The issue of security is still an aspect of concern for domestic and international politics. In Southeast Asia, in 2003, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) agreed to establish three pillars for the future single community by 2015: the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC), the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), and the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC). To live at peace with o
The target shaft in the Target Station of the ESS facility rotates and supports the target wheel and serves as an inflow and outflow for the coolant. Different kinds of stresses that the target shaft is exposed to can create defects or ruptures. Therefore the target shaft has to be monitored so material damage can be avoided. The objective of this master thesis was to investigate the possibility f
Cloud computing is an infrastructure that allows companies to rent any type of computing resources, such as network capacity and processing power, according to their current needs. Rather than a new technology, cloud computing is a new way of delivering computing resources. Despite the advantages that this infrastructure brings, it still poses many threats in several areas. In Sweden alone one thi
The aim of this thesis was to identify the implications of the normative premises which are present in the NGO AgainstHTR-S, which works with assistance of victims of human trafficking for sexual purposes. This in order to outline how and why the NGO has the potential to adapt its “Attention Model” to the needs of the individual. In conjunction with a field work in Costa Rica, empirical data was g
As aerosol particles are important for global climate effects, their sources and influence on global aerosol particle concentrations need to be quantified. One of the major aerosol sources in the atmosphere is new particle formation (NPF) of new nanometer sized particles in the atmosphere. The influence on the global aerosol concentration due to NPF events is however not well quantified. The goals
Uppsatsen ämnar att undersöka hur ledare i serviceorganisationer kan använda idrottsinspirerade verktyg för att hjälpa medarbetarna att prestera i sanningens ögonblick samt för att främja sammanhållning i gruppen. Genom tio kvalitativa intervjuer med ledare i serviceorganisationer och för idrottslag identifierar vi idrottsinspirerade verktyg för serviceorganisationer att ta hjälp av för att utveck
Vi har alla vittnat om att den Globala finanskrisen negativt påverkat många länders ekonomier. Inte minst har bilindustrin drabbats väldigt hårt och osäkerheten bland människor har ökat. I många länder har biltillverkningen sjunkit och orsakat betydande problem för världens bilproducenter. Krisen slog dessutom hårt åt de svenska biltillverkarna Volvo och Saab. Volvo Personbilar har en stark tradit
A variety of theories concerning the determinants of public spending on education exist, but an encompassing one has yet to be formulated. Frequently examined determinants are regime type and globalization, but the empirical results for these variables are not consistent across studies. This paper contributes to the literature by anecdotally demonstrating that insufficient theory can lead to a lac
In January 2011, Marine Le Pen was elected the new president of the French right populist political party Front National (“National Front”), a role she took over from her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who had been the president since the creation of the party in 1972. To deal with the somewhat dubious past of Front National, and in order to make it more commonly accepted in the political sphere, Mari
Att börja arbeta varumärkesdrivet handlar mycket om att alla organisationsmedlemmar arbetar i en gemensam riktning. I en sådan fas får mellanchefer en nyckelroll, både som länk mellan ledning och medarbetare och som bärare av vision och strategi. Det är därför intressant att studera kommunikationsprocessen ur mellanchefernas perspektiv. Syftet är att öka förståelsen för hur den interna kommunikati
Health has been a recurring topic on the development agenda during the recent decades. During the 1980ies and 1990ies there was a great focus on the impact of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. In 2001 these three diseases were included in the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) alongside with the health goals of reducing maternal and child mortality until 2015. As
Inom historievetenskapen betraktas ofta första världskriget som en historisk och kulturell brytpunkt; en vattendelare mellan 1800-talets fullständiga och 1900-talets villkorliga framstegstro. Trots tolkningens genomslagskraft har den sällan undersökts empiriskt. I föreliggande uppsats studeras den samlade textproduktionen från dagstidningarna Arbetet (socialdemokratisk), Dagens Nyheter (liberal) o
Social services work with violent fathers The objective of this study was to review and analyze how social workers, employed by the Swedish social services, work with fathers that are domestically violent and to discuss their views and perceptions on this issue. Domestic violence is traditionally considered a private matter, and in the past has largely not been considered a child protection issue
Sweden is a country which is often praised for its commitment to gender equality, as expressed through its high female parliamentary representation and its adoption of measures such as the criminalisation of sex purchase. What many forget, however, is the role of the feminist movement in bringing this about and the large degree of resistance which it has often faced from the Swedish political esta
In this thesis I examine the connection between female embodiment and subjectivation, technologization of reproduction and rationalities of government in Ukraine, where assisted reproductive technologies (ART) were introduced not so long ago, but have already become part of the lived experience of numerous women and heated a large debate in society about the nature of women, motherhood, national d
This thesis explores the insecurities of female maquila workers in Nicaragua in order to derive policy implications for the Nicaraguan state. These workers are deeply embedded in gendered and neoliberal structures of the global political economy. Based on theories of the social contract, the state is identified as being responsible for ensuring human security for its citizens. Using observations,
Abstract Title: The Path Dependency of former monopolists Seminar date: 2013-05-30 Course: FEKN90 Företagsekonomi: Examensarbete på Civilekonomprogrammet (30 ECTS) Authors: Niklas Sandberg and Henrik Karlsson Advisor: Matts Kärreman Five key words: Monopolist, Path dependency, Strategy, Competition and Deregulation Purpose: To explain how path dependency is affecting the strategies of former mon
In this work, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was combined with dielectrophoresis (DEP) to realize a controllable in situ detection method of enhanced Raman signals from molecules in suspension environment. Polymer beads coated with gold nanoparticles were prepared as SERS ‘hot spot’ substrates. Several DEP electrode designs were evaluated and the stripe electrode succeeded in manipulat
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the short story ”Ukannis al-shams ‘an al-suṭūḥ” by Ḥanān al-Shaykh from a postcolonial perspective. The analysis is based on the theories of Edward Said, Chandra Mohanty, Suha Sabbagh, Judith E. Tucker and Frantz Fanon. I have examined whether stereotypes of people, particularly Muslim women, from the Arab world can be found in the short story, and whether any
