This paper provides an exploratory analysis about the effect of transportation infrastructure on poverty reductions in Mexico between 1990 and 2010. Using the density of highways and unprecedented official estimations of poverty at municipality level, I show that this type of infrastructure lead to reductions in poverty. On average, for every additional kilometer (km) of highway (km/100km2) povert

Föreliggande uppsats syftar till att analysera det uppror som skildras i Suzanne Collins The Hunger Games-trilogi. Med grund i Michail Bachtins tankar om folkets möjlighet till uppror i karnevalen och den folkliga festen anläggs ett karnevalsperspektiv på framförallt övergripande händelseförlopp, men även specifika händelser och företeelser i Collins bokserie. Efter en inledande beskrivning av karThe aim of this thesis is to analyze the uprising depicted in Suzanne Collin’s The Hunger Games-trilogy. Using the ideas of carnival and vernacular humour presented by Mikhail Bakhtin a carnival perspective is applied to the course of events in Collin’s trilogy. Following a description of carnival as theory in the study of literature in general and more specifically children’s literature, the carn
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur cancelleringsprocesser ser ut i samband med skandaler för influencers och hur de utvecklas under tidens gång. Detta görs i form av en fallstudie, närmre specifikt skandalfallet med Margaux Dietz som inträffade år 2022. För att kunna dra vetenskapliga slutsatser baserat på empiri som följer narrativet, tar rapporten fäste i två teoretiska utgångspunkter - This study aims to investigate the dynamics of cancellation processes in relation to scandals involving influencers and how they evolve over time. It is conducted through a case study, specifically focusing on the scandal involving Margaux Dietz that occurred in 2022. In order to draw scientific conclusions based on empirical evidence that aligns with the narrative, the report adopts two theoretic
Conventional agrifood systems significantly contribute to environmental degradation. While Community Supported Agriculture initiatives (CSAs) may provide insights into alternative agrifood systems, few studies have investigated challenges to their engagement with prefigurative processes. Through a case study of nine CSAs in South-Holland, the Netherlands, this thesis explores the extent to which C
Det här examensarbetet behandlar den akustiska utformningen av simhallar. Fokus ligger på de lösningar som påverkar akustiken, så som väggar, absorbenter och utformningen. Grunden till arbetet är baserat på befintlig litteratur och ny information framtaget för arbetet. Simhallar är en svår akustisk lokal där många hårda ytor och stora volymer försvårar. Detta ger en ljudmiljö med hög ljudnivå ochThe Master thesis considers acoustic design of swimming halls. Focus is put into design solutions affecting the acoustic environment such as walls, absorbents and shape. The basis is gained from literature studies and new information achieved specific for the thesis. Swimming halls are built in a certain way that makes a good acoustic environment hard to achieve. The construction consists of hard
Italian is sexy, German is rough—but how about Páez or Tamil? Are there universal phonesthetic judgments based purely on the sound of a language, or are preferences attributable to language-external factors such as familiarity and cultural stereotypes? We collected 2,125 recordings of 228 languages from 43 language families, including 5 to 11 speakers of each language to control for personal vocal
Presents a two-dimensional stochastic convection-diffusion model for use in real-time prediction of the space-time rainfall structure in urban areas. The model is used to parameterize the rainfall intensity from individual rain cells. Especially, we are interested to quantify the rainfall intensity resulting from different separable components of the rain cell. This is done by a Lagrangian approac
The Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal (Sgr dSph) galaxy is currently being accreted and disrupted by the tidal field of the Milky Way. Recent observations have shown that the central region of the dwarf hosts at least three different stellar populations, ranging from old and metal-poor over intermediate metal-rich to young metal-rich. While the intermediate-age metal-rich population has been identified

This article tells a story of the aftermath of the ‘failed revolution’ in Egypt through the prism of sound and gendered political prisoner bodies. It created embodied re-actions among Cairene men—years after their lived prison experiences—in which depression, sorrow, stress, paranoia, rage, or painful body memories are prevalent. Affect theory shows how sonic vibrations—important stimuli wi
Infections due to the opportunistic fungus Candida have been on the rise in the last decades, especially in immunocompromised individuals and hospital settings. Unfortunately, the treatments available today are limited. Thrombin-derived C-terminal peptide (TCP-25) is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) with antibacterial and immunomodulatory effects. In this work, we, for the first time, demonstrate th
Aims: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the prevalence of the multidimensional phenomenon of fatigue in adults with congenital heart disease. Background: Adults with congenital heart disease are a growing population, and patient-reported outcomes can provide valuable information about the patient's experience of living with CHD. Fatigue is a multidimensional phenomenon that can
The persistence of patterns of decline or stagnation in developed countries has led to a renewed interest in the study of less developed regions. This renewed interest is informed by a variety of approaches, which range from studies on the unequal distribution of economic power and resources to analysis of regional endowments, such as human capital or quality of institutions. However, a persistent
Background: Parents face mental health challenges following their child's cancer diagnosis. However, it is unknown whether parental mental illness following a childhood cancer diagnosis influences the child's mortality.Patients and methods: Using several nationwide registers in Sweden, we identified children diagnosed with cancer between ages 0 to 14 from 2005 to 2016. Parental mental illness was
OBJECTIVE: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) can accurately assess erosive disease in the hands, wrists and feet in established rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study was to compare CBCT with conventional radiography (CR) for the assessment of erosions in patients with early RA.METHODS: CBCT and CR of the hands, wrists and feet of 17 patients with treatment naive early RA were assesse
