This thesis is written as an introductory compilation of two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) and its applications. It introduces the concepts of 2DES where the aim is to provide an overview of the technique and a few of its more prominent applications for those who are not already familiar with the technique. 2DES is a third-order optics technique that utilizes three interactions with l

In light of the growing “coherence” between humanitarianism and political actions in today’s world, does aid remain conducive to socio-economic improvement, or does it inhibit the ushering of much needed change? In the context of this study, the besieged population of Gaza organized large weekly demonstrations known as the Great Return March (2018-2020) to demand their basic political, economic an

Although the Bangsamoro peace-process in the Southern Philippines has been valued for its gender commitments and potential to build just and sustainable peace, discrimination of the Bangsamoro peoples and other minorities prevail. This thesis uncovers how women peace advocates understand social justice and its remedies in the context of the Bangsamoro peace-process, and which opportunities they ha

Sinusitis is a common disease caused by a virus or bacteria, with 84% to 91% of cases caused by a viral pathogen. However, physicians prescribe antibiotics for this disease in 85% of all cases. GPX Medical is a company working on the development of a medical device which, by means of absorption spectroscopy, can determine whether the disease is caused by virus or bacteria supporting, thus, the doc

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a form of contract farming are increasing in number across Sub-Saharan Africa; providing a potential solution to the threat of food insecurity and stimulant of economic growth. Yet, the perceived extent to which the operations of contract-farming PPPs include original smallholders – inclusivity - is often questioned. There is currently little evidence of the e

The thesis studies the situation within Lund University in relation to the implementation of the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG) developed by The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA). The aim of the study is to answer the following research question “How have Lund University implemented the European Standards and Guidelines developed by The European Associa

Nuvarande reglering av säkerhet i lös egendom i Sverige bygger, med undantag för några lagstiftningsåtgärder, på rättspraxis och juridisk doktrin. Även om pantsättning är huvudmetoden för att ställa säkerhet, används i praktiken flera olika typer av säkerhetsrätter då lagstiftaren infört separata registersystem (t.ex. företagshypotek) och då äganderätt i praktiken ofta används som säkerhet (t.ex. Present Swedish law concerning security over movable assets is largely based on case law and legal literature, with some statutory intervention. Although the principal form of security is the possessory pledge, various security devices are used in practice, pursuant to legislative introductions of separate registration systems (e.g. floating charges) and the commercial use of ownership for securit

This thesis provides an insight into Jamaica’s energy situation and its electricity sector through the barriers that prevent the implementation of renewable energy. In both the energy sector and electricity sub-sector the need to incorporate alternative energy sources, it has revealed, is becoming more apparent with increasing oil prices, widening debt burdens and rising unemployment, among others

This researchʼs foundation is the current state of affairs in Kiribati in relation to the effects of climate change and how the nation will face the future. The paper examines how different actors in Kiribati are helping the country prepare for possible climate change displacement in the future, from the viewpoint of said actors. Interview data, supplemented by observational data from time spent i

BACKGROUND: Each year, more than 1.5 million people in Europe have a stroke, and many experience disabilities leading to activity and participation restrictions. Home-based rehabilitation is the recommended approach for stroke rehabilitation, in line with the international shift to integrated care. Despite this, rehabilitation often focuses on the person's physical functions, not the whole life si

Purpose: We aimed to illuminate the lived experiences and the path of recovery for adults sustaining a hip fracture before the age of 60. Methods: Participants were purposively sampled from a prospective multicenter cohort study in Sweden and Denmark, and narrative interviews were conducted with 19 individuals 0.7–3.5 years after the fracture. We used a phenomenological hermeneutic method to descr

A search for Higgs boson pair production via vector-boson fusion (VBF) in the bb¯ bb¯ final state is carried out with the ATLAS experiment using 126 fb−1 of proton- proton collision data delivered at s = 13 TeV by the Large Hadron Collider. This search is sensitive to VBF production of additional heavy bosons that may decay into Higgs boson pairs, and in a non-resonant topology it can constrain th

V&S Sundsvall (a part of V&S Vin & Sprit AB) is a Swedish company producing different alcoholic beverages, mainly for the Swedish market. The company has lately paid increasing attention to supply chain disruption risk issues. In another study, one of the authors (Paulsson 2007) developed a model, called the DRISC (Disruption Risks In Supply Chains) model, for the structuring, evaluati

A search for Higgs boson pair production [Formula: see text] is performed with 19.5 fb[Formula: see text] of proton-proton collision data at [Formula: see text] TeV, which were recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. The decay products of each Higgs boson are reconstructed as a high-momentum [Formula: see text] system with either a pair of small-radius jets or a single
