This paper analyzes the effect of overlapping Trade blocs on Trade Facilitation. Using the time, documents and costs incurred as trade facilitation indicators, simulations show interesting yet important effects of an increase in Regional Trade Agreements on trade costs. The results suggest that when it comes to increasing regional trade agreements by 1%, costs are associated with an increase via t

Over the last ten years young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) in Sweden have increased from three to almost sixteen percent. During the same period, decentralization of active labour market programs from central to local governments have been implemented. Consequently, since 2005 Swedish municipalities have a statutory obligation to offer young people in NEET appropriate sup

Many modern psychological theories still assume that humans know about themselves to a wide and accurate extent, in line with the early classical cognitive frameworks. Other competing frameworks, such as dynamic cognition, propose that intelligent behavior can arise from an interaction between the brain, body, and environment, without the need of manipulating explicitly represented knowledge-state

Ett insättningselement på MAX IV är en förutsättning för det ljus man vill skapa, men påverkar elektronerna som far runt i anläggningen negativt - med hjälp av smarta elektromagneter kan detta lösas. MAX IV är en partikelaccelerator i världsklass. I anläggningen i utkanten av Lund swishar elektronerna i ljusets hastighet runt i enorma ringar av vakuumrör. Till skillnad från vad många tror krockasWhen installing an insertion device (ID) in a storage ring the electron beam is affected. The positional displacement and angle deflection is called orbit displacement (OD) and higher order effects such as focusing of the electron beam are referred to as linear optics. The ability to perform multiple simultaneous experiments is crucial in a synchrotron light source such as MAX IV. This is impossib

The recent success story of gender equality in Sweden puts a shadow over the circumstances during Swedish industrialization when women both lost and won important positions in the economy and in society. Female labor force participation rates developed differently around the Swedish regions between 1870 and 1950 and regional heterogeneity can explain some of the variations where higher urbanizatio

The most central for the population to grow is the fertility rate. When the birth rate is not the most central for an individual the conditions change the population growth. The fertility rate in Sweden is around 1,88 children per woman, although there has been a drastic increase in the population. This increase, which is a combination of the domestic birth rate and an external increase, has given

Syfte: att ta reda på om anställdas motivation påverkas om företaget har implementerat ett hållbart förhållningssätt som ska påverka miljön positivt. Forskningsfråga: Hur påverkas anställdas arbetsmotivation av att företaget har implementerat hållbarhet i verksamheten? Metod: kvalitativ, abduktiv Teoretiska perspektiv: agentteori, motivationsfaktorer, motivations påverkan på lönsamhet EmpirPurpose: To examine whether the motivation among employees is affected when the company implement sustainability. Research question: To what extent is the work motivation among employees affected by the company’s initiative to implement sustainability in the business. Methodology: Quantitative, abductive Theoretical perspectives: Agent theory, motivational factor, motivation as an influence

Denna uppsats ämnar att undersöka och omdefiniera den parasociala relationen och har haft som ambition att förstå dess natur i det nya socialt kodade medialandskapet. Det är med bakgrund till den snabbt utvecklade sociala mötesplats som internet blivit som motiverar val av ämne. Vårt beteende har mer och mer förflyttats till internet och därmed bör våra sociala relationer studeras där liksom det t

Ventilation fans that are operating during fire in residential buildings is the dominating solution regarding smoke spread prevention in Sweden. Variable flows, in form of kitchen ventilation, has some effect on the system, but it is hard toestimate how much. The effects of forced ventilation and how to consider it when verifying the system has been studied in this report. The amount of forced flo

Molecular data have offered new opportunities to resolve phylogenies especially in highly diverse and species-rich groups. The resolution of evolutionary relationships within Lepidoptera have progressed with the development of molecular methods. New species and genera are regularly described for the recently studied noctuoid moth subfamily Nolinae. Because of the limits of morphological characters

A responsible and sustainable water resources management is important. It is also crucial to take the presence of watercourses into account during design of hydraulic structures such as small dams and bridges. Doing this requires knowledge of estimates of annual streamflow and extreme flows to be used for design purposes. This study is divided into two parts, both focusing on the departments of Sa

Aktivitetsbaserade kontor blir ett allt vanligare val av kontorsutformning bland dagens företag, är det av intresse att utreda vilken påverkan det har på utrymning. Det aktivitetsbaserade kontorskonceptet innebär att de traditionella fasta skrivbordsplatserna försvinner från kontoren. De traditionella öppna kontorsytorna ersätts istället med en diversifierad arbetsmiljö, där de anställda kan väljaThe aim of the report is to investigate factors related to the implementation of activity-based offices, which has an impact on emergency egress. To reveal which factors that have impact on emergency egress, multiple methods were utilized throughout the report. By searching through published literature and relevant theories to the subject, a theoretical foundation was compiled. Information was als

As one of the world leaders in food packaging, it is in the interest of Tetra Pak⃝R to increase the understanding of packaging material and how it can better be virtually modeled, using finite element (FE) simulations. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate whether a stochastic approach can be taken to generate a more realistic response than a purely deterministic one, in the aforementioned models.

The Crevice - A theater in the open air on the coast of Portugal strives to prove a link between man made and natural formations. I marvel why the development of our human civilization keeps being branded as artificial with a negative connotation. I believe our built habitat is commonly considered somewhat less natural than bird’s neatly constructed nests or polar bears burrowing into snow and r

Malaria är idag en av världens vanligaste och dödligaste sjukdomar; bara år 2015 avled nästan en halv miljon människor i malaria vilket gör malariamyggan till det dödligaste djuret på jordklotet. Det stora problemet med Malaria är att det inte finns något tillgänglingt vaccin/medicin för fattiga i utsatta länder; det som finns på marknaden idag är malariaprofylax som fungerar både som vaccin och mInsects can be mapped using a method called Scheimpflug Lidar (LIght Detection And Ranging). Sending out light in the near infrared range and detecting the backscattered echo, it is possible to resolve flying organisms in range and time. Insect observations can be distinguished from the background signal through adaptive thresholding. The detected signal will contain two components; one from lig

The main purpose of this thesis is to present and analyse the Swedish sixteenth-century Catholic priest Andreas Servius’ prayer book Någre Christilige och Catholische böner printed in the Silesian city of Neisse year 1593. The general questions of the study are: which where the main sources of the prayers found in this prayer book? What characteristics typical for the period’s piety can be found i
