Obligatorisk sexualitet - Hur medikaliserande diskurs konstruerar (a)sexualitet som avvikande

Forskning kring asexualitet är fortfarande skral till sin mängd och bredd jämfört med forskning kring andra sexuella minoriteter och har dessutom till stor del uppehållit sig vid definition av asexualitet snarare än fördjupad förståelse av exempelvis asexuella narrativ. Denna uppsats ämnar utforska hur medikaliserande diskurs konstruerar (a)sexualitet som avvikande och vad sådan diskurs kan säga oResearch on asexuality is still sparse in its quantity and breadth compared to research on other sexual minorities and has also largely dwelled on the definition of asexuality rather than in-depth understanding of, for example, asexual narratives. This essay aims to explore how medicalizing discourse constructs (a)sexuality as deviant and what such discourse can say about sexuality in general thro

Mechanistic investigations of the nitrogenase enzyme

The nitrogenase reaction mechanism has been examined using several variations of QM/MM (Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical) methods. All calculations were based on a 1.0Å X-ray crystal structure and were performed with the software ComQum and Turbomole. The investigation consists of three distinct projects. First, redox potentials between different states of the P-cluster and the FeMo clus

Fire Risk and Hazard Analysis of Lithium-Ion Battery Technologies in Underground Facilities: A Literature Review

The past decades have seen an exponential growth of the lithium-ion battery (LIB) market as use of this high-energy storage has found applications in nearly every industry. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is interested in implementing this technology within their underground network and this literature review is intended to assist with addressing fire and safety concerns. Thi

Floods and landslides in the Bakokwe catchment, Rwanda: Causes, consequences, and future challenges

Vid floden Bakokwe i sydvästra Rwanda, mitt ute på landsbygden, tog vår fältstudie en plötslig vändning - punktering på vänster bakhjul. Där stod vi, mitt i landskapet som är lika vackert och iögonfallande som det är svårtillgängligt. Vägen som gett oss punktering bestod av sand, lera och stenar, och hade skadats av erosion som orsakats av kraftiga regn. Det blev för oss tydligt att både erosion oRwanda is highly exposed to floods and landslides due to intense precipitation, rapid population growth, varied topography and agricultural growth. One of the most vulnerable areas is the Nyabarongo catchment. A subcatchment of the Nyabarongo catchment, Bakokwe, was chosen as a case study for this thesis. The aim was to evaluate the causes, consequences and future challenges of floods and landslid

Designing Rush Orders’ Surcharge and Discount Scheme in Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) by Using Game Theory

Background: Despite the surcharge for the rush orders and discounts for the normal orders, some dealers of Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) in the EU region frequently make rush orders.

Avenanthramides as a means to slow rancidity development in oats

Cereal grains are an important staple in many diets across the globe. Being one of the most cultivated cereal crops worldwide, especially in Nordic countries, oats are known to have a high dietary fibre content and a nutritional value that makes them highly beneficial for human health. Avenanthramides are a group of phenolic compounds that, among other cereal grains, are only produced in oats. Ave
