During the past decades, there has been a struggle for land reform in Brazil among poor farmers and rural workers. The Catholic Church, along with some other churches, has been part of this, through the "Commissao Pastoral da Terra" and the base communities linked to the liberation theology movement. The political and theological context has changed in many ways since the emersion of lib

The housing market in Sweden today has submitted to the rules of commercial markets. The de-mand is rising while the supply is decreasing; pushing rents to go up. The interest in building apartment blocks is low due to high costs and low revenue. Prior to 1991 private actors was encouraged to enter the housing market through tax revenues and loan subventions and through Public-Private Partnerships

In the year of 2004, a tsunami struck the coast of Thailand. Around 30 000 Swedish tourist was present, and over 500 was killed. The Swedish government acted slowly in helping its citizens, which created a political crisis in Sweden when the support for the government declined. After the crisis management of the tsunami was over, the government started to reform Sweden’s national security. The mai

Mikroorganismernas kapprustning Bakteriefager, virus som infekterar bakterier, är den vanligast förekommande organismen inom biosfären. I ett försök att ligga steget före, har bakterier utvecklat försvarsmekanismer för att undvika fagerinfektioner. Forskningsbevis visar på att en stor del av dessa mekanismer utgörs av toxin-antitoxinsystem. Här har det uttryckta toxinet förgiftande effekt på värd

This report aims to give insights to the oat processing industry and the effects of kilning and storage. Temperature and relative humidity used during kilning of oat kernels was shown to have a large effect on protein solubility and lipase inactivation. Steaming with saturated steam at 90 ℃ was found to inactivate all lipases, but still leave a relatively high protein solubility. An industrial kil

Människor strävar ofta efter att uppvisa en positiv fasad, både på sociala medier och i verkliga livet. Att undertrycka sina känslor och tvinga sig själv att vara positiv är något som i populärkulturen benämns som “toxic positivity”. Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan ett undertryckande av känslor (suppression), enligt Gross (2002) emotionsregleringsmodell, och välmående. Vi strPeople often strive to exhibit a positive facade, both on social media as well as in real life. To suppress one's feelings and force oneself to be positive is something which in popular culture is referred to as “toxic positivity”. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between suppression of feelings, or simply “suppression” according to the emotional regulation model formulate

According to efficient market theory, all publicly available information is reflected in asset prices. In its semi-strong form, fundamental analysis cannot be used as a method to generate an abnormal return. Implying that abnormal return can only be achieved by incurring a higher level of risk. Joel Greenblatt (2006) shows that by applying simple fundamental analysis and ranking companies based on

Patent law has been prevalent in climate change discussions, as a factor linking technology, Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and the climate crisis. The inventive step, its set threshold and the environmental benefits for the assessment of its current state, are one of the paths where patent law can act as a potential promoter of green technologies. This paper aims to asses how patent law can

Neutralitetsprincipen har sedan länge varit en starkt etablerad och mycket vik-tig princip på idrottens område. Att stå fri från politiskt inflytande och att stå neutrala i politiska frågor grundar sig i viljan att vara en inkluderande och accepterande arena där alla idrottare kan tävla på lika villkor, oavsett politiska eller religiösa bakgrunder. Idrottsrörelsen vill vara en värld dit polariseraThe principle of neutrality is a well-established and important principle within the sports world. The freedom from political influences and the ability to remain neutral in political matter is founded on the wish to be an inclusive and accepting arena, where athletes compete on the same terms, regardless of political or religious background. The sport world’s main objective is to be an impartial

Denna studie ämnar undersöka skillnaderna i beslutsfattande mellan Länsstyrelsen i Skåne och Länsstyrelsen i Hallands län angående etableringen av solcellsparker på brukningsvärd jordbruksmark. Studien inkluderar även en analys av hurrättspraxis kan ha påverkat beslutsprocessen genom att granska fall före och efter Mark- och miljööverdomstolens avgöranden i två specifika ärenden rörande solcellspaThis research aims to investigate the differences in decision-making between the County Administrative Board of Skåne and the County Administrative Board of Halland regarding the establishment of solar parks on arable agricultural land. The study also includes an analysis of how legal precedents may have influenced the decision-making process by examining cases decided before and after the rulings

All organisms are made up ofcells, the smallest functional unit of life. While organisms such asplants and animalscan consist of trillions of cells, others consist of just one cell.One group of unicellularorganisms is called bacteria. Because oftheir small size, bacteria and other microscopic small organisms are classified as microorganisms. In nature, mostbacteria do not live as single cells. Th

Denna masteruppsats undersökte potentialen i att använda biobaserade akrylatmonomerer för att producera mer hållbara vattenbaserade golvlacker jämfört med de petroleumbaserade monomerer som nuvarande används. Dispersioner skapades genom emulsionspolymerisation och formulerades med koalecenter och vätningsmedel för att bilda lacker vid rumstemperatur. Den främsta utmaningen med biobaserade monoThis master thesis investigates the potential of using biobased acrylic monomers to produce more sustainable waterborne floor coatings compared to the petroleum-based monomers currently in use. Dispersions were created through emulsion polymerization and formulated with coalescent and a wetting agent to form films at room temperature. The primary challenge with biobased monomers is their highe

Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda uppsägningsgrunderna arbetsbrist och personliga skäl för att undersöka hur arbetsbristen kan bli fingerad. Genom användning av den rättsdogmatiska metoden beskriver uppsatsen innebörden av begreppet fingerad arbetsbrist i ljuset av gällande rätt. Den arbetsrättsliga lagstiftningen utgår ifrån arbetsgivarens arbetsledningsrätt att leda och fördela arbetet som tar sThe purpose of the essay is to examine what characterizes the grounds for termination of employment and to investigate how redundancy can be contrived. By using the legal dogmatic method, the essay illustrates the meaning of contrived redundancy in the light of current law. The labour law legislation is based on the employer’s right to free management and employment, which is expressed in the emp

Fragmentbaserad läkemedelsutveckling (FBDD) har på senare tid utvecklats som en lovande alternativ metod för att identifiera svåråtkomliga bindningsställen, såsom små fickor eller allosteriska säten. Weak affinity chromatography (WAC™) är en FBDD-metod där dissociationskonstanten kan beräknas genom att jämföra retentionstiden på en proteinkolonn med en referenskolonn. Målet med projektet är att möFragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) has in recent years emerged as an interesting method to target challenging binding sites, such as allosteric sites or small pockets. Weak Affinity Chromatography (WAC™) is a FBDD technology where dissociation constants of injected compounds are determined by comparing retention times between a protein column to a reference column. The goal of this project was t

Denna studie undersöker utrymning genom inåtgående dörrar, något som bör undvikas enligt svenska byggregler när antalet personer i en lokal överstiger 30. Trots detta är de specifika utmaningarna och påverkande faktorerna, särskilt vad gäller personer med nedsatt rörelseförmåga, till stor del outforskade. För att belysa detta genomfördes en litteraturstudie samt utrymningsförsök med 36 deltagare (This study investigates evacuation through inward-opening doors, a practice discouraged by Swedish building regulations when occupant numbers exceed 30. Despite this, the specific challenges and influencing factors, particularly regarding individuals with movement impairments, remain largely unexplored. To address this gap, a literature review and eight evacuation scenarios involving 36 participan

As the population ages, the risk of loneliness increases,especially when reduced mobility or illness leads to isolation from community and social life. At the same time 7 percent of Danes live with major disabilities, yet the built environment often overlooks their needs. Age and disability alike reveal how architecture continues to fall short of true inclusion. This thesis is an experiment in r

With the sustainable potential of the city as a starting point, this thesis examines brownfield redevelopment in an existing urban context. The Nørrebro neighborhood of Copenhagen serves as a case. The focus is on learning from and reinterpreting existing urban structure, hierarchy, density and scale. Legislation allowing car free development at the chosen site, Vingelodden, also prompts explorati
