The various conditions being: two different electrolytes, KOH and KOH/LiOH, different temperature during charging and different charge times. The nickel mass was made into mon
Den här studien undersöker hur den Kanadensiska lokaltidningen Winnipeg Free press porträtterar försvunna och mördade urfolkskvinnor.

The factors behind the struggle for women’s empowerment in Iran are a combination of social, religio-cultural and traditional constraints. These have been institutionalized through the legal and legislative system, as well as the informal traditional practices in the public and private spheres. The Iranian legislative apparatus which directly and indirectly poses constraints on women’s presence in
Following a long-standing sociolinguistic pursuit to investigate language policy through complex non-linear models that analyze historical, structural, political and social processes that produce, contextualize, circulate and negotiate particular ideologies, beliefs and myths about languages and their values through meaning-making activities, this master’s thesis aims to apply an interpretive appr
The purpose of this paper is to interrogate the single and joint effect interest and exchange rate movements have on banks’ stock returns. This study also aims to compare the volatility of the banks’ stock returns for countries in different markets using both the short and long-term interest rate and the respective exchange rates. To conduct our tests, we use a sample of 14 German and 11 South Afr
Informationsteknologi och informationssystem spelar en viktig roll, både i våra professionella- såväl som vardagliga liv. Trots det finns det en tydlig underrepresentation av kvinnor inom tech- och IT branschen, speciellt i de mer tekniska rollerna. Forskningen inom informationssystem (IS) visar att vanliga hinder för kvinnor inom tech-branschen är könsfördomar såsom att kvinnor är sämre på teknol
This thesis is an exploration of gender bias in the treatment of chronic illnesses by analysing the relationship between gender, feminism, and ableism in regard to power relations within a human rights healthcare-focused framework. Through a combination of feminist theory and critical disability theory, this thesis aims to answer how gendered cycles of inequality are perpetuated within healthcare
The use of corporate-based yoga and mindfulness interventions has increased during the past decades, however research on the effects of these programs is still limited. The primary purpose of this five-week controlled study was to measure the effects of the YOMIwork program, a group intervention bridging yoga and mindfulness with psychology, on perceived stress, mindfulness and productivity in rel
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how drawing upon nationalism and regionalism in the marketing of brands may lead to unintended consequences in greater society.

Theoretical Background: The first chapter of the theoretical background elab
Lifestyle modifications could be crucial in preventing and managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including diet and postprandial glycaemic control. Previous studies on the effects of polar lipids (PLs) on postprandial metabolic responses at Lund University have shown conflicting results. To reconcile these findings and contribute to the existing literature, th
Whilst adults in Sweden place great importance on communicative competence in English, interest in learning other FLs and support for multilingualism are low. This is mirrored in the attitudes of pupils in compulsory and post-compulsory education, where English is a popular subject but opt-out and drop-out rates for FLs are high. Whilst international research has shown that initial enthusiasm for
The objective of this study was to extract the rapeseed protein from by-products and further examine the effect of lab-made rapeseed protein on the droplet size, microstructure, colour, encapsulation and apparent viscosity of emulsions. Rapeseed protein-stabilised emulsions with an increasing gradient of milk fat or rapeseed oil (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50%, v/v) were fabricated using a high shear rate
In modern high energy physics (HEP) experiments, triggers perform the important task of selecting, in real time, the data to be recorded and saved for physics analyses. As a result, trigger strategies play a key role in extracting relevant information from the vast streams of data produced at facilities like the large hadron collider (LHC). As the energy and luminosity of the collisions increase,
The goal of this article is to investigate how authors in the Swedish literary field respond to predominant public discourses related to migration and how a shift has occurred from the 1970s to the present regarding the ascription of ethnicity to authors and their works. Earlier categorizations such as “immigrant author” and “immigrant literature” have become obsolete. Instead, the concept of raci
As the negative impacts of hydrological extremes increase in large parts of the world, a better understanding of the drivers of change in risk and impacts is essential for effective flood and drought risk management and climate adaptation. However, there is a lack of comprehensive, empirical data about the processes, interactions and feedbacks in complex human-water systems leading to flood and dr
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur Europeiska Unionens (EU) lagstiftning avseende saluföring av utsäde av köksväxter påverkar mångfalden av växtgenetiska resurser samt att utreda potentiella förbättringsförslag till den nuvarande lagstiftningen. EU:s utsädeslagstiftning består främst av direktiv 2002/55 som anger att enbart certifierat utsäde från registrerade sorter får saluföras i EU The main purpose of this essay is to investigate how the European Union’s (EU) vegetable seed marketing legislation affects the diversity of plant genetic resources and to examine possible improvement to further this diversity. The EU seed legislation consists of directive 2002/551 which provides that only certified seeds from registered varieties may be sold in the EU, and of directive 2009/1452.
