Morocco’s occupation of Western Sahara is being justified by Morocco attracting investments to the Western Sahara territory without the consent of the people of Western Sahara. This comes with numerous human rights violations, to which the investments contribute. The prevalence of human rights and the conditionality for it in investment treaties has been discussed by scholars and proven to be near
The purpose of this research was to examine existing governance arrangements within the Australian federal public service and possible improvements for managing systemic risks at a national level. While there has been greater attention and discussion on systemic risks recently, research on how to govern systemic risk remains in its infancy. Where systemic risk governance is discussed, it is genera
Böcker och läsning är ett centralt motiv i berättelsen om Jane Eyre (1847), vilket på många sätt bidrar till framställningen av karaktärisering, världsbygge och narrativets framfart. Det finns särskilt samband mellan framställningen av böcker och läsning och framställningen av makt och maktdynamiker i Jane Eyre. Tidigare forskning om böcker och läsepraktiker i Jane Eyre har fokuserat på den allusiBooks and reading are a central motif within the narrative of Jane Eyre (1847) by Charlotte Brontë and contributes in many ways to the depiction of characterisation, world-building, and the progression of the narrative. In particular, there are correlations between the depiction of books and reading and the depiction of power and power dynamics in Jane Eyre. Previous research into books and readin
In this thesis, a fault detection and diagnosis system is developed for the Crazyflie 2.1 unmanned aerial vehicle. Different types of faults are investigated and suitable methods and tests are implemented. The system is mainly developed for the lighthouse positioning, but the tests and methods are generic and suitable for other parts of the Crazyflie eco-system. For the faults investigated, differ
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent psychiatric condition and poses a significant burden on public health. The underlying causes and mechanisms of depression remain poorly understood. There is a growing body of evidence linking microRNAs (miRNAs) to major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the causal relationship between miRNAs and MDD remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate t
High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) accounts for most ovarian cancer deaths, due to it often being diagnosed at late stages (III and IV). However, there is currently no early screening method sufficient for improving survival rates. HGSC primarily harbors structural variants, typically copy number (CN) aberrations caused by homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). CN can be calculated based on re
Cultural values and beliefs within the jazz community have intrigued social scientists for a long time. Being one of the oldest recognised subcultures, jazz has been celebrated for its socio-political ambitions as well as the complexity and aesthetics of the music itself. Being recognised as an outlet for fighting social injustices throughout history, the notable exclusion of female jazz musicians
The Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus) faces imminent endangerment due to climate change resulting in the declining population of its primary prey, the European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). With ongoing environmental shifts, this threat intensifies, heightening the risk of extinction for the species. The aim of this study was to explore a potential conservation strategy; the possibility of relocating
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of sustainable packaging for cosmetics on consumers within Europe. Methodology: Literature Review, Case Studies, Online Survey Findings: The research conducted exemplifies that sustainable packaging of cosmetic products impacts European consumers’ perception of brand image and influences purchasing decisions. Four key factors from the
Frontex spelar en avgörande roll för att skydda mänskliga rättigheter genom sin direkta kontakt med migranter. Denna studie undersöker hur Frontex beskriver risker för migranter och hur denna beskrivning har förändrats under det senaste decenniet. Studien analyserar tre av Frontex årliga riskanalysrapporter genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys med en teoretisk ram om mänsklig säkerhet. Resultaten vFrontex plays a crucial role in protecting human rights through its direct contact with migrants. This study examines how Frontex describes risks to migrants and how this description has changed over the past decade. The study analyses three of Frontex's annual risk analysis reports through a qualitative content analysis with a theoretical framework on human security. The results show that Fro
Poly(vinyl chloride) has a long history of use in the flooring industry. Throughout the years, several environmental and health issues have arisen concerning the production, usage and disposal of PVC. Forbo Flooring Systems is a company striving to provide environmentally friendly products for their customers, and therefore has an investigation of alternative polymers to PVC been initiated. The ai
Consumers evaluate each step of their journey, which influences consumer’s expectations for further experiences and future intentions. Accordingly, past experiences are stored in consumers’ memory but each part of the journey will not be remembered. What drives further behaviours and intentions are the events of the experience that are considered more emotional and atypical, also called peaks. The
Tropical rainforests cover large parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo. In light of recent surges in deforestation in the country, protected areas are a decisive component of the national conservation strategy. Intended to preserve ecosystems, the way in which these areas are organized can have vital implications for people who reside within them through the changes they cause to environmental
In this thesis work, the design challenges of building a robust Battery Management System with the existing solutions are discussed highlighting the communication within the battery pack. The initial plan of this master thesis work was to investigate wireless BMS technologies and to implement a wireless BMS, as a demo prototype for three segments with wired BMS for a full 7.2 kWh battery pack. Aft
Traditionell biologisk näringsavskiljning inom avloppsvattenrening, såsom denitrifikation och biologisk fosforavskiljning (EBPR), kräver tillgång på lättnedbrytbart kol för att bra reningsgrad ska uppnås. Dock är en stor andel av kolet i det inkommande avloppsvattnet partikulärt och måste hydrolyseras innan det blir tillgängligt för bakterierna i den biologiska reningen. Flera studier har studeratTraditional biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes in wastewater treatment require access to easily biodegradable carbon in order to achieve sufficient removal. However, a lot of the carbon in the influent wastewater is not directly available for BNR bacteria but need to undergo hydrolysis first. Several studies have investigated the possibility to produce an internal carbon source from the g
Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur det fysiska och det digitala flödet för sterilhantering av instrument kombineras på ett sjukhus. Detta för att kunna utläsa hur dessa två flöden stödjer varandra mot riskförebyggande för att tillgodose behoven för ett framgångsrikt tjänstemöte.
Strategic communication as an integrating discipline addresses social phenomenon as migration. When people relocate, they experience physical and mental stress, and seek guidance, questioning their sense of belonging. Authentic communication based on feminist values aims to build long-lasting relations and reach social inclusion by conducting more sensitive communication. This thesis explores the
Denna uppsats undersöker rättsläget för bostadshyresgästernas besittningsskydd och när den aktualiseras. Bostadshyresgäster har ett förstärkt skydd gentemot hyresvärden för att inte frånskiljas från sin bostad utan saklig grund. Detta skydd förlänger bostadshyresgästernas hyresavtal. Dock finns det vissa undantag som sätter besittningsskyddsreglerna ur spel. Vidare kan parterna sinsemellan avtala
The aim of the project was to develop a methodology for the chromatographic analysis able to identify the key odorants in meaty food products. The approach was based on the analysis of an already in market product and the theoretical background of the meaty flavors sensorially. Firstly, a custom-made flavor was created for the experiments covering as much as possible a broad area of compounds prec
