Dryland livestock production systems are changing in many parts of the world, as a result of growing human populations and associated pressure on water and land. Based on a combination of social and natural science methods, we studied a 30-year transformation process from pastoralism to a livestock-based agro-pastoral system in northwestern Kenya, with the overall aim to increase the understanding
The first attempt to apply electrochemotherapy (ECT) to the brain was reported in 1993 by Salford et al. 1993 (1). They managed to significantly prolong the survival of RG2 glioma bearing Fischer-344 rats by 200% by iv administration of bleomycin followed by intracranial electrochemotherapy with exponential decaying pulses. In collaboration with the department of tumor immunology, Lund University,
Objective - Degradation of extracellular matrix plays an important role in growth and destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques. Cystatin C, inhibitor of the collagen- and elastin-degrading cysteine proteases of the cathepsin family, is produced by virtually all cell types. It is present in the normal artery wall but severely reduced in human atherosclerotic lesions. Methods and Results - To dete
Under början av 1900-talet införde alla nordiska länder, förutom Norge, en möjlighet för frihetsberövade kvinnor att medföra sitt spädbarn i anstalten under straffverkställigheten. Regleringarna grundades på arvsbiologiska aspekter, då det var vanligt att de små barnen fortfarande ammades av sina mödrar och de var beroende av modersmjölken för att överleva. Med tiden har dock regleringarnas syfte In the beginning of the 20th century all Nordic countries except Norway introduced a possibility for imprisoned women to bring their infants with them during their sentence. The legislation was considered necessary due to the fact that the infant still was breast-fed by their mother. Child psychologist and psychoanalysist John Bowlby (from Great Britain) developed the affiliation theory during th
Sammanfattning Skatteverket kan företa revisioner hos i huvudsak bokföringsskyldiga skattskyldiga, i regel näringsidkare, för att granska riktigheten av de uppgifter som lämnats till Skatteverket i deklarationer och kontrolluppgifter. Vid dessa revisioner granskas den skattskyldiges bokföring och andra underlag för att stämmas av mot de uppgifter som lämnats till Skatteverket. Skatteverket kan äSummary The Swedish Tax Agency is authorized to carry out audits, mainly with accountable taxable’s, normally corporations, in order to scrutinize the accuracy of the information that has been submitted to the Swedish Tax Agency through income tax returns and statements of earnings. In such audits the taxable’s accounting and other materials are compared against the information that has been submi
The aim of this thesis has been to implement a computer program capable of modelling radial compressors. The work was conducted at the Division of Thermal Power Engineering, Department of Energy Sciences at the Faculty of Engineering, Lund University. With such a large field as radial compressors, some decomposition of the subject was necessary. This thesis focuses on modelling the impeller and di

Increasing demand for higher data rates in wireless communication systems has tremendously evolved over the last years. This demand is rapidly increasing with rising in number of wireless devices. Advanced antenna systems (AAS) – known as massive MIMO – is one of the central enabling radio technologies for 5G cellular systems that significantly increase the data rates provided for data-hungry appl

Ett barn med funktionsnedsättning kan ansöka om bistånd för att avlasta föräldrarna i vårdnadsansvaret. Vid bedömning om bistånd ska beviljas eller inte, ska beslutsfattaren bedöma föräldraansvarets omfattning. Föräldraansvaret är ett begrepp som syftar till att jämföra det ansvar en förälder till ett barn med funktionsnedsättning har och det ansvar en förälder till ett barn utan funktionsnedsättnA child with functional impairment can apply for social assistance in order to relieve their parents from the responsibility of care to either Social Services Act (2011:453) (SoL) or Support and Service for Person with Certain Functional Impairments act (1993:387) (LSS). During the assessment of whether the social assistance shall be granted or not, the decision-making officer must assess the scop
Under the growing influence of dominant discourses such as ecological modernisation and neo- liberalisation, proposed alternative conservation approaches focus more and more on efficiency. In the realm of biodiversity conservation, synthetic biology - the application of engineering to facilitate and accelerate the design or modification of genetic materials in living organisms – has emerged as an
Sweden has a vision of building a sustainable society. To reach this vision a number of goals, such as transportation political goals, regional goals and environmental goals, have been set. One way to reach the aforementioned transportation political goals for a good and safe traffic environment is to increase the use of public transport and thereby reduce the need for people to use their car.

Uppsatsen analyserar huruvida papperslösa arbetare kan göra tre arbetsrättsliga rättigheter – rätt till lön, föreningsrätt och rätt till skydd från diskriminering – gällande gentemot sina arbetsgivare. Den första frågeställningen är rättsutredande: ”Omfattar rättigheterna papperslösa, och i så fall i vilken grad och på vilket sätt inverkar migrationsrättsliga regler på tillämpligheten av rättighet
Human Rights Accountability är en egenskap i relationen mellan styrande och medborgare. När egenskapen existerar förhindrar den människorättskränkningar genom att medborgarna får inflytande över beslutfattande. Begreppet behöver klargöras för att nå sitt fulla potential som verktyg för planering och analys eftersom missförståelse kan ha farliga konsekvenser i misslyckandet att förebygga politiskt Human Rights Accountability is a property of the relationship between rulers and citi-zens. When it exists, it prevents violations of Human Rights by enabling citizens to in-fluence decision-making. The concept needs clarification in order to reach its full poten-tial as a tool for planning and analysis. Misunderstanding can have dangerous conse-quences in the failure to prevent political violence
The right to health for persons with disabilities in the global South is far from being realized. The 2011 World Report on Disability suggests that the majority of persons with disabilities live in low- and middle-income countries. Further studies suggest that around 80% of persons with disabilities in global South countries report poor health. With this in mind, this thesis will focus on the righ
In response to growing social injustices in cities, bottom-up initiatives are increasingly recognised as sites of resistance and experimentation. I examine how the PARKS project in Hamburg, a temporary, collectively governed green space, challenges neoliberal urban development and envisions socially just green spaces. Adopting a case study approach, I draw on semi-structured interviews, participan
Stålindustrin står för ungefär 7-8% av världens växthusgasutsläpp, och fordonsindustrin är en av dess viktigaste kunder. Fordonstillverkare som Volvo, Mercedes och Scania möter idag hårdare krav på att minska utsläppen i sina försörjningskedjor, genom regelverk i EU som förändras snabbt och ett växande tryck att ansvara för sina koldioxidavtryck. I detta sammanhang har grönt stål blivit en strategThe steel sector accounts for approximately 7-8% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the automotive industry stands for a large part of its customer base. As Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), such as Volvo, Mercedes and Scania etc., face tightening Scope 3 emission targets, evolving EU regulatory frameworks, and growing pressure to decarbonise their supply chains, the question of
The realisation that climate change will have serious effects on human life has activated the wider human rights community, which is now searching for an entrance into the global issue of our time. So far, most efforts by human rights practitioners have been concentrated on the overarching problem of global injustice, which relates to the right to development. However, in estimating the effects
