This paper examines the relationship between oil prices and its pass-through to inflation and inflation differentials in the European Monetary Union from the first quarter of 1999 to the last quarter of 2021. By using local projections to derive impulse response functions of an oil price shock, the pass-through to the inflation level is examined focusing on the role of energy-related transmission
The globalisation and industrialisation of the agricultural sector made it possible to produce larger amounts of food in a faster and cheaper way than ever before, linking consumers to producers all around the planet. Although industrial food production has provided benefits for humanity in terms of access to food it is also at the root of many negative environmental and social impacts, such as bi
Bildstyrd strålterapi är en process bestående av att ta 2D eller 3D bilder under strålbehandlingens gång och används för att försäkra sig om att patienten är positionerad på samma sätt som referensbilden för att få samma dos som planerades (beräknat på referens bilden). I det här arbetet har en 3D scanning av patientens positionering jämförs med en CT referensbild för patienten. Efter matchen, somPurpose: The aim of this study is to a) study the benefits and limitations with soft-tissue match for lung cancer patients, b) evaluate five different soft-tissue match methods, c) compare soft-tissue with bony match, d) find the stable surrogates to match on for obscured malignant lymph nodes, e) calculate CTV to PTV and OAR margins and volume of PTV for the corresponding margins, and d) study th
This thesis studies the distribution of accessibility by public transport to retail concentrations and public hospitals in Athens, using spatial autocorrelation analysis based on Local Indicators of Spatial Autocorrelation (LISA) method and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). For this reason, the study area was divided in a 300x300 meter square grid of points representing the location point
The success of energy transitions in India depends on the feasibility of rapid expansion of solar power. How fast solar power can be expanded depends on its profitability, which has not been systematically analysed in prior literature. This paper answers three questions – (i) What is the profitability of utility scale solar power in six selected states in India (Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra,
Food is a fundamental human need – a physical requirement for survival. At the current historical juncture, the global food system is entangled in a web of neoliberal capitalist exchange relations and suffers from heavy dependence on fossil energy inputs. Today’s agro-industrial complex, which has evolved jointly with fossil capitalism and is organized according to its principles, is firmly entren
This thesis explores the potential of mhealth methods, seeking to understand why mhealth would be advantageous to traditional methods as a means to provide information regarding sexual and reproductive health (SRH) for youth in Kenya and what prerequisites exists for it to be successfully adopted among the youth and why. It is investigated with a qualitative approach, with the use of expert interv
Social, ecological, and cultural impacts associated with the U.S. military in Hawaii are egregious. However, due to the historical oppressions and injustices to Hawaiians, the U.S. military maintains their hegemony by wielding a disproportionate decisive political and economic power. This study aims to explore perceptions of Native Hawaiian and non-native activists regarding the military impacts a
The peace accord between the government of Colombia and the FARC-guerrilla has caught the attention of the world, not least for its deliberate focus on gender and the inclusion of women in the peace process. This essay aims to investigate the relation between theoretical outlining guidelines presented within the IDDRS framework. As to the construction of Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegrati
Fermented foods are of great importance for their extended shelf life, nutritional value, safety, health benefits and additional sensory attributes. The Lactic Acid Bacteria plays a major role in most of the fermented foods. Thereby, an indigenous fermented rice product (Neeragaram) from southern part of India was studied along with the similarly fermented oats product. The products were earlier s
The topic of energy, and particularly, the growing role of renewable energy sources in decarbonizing the economy dominates European political and research agendas. Similarly, a revived political interest in Western Balkan countries from the European Union (EU) sheds light on the longstanding efforts of legislative harmonization and the modernization, decarbonization and integration of the regional
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional disorder in the world. It is the only nutrient deficiency that is not exclusively prevalent in non-industrialized nations but also in all industrialized countries. Despite this, the treatment for the disease is inefficient, long and associated with side effects such as constipation and nausea. In recent years several studies have highlighted the diffe

I ljuset av samtida fynd inom evidensbaserad rekrytering och en uppdaterad polisprofil har Plikt- och prövningsverket reviderat urvalsprocessen till polisutbildningen. Till följd av revideringen är det okänt hur olika delar av urvalsprocessen bidrar till den samlade bedömningen av kandidaters lämplighet. Urvalsprocessen består av fem urvalsmetoder, administrerade i sekventiella steg: kognitiv förmIn light of contemporary findings in evidence-based selection and an updated police profile, the Swedish Defence Conscription and Assessment Agency (SDCAA) have made adjustments to the selection process for police training. Following the adjustments, it is yet to be evaluated how different parts of the selection process contribute to the overall assessment of candidate suitability. The selection p

Bakgrund: De senaste åren har det rapporteras om en sjunkande amningstrend i Sverige. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att i sen graviditet undersöka vilken amningsförberedelse förstföderskor erhållit, om de upplevde förberedelsen som värdefull, vilken inställning de hade till amning samt i vilken grad de kände sig trygga inför amningsstarten. Metod: En kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie där förstföderskor, i
In an effort to mitigate global climate change, the REDD+ mechanism (an acronym for ‘Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stock’) continues to be put forward as an attractive carbon sequestration and forest conservation tool. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), hosting m
The Lisbon Treaty has made Policy Coherence for Development a legal obligation for the EU, thus the Union’s has a clear institutionalised commitment to makes sure that non-aid policies are not undermining the objectives in the development policy. EU’s energy policy with the 10% target of biofuels in the transport sector have been a point of great debate. Biofuels have been contested both within th
