The rich Mayan weaving tradition in Guatemala has survived even though the indigenous population has been subject to centuries of hardship and oppression. After conducting a field study and scrutinising the commercialisation process of the traditional designs in five different producer cooperatives of which, for the purpose of this thesis, some are characterised as weaving cooperatives and others
The food waste created in Swedish commercial kitchens presents a difficult logistical and environmental problem for local governments. Today all the food waste is collected separately and recycled organically to create biogas, an energy-rich fuel that can be used for both industrial and domestic applications. To mitigate the logistical and sanitary issues associated with large amounts of organic w
Uppsatsen behandlar utvecklingen av kvinnors tillträde till akademiska studier och högre statliga positioner från mitten av 1800-talet. Under denna period påbörjades krav från vissa riksdagsledamöter och kvinnliga individer själva, vilka syftade till att förbättra kvinnors ställning. Reformerna som genomfördes var riktade mot att underlätta för en ny grupp av arbetskraft – ogifta kvinnor från medeThe paper examines women's access to academic studies and higher government positions since the mid-19th century. During this period, demands emerged from certain members of parliament and female individuals themselves, aiming to improve women's status. The reforms undertaken were directed towards facilitating a new workforce—unmarried women from the middle class - to help the women to see
The author of this thesis wishes to contribute to transitions towards more sustainable energy systems in Argentina. In order to do so, two objectives are established. The first one refers to increasing the understanding of the transitions taken place at the local level within energy supply systems in Sweden. The second objective is to increase the understanding of the conditions that need to be in
Under de senaste åren har incitamentsprogram har blivit ett allt vanligare tillvägagångssätt för att kompensera bolagsledningar. Vanligtvis består programmen av en blandning av fasta och rörliga ersättningar som kan baseras på kontanta och aktierelaterade incitament. Den ökade användningen av incitamentsprogram kan förklaras genom agentteorin. Enligt teorin kan principalen styra agentens handlanDuring the last decades incentive programs have become increasingly more popular in terms of rewarding top-management. Ordinarily the schemes consist of a mix of fixed and variable pay, which may be based on either monetary or stock-related incentives. The augmented use of incentive schemes may be explained by agency theory. The theory provides that a principal may control the behavior of an agen
This Master Thesis project is performed at Tetra Pak in Modena, Italy. The overall objective of the overall Locking Pin project as this thesis project is a part of, is to understand the root cause of a failing locking pin. The locking pin is located in a filling machine and failures due to fatigue. The function of the locking pin is to bind up the filling pipe to a pressure flange. The locking pin
In modern day society the increase of data generation and transfer has been an issue that researchers are working on. This generated and shared data might have a different purpose but one thing is certain, the reception. This communication can cover continents, countries, cities or even just a few meters. For the purpose of the later, personal area networks (PAN) have been created with a main focu
Sammanfattning Den kanske största miljöpolitiska utmaningen inom Europa är för närvarande frågan om hur det är möjligt att på ett effektivt och ändamålsenligt sätt uppnå miljömålen i syfte att skapa en hållbar utveckling i samhället. Trenden har gått från att tillgripa lagstiftningsåtgärder till att via marknadsbaserade styrmedel försöka involvera olika marknadsaktörer att på egen hand bli delakt
Idag har samhället en ständig teknisk utveckling och användandet av positionering växer hela tiden. Vår position kan enkelt visas med hjälp av koordinater, i t.ex. mobiltelefonen, och används till allt från att räkna ut och ange din joggingrunda till att visa hur trafiken ser ut. Lantmäteriet håller nu på med en utredning gällande ifall ett fastighetssystem med koordinatbestämda fastighetsgränser Today there is a constant technical development in the society, and the use of GPS devices and various positioning applications is growing. Lantmäteriet, the Swedish mapping, cadastral and land registration authority, is now about to initiate a pilot project on how a coordinate based cadastral system could work in Sweden. The overall purpose of introducing this type of system in Sweden is to creat
Safety routines such as the WHO surgical safety checklist and SBAR have gained widespread attention and implementation in healthcare. However, there has also been criticism. With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the need for knowledge about how safety routines work in practice is larger than ever. In light of these obstacles, I suggest two approaches to the study of healthcare safety routines, based
Therapy resistance remains one of the major challenges for cancer treatment that largely limits treatment benefits and patient survival. The underlying mechanisms that lead to therapy resistance are highly complicated because of the specificity to the cancer subtype and therapy. The expression of the anti-apoptotic protein BCL2 has been shown to be deregulated in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemi
Objectives: In radiotherapy, delineation uncertainties are important as they contribute to systematic errors and can lead to geographical miss of the target. For margin computation, standard deviations (SDs) of all uncertainties must be included as SDs. The aim of this study was to quantify the interobserver delineation variation for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) of peripheral lung tumours
Background The health of people with functional variation in Sweden is worse than people without functional variation. A health-promoting resource in adults’ lives is meaningful employment, and for people with functional variation it means some form of daily activity. The project "Grow with horsepower" is a person-centered and nature-oriented daily activity for people with function variation, who
ObjectiveTricuspid annuloplasty is associated with increased risk of atrioventricular block and subsequent implantation of a permanent pacemaker. However, the exact incidence of permanent pacemaker, associated risk factors, and outcomes in this frame remain debated. The aim of the study was to report permanent pacemaker incidence, risk factors, and outcomes after tricuspid annuloplasty from nation
We determined A/H1N1-HA antibodies in relation to HLA-DQ genotypes and islet autoantibodies at clinical diagnosis in 1141 incident 0.7-18 years old type 1 diabetes patients diagnosed April 2009 - December 2010. Antibodies to (35) S-methionine-labeled A/H1N1 hemagglutinin were determined in a radiobinding assay in patients diagnosed before (n=325), during (n=355) and after (n=461) the October 2009
