Women and Inshore Fisheries in Oceania

Marine invertebrates and seaweeds of the lagoons and reefs have always been an important source of food and raw materials for the people of Oceania. I examine the gathering of these organisms in both contemporary and more ancient contexts, and according to a gender-based division of tasks. It is argued that although men’s fishing has been well documented, until recently women’s inshore fisheries,

Feeling Queer, Feeling Real : Affective Economies of Truth in Queer Asylum Politics

För att beviljas asyl måste queera asylsökande inför myndigheterna bevisa att de verkligen är queera. Om de inte gör det avslås deras ansökan som icke trovärdig och de riskerar att utvisas till sina ursprungsländer. I denna avhandling utforskar jag, genom möten med beslutsfattare, jurister, asylsökande och flyktingar, den affektiva produktionen av (o)trovärdig queerness inom det grekiska asylsysteTo be granted asylum, queer applicants must prove to the examining authorities that they are genuinely queer. Otherwise, their claims are rejected as non-credible, placing them at risk of deportation. In this thesis, I explore the affective production of (in)credible queerness in the Greek asylum apparatus. Through encounters with decision-makers, lawyers, asylum seekers, and refugees, I discuss t

Valorising seaweed : Novel food valuation in everyday encounters

Översatt sammanfattning:Livsmedelsproduktion och konsumtion bidrar i hög grad till utsläppen av växthusgaser. Eftersom det råder bred enighet om att en övergång till hållbara kostvanor och hållbara livsmedelssystem är nödvändig är en strategi att fokusera på nya livsmedel, såsom tidigare outnyttjade resurser, och att integrera dessa i den vardagliga kosten.Marina makroalger (tång), som inte kräverFood production and consumption are significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. As a transition to sustainable diets and sustainable food systems is widely agreed upon, one strategy is to focus on novel foods, such as previously unused resources, and their integration into everyday diets.Marine macroalgae (seaweed), which require no freshwater, agricultural land, or fertilizers, are posi

Publika och privata företags förvärvsbeteende - En empirisk studie av svenska företags samband mellan redovisningsregimer och förvärvsbeteende.

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka om skillnader mellan redovisningsregimerna IFRS och K3 samvarierar med svenska företags val av ägarandel vid företagsförvärv samt med innehavstiden av förvärvade företag. Studien analyserar även resultaten i ljuset av redovisningens roll som institutionell faktor. Teori: Studien utgår från Positive Accounting Theory och kompletteras med skuldkontraktshypoPurpose: This study examines whether differences between the accounting regimes IFRS and K3 are associated with Swedish firms’ choice of ownership share in corporate acquisitions and with the holding period of acquired companies. Theory: The study is grounded in Positive Accounting Theory, complemented by debt covenant hypothesis, accounting conservatism, agency theory and institutional theory. Me

How systemic change is understood by nursing home leaders and implemented using plans of correction

When there is a statement of deficiency given to a nursing home, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires facilities to submit a plan of correction stating how they will create systemic change to prevent recurrence of the incident. This study reviewed 90 statements of deficiency and associated plans of correction from across the United States for abuse, neglect, and exploita

Narrative Ability in Swedish Children Treated for Posterior Fossa Tumours: Macro- and Microstructural Performance Before and 1–4 Weeks After Surgery

ABSTRACT Background Posterior fossa tumours (PFT), among the most common childhood brain tumours, place children at risk of speech, language, and communication difficulties, often described in relation to cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) but also seen in children without mutism. Narrative ability refers to the capacity to understand, create, and share stories. Narratives can be analysed at the macBackgroundPosterior fossa tumours (PFT), among the most common childhood brain tumours, place children at risk of speech, language, and communication difficulties, often described in relation to cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) but also seen in children without mutism.

Longitudinal screening of HLA-risk and HLA-nonrisk children for celiac disease to age 15 years: CiPiS study

ObjectivesAutoantibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG) are serological markers of celiac disease. The aim was to study the applicability of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-genotyping and tTG autoantibodies in the screening of celiac disease in a longitudinal birth cohort followed to age 15 years.MethodsIncluded were 13,860 HLA-DQ-genotyped children at birth and previously invited to a screen

α-Lactose monohydrate – new insights into physicochemical response to temperature and humidity exposure

Environmental relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T) are known to be promoters of physicochemical changes in pharmaceutical grade lactose, either in controlled (supervised conditioning), or uncontrolled (during transit and repository storage) scenarios. Comprehensive knowledge of this excipient's material characteristics prior to its use in formulation development is therefore a fundamental re

Welfare Technology in Practice : A Survey-Based Analysis of User Satisfaction, Expectations, and Needs

There is growing interest in using digital technology like welfare technology (WT) to support older adults (aged 75+) to age in place, particularly in Nordic countries. This cross-sectional survey study (n = 414), conducted in 18 Swedish municipalities, used descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression to examine: user experiences related to satisfaction with WT, as well as users’ expectaThere is growing interest in using digital technology like welfare technology (WT) to support older adults (aged 75+) to age in place, particularly in Nordic countries.

Clinical value of wireless pH-monitoring of gastro-esophageal reflux in children before and after proton pump inhibitors

BackgroundWireless pH-monitoring is an accurate method for diagnosing adults with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of the Bravo capsule on children investigated for GERD in terms of safety, tolerability and feasibility before and after administration of proton pump inhibitors.MethodsA Bravo capsule was inserted during upper endoscopy under gener
