Since the 1980s, community seed banks (CSBs) have been established around the world to conserve and improve access to indigenous seed for smallholder communities and contribute to food and seed sovereignty. However, after the withdrawal of external support, these CSB initiatives often collapse. Using a qualitative, comparative case study design, this study provides an in-depth analysis of CSBs est
Unga lagöverträdare har sedan länge särbehandlats inom svensk straffrätt. Grunden för särbehandlingen bygger på unga lagöverträdares mognad, sanktionskänslighet och tolerans från samhället. Särbehandlingen är som mest omfattande för personer under 15 år och sträcker sig upp till 20 år. Under senare år har särbehandlingen av unga lagöverträdare varit under politisk diskussion och 2021 beslutade lYoung offenders have been treated different from other offenders within the Swedish criminal law system since decades ago. This is because of young offender’s maturity, sensitivity against sanctions and tolerance from society. The difference in treatment is most noticeable for individuals under the age of 15 but can as well be seen up to the age of 20. The special treatment of young offenders has
Focusing on the complexity of power relations is fundamental to understand and address the effects of climate change. For this reason, this thesis focuses on understanding how climate change impacts affect power relations both between men and women, and between people and nature, in the context of Tutimayu, a territory in rural Bolivia. To provide an adequate analysis of these two types of power r
Title: Music teachers' practising of music - thoughts and values from a few music teachers. This study is about music teachers' valuation of practising music. The study is focused on the music that these teachers are devoted to but is not a part of their teaching in music. The papershows how the relation between music teachers and their ability to be devoted to practising music of their ow
Titel: Rockmusic preferences in the rock programme. Popular culture, music preferences and repertoire inside a teaching institution. This paper raises some questions about the popular music that exists outside as well as inside institutions. From the example of popular music and rockmusic the students of a music teacher education programme based on rock music are asked for their taste for music in
Although direct taxation falls under the sovereignty of each individual Member State, that sovereignty must be practiced with respect for community legislation and the EC Treaty. National legislation that in any way hinders the freedoms guaranteed by the Treaty or discourages nationals of a Member State to practice those freedoms is infringing the EC Treaty and is not to be tolerated. The number o
In the past three decades, food packaging technology has undergone rapid change and the interest for packaging performance has increased. In developing countries, the main focus is to drive down the prices, resulting in primary packaging that often requires a greater need for a stronger secondary packaging than other countries. Yet at the same time, it is seldom that the primary and secondary pack

This thesis examines cluster and innovation system theory’s answer to why some firms, and not others, based in particular nations achieve international success in distinct segments, and the European Union’s recent policy efforts based on such theories. On this background a discussion on the changes needed in national economic policymaking among EU Member States when the EU starts taking a cluster
The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyse the problems surrounding the conflict between fundamental rights and common market freedoms, as they appear in the Laval and Viking judgements. The overall question that this work intends to answer is when a collective action undertaken by trade unions of a Member State for curbing the freedom of an undertaking to enter the market of another Me
Category appellation for vulnerable groups in society seems to be afflicted more often by language change in contrast to changes in the general language. Especially this is the case with terms for persons who have mental and/or physical disabilities. This bachelor essay is about the innovations and alternations to the technical language used in human service organization, and the importance of thi
The study examines a supporting female film character in drama film since 2006 until today. She is characterized through their work as a prostitute, stripper or dominatrix, and the lack of dramatic development that is often replaced by a contributory to the main character’s development. Where earlier studies of this character type has confirmed their role as a bad example, this essay emphasizes th
To avoid incorrectly manufactured components, the modern quality development focus towards preventive actions and process improvements. Therefore, a function as acceptance control is not of particular interest. This report treats the activities that have to take place at Gambro Lundia Monitor Division, GLAB MD, in order to get satisfactory quality of purchased components. The Incoming Inspection i
In addition to their fundamental role in clearance, the kidneys release select molecules into the circulation, but whether any of these anabolic functions provides insight on kidney health is unknown. Using aptamer-based proteomics, we characterized arterial (A)-to-renal venous (V) gradients for >1,300 proteins in 22 individuals who underwent invasive sampling. Although most of the proteins that c
Protein-based drugs often require targeted drug delivery for optimal therapy. A successful strategy to increase the circulation time of the protein in the blood is to link the therapeutic protein with an albumin-binding domain. In this work, we characterized such a proteinbased drug, GA-Z. Using asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation coupled with multi-angle light scattering (AF4-MALS) we inve
Ammonia (NH3) is considered a promising alternative fuel, capable of producing energy with zero CO2 emissions. Its combustion, however, poses a series of challenges due to the low reactivity of NH3 and the formation of very high quantities of NOx. This work numerically investigates the combustion and emission characteristics of ammonia in three modern stationary gas turbine concepts, namely (a) le
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are potentially greener solvents obtained through the complexation of simple precursors which, among other applications, have been investigated in recent years for their ability to support the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules. It is crucial to understand the factors which influence surfactant solubility and self-assembly with respect to the interaction of the sur
Sulfur and nitrogen oxides (SOx and NOx) are harmful pollutants emitted into the atmosphere by industry and transport sectors. In addition to being hazardous gases, SOx and NOx form sulfuric and nitric acids which contribute to the formation of airborne particulate matter through nucleation and condensation, hence magnifying the environmental impact of these species. In this work, we build a model
