The subject of my essay is personal experience of anthropologists during fieldwork carried out in another culture. It is presented through two cases: the first is Bronis³aw Malinowski's journey to Mailu and the Trobriand Islands and the second Kirsten Hastrup's experience in Iceland. The method I have used is biographical. My basic material is Malinowski's Diary (both the parts publish
Several studies show that the use of pesticides within agricultural management have led to increased losses of biodiversity. However, information on the effects of garden pesticides on non-target organisms and the type of products used in private gardens are lacking. With a focus on Lund municipality, an initial inventory of available plant protection products in stores was performed. The study sh
The aim of this thesis is to explore the interrelation of employer branding and employee engagement in the context of corporate restructuring and organizational change. Our research follows an interpretative and abductive approach. We have conducted a qualitative case study with Ingka Centres as our case company. This thesis contributes to the literature on employer branding and employee engagemen
Sustainability has long been serving dominant political and economic interests under the guise of sustainable development. This political and economic co-option of sustainable development has given rise to a new slogan: “system change, not climate change”. Our crisis is no longer just an environmental one, but a structural one, in which our means of living have outdistanced the ends for which we l

Since the beginning of the 1960’s, there has been a widening gap in GDP per capita between the countries in the regions of East Asia & Pacific and Sub-Saharan Africa. By growing more and shrinking less, some but not all, developing countries have deviated from a state of underdevelopment and caught up with the developed world. Moreover, it has been argued that the biggest chance of catching up
Before the Internet era began, the method that most consumers used to exploit copyrighted musical works such as CDs was based on the physical location of the entity that distributed them. Nowadays, they can be found on different online platforms. The aim of this thesis is to find out what music is, why it should be protected and to what extent it can be protected according to the EU copyright law.
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a heterogeneous childhood cancer, characterized by the amplification of the MYCN oncogene in 40% of the high-risk cases. Our previous work demonstrated that MYCN drives metabolic reprogramming in NB, including upregulation of antioxidant enzymes. Here, we identify peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) as a promising therapeutic target in NB. Pharmacological inhibition of PRDX6 reduces MYCN
Collective action by small-scale farmers can contribute significantly toward rural development. One important aspect that remains relatively neglected, especially in research set in Africa, is the role of farmer collectives in political processes. We study the local-level dynamics of a farmer-based organization mobilizing for agroecology and food sovereignty in Uganda. Through qualitative, collabo
The intake of anthocyanin rich-foods, such as bilberries has been associated with a reduced risk of developing cardiovascular-related diseases. Similarly, the cardiovascular benefits of oat consumption are well known and are mainly due to its cholesterol-lowering and hypoglycemic effects. A randomized double-blinding clinical trial has been designed to investigate the cardiovascular beneficial eff
Rätten till “remedial secession” är en av de mest kontroversiella frågorna i internationell rätt. Ett större antal juridiska forskare har hävdat att en sådan rätt finns, men stater har visat sig motvilliga för att stödja en sådan rätt. Efter Kosovos självständighetsförklaring från Serbien 2008 sattes frågan om ”remedial secession” på spetsen igen. Trots att ICJ konstaterade att deras självständighThe right to remedial secession is one of the most divisive issues in interna-tional law. An increasing number of legal scholars have argued that such a right exists, but State practise has shown little support for such a right. Fol-lowing Kosovo’s unilateral declaration of independence from Serbia in 2008, the legality of remedial secession was put at the centre of attention once again. While the
Investing based on environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) criteria has grown rapidly in recent years. The trend has been driven by both an increased interest in sustainability, and the fact that ESG related corporate events have been shown to influence stock prices. In tandem with this development, a number of companies has pioneered methods to quantify a firm’s ESG performance. One of thes
Purpose: This research analyzes the phenomenon of brand revitalization and brand nostalgia in order to understand their influence on brand image. Design/Methodology: This study is based on a qualitative approach. It involves two case studies, both of which are studied through secondary data and focus groups. Findings: This research found that nostalgia can have positive or negative effects when th
This thesis aims to examine how university-educated members of Generation Z in Sweden explain their decision to delay parenthood. As declining fertility rates across the globe risk to strain the global economy, this topic has never been more relevant. Sweden and the Noridcs have served as examples on which other nations have based their fertility strategies, but as the region has seen a sudden, an
I dagens samhälle ser vi diskussioner rörande klimatfrågor och jämställdhet både på samhälls- och individnivå. Dessa diskussioner engagerar och kan påverka allt ifrån stora aktörer till enskilda individer. Denna uppsats intresserar sig för hur dessa diskussioner samverkar när ett företag väger in båda frågorna vid marknadsföringsstrategier. Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ textanalys vars syfte är att u
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are of great importance for the body and can be used to treat diseases such as leukemia or autoimmune conditions. To be able to use HSCs more extensively in therapies we need to know more about how they are being regulated, one way to do this is by knocking down genes with RNA interference. In this project we test a new micro RNA (miRNA), called miR30E, to investiga

This thesis examines the extent to which relational preconditions for innovation are institutionalised within the governance framework of the third pillar of Horizon Europe. Departing from the observation that existing research on EU innovation governance has focused predominantly on funding mechanisms and regulatory instruments, the study addresses a conceptual gap: while innovation theory consis
When there is a statement of deficiency given to a nursing home, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires facilities to submit a plan of correction stating how they will create systemic change to prevent recurrence of the incident. This study reviewed 90 statements of deficiency and associated plans of correction from across the United States for abuse, neglect, and exploita
