Numerous papers and studies have shown that the rainforests are experiencing a decline in biodiversity. The rainforests are getting depleted of larger primates and this poses a problem for the trees as many of them rely on primates and other seed dispersers to distribute their seeds. These empty forests are spreading, but does that mean that everything is hopeless? This study aims to investigate t
Denna studie handlar om vårt förhållningssätt till ny teknik i allmänhet och Internet of things i synnerhet. Vad ställer det för krav på tillit från vår sida, för att Internet of things (IoT) ska fungera? Vilka risker är förenade med användning av IoT? Hur ska vi hantera det faktum att själlösa föremål kommer att prata med varandra om allt vi företar oss och sedan mediera detta? För att får svar pThis study is about our approach to new technology in general and the Internet of things in particular. What does it require regarding trust from our side, in order for Internet of Things (IoT) to work? What risks are associated with the use of IoT? How should we handle the fact that mindless objects will talk to each other about all we do and then mediate this? In order to get answers to the reas
There are many opportunities for designers and manu- facturers to change consumer behaviour – an important and necessary step towards a less wasteful way of living. I see a need for an example product which could empathise keeping instead of changing. An extensive deep-dive into the psychology surrounding the subject keeping was conducted. This, in combination with own reflections on how fut
Surrogatarrangemang blir ett allt vanligare sätt att skapa en familj. På grund av det så får fenomenet ett allt större fokus i media, där människor ifrågasätter förfarandets etiska aspekter. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur surrogatarrangemang konstruerades i den svenska dagspressen, med fokus på normalitet i följande teman: familjeformationer, moderskap och barns rättigheter. Metoden som
Syftet med studien är att få en inblick i hur två musiklärare på olika skolor utformar musikundervisningen i årskurs 9 för att eleverna ska klara av kunskapskraven. Samtidigt undersöks vad fyra elever ifrån årskurs 9 har för åsikter kring visad kunskap och kunskapskrav. Studiens frågeställningar är: A) Hur utformas musikundervisningen för att lärarna ska kunna bedöma elevernas kunskaper? B) VilkenThe purpose of this thesis is to get an insight into how two music teachers in different schools structure their music education in year 9, so that the students are offered possibilities to achieve the knowledge requirements. At the same time four students in year 9 were examined and questioned about their opinion regarding shown knowledge and the knowledge requirements for the music course. The q
Bli min vän! En studie om e-handlares relationsbyggande på Facebook Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka om e-handlare arbetar med relations-marknadsföring på Facebook på ett likvärdigt sätt som individer upprätthåller en vänskapsrelation i samma kanal. Metod: Antar ett tolkande perspektiv, en innehållsanalys och kvalitativa semi-strukturerade intervjuer tillämpas. Slutsats: RelationsmarBe my friend! A study about e-tailers relationship building on Face-book Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate whether e-tailers are working with relationship marketing on Facebook in an equivalent manner as individuals maintain a friendship in the same channel. Methodology: Assuming an interpretive perspective, a content analys and qualitative semi-structured interviews has been appl
The aim of this study was to investigate and illuminate preschool pedagogues working approach with bilingual children and their families in preschool. Our common interest in this subject emerged in that we both have young children in preschool and that we have two different backgrounds in two different cultures. Data collection for this study has been carried out through qualitative methods with e
The aim of this comparative study is to examine difficulties in translation of stylistic levels in children's literature from Swedish to Modern Standard Arabic. The study concentrates on one chapter from the famous and in its time controversial children's book about Pippi Långstrump and the Arabic translation of the same chapter. The essay starts with discussing different norms and linguis
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is an enzyme and key component of both 15 class-switch recombination and somatic hypermutation, two mechanisms used by activated B 16 cells to diversify their antigen repertoire, as it catalyzes the deamination of deoxycytidines turning 17 them into deoxyuridines, introducing mutations in immunoglobulin genes. AID, however, can also 18 target enhancer re
Malmö city has decided to change their routines regarding aid to housing. The routines now contain a division between who is entitled to get aid from social services and who is not, that is between people in social homelessness and people in structural homelessness. Prior to the change, this division did not exist. The aim of this study was therefore to explore how the governing documents legitimi
This study will examine the practices and semiotic structures within the Jewish community in Malmö, linked to the last three years of conflict situations. In the media, Malmö has been described as a problematic city for people with a Jewish heritage, to live in. Swedish, as well as international media caught a big attention to this new conflict. In the aftermath of the articles the situation was l
After the Arab spring, states in the MENA-region that were enrolled in the popular uprisings are now entering different settings. Some have been more successful, and reaching all the way to democratic consolidation. Others like Egypt are currently experiencing severe backlashes. In this post revolution context, time is starting to run out for an escape out of the transitional maze. Tunisia is not
Previous reaserch has indicated that the almoners position in the somatic hospital hierarchy is poor. The purpose of this study was to investigate the position of the almoner in the hospital hierarch today, together with what this position is based upon. The questions at issue were: - Has the almoners position in the hospital hierarchy changed, or is it still poor? - In what way can the almoner
Background: Adolescent pregnancy and associated neonatal mortality are major global health challenges. In low-income settings where 90% of the 21 million global adolescent pregnancies occur, half are unintended and a fifth experience unsafe abortion. In Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, the survival patterns of neonates born to adolescents are unclear.Objectives: To assess survival patterns among neona
There is substantial genetic predisposition to bladder cancer (BC). Recently, blood pressure (BP) was positively associated with BC risk in men, but the potential interaction with genetic susceptibility for BC is unknown. We investigated a weighted genetic risk score (wGRS) of 18 BC genetic variants, BP, and their interaction, in relation to incident urothelial cancer (UC, n = 385) risk in 10,576
The discovery of genetic loci associated with complex diseases has outpaced the elucidation of mechanisms of disease pathogenesis. Here we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for coronary artery disease (CAD) comprising 181,522 cases among 1,165,690 participants of predominantly European ancestry. We detected 241 associations, including 30 new loci. Cross-ancestry meta-analysis with a
Aim: To determine whether pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 levels are increased in early pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes and whether gestation age influences levels. The possible use of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 as a pre-screening biomarker to reduce the need for performing oral glucose tolerance tests in pregnant women was also investigated. Methods: Pregnant wo
Background: Sepsis is a leading cause of death worldwide and a major challenge for physicians to predict and manage. Proenkephalin A 119-159 (penKid) is a reliable surrogate marker for the more unstable endogenous opioid peptide enkephalin, which has previously been shown to predict both acute and chronic kidney disease. The aim of this prospective observational study was to assess penKid as a pre
