Abstract The purpose with this study is to look into whether there is a difference in the reputa-tion/status of the university immigrants and native Swedes choose. The composition of stu-dents at two universities is compared, Malmö University and Lund University. The objective is to investigate whether there are more immigrants, first- and/or second generation, studying at Malmö University compare
En proglacial miljö är en integrerad del av ett glacialt landskap, där smältvattensavlagrade landformer är vanligt förekommande. Deras utseende är beroende av ett antal olika faktorer, så som processer aktiva under transport och deposition samt ursprungsmaterialets karaktär. Denna artikel syftar till att undersöka två terrestra smältvattens-successioner från de terminala delarna av glaciären MyrdaProglacial environments are an integrated part of the glacier landscape, housing a variety of landforms fed by glacier meltwater. Their appearance is dependent on a number of factors, such as the variability of source material and processes active during the transportation and deposition. The present work aims to investigate two such terrestrial outwash successions from the terminus region of the
The granite massif in the Tjärnesjö area, southwestern Sweden, was deformed and metamorphosed under granulite facies conditions in late Sveconorwegian time. The intrusive is dominated by a coarse-grained, megacrystic orthoclase granite. Pb-Pb evaporation datings on single zircons from the granite yield an age of ca. 1.36 Ga, interpreted as the intrusion age. A similar age was obtained on zircons f
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between metformin use and incident osteoarthritis (OA) in people with diabetes and the impact of dosing. DESIGN: Nested case-control study within a cohort of >1.4 million individuals from Sweden. PARTICIPANTS: Participants were aged 35-80 years in 2005, without diabetes or OA. We identified persons with incident diabetes between 2006 and 2016 and excluded tho
This thesis examines the rhetoric used on three anti corporate activist groups to draw visitors’ attention to their causes and support them and get them engaged and involved in their campaigns. In particular, global anti corporate activism is examined in this thesis, as an interesting yet not so much explored topic of research. Activists often share public relations goals, and they use more and mo
The purpose of this study is to improve the understanding of the dynamics behind Chinese-Western buyer-supplier relationships. The study takes on a partially inductive approach by commencing with exploratory in-depth interviews. The main body of the study consists of a cross-sectional survey. Data has been collected through an on-line questionnaire. The theoretical review consists of industrial re
The notion of a procedural autonomy reserved to the Member States has its roots in the Rewe and Comet judgments delivered in 1976. In those cases the European Court of Justice held that it is for the domestic systems of each Member States to designate the courts having jurisdiction and the procedural conditions governing actions at law intended to ensure the protection of the rights which subjects
One of most ancient food preservation methods is freezing because there are not caused significant changes the sensory characteristics and nutritional value of foods. Last decade, have been made great steps for the optimization of freezing tolerance of fresh vegetables, fruits and species. Cold injury occurs when the cells are exposed to temperatures lower than 0oC. Cold injury is a consequence of
Wing pigmentation in dragonflies and damselflies (odonates) functions as a secondary sexual trait with a role in courtship and antagonistic male-male interactions. Recently, a thermoregulatory function of wing pigmentation has also been suggested. This study aimed to elucidate how both sexual and natural selection have influenced the evolution and global distribution of wing pigmentation in odonat
Over the last ten years, sharing economy has become very popular among European citizens. A tremendous transaction value is generated with peers providing their services through sharing economy platforms, such as Uber and Airbnb. Due to this, the line between service providers and service recipients has become blurred, which raises challenges to the treatment of those services under the VAT Direct
In an increasingly globalized world, the contact with diverse individuals on a daily basis is unquestionable. Individuals regularly seek intercultural experiences and skills as a way to enrichen their professional and personal approaches and stand out in today’s competitive markets. This study focuses on international master students from Lund University’s School of Economics and Management (LUSEM
Fruits and leafy vegetables are the major target of pathogenic E.coli outbreaks. Usually soil and other contaminants present in the land provides easy pathway for pathogenic bacteria to enter the plant body. Later upon consumption of such infected food lead to various health problems. To overcome such outbreaks, during our study one of the leafy vegetable spinach was used as a medium to understand
This study explores the correlation between type 2 diabetes status and gut microbiota composition, diversity and functional capacity in a Swedish cohort. Using 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing metagenomic data sampled from 2161 individuals, out of which 107 also had their metagenomic data sequenced using whole genome shotgun sequencing, modern bioinformatics tools were used to extract information on t
To reach internationally agreed climate targets, it is especially important to phase out coal-powered electricity generation in favour of low-carbon technologies. Several governments have pledged to phase out coal power. However, coal phase-out is hindered by resistance of negatively affected workers, companies and regional governments. To reduce such resistance and to increase fairness within the
On the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, two countries share the same environmental and climatic pre-conditions, but show monumental differences in current forest-cover. While tropical forests are covering almost half of the Dominican Republic, Haiti is down to just a few percent. In this thesis, political ecology and earlier research is combined to formulate four hypotheses: colonial history, human
This study analyzes a no-win situation in which the Swedish public organization Socialstyrelsen were not able to achieve strategic goals, with the organizations mandate going against prevalent moral cultural ideals. When attempting to perform their mandate Socialstyrelsen was suddenly hit by an online firestorm, hurting their reputation and hindering them in performing their democratic responsibil
When critical scholars coming from different academic disciplines, such as sociology, gender studies, or Black studies, meet and discuss today, discussions sometimes take the form of whether recognition of particular identities or redistribution of material resources is of most importance. In this thesis, my aim is to explore resources that could contribute to moving beyond this framing of the que
