Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate whether changes in cerebrovascular voltage-dependent calcium channels and non-selective cation channels contribute to the enhanced endothelin-1-mediated vasoconstriction in the delayed hypoperfusion phase after experimental transient forebrain ischaemia. Methods: Experimental forebrain ischaemia was induced in Wistar male rats by a two-vessel occlusion m
The evaluation of satellite precipitation products (SPPs) at regional and local scales is essential in improving satellite-based algorithms and sensors, as well as in providing valuable guidance when choosing alternative precipitation data for the local community. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) has made significant contributions to the development of various SPPs since its launch i

The thesis aims at deconstructing the sustainable tourism paradigm: can tourism be "a global strategy for sustainable development", as the tourist industry claims? And will developing countries in particular profit from tourism development?To most international organizations and institutions (from the World Wide Fund for Nature to The World Bank), tourism, if carefully managed, is a positive, sust
Våra relationer till platser präglas ofta av ett känslomässigt engagemang som kan ta sig uttryck i såväl trygg hemkänsla som destruktiv främlingsfientlighet. Samtidigt tar vi platser för givna. Det hör knappast till vardagen att vi problematiserar de kopplingar som ständigt skapas mellan platser, vår egen identitet och vårt förhållningssätt till omvärlden. I en tid då platser konkurrerar med varan
In boreal and nemoboreal forests, tree frost hardiness is modified in reaction to cues from day length and temperature. The dehardening processes in Norway spruce, Picea abies, could be estimated to start when the daily mean temperature is above 5 degreesC for 5 days. Bud burst will occur approximately after 120-170 degree-days above 5 degreesC. dependent on genetic differences among provenances.
Background: Adherence to topical corticosteroids (TCS) is essential for the effective treatment of atopic dermatitis but can be limited by concerns about their use. This study examined the feasibility of applying the validated TOPICOP score for assessing TCS phobia across different countries. Methods: This was a prospective multicentre feasibility study conducted in 21 hospitals in 17 countries. P
Education reform in the Muslim Middle East is the crossroad of globalization, rapid economic development, socio-political changes and religious ideologies. The diverse pattern of the reforms is the reflection of the complexity across the region; affected by domestic factors and the nature and extent of the linkage to the global forces. Despite differences, reforms share four common interlinked fea
The requirements within the field of business and human rights are under constant change and rapid development. One of the foundational frameworks for ensuring the corporate responsibility to respect human rights is established in the globally endorsed United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. This thesis establishes what the framework outlines regarding the requirements for
Mitigation of climate change as the main goal of the Paris Agreement aims to keep the global mean temperature at 1.5 Celsius. As of now daily global temperature are surpassing this threshold which indicates the urgency to reenact more work in limiting green house gas emissions and at the same time optimize sequestration of carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere. One key instrument to sequester c
Title: Bothness Despite Otherness: A Synergistic Approach in a NorthSouth Social Enterprise fusing Mutual Collaboration with Degrowth Values Authors: Ricarda Becker and Ladina Kaupp Supervisor: John Murray, Lund University, Sweden Purpose: This thesis aims to identify how mutual collaboration practices are infused with degrowth values within a business context that spans the Global North and the
The foundation of this research lies in the recent shift of Swedish foreign policy, where the current government chose to abolish the feminist foreign policy in favor of pursuing a primarily Swedish and European foreign policy. The objects of the study are two governments: the current liberal and conservative government and the former social democratic and green government. This research investiga
In a time where political populism and critiques against the international human rights paradigm has resulted in a global backlash against global governance systems, including human rights, the thesis sets out to explore the notion of human rights cities as a prospective mean to confront contemporary social challenges related to social inclusion and participation. The thesis relies on an emerging
I oktober 2014 antog Human Rights Council en resolution som fördömer “unilateral coercive measures”, det vill säga ensidigt riktade ekonomiska sanktioner, som ett brott mot FN-stadgan, internationell rätt och rätten till utveckling. USA är ett av de länder som mest frekvent använder sig av ekonomiska sanktioner mot andra länder och sedan Donald Trump tillträdde som president 2017 har detta använda
This thesis explores discrepancies in climate change policy and practice, located at the intersection of the politics of sustainability, climate financing, and critical development studies. Using Danish public climate aid as a case study, the thesis investigates how the structure of climate aid inhibits or supports access for adaptation for vulnerable areas. Public climate finance is urgently nee
