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

The broadcasting sector is rapidly developing and has undergone major changes during the last decades when numerous private broadcasters have entered the market following the abolishment of state monopolies. The sector has always been subject to state regulation and in order to maintain a certain quality and availability of broadcasting, the national states grant financial support to broadcasters

I denna uppsats används reflexiva etnografiska metoder för att problematisera relationen mellan bidrag från Väst, den Kenyanska samhälleliga kontexten och HBTQ-organisationer. Ett queerteoretisk, intersektionellt perspektiv används för att undersöka ämnen som bidrag, bidragskrav, mänskliga rättigheter och kulturrelativism för att förstå hur bidrag från Västerländska institutioner som NGOs och myndThis thesis uses reflexive ethnographic methods to problematise the relationship between Western aid, the Kenyan societal context and LGBTI-rights organisations. It takes a queer theoretical intersectional approach to the themes aid and aid conditionality, human rights, and cultural relativism in order to understand how aid from Western institutions such as NGOs and governments affects the work of

Wastewater is an excellent source of nutrients and energy. By treating the wastewater in a clever way, it is possible to both recycle nutrients and recover energy, and thereby create opportunities for a sustainable system. In conventional wastewater treatment where the activated sludge process is used, aeration is needed and a lot of biomass is produced. In regions with warmer climate, or if low-v

This study investigates how regionalism and regional identity is perceived and promoted in the Oresund region including a specific focus on Malmö, particularly from the perspective of the Oresund committee as an actor. The relevance of this focus is sanctioned by reported growth of regionalism in the Oresund region, and the sparse amount of research in whether organizations and their work could be

Polyphenols are a group of compounds that are widely spread in the plant kingdom. These compounds are of great interest for researchers because of their antioxidant properties that are important for both plant life and human health. Sample preparation is a crucial step for the determination of phenolic compounds and their metabolites in biological samples. Methods for isolation and preconcentratio

This report details the process around the makings of a board game made for the Degree Project for Bachelor of Arts in Industrial Design, spring semester 2014. The game has a background story, which is to simulate the parliamentary workings of a society teetering on the edge between autocracy and democracy and the factional struggles within its parliament. The background story sets the premise of

Foreign invested SMEs have recently become increasingly interested in China. The enterprises are in this report categorized as second wave companies since they follow the footsteps of previous pioneers, of which mostly were larger companies. The ambitions of the SMEs are either to sell products on the ever expanding Chinese market or to utilize the potential of low cost production for global marke
