Negativa hälsoeffekter, bedömning och behandlingsstrategier vid relativ energibrist hos idrottare – en litteraturstudie

Bakgrund: För elitidrottare är balansen mellan återhämtning och träning väsentlig för optimal prestation, där flera fysiska faktorer riskerar att påverkas negativt vid för låg energitillgänglighet. Det tidigare begreppet den kvinnliga idrottstriaden har utvecklats och involverar inte bara kvinnor utan också män och benämns som relativ energibrist, RED-S. Relativ energibrist har visat sig medföra f

Poverty-Related Discrimination in the European Court of Human Rights or the ‘Art of Ignoring the Poor’ – Analysing the ECtHR’s Non-Discrimination Jurisprudence Based on Sen’s Capability Approach and Fredman’s Four-Dimensional Concept of Substantive Equality

Poverty and non-discrimination law have traditionally evolved on two parallel tracks. The former has primarily been dealt with in socioeconomic terms, while the latter mainly focused on civil and political rights. Despite having the legal avenues to do so, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) remains reluctant to recognise poverty as a discrimination ground. Hence, this thesis explores the c

Impacts and drivers of insect herbivory on element cycling in forests globally

The effects of insect herbivores on forest functioning are not well understood even though they can have important impacts on ecosystem processes by intercepting foliage before resorption and depositing nutrient-rich materials to the soil. In this thesis, I investigated the impact and drivers of insect folivores on carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and silica (Si) cycling in broadleaf fores

The Value of Experience: Virtual Reality as a Form of Barrier-Free Tourism

Virtual reality (VR) has dominated technology headlines in recent years with its ability to immerse users in a virtual world. This technology is changing the tourism industry dramatically. Previously, VR has been used mainly as a marketing tool to promote services and tourist destinations. But nowadays, VR is almost an essential technology, used in many tourism organizations to provide customized

DOES FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT REDUCE POVERTY? EVIDENCE FROM LOW-INCOME AND LOW-MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES.

In the last decades, low-income and low-middle-income countries still presents high levels of poverty despite several efforts by development organizations and policy makers to reduce poverty. Specifically, this paper tests if financial depth and financial access reduces the poverty headcount ratio in 45 low-income and low-middle-income countries and compares both results to know which measure is m

Säkra hyresrätten - Lagförslag om kommunal reglering av upplåtelseformen för bostäder

Kan en enskild lag underlätta planläggningsarbetet ute i kommunerna? Hur arbetar din kommun för att bygga och bevara befintliga hyresrätter? I dagsläget uppfinner varje kommun hjulet själva, men det kan snart vara över. Ett nytt lagförslag är på ingång! Lagstiftaren vill att PBL och byggnadsbranschen blir mer förutsägbar, effektiv och smidig. Bostadskrisen har länge varit på tapeten och röster hörThe Swedish housing market faces a number of concerns. There are too few rental units with cheap rent available and the capital input to buy your own freehold title or tenant-ownership is skyrocketing. The threshold for entering the housing market is getting higher and groups such as young adults, new arrivals, disabled people, and the elderly are the ones who are the most exposed. Developers get

Into the Metaverse: How Facebook Inc. communicated their rebranding to Meta in the middle of a crisis and how it was framed in the Swedish media landscape

This study analyses how then Facebook Inc. communicated their rebranding to Meta while in the middle of their worst public relations crisis to date, as well as how the news of Meta’s rebranding was framed in the Swedish news media. Through the theoretical framework of image repair and framing, the purpose of this study is to provide deeper knowledge on the aspect of rebranding within the contex

This is our rule of law! An ethnography of the rule of law among the “No Green Pass” activists in Italy

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this thesis focuses on the bottom-up conceptualisation of the notion of rule of law, developed by a group of activists against a COVID vaccine passport enforced in Italy (so-called Green Pass), and their subsequent everyday acts of resistance. By using a multimodal digital ethnography methodology, centred on both in-person and digital informal encounters, t

Novel Technology in a Retail Space: A study of how IKEA retail space influences adoption of smart technology for the home

The objective of this thesis is to understand how a retail space could facilitate a broader adoption of a novel technology. I aim to respond to the following questions, (i) ‘What characterises the practice of operating a smart technology for the home?’, (ii) ‘Which are the main barriers to reaching out to a broader range of customers, as opposed to only the technology interested customers?’, and (

“Men vad fan ska vi göra? Vi vet ju inte, så därför följer vi folk för att förstå vad vi vill.”

Tracing the Experiences of Nigerian Women Migrants Beyond the Category of ‘Irregular’ Migration.

As globalization and development seem to have “removed geographical boundaries between countries”, the resulting patterns of human mobility (Gomory, 2002; Leach, Scoones & Stirling, 2010) have attracted the discursive study on the topic of migration. There are migration aspects that categorize migrants as regular, irregular, voluntary or involuntary. Such categorizations include the perspectiv

Pharmacist-led medication reviews in Primary Healthcare for adult community-dwelling patients – a descriptive study charting a new target group.

BackgroundMedication treatment can reduce morbidity but can also cause drug-related problems (DRPs). One method to identify and solve DRPs is medication reviews (MRs) that are aimed at increased patient safety and quality in drug treatment. In Skåne county, Sweden, a well-established multi-professional model for MRs in nursing homes is practiced. However, a demand for MRs regarding community-dwell

Effekten av olika brukningsmetoder på kolinlagring i åkermark

Hur jordbruket blir en lösning på klimatkrisen. Visste du att det lagras in cirka dubbelt så mycket kol i marken än vad det finns totalt i atmosfären? Det betyder att en liten förändring av kollagret i marken kan göra stor skillnad för koldioxidhalten i atmosfären. En ökad kolinlagring i jordbruksmark har därför pekats ut som en viktig åtgärd för att minska den globala uppvärmningen. Men vad innebIncreased carbon sequestration in agricultural land is an important measure to reduce global warming. Since the soil is a large carbon sink, a small change in the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks can make a substantial difference to the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere. An increase in SOC improves the soil health and fertility which in turn gives better yields and a more secure food supply

Political Economy in Empire / Empire in Political Economy : New Insights from Intellectual and Imperial History

For the longest of times, commerce and empire have been held to reside in perfect isolation from one another. Conceptually, peaceful commerce starkly opposed the discord of empires. In that same vein, political economy – the tool of commerce – was often considered the natural counterpart of warfare – the tool of empire. In many regards political economy was – and still is – considered an appealing

Safety and efficacy of the 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein inhibitor AZD5718 in patients with recent myocardial infarction : The phase 2a FLAVOUR study

Background: Leukotrienes are pro-inflammatory vasoactive lipid mediators implicated in the pathophysiology of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We studied the effect of the 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein inhibitor AZD5718 on leukotriene biosynthesis and coronary microvascular function in a single-blind, phase 2a study. Methods: Patients 7–28 days after myocardial infarction (±ST elevation
