Stora företag i västvärlden har de senaste åren i ökad takt inkorporerat social rättvisa (jämställdhet, HBTQ+ rättigheter, rättvisa i rasfrågan) och miljörättvisa i deras marknadsföring och reklam. Modebranschen är en av de branscher som har använt sig särskilt mycket av social rättvise-symbolik. Denna avhandling fokuserar på artikulationer av miljö, genus, och ras genom en studie av hållbarhet ocThe corporatisation of social justice (gender justice, LGBTQI+ rights, racial justice) and environmental justice ideals in the last decades has grown immensely in western countries, exemplified by rainbow-clad ATM’s during Pride month or Nike using images of NFL player Kaepernick’s anti-racism protest action of taking a knee during the USA national anthem in a marketing campaign. One of the indust

Potential harm to human rights and the environment, including by corporate actors, is amplified in situations of conflict. This article focuses on applying the right to a healthy environment in relation to armed conflicts and corporate responsibility. In particular, it analyzes and compares due diligence requirements in the European Union Conflict Minerals Regulation and the International Law Comm

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally. Novel therapeutics is urgently needed to advance treatment, especially for generalized disease where current treatment options have a poor prognosis. In particular, targeted therapy that can address genetic changes would be of great value. RNA interference is an evolutionary conserved gene regulatory mechanism that can be used by introducing e

Objective: To review and highlight progress in otitis media (OM) research in the areas of immunology, inflammation, environmental influences and host-pathogen responses from 2019 to 2023. Opportunities for innovative future research were also identified. Data sources: PubMed database of the National Library of Medicine. Review methods: Key topics were assigned to each panel member for detailed rev

Circulating concentrations of metabolites (collectively called kynurenines) in the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism increase during inflammation, particularly in response to interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). Neopterin and the kynurenine/tryptophan ratio (KTR) are IFN-γ induced inflammatory markers, and together with C-reactive protein (CRP) and kynurenines they are associated with various disea

Neural induction by cell-cell signaling was discovered a century ago by the organizer transplantations of Spemann and Mangold in amphibians. Spemann later found that early dorsal blastopore lips induced heads and late organizers trunk-tail structures. Identifying region-specific organizer signals has been a driving force in the progress of animal biology. Head induction in the absence of trunk is

Welfare capitalism has developed in the context of rapidly expanding, fossil fuel-driven industrial economies. Faced with the urgent need for systematic changes of economic systems so that they stay within planetary limits, decoupling welfare from economic growth is an important task. This chapter introduces the concept of sustainable welfare, referring to welfare systems that prioritise the satis

Background: Home oxygen therapy (HOT) improves survival in patients with hypoxaemic chronic respiratory disease. Most patients evaluated for HOT are former or active smokers. Oxygen accelerates combustion and smoking may increase the risk of burn injuries and fire hazards; therefore, it is considered a contraindication for HOT in many countries. However, there is variability in the practices and p

Does the use of translation exercises lead to enhanced L2 morphosyntactic accuracy? This paper presents some of the findings from a longitudinal, experimental project investigating the effect of translation as an L2 teaching/learning method on the morphosyntactic accuracy of advanced Swedish (L1) learners of English (L2). The subjects were first-year students of English at a Swedish university, an

Varför är det viktigt att skapa arkitektur med utgångspunkt i kärlek? Vad innebär det att värdera arkitektur utifrån ett icke-mänskligt perspektiv? Och hur kan hemslöjd lära oss att förhålla oss till vår värld med mer omsorg? Det här examensarbetet undersöker hur vi kan visa mer omsorg för och med arkitektur och argumenterar för att care, eller omsorg, behöver integreras som en självklar del i prWhy is it important to create architecture on the basis of love? What does it mean to value architecture from a non-human perspective? And how can handicraft (hemslöjd) make us relate to our world with more care? This degree project examines how we can show more care towards and through architecture, and argues that care needs to be integrated as an evident part of architecture practice. Through

Problem Definition: Ericsson wants to increase their focus on reducing the total cost of packaging for the company in the whole world. They want to create a simple calculation model that can calculate the total packaging cost and compare different packaging solutions (country, freight, packaging, and product) in order to find the most cost effective packaging solution. This will facilitate the dev

Stroke remains a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, making effective recovery critical for minimizing residual impairments. Given the limited scope of pharmacological interventions in the post-stroke recovery phase, effective non-pharmacological strategies are essential for supporting better prognosis. One experimental approach to enhancing recovery in rodent models is environmental

This project seeks to contribute to the ongoing shift in how we respond to climate change—approaching it with the urgency it demands. It is located in Vienna’s 15th district and builds on spatial analysis, mapping of underused areas, and a contextual reading of socio-climatic conditions to highlight both spatial restrictions and hidden potentials. The selected site serves as a test field for a vis

The purpose of this study was to examine and understand young people's expectations and perceptions of romantic relationships and their views on control and jealousy within them. The aim of this study was also to explore how young people understand control and jealousy in relation to psychological and digital violence. The study was based on a qualitative method, and seven semi-structured inte

The study is focused on intimate partner violence from the woman's perspective and the development of violence. It aimed to explore shared patterns in their experiences, the influence of family and friends, and the women’s perceptions of their self-image and future after the violence. Concentrating on heterosexual relationships across all age groups, the research utilized a thematic analysis o

This bachelor thesis explores the intersection of Christian identity and postmodern critique through the concept of profilicity and related concepts. By examining the perspectives of theologians and philosophers, particularly with the help of the works of Medi Ann Volpe and her sources and synthesizing them with the works of Hans-Georg Moeller and Paul J. D’Ambrosio and their sources, various conc

När ett entreprenadavtal som införlivat AB 04 hävs, omfattar hävningen endast de ”återstående arbetena”, eftersom de redan utförda arbetena inte kan återgå till entreprenören. Beställaren behåller i stället dessa arbeten, och entreprenören gottskrivs arbetenas värde med hänsyn till eventuella fel. Men vad gäller om fel senare konstateras i de utförda arbetena? AB 04 anger att en garanti- och ansvaWhen a construction contract incorporating AB 04 is terminated, the termination only covers the remaining works, since the work already performed can-not be reversed. The client retains the performed works, and the contractor is credited for their value, taking into account any defects. But what applies if defects are later discovered in the completed works? Since such defects were not considered
