The thesis sheds light on the intersectional discrimination on basic education of the Rohingya refugee children in the Kutupalong unregistered camp of Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. The basic education for the refugee children is partly created through discriminatory means in the Rakhine state of Myanmar. It is further influenced by the limited education opportunities they are offered in the host coun

Syftet med avhandlingen var att undersöka och utvärdera bindningen av molekyler mot ett målprotein som är involverad i tillväxten av cancerceller. Undersökning genomfördes på Red Glead Discovery med WAC (weak affinity chromotography) som är en kromatografisk separationsmetod, där molekyler med olika vikt pumpas genom olika kolonner och retentionstiden för molekylerna i kolonnen detekteras. MolekylThe drug discovery and development process has changed dramatically during the last decades and the growth of more efficient techniques as high throughput screening combined with combinatorial synthesis using amino acids and carboxylic acids on solid support makes it possible to investigate the affinity of molecules towards a biological target. Fragment based drug discovery (FBDD) has been impleme

Syftet med den här studien har varit att tolka hur unga män i åldern 18–24 år utifrån emotionssociologisk synvinkel upplever känslan av rädsla och trygghet, och hur de utifrån ett genusperspektiv talar om känslor. Vidare har studien undersökt vad som bidrar till de unga männens känsla av rädsla och trygghet. Detta har gjorts genom en kvalitativ metod i form av fem semi strukturerade intervjuer med

Abstract The utilization of one-carbon compounds, such as methanol, as a feedstock for production of high value compounds is a fast developing area within cell factory engineering. Methanol is a cheap and easily stored compound, which can be produced from CO2 and renewable energy. Engineering microbial cell factories for utilization of methanol could therefore contribute to decreasing the amounts

Society and companies are becoming increasingly digitized. If you compare company structures historically and today you will see some palpable differences. Today, there are companies that work almost exclusively digitally. Therefore, a new focus is created on assets that lack physical form, that is intangible assets. These are dealt with today within the accounting regulations and practices, but t

In this project, calculations for the total binding energy of all even-even nuclei available from experimental data are performed using the HFBTHO program. An artificial neural network is applied to train the information obtained from the HFBTHO calculations and predict the binding energy for the nuclei. The results show impressive improvements to the HFBTHO program. In recent years, the combinati

Trots att forskningen kring transpersoner har ökat exponentiellt de senaste decennierna så vet vi fortfarande lite om den könsbekräftande vården utanför samhällets dominerande institutioner. Utifrån gruppintervjuer och självbiografiska inslag möjliggör denna uppsats en ökad förståelse för de som utför hormonbehandlingar utanför det officiella vårdsystemet. Uppsatsen fokuserar främst på hur den sveAlthough the field of transgender studies has grown exponentially during the last decades, little is still known about gender affirmative medication outside institutionalized settings. Based on group interviews and autoethnographic accounts, this thesis sheds light on the experiences of practitioners of unprescribed hormone replacement therapy. The focus will be put on how the Swedish welfare stat

The purpose of this study is to explore if and how working capital management impacts profitability in Swedish listed non-financial firms. This study is quantitative in nature and therefore naturally employs a deductive and positivistic approach to fulfil its defined purpose. A strongly balanced panel data set is collected using Thomson Reuters Datastream as the main source with the primary statis

This thesis aims to explore the role a private network of investors can play when addressing and investing in the Sustainable Development Goals. The network explored is the Sida facilitated network Swedish Investors for Sustainable Development. The network was created in 2016 and has since worked to increase the knowledge among the members regarding how they should invest more efficiently in the S

Då städerna förtätas blir det alltmer aktuellt att förlägga anläggningar under marken. För att få åtkomst till underjorden, vid t.ex. ett tunnelbygge, så konstrueras vertikala åtkomstschakt, se Figur 1. För att förhindra att schaktet rasar samman så används någon form av stödkonstruktion för att hålla emot det horisontella jordtrycket. Den geometriska utformningen av stödkonstruktionen kan på olikUrbanisation is causing densification of cities and more and more facilities are being placed in the underground to utilise the urban space as efficiently as possible. Access to the underground is obtained by constructing vertical access shafts. By constructing the shaft with a circular plan geometry, an effective construction is obtained which can carry large earth pressure loads by utilising the

This study aimed to investigate on the employees in new ventures and focused on the perceived person-job fit and person-organization fit among staff members working in Swedish and Danish start-ups. Additionally, this study intended to understand how the perceived fit affects the employees’ job satisfaction and turnover intention. Moreover, this research was interested to see whether the start-ups

This paper aims to investigate the causal relationship between maternal education and preventive behaviour. For this purpose, I consider the education reform implemented in Zimbabwe in 1980 that enabled students at age 15 and below to participate in secondary education. By using this age cutoff as an exogenous exposure to the education policy, I obtain causal estimates of schooling on health outco

The thesis aims to explore the role of movements in elaborating alternative development. Through the qualitative approach, the study investigates the Development Justice movement in the Asia Pacific region as a case study. The document analysis and semi-structured interview reveal how the movement had built and formulated its demands in relation to mainstream development. The study is theoreticall

The objective of this study is twofold. First, the research tries to address whether the selected 13 African countries have gained a comparative advantage on labour-intensive industry (i.e. textile and apparel sector) for the period 1995-2017. The study employs Balassa’s Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) indices to address this objective. Second, it attempts to investigate whether there is an e

Central to the field of agrarian political economy, is rural development and capitalism’s advancement in the countryside and its consequences for the peasantry, ‘the agrarian question’. With the present case study, I examine the interplay between social relations of production and agrarian change in eastern Bolivia. Using the case study of Ramada, a small indigenous community, this dissertation in

The main objective of this paper is to assess the impact of migration on exports as well as imports, and more specifically, the effect of the Iranian diaspora on trade between their home and host countries. The lifting of the economic sanctions, which was followed after the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action”, on Iran throughout 2016 and 2017 is used as a natural experiment to analyse if there is

The purpose of the study is to investigate how staff in the home care service in a medium-sized municipality experience that control and surveillance affect their professional practice. The survey method was qualitative semi-structured interviews with five employees in the home care service in a medium-sized municipality in Sweden. The results have been analyzed through theories of disciplinary po

The concept of Industry 4.0 is widely discussed among scholars and business leaders alike. Being able to adapt to this fourth industrial revolution is argued by many as necessary to stay competitive and to be profitable. Many companies today, however, have production lines built on legacy systems, as well as their own unique product challenges. This study aims to overcome these challenges by explo

Standardmodellen är teorin som beskriver tre utav de fyra fundamentala naturkrafterna, och Standardmodellens komplettering har hittills varit partikelfysikens största prestation. Modellen integrerar fysikens mest elementära partiklar och deras interaktioner till en och samma teori. Den kan exempelvis beskriva universums tillstånd en kort stund efter den stora smällen, eller varför protonen inte kaDark matter is the greatest mystery of modern particle physics and cosmology. Although an overwhelming amount of observational cosmological evidence has pointed towards a dark sector, only its gravitational effect has been experimentally confirmed. Currently, no other properties of dark matter are known, including its mass, interactions else than gravitational and potential mediators between dark
