Despite the fact that some forecasts suggest that a large number of individuals could become displaced by 2050, the institutional and operational linkages between climate and cross-border displacement continues to be complex. While refugees and IDPs are treated according to specific treaties, the status of cross-border displacement as a result of disasters suffers from a normative gap and the link

Economic sanctions are a widely used, yet controversial international policy tool. This paper aims to examine the trade deflecting effects of Russian sent import sanctions on the Finnish exports. This effect is analyzed by estimating a gravity equation of trade by applying Pseudo-Poisson Maximum Likelihood and Ordinary Least Squares estimators. The data covers Finnish export in the sanctioned prod

Within 10 years the outlook on Africa has shifted from a continent of destitute to the potential next new emerging market. This study is relevant in this regard to investigate to what extent SSA countries are reaping the benefits of foreign investment inflows and the absorptive capacities necessary to benefit from FDI. A cross sectional analysis was done on 34 countries in Sub-Sahara Africa for th

This research puts together two massive areas: voluntary certification programmes, specifically Type I ecolabelling (ISO 14024), aimed to incentivise and assist in providing customers with sustainable in all meanings products; and rechargeable batteries – inalienable element of portable electronic products. Moreover, the importance of batteries lifts up to an absolutely new level – with a rapid de

Bakgrund: av de som dog i Sverige 2010 var åttio procent i behov av palliativ vård. De flesta hade närstående vid sin sida. Tidigare forskning har visat att närstående upplever höga krav utifrån att bli vårdare och tvingas således in i en vårdande roll, med bristande stöd från vårdpersonal. Syfte: att beskriva personers upplevelser av att vara närstående vid palliativ vård. Metod: en litteraturstu

Psykologyrket kan vara berikande och skapa en känsla av meningsfullhet och därigenom ge upphov till Compassion Satisfaction. Men det kan också bidra till negativa effekter som utbrändhet och sekundär traumatisering, vilket beskrivs med termen Compassion Fatigue. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om handledning och medvetenhet kring motöverföring är associerat med mindre Compassion Fatigue

This thesis applies an ethnographic approach to investigate museum visit practices, which shape user experiences in a design museum. Specifically, it explores individual users’ meaning making processes through the embodiment of thoughts and lived experiences. To frame the study, it takes on a phenomenological approach to investigate how the body, self, space, and objects relate with each other in

With a contentious and fractious debate surrounding the role of conflict in inducing migration, global governments are still in the process of unravelling the convoluted and intricate mechanisms that engender this movement of people. Whilst many theoretical approaches have been developed, no determinable consensus has been reached. Within an era characterized by pervasive violence on the world sta

Urininkontinens är ett folkhälsoproblem som berör cirka 40 procent av den äldre befolkningen och drygt en halv miljon personer över 65 år har besvär med urininkontinens i Sverige. Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka erfarenheter distriktssköterskor har av förskrivning av inkontinenshjälpmedel till äldre personer inom hemsjukvården. Kvalitativa intervjuer har valts som metod till denna studi

In the study of the income inequality vis-a-vis job polarization two hypothesis, somewhat complementary and somewhat contending, have been emerged in the literature as possible causal pathways for the increasing income inequality trends seen across countries: (1) Skill-biased technical change and (2) Routine biased technical change. However, empirical panel studies that critically evaluate these p

With rapid urbanization and population growth, Addis Ababa faces a big challenge of dealing with slums in the inner city. It has used up most of its space within its boundary and there are now a number of projects on the pipe line to redevelop the inner city slums. This seems to be the single most pressing issue currently. The recent public housing projects and inner city renewal programs has cau

Förutom kunskaper inom medicin och omvårdnad krävs det att distriktssköterskan i telefonrådgivningen har god förmåga till kommunikation. Studiens syfte var att undersöka distriktssköterskans upplevelse av faktorer som kan påverka kommunikationen i telefonrådgivningen. Studien genomfördes med kvalitativ metod i form av nio halvstrukturerade intervjuer i en stad i södra Sverige. Att göra bedömningar

Presterar barn som blivit ammade bättre inom utbildning och arbetsmarknad som ungdomar och vuxna? Investeringar i insatser som främjar och stödjer amning kan leda till mer humankapital på lång sikt. Amning har många hälsorelaterade fördelar för både mamma och barn, trots detta byts bröstmjölk allt för ofta ut mot modersmjölksersättning. Denna studie jämför långsiktiga prestationer inom utbildning Does being breastfed as a baby lead to better achievements in education and on the labour market as an adolescent and adult? Investing money on interventions promoting and sustaining breastfeeding might lead to more human capital and be an economic gain in the long-run. Breastfeeding has many health-related benefits for both mother and child, nevertheless breast milk all too often gets substituted

Människor använder sig av kognitiva förenklingar vid beslutsfattande under osäkerheten. I en riskkontext skulle detta kunna leda till en bristande fördelning av resurser och härigenom en oförmåga att hantera uppkomna händelser. För att kunna handskas med dessa faktorer är det därför viktigt att vetskapen om kognitiva förenklingar tydliggörs och att människor erbjuds olika metoder och strategier föThe aim of this thesis is to detect the influence from biases on capability assessments and methods to prevent them. Evaluation of the influence from biases are based on literature studies and interviews. The result suggests that some of the biases are more likely to occur depending on the context. Three biases occurred most frequently both in the literature studies and during the interviews and t

Furformationen i Danmark är en 54 miljoner år gammal Konservat-lagerstätte med ett rikt register av exceptionellt bevarade fossil. Den unika bevaringen bidrar med information som vanligtvis inte förekommer i det fossila arkivet, såsom mjukdelar. Från Furformationen är mjukdelar som hår, hud, fjädrar och ögon kända. De är bevarade i en marin diatomit, antingen som förkolnade avtryck eller som tredi

This study aims to explore the development of a self-motivated (e.g. not policy or regulation initiated) closed-loop, clothing take-back program within a large sized enterprise in the fashion/apparel industry. From the perspective of a single case study – that of the Eileen Fisher Renew program – this thesis aims to explore, outline and describe EF Renew’s business model. The ultimate goal is to d

Bakterier har också skelett Bakteriers cytoskelett består av olika typer av proteiner, som ansvarar för bland annat bakteriers rigiditet och form samt är delaktiga i olika tillväxtprocesser. En grupp cytoskelettproteiner som är delaktiga i just tillväxtprocesser är intermediära filament (IF). Syftet med arbetet var att försöka identifiera nya IF i bakterien Streptomyces coelicolor, en viktig baktCoiled coil is a simple and versatile type of protein fold. Proteins with this kind of structure play roles in a numerous kind of cellular processes, e.g. DNA repair, nucleoid organization, and cytoskeletal functions. Cytoskeletal intermediate filament (IF) proteins are an example of proteins containing large coiled coil domains. The eukaryotic cytoskeletal proteins tubulin and actin have well-stu

Development aid organizations are increasingly turning their focus on men and masculinities in the pursuit of women’s empowerment. Despite much effort to improve the lives of women, the hegemonic definition of empowerment in economic and individualistic terms have not been able to attack the unequal power structures between men and women, causing them to persist until this day. This essay explores

Managing water in urban areas is an ever increasingly complex challenge. Technology enables sustainable urban water management and with integrated smart metering solu- tions, massive amounts of water consumption data from the end users can be collected. However, the possibility of generating data from the end user holds no value in itself. It is with the use of data analysis the vast amount of the
