This thesis addresses the right to education and its implementation. It briefly assesses the right to education while focussing on the right to primary education. The implementation of human rights as stated in international instruments can meet with hindrance in the form of cultural relativist arguments as well as resistance on pragmatic grounds. The case study carried out in Tanzania aims at ass
Climate change is a threat facing the planet which could bring disastrous consequences. In the globalised world, states are less capable of fighting this threat alone&semic it is also necessary that companies take on this challenge. Amongst other people, this idea is supported by Kofi Annan and Nicolas Stern. One of the ways in which this is done is through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR

Detta examensarbete behandlar ur ett konkurrensrättsligt perspektiv hur inträdesbarriärer tolkats i relation till innovationsmarknader inom EU-rätten. Vidare innehåller arbetet en de lege ferenda analys av hur inträdesbarriärer bör tolkas baserat på nationalekonomiska teorier. Examensarbetet tar sin utgångspunkt i de båda konkurrensrättsliga artiklarna i Fördraget om Europeiska Unionens funktionsThis thesis deals with how barriers to entry theory has been interpreted in an innovation markets context in the EU legal order. It further offers an analysis of how barriers to entry should be interpreted using an economics based approach. The scope for this thesis is TFEU Art 101 and Art 102, from which an ex-ante and an ex-post approach on barriers to entry analysis has emanated. The ex-ante a
Krig ser idag inte ut som de en gång gjorde; totala krig har ersatts med inomstatliga konflikter och humanitära interventioner. I och med detta har även staters roll som ensamma aktörer förändrats och idag finns det även privata aktörer som är aktiva i krig. Denna uppsats har ett dualt syfte där den dels syftar till att utveckla just war-teorin till att även kunna inkludera dessa nya aktörer, dels
The purpose of the master thesis is to optimize the stock holding levels of Arla Foods´ products in the National Distribution Centre in Leeds, by constructing a replenishment model for selected products. Deliverables: The focus of the master thesis has been to develop a replenishment model in order to better control and reduce the stock levels. Methodology: We focused primarily on gaining a deeper
This theoretical reflection study is a narrative self-representation that uses autoethnographical methodology to illustrate the learning outcome of the project developed while enrolled at the Entrepreneurship programme in Lund University School of Economics and Management. In the study I will use data collected extensively throughout the programme as weekly submitted learning journals. It will be
This study examines the response of the volatility in the Swedish stock market to positive and negative surprise return shocks. The study also explores the behaviour of the volatility following near-zero return shocks. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first study analysing the Swedish stock market volatility using two asymmetric econometric time series models, EGARCH and the GJR model, impli
A 3m ground-based optical telescope, with active and adaptive optics, is a powerful and versatile research tool. This type of telescopes is affordable and manageable also for communities with limited previous telescope experience. While there are many scientific and technical reports regarding modern 3m class telescopes, there is no document giving a comprehensive description. This paper is an att
The present thesis deals with the unsatisfactory access of the blind and visually impaired persons to accessible copyrighted materials as part of the clash of human rights and intellectual property rights. Therefore, numerous human rights of these groups of people affected by the lack of access to copyrighted works are studied. Finally, the World intellectual Property Organisation Draft Treaty for
Abstract The purpose with this study is to look into whether there is a difference in the reputa-tion/status of the university immigrants and native Swedes choose. The composition of stu-dents at two universities is compared, Malmö University and Lund University. The objective is to investigate whether there are more immigrants, first- and/or second generation, studying at Malmö University compare
En proglacial miljö är en integrerad del av ett glacialt landskap, där smältvattensavlagrade landformer är vanligt förekommande. Deras utseende är beroende av ett antal olika faktorer, så som processer aktiva under transport och deposition samt ursprungsmaterialets karaktär. Denna artikel syftar till att undersöka två terrestra smältvattens-successioner från de terminala delarna av glaciären MyrdaProglacial environments are an integrated part of the glacier landscape, housing a variety of landforms fed by glacier meltwater. Their appearance is dependent on a number of factors, such as the variability of source material and processes active during the transportation and deposition. The present work aims to investigate two such terrestrial outwash successions from the terminus region of the
The granite massif in the Tjärnesjö area, southwestern Sweden, was deformed and metamorphosed under granulite facies conditions in late Sveconorwegian time. The intrusive is dominated by a coarse-grained, megacrystic orthoclase granite. Pb-Pb evaporation datings on single zircons from the granite yield an age of ca. 1.36 Ga, interpreted as the intrusion age. A similar age was obtained on zircons f
This article explores walking both as a methodological device, paying close attention to the ethnographer’s own positionality and experiences, and as a form of embodied and emplaced experience of and with heritage sites and urban changes. Walking is an important aspect of how people engage with and experience heritage that draws attention to its emplaced, performative and transformative qualities.
Background: It is time-consuming for oncologists to delineate volumes for radiotherapy treatment in computer tomography (CT) images. Automatic delineation based on image processing exists, but with varied accuracy and moderate time savings. Using convolutional neural network (CNN), delineations of volumes are faster and more accurate. We have used CTs with the annotated structure sets to train and
Analyzing genomic data across populations is central to understanding the role of genetic factors in health and disease. Successful data sharing relies on public support, which requires attention to whether people around the world are willing to donate their data that are then subsequently shared with others for research. However, studies of such public perceptions are geographically limited and d
