The inherent limitations of studying gastric pathogens in vivo, prompted me to develop a 3-dimensional gastric organoid model originating from primary murine gastric tissue. In vitro cultivation of glands from primary gastric tissue robustly yields spheroidal organoids that share structural and assembly characteristics with authentic gastric tissue. Fluorescent confocal microscopy of organoids sta
Sexuell exploatering och övergrepp av soldater inom FN:s fredsoperationer är ett välkänt problem för FN. Organisationens brist på ansvarsutkrävande kom till utryck när OHCHR begärde att Anders Kompass skulle avgå från sin tjänst för att ha överfört en rapport till en medlemsstat i hopp om att en utredning skulle påbörjas. Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa problematiken inom OHCHR:s organisati
The thesis places itself in the scope of two intensively ongoing debates. The first concerns the concepts of ‘sustainability’ and ‘sustainable development’, and the second concerns Swedish forestry policy. Assigned by the government, the Swedish Forestry Agency published the report ‘Forestry with new possibilities’ in late 2019, aiming to produce clear steps for future sustainable forestry in Swed
Denna uppsats hade som syfte att besvara frågorna om huruvida status som rättighetsbärare tillkommer ofödda människor, samt om gällande regleringar är tillräckliga för att skydda ofött liv. Undersökningen om rättighetsbärarstatus skedde inom ramen för rätten till liv, eftersom denna rättighet förutsattes vara den mest relevanta för ofödda människor. Uppsatsen undersökte först internationella mänsThis essay set out to answer the questions whether a status as rights-bearer is acknowledged for unborn human beings, and if the regulations in place are adequate in order to protect unborn life. Rights-bearer status was explored within the scope of the right to life, as this right was assumed to be the most relevant for unborn humans. The essay first examined international human rights law, focu
This research study is based on the problematisation of criminal gangs’ development within Swedish society and its presence towards young Swedish individuals. Furthermore, the study was built on investigating changes that take place within legislations. This study’s research problem and purpose was designed to investigate whether mitigating circumstances within the Swedish Penal Code can result in
Risk and vulnerability assessments are an important part of the Swedish disaster management system and can be used as input for decision making. Today disaster management decisions are made on all levels in Sweden depending on the extent of the decisions. The purpose of this thesis has been to perform a descriptive study of how risk and vulnerability assessments are utilised as input to decision m
The aim of this research is to explore how equalization of health is envisioned in a Chinese new policy regarding the equalization of basic health care for Chinese migrant workers in order to understand its material effects on the targeted population in terms of citizenship rights and modes of governing. The purpose is furthermore to see whether migrant workers share the health needs and values pr
This study demonstrates that the anthropocentric human-animal divide perpetuates violent ideologies and practices by emphasising the intersectionality of oppression across species boundaries. Taking the practice of Swedish dairy farming and inherent ideologies as a case of such intersectional oppression, the Othering of bovines and their treatment as means of production is problematised. This is d
Antimalarial resistance has diminished the control over the spread of malaria worldwide. Initiated by the discovery of ferroquine, organometallic derivatives of chloroquine have been investigated against resistant strains of Plasmodium, but further work needs to be done. The aim of this project is to expand the available candidates of organometallic antimalarial drugs. In this project, six new org
Prosodic cues such as stress and tones can help listeners predict upcoming structures and get a first crack at rapidly unfolding speech. The prosodic feature stød in Danish can distinguish word meanings but also signal imminent structures. For instance, monosyllabic nouns with stød lose stød when followed by the plural indefinite suffix -e. Suffixes invalidly cued by stød or non-stød have been fou
Thesis purpose: The aims of this thesis are to investigate (1) the effect of sponsorship disclosure timing (before vs. after) on attitudes towards the brand and attitudes towards the vlogger in a beauty vlog context and (2) test a possible moderating effect of discount codes on the relationships between disclosure timing and attitudes towards the brand and the vlogger. These two aims were pursued
Through a decolonial lens, visual culture can offer a variety of methods for solidarity-, community-, and future-building among people of color and other marginalized identities through applied imagination. However, a common impulse in these community-building endeavors is to explain as much as possible or to direct the image to the white gaze––a colonial ideology––which can further marginalize an
The Swedish national syllabi for the subject of English challenges upper secondary students to not only produce text, but to interact with and through it; students should actively engage with the learning process through reading, writing, and speaking. Previous research within this field has investigated the relationship between reading and writing, as well as how to use writing to complement the
Background: Shared reading (SR) is a group reading concept consisting of weekly meetings led by a trained facilitator where literary fiction and poetry is read aloud and discussed. SR requires no previous knowledge or homework and has been tried out as a health intervention to different vulnerable populations.
Today the Unified Glare Rating (UGR) tabular method according to CIE 117-195 and CIE 190-210 is practically the only one used for evaluation of discomfort glare in the lighting design process but it is unknown if the method is in line with the subjective perception of glare (SGI). We investigated whether UGR calculation method currently used in lighting design is in agreement with the perceived di
Separating how surface and subsurface species affect catalytic function is a challenging task in heterogeneous catalysis, particularly when deposition and segregation take place at reaction conditions. Here, we report on an operando approach to establish surface/subsurface/function correlations. Using temperature modulations we oscillate carbon deposition and segregation over a Pd catalyst. Cataly
In the reality of Israel’s educational system, it is highly unlikely that Arab and Jewish students will ever meet at school. Within this state-segregated context, bilingual multicultural education, while having the potential to act as a catalyst for change and promote intercultural dialogue, remains on the brim of academic interests. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the complex interplay o
This study examines the relationship between various types of external support and the duration of intrastate conflicts. Between 1975 and 2017, the majority of conflicts received external support in one shape or form and the effects of internationalising conflicts through the provision of external support are multiple. Existing literature has found that external involvement generally prolongs the
