The thesis explores the exegetical techniques of the Rabbis and the Fathers of the Church. The thesis focuses on a particular method, namely the usage of emotions by the Rabbis and the Fathers and their attempt to explain the Biblical text of Genesis 22. The aim is to understand the highly diverse ‘extra-biblical’ developments, which can help us glimpse into the post-biblical, Rabbinic and Patris
The famine in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has once again reached a point of emergency wherein the international community has a moral duty to protect the population from their government. Although the member states of the United Nations have affirmed a global Responsibility to Protect, the ways in which that responsibility are carried out are often contradictory and help to sustain t
In mid 90’s, productivity growth rate started to accelerate in the USA. The sources of this resurgence were the IT-producing industry and the IT-using market services. Meanwhile, Europe was still suffering from the low level of productivity growth rates. This fact leads to pessimistic assessments about the economic future of Europe. However, this paper uncovers that productivity growth rate starte
Objective: Current study aimed to examine the mediating role of functional gastrointestinal symptoms in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and binge eating. Method: Using an online survey, self-reports of childhood maltreatment, binge eating, and gastrointestinal symptoms were collected in 331 participants. Results: The simple regression analysis revealed childhood maltreatment to be
Little academic research has been done in the field of energy and conflict with regard to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The aim of this thesis is to try to fill this gap by analysing the relationship of energy and conflict in this ongoing war. A further goal is to relate the findings back to the theoretical framework provided by Månsson (2014), in which the different roles that energy c
This paper examines youth engagement within the Global Landscapes Forum, a conference that took place in Paris, December 2015, and its contribution towards moving intergenerational equity forward. Youth are considered one of the main stakeholders when it comes to decision-making in long-term environmental issues as they are part of the current generation that are likely to face the implications of
The internet has revolutionised our world. The digital ecosphere is dominated for the most part by technology companies. The surveillance business model of these companies seeks to create predictions and inferences based on persons behaviour which can be used to shape, nudge and manipulate towards certain goals. This presents immense challenges to human rights, especially to the right to privacy.
The competitive landscape of the dairy industry is changing. In the western markets, the consumption of some traditional dairy products is declining, while plant-based dairy alternatives are seeing double-digit growth. Several factors have contributed to this change, which act as both drivers and moderators of the business model innovation efforts of dairy incumbent firms. The purpose of this thes
Since its announcement in 2013, China’s Belt and Road Initiative raised much interest of the scientists and practitioners. Even though much research has been carried out on this project, few attempts have been made to examine the benefits of the project to five Central Asian countries. This study aims to explore the effect of the Belt and Road Initiative on the changes of the export volume of Cent
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNR) are key enzymes for transformation of RNA building blocks (NTPs) to DNA building blocks (dNTPs), an essential step in biological systems. RNRs are known to be the first enzymes identified with free radical chemistry and play an important role in having a tight control over dNTP levels, as these DNA building blocks are needed for vital cellular processes such as cell
The Normalized Vegetation Difference Index (NDVI) is frequently used as a surrogate for vegetation properties and is often correlated with climatic variables such as rainfall. However, studies have shown that conventional regression models used to study the spatial relationship between NDVI and rainfall are often plagued by non-stationarity and are scale dependent. This thesis employed a spatial d
From the Brexit Referendum in 2016, up until the Brexit transition period in 2020 and onwards, the regions of the United Kingdom underwent several renegotiations within trade agreements associated with the Brexit process and the consequent withdrawal from the European Union. This caused increasing levels of economic policy uncertainty within the United Kingdom, which accordingly acted as a spillov
Plattektoniska processer formar idag vår jord genom vulkanism, relaterad till divergenta och konvergenta plattrörelser. Hur länge har plattektoniken existerat och hur kan vi spåra plattektoniska processer bakåt i tiden? Detta kandidatarbete behandlar och diskuterar olika typer av plattektoniska indikatorer, hur de går att koppla till moderna processer och hur tillförlitliga de anses vara. Moderna Plate tectonic processes shapes our earth due to volcanism, related to divergent and convergent plate motions. When did plate tectonics begin and how can we trace plate tectonic processes throughout time? This Bachelor thesis address and discuss different plate tectonic indicators and their reliability. Modern analogues are indicators that can be linked to modern plate tectonic processes, and does
Carbonatite is an unusual type of rock that, for a long time, were not accepted for what they really are. This group of rocks is now considered to be of igneous origin and is classified after its content of carbonate minerals. If it exceed 50% the rock will be named a carbonatite. This group of rocks can be found all over the world and two of these places, which this review will focus on, are the
This study contributes to the understanding of the labor market establishment of the first generation of migrants in Sweden. Sweden has for decades been a country which experienced net immigration, and it is a major recipient of refugees and migrants arriving for reasons of family reunion. Compared to other European countries, Sweden has one of the lowest employment levels among migrants. The stud
The principal aims of the present study were to examine the latent heat stress relieving capacity of drinking buttermilk and to observe the human gut microbiota in hot occupational condition. A human crossover intervention study with 12 volunteers was studied, each of them performed 3 hours of physical work in a heat chamber. During the working period, the volunteers were given buttermilk, water o
Spiders play a key role as predators in a wide range of terrestrial ecosystems. Their community composition is strongly affected by environmental gradients. The latitudinal diversity gradient concept states that diversity and species richness is negatively related to increasing latitude. This has been observed in spiders on a continental scale, but so far was not observed on a regional scale in Eu
The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. Despite restoration projects already being i
This masters’ thesis in Sociology of Law is a study on the legal consciousness of state agents and private individuals working in the anti-piracy domain. The aim of the research is to examine the anti-piracy professionals’ level of training in and awareness of relevant laws. Understanding that the applicable hard and soft anti-piracy law is complex, and depicting the current level of legal trainin
