This thesis focuses on the exchange of experience, knowledge and strategies between local social movements resisting large scale mining projects. While the exchanges between local movements and supralocal movements, international organizations and NGOs has been studied, less attention is payed to the role of collaborations between local movements themselves. A case study based on fieldwork and int
Syfte: Att undersöka den Entreprenöriella Orienteringen i ett stort, etablerat företag som vill öka den organiska tillväxten. Om nödvändigt, justera EO-modellen så att den passar i den specifika kontingensen. Ge råd om hur ett stort, etablerat företag kan öka den Entreprenöriella Orienteringen. Metod: En fallstudie på Trelleborg AB genomfördes med hjälp av semi-strukturerade intervjuer med respond
Sakkunnigbevisningens roll i brottmålsprocessen är att tillhandahålla domstolen särskild sakkunskap. Sakkunnigbevisningen kännetecknas av en viss komplexitet, men bevisets karaktär av bevismedel medför att domstolen ska pröva dess bevisvärde. Framställningen syftar till att undersöka vilka svårigheter och konsekvenser som domstolens bevisvärdering av sakkunnigbevisning kan vara förenad med. DärutöThe purpose of expert evidence in criminal proceeding’s is to provide the court with specialized knowledge. Expert evidence is characterized by a certain complexity, but the nature of the evidence as a form of proof means that the court is required to evaluate its value as evidence. The purpose of this thesis is to examine what difficulties and consequences of the court's assessments of expert
Att litteratur och musik hänger ihop är ingen nyhet. Homeros epos Odyssén och Illiaden bestod av sånger, inte böcker, och än idag använder vi ordet lyrik – orden som sjungs till lyrans musik – som synonym för poesi. Att i prosa låta musiken vara ett betydelsefullt objekt, eller ett agerande subjekt, är visserligen lika gammalt – tänk på sirenernas sång som gjorde Odysseus vanvettig av åtrå – men d
Even though the European Union has promoted multilingualism for long, it has proven difficult to achieve widespread multilingual language competence beyond English through formal education in Europe. In Sweden, high dropout rates have been recorded in second foreign language (SFL) classes and French is currently the most vulnerable language among the major SFLs with respect to number of pupils and
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been shown to be strongly associated with increased risk for venous thromboembolism events (VTE) mainly in the inpatient but also in the outpatient setting. Pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis has been shown to offer significant benefits in terms of reducing not only VTE events but also mortality, especially in acutely ill patients with COVID-19. Although the m
Background: Although many people infected with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) experience no or mild symptoms, some individuals can develop severe illness and may die, particularly older people and those with underlying medical problems. Providing evidence-based interventions to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection has become more urgent with the spread of more infectious SARS
In total 14 bulk atmospheric deposition collectors were distributed over the city of Lund (about 20 km~) in the south of Sweden during September 1980 to June 1981. The observations were made to investigate small-scale spatial variability of atmospheric deposition. Monthly bulk deposition samples were analyzed for CI, Ptot, Zn, Cu, and Pb.Correlation analysis shows that the spatial scale for the va
This paper elaborates on a technique for rapid real-time imaging of millimeter wave (mmWave) power density over surfaces of several wavelengths in size. The approach involves utilizing a screen-printed metasurface equipped with elements designed for absorption of mmWaves, along with an infrared camera to monitor temperature changes due to the absorption. By modulating the transmitted signal and ap
OBJECTIVE: Determine whether there is a relationship between the number of different lower-limb resistance exercises prescribed in a program and outcomes for people with knee osteoarthritis.METHODS: Systematic review with meta-regression. We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, and Embase up to 4th January 2024. We included randomised controlled trials th
Single-cell RNAseq is a routinely used method to explore heterogeneity within cell populations. Data from these experiments are often visualized using dimension reduction methods such as UMAP and tSNE, where each cell is projected in two or three dimensional space. Three-dimensional projections can be more informative for larger and complex datasets because they are less prone to merging and flatt
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) functional traits have emerged as relevant elements that may explain HDL antiatherogenic capacity better than HDL cholesterol levels. These properties have been improved in several lifestyle intervention trials. The aim of this systematic review is to summarize the results of such trials of the most commonly used dietary modifications (fatty acids, cholesterol, antio
Developing efficient and robust computational models is essential to improve our understanding of protein solution behavior. This becomes particularly important to tackle the high-concentration regime. In this context, the main challenge is to put forward coarse-grained descriptions able to reduce the level of detail, while retaining key features and relevant information. In this work, we develop
This paper proposes a wireless and stretchable sensor which uses an oscillator with an inductively coupled resonator. By delving into the malleable nature of these cutting-edge electronics, we determine the most effective circuit parameters to optimize signal behavior for specific applications. The findings showed that the simulated frequency shift sensitivity to variations in sensor resistance in
Background: Resection margin has been associated with overall survival following liver resection for colorectal liver metastasis. The aim of this study was to examine how resection margins of 0.0 mm, 0.1-0.9 mm and =1 mm influence overall survival in patients resected for colorectal liver metastasis in a time of modern perioperative chemotherapy and surgery. Methods: Using data from the national r
Integration of fiber modification step with a modern pulp mill is a resource efficient way to produce functional fibers. Motivated by the need to integrate polymer adsorption with the current pulping system, anion-specific effects in carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) adsorption have been studied. The QCM-D adsorption experiments revealed that CMC adsorption to the cellulose model surface is prone to an
Background: Impaired social cognition (SC) occurs frequently in schizophrenia (SCZ), yet compared to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the research on SC in SCZ is sparse and methodologically heterogeneous. To accurately assess between-group SC differences it is further necessary to establish the relationship between nonsocial cognition (NSC) and SC, particularly as this may not be identical across
In this eighth edition of the Excellent MSc Dissertation series, five students present condensed versions of their Master’s theses, completed for the MSc degree in Media and Communication Studies at Lund University. These students presented their dissertations in May 2023 and earned the highest mark. During the Fall of 2023, the dissertations were revised to a shorter length of 14,000 words for pu
Introduction: A blood-based biomarker (BBBM) test could help to better stratify patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), reduce unnecessary imaging, to detect and treat secondary insults, predict outcomes, and monitor treatment effects and quality of care. Research question: What evidence is available for clinical applications of BBBMs in TBI and how to advance this field? Material and methods:
