In 2018 the South Korean Supreme Court declared the Military Service Act unconstitutional and mandated that the National Assembly implement an alternative service for those who object to military service for moral or religious reasons. This ruling is a reversal from previous cases dealing with the same issue. Using theories of institutional change, this paper investigates the evolution of the judi
The spread of invasive alien species poses great risks for biodiversity, human health and economies. Impatiens glandulifera, an invasive alien plant which has been listed in The European list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern, is widely spread in Sweden. Multiple studies have been made regarding the plant’s characteristics, spread and impacts on invaded areas. The purpose of this study i
This paper explores how electrical appliances, together with the idea of attaining energy access in the near future, create hope in a northern village in Malawi. Even though less than one per cent of the rural population has energy access, some of these locals already own solar systems. Nevertheless, their solar equipment is not powerful enough to generate the large amounts of energy required to r
Worldwide inequality in the circulation of vaccines during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic re-ignited the ever-existing turmoil between rich, developed nations and poor, developing nations on the role of intellectual property (IP) against the fundamental right to health. The World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) contribute to making medicinal products and dia
Verksamhetsberättelse i korthet 2014 | Lunds universitets bibliotek 2 verksamhetsberättelse i korthet Inledning Lunds universitets biblioteks (LUB) verksamhet är stor och mångfacetterad, och att beskriva den i en verksam- hetsberättelse är som att titta länge och djupt i ett kalej- doskop. Wikipedia definierar ett kalejdoskop som ”en tub försedd med speglar som reflekterar föremål, till exempel fä

Even though the first coronavirus pandemic was registered in 1965, SARS-CoV-2 was better acknowledged when it caused the worldwide pandemic in 2019 in which millions of individuals lost their lives. Due to its facile way of spreading from one individual to another, the number of infected cases has gone up to more than 750 million to this day. DENV is a very dangerous virus due to its asymptomatic
During the production of Tetra Pak’s packaging material, holes are cut for straws and caps, generating paperboard scraps known as confetti. These scraps must be removed from the machinery to prevent build-up and potential blockages. To design efficient extraction systems, experiments and simulations are employed to understand the phenomena of confetti transport. Confetti are introduced into a simp
Sjöfartsindustrin står för närvarande inför ett paradigmskifte i och med framväxandet av Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS). Dessa fartyg är utformade för att verka autonomt, utan mänsklig närvaro ombord. Den nuvarande rättsliga strukturen inom sjörätten bygger emellertid på antagandet att människor befinner sig ombord på fartygen, vilket har lett till uppkomsten av rättsliga frågor och osäkThe shipping industry is currently at the beginning of a transformative shift with the introduction of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS). With MASS, ships will function without the need for humans onboard. However, the current legal framework within maritime law is built on the premise that humans are in fact onboard ships. Therefore, legal questions and uncertainties have risen alongside t
Despite previous studies extensively focusing on the domestic aspects of the Thai radical and left-wing movement, Thai left-wing publications, and its cultural politics, little is known about the comparative and transnational perspectives. This thesis examines the Thai Leftist Movement and its articulations from the 1970s to the early 1980s in Thailand and Europe, demonstrating how translation pla
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
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
Dark matter is the problem of apparent missing mass in the universe, a discrepancy between observations of large-scale astronomical dynamics, and the observed matter density in large scale structures. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed experiment to probe the realm of “light dark matter" in the mass range MeV to GeV. Light dark matter refers to a class of models where a new
The diffusion equation is a partial differential equation that describes how quantities such as heat, particles, or other diffusive substances spread out over time and space. This type of equation can be, at often times, quite challenging to solve analytically. Finding the exact solution is often difficult due to the com- plexity of the functions involved. This thesis focuses on solving the diffus
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
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to find out what pharmaceutical companies are doing in exploitation and exploration to improve R&D productivity. This research will also investigate the implications of management and control theories in combining exploration and exploitation in the context of pharmaceutical R&D. Methodology: Multiple case study interviews. Theoretical perspective
This paper focuses on the Danish ecovillage by the name of Svanholm, with a special attention to how different areas of sustainability is being understood and carried out in practice in the ecovillage. Through a long-term fieldwork and anthropological methods herein, the paper seeks to understand Svanholm with all its possibilities as well as challenges, whether it be in a technical, environmental
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
Studien undersöker effekter av social distansering och distansundervisning under COVID-19-pandemin bland universitetsstudenter och gymnasieelever i Sverige och Norge. Studier som genomförts under det senaste året visar att studenter har påverkats negativt av pandemin men det finns ingen jämförande forskning mellan de två till synes liknande länderna. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det fanThe study investigates the effects of social distancing and online education during the COVID-19 pandemic on university students and high school students in Sweden and Norway. Through studies conducted in the last year it appears that students have been negatively affected by the pandemic but there is no comparative research between the two nations. The purpose of the study was to discern if there
