Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to study if and how Swedish accounting regulation create misunderstandings between Swedish aid agencies and stakeholders. Further we are going to analyze if there is a need to improve Swedish accounting regulation to increase faith between the agency and its stakeholders. Methodology: The study is based on a qualitative approach and the primary sources consis

Event är korta tidsintervall som skiljer längre episoder med stabila oceaniska förhållanden från varandra. När cirkulationen i världshaven tillfälligt stängs av under ett event förändras fauna- och bergartssammansättningen, och även isotopförhållandena. Målet med detta arbete har varit att utröna hur de sensiluriska brachiopoderna reagerade på det globalt kända Lau Event. På Gotland omfattar det lThe impact of the Ludfordian Lau Primo-Secundo Event on brachiopods from Gotland has been investigated. About 12 000 individuals were identified from five samples. The results are supplemented by an extensive literature study. On Gotland, the Lau Event spans the Botvide Mbr (uppermost När Fm, upper Hemse Group) and the Eke Fm. It caused extinctions, faunal, sedimentary and isotopic changes. Conodo

Stanford, ett mindre samhälle 150 km väst om Kapstaden, har under de senaste åren sett en ökad turism och utveckling, vilket har medfört ett ökat behov av färskvatten. I dagsläget används en naturlig källa som täkt för kommunens vattenbehov, men källans hållbara vattenavgivningsförmåga på 33 000 m3/månad är otillräcklig och en kompletterande täkt är nödvändig. Stanfordakvifären består av två formaThis study focuses on the Stanford Aquifer which is located in the Overberg region in the Western Cape of South Africa. The ’Eye’, a captured spring, is used as source for potable water for the local municipality and extraction have in recent years exceeded the sustainable yield of 33 000 m3/month and a supplementary source is therefore needed. The aim of this study is to develop a conceptual mode

Zirkon (ZrSiO4) och baddeleyit (ZrO2) är två vanliga zirkoniuminnehållande mineral som båda är viktiga för U-Pb-geokronologi. Zirkon är stabilt under kiselmättade förhållanden medan baddeleyit under kiselmättade förhållanden torde reagera med det tillgängliga kislet och bilda zirkon. Trots detta har baddeleyit observerats som interna domäner i zirkon i kiselmättade bergarter från exempelvis sydväsZircon (ZrSiO4) and baddeleyite (ZrO2) are two common zirconium bearing minerals which are important for U-Pb geochronology. Zircon is stable at silica saturated conditions, while baddeleyite should react with the free silica to form zircon under the same conditions. Yet, baddeleyite have been observed as intergrowths within zircon grains in silica saturated rocks, e.g. from southern West Greenlan

The processes of globalization interfere in every aspect of life. Like societies, nations and communities; individuals and their national identity are also under severe pressure from globalization. The purpose of this thesis is to deepen the understanding of how globalization transforms identity and belonging. Using written literature and qualitative interviews this thesis creates a theoretical ov

In May of 2005 the government of Zimbabwe initiated an eviction campaign called Operation Murambatsvina which rendered approximately 700,000 Zimbabweans homeless. The international community condemned the action and a UN Special Envoy was sent to assess the scope and extent of the Operation. This envoy, as well as numerous NGO reports, touched upon the subject of a ?crimes against humanity? charge

This thesis examines the tension between norms and interests in the European policy on Russia, looking specifically at how this tension manifests itself in the EU's relation to Russia. This is being analysed with the help of two theoretical approaches; the norm-driven and the interest-driven approach. The empirical examination indicates that while the interest-driven approach is explaining the

This study is an attempt to examine the law and practice relating to female genital mutilation in Tanzania. In the course of writing this work, attention is paid to the difference between enforcement of legal and social norms, as this is important in any fight against the deeply entrenched harmful traditional practice of Female Genital Mutilation. In dealing with this problem, the usefulness of us

Intellectual property law seeks to promote society's industrial development through the recognition of patents. The logic of granting patent protection is clear-cut: Patents provide incentives for developing new technology. The lack of an adequate legal protection for innovations would slow progress and the benefits it brings. Without legal protection, companies would be unlikely to spend sign
