Six pre-specified groups were enro
The relations between cow genetics and milk composition have gained a lot of attention during the past years, however, generally only a few compositional traits have been examined. The aim of this study was to determine if polymorphisms in the leptin (LEP), leptin receptor (LEPR) and acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) genes as well as genetic polymorphism of β-casein (β-CN), κ-CN an
PURPOSE: To provide estimates of the diffusional kurtosis in the healthy brain in anatomically defined areas and list these along previously reported values in pathologies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six volunteers (mean age = 33.1 years; range, 19-64 years) underwent diffusional kurtosis imaging. Mean kurtosis (MK), radial kurtosis (RK), mean diffusivity (MD), radial diffusivity (RD), and frac
Disasters exacerbate pre-existing gender inequalities, rendering women vulnerable to various forms of harm. Nevertheless, women are not victims to be protected by men; rather, they play a significant role in post-disaster recovery. Previous studies in Türkiye’s context revealed a lack of gender lens in disaster response and management. This thesis investigates the gendered experiences of women in
When an EU MS executes a state aid recovery decision, specifically those cases regarding Advance Pricing Agreements (APAs), an economic double taxation issue and a potential TP dispute may arise, which could be generated by the need for the application of a corresponding adjustment. In any case, each jurisdiction has the discretion to determine if the application of a corresponding adjustment shou
This thesis explores the increased electricity access between 2003 and 2019 in Afghanistan by employing two main explanatory variables – solar power and international involvement. The models are based on logistic regressions, investigating urban and rural areas, as well as a sample of the whole population. The data is survey data collected annually, by the Asia Foundation, throughout the country.
Having implemented a ban on plastic shopping bags with three other reinforcements of the ban over the span of two decades, Bhutan still faces the issue of plastic shopping bag overconsumption and waste, where the ban policy has been proven ineffective. Issues of plastic shopping bag consumption in Bhutan are discussed to understand the plastic shopping waste situation in the country, and different
This study examines how firms acquired in leveraged buyouts (LBOs) by private equity (PE) firms manage financial stability during macroeconomic turbulence by using investment as proxy. In an LBO, the acquisition is typically financed with substantial debt, which is placed on the balance sheet of the target firm, resulting in high leverage. A staggered Difference-in-Differences design is employed u
