Following 9/11, an explosion of transnational counterterrorism regulations aimed at countering the financing of terrorism has been established. These have since had suffocating effects on aid delivery in areas where designated terrorist organizations are present, resulting in the denying of aid to the most vulnerable. Regardless, transnational regulations have only grown more assertive during the

The human gut contains a vast number of bacteria. These bacteria allow us to digest the complex glycans that are part of our diet but we ourselves cannot digest. Among these bacteria one of the genera that is a major constituent is Bacteroidetes. One of the distinguishing features of this genus is its polysaccharide utilizing loci (PULs), clusters of genes for degradation of specific glycans and e

In the Tanzanian district of Karagwe the NGO KADERES is working with agricultural development. In relation to this they produce fair trade coffee obtained from local farmers. Coffee husks are created as a waste product from the plant and are currently not used for any purpose. Instead they are left outside the factory. The propose of this project is to find a way to create briquettes from these hu

In this thesis, I describe how Heads of Government can mobilise crises to foster unity among EU member states and strengthen the sense of a shared European identity. The thesis analyzed five statements by the Heads of Government in Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Greece, and Luxembourg to gain a more profound understanding of how they strategically used the This is Europe debates to promote unity and

With the rise in urbanization and cities fulfilling sustainability challenges, companies across the globe are moving towards circularity. One approach adopted towards circularity is of reverse logistics where companies take back EOL/EOU products. In the furniture industry, this approach towards circularity is coupled with consumers being asked to transport the EOL/EOU furniture to second-hand/ret

The doctrine of abuse of rights in a general sense is not a new one. According to some scholars it can be traced back to as early as Roman law and statements by Praetor Cicéro regarding the purchase of property. The influence of Roman law can be seen in many Member States today and the theory of abuse of law has lived on in many states such as France. However, the doctrine of abuse in EU law is a

Combined U-Pb and REE trace element LA-ICPMS analyses were performed on zircons, from the scheelite-bearing Wigström skarn, associated micro-granitic dykes and the highly evolved parental Högberget (sensu stricto) granite. Combined systematic of zircon typology and microtextures, trace elements and isotopic chemistry suggest the presence of several diverse zircon types, spanning from early- to lat

With growing awareness about their environmental impact, music festivals have increased their efforts to become greener since the 2000s. In line with this trend, the German Fuchsbau Festival developed a transport plan, taking into account that up to 80.0% of a festival’s emissions are produced through audience travel. Aiming at triggering a greener travel behaviour among its visitors, four measure

Uppsatsen behandlar Storbritanniens nya lagstiftning vars syfte är att motverka terrorism. Lagstiftningen innebär att specifika offentliga myndigheter kan tvingas att förhindra att människor in dras in i terrorism. Lagstiftningen har fått mycket kritik från den akademiska världen som menar att den kommer att begränsa yttrandefriheten. Frågan som uppsatsen ställer är hur skulle Europadomstolen bedö

Purpose The purpose of this thesis is to contribute with knowledge on consumer identity in a social media setting and how companies can utilize this behaviour for effective marketing. Method The thesis adopts a constructivist perspective on how we interpret our interviewees, the reality and our own research role. The interviews have been inspired by both ethnographic and a phenomenological appro

In the face of climate change, a fast global switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy is imperative. In the Netherlands however, prospects for such a switch are bleak. With 6% renewables its progress is lagging, and vested interests hold back change. The transition is failing. This thesis provides an alternative, by identifying a new solution to the sluggish transition, a new agent that could

Akustophores är rörelse av partiklar/celler under inverkan av ljud. Partikel- och cell separation är en applikation som kan utföras av akustophores. Detta är en viktig teknik eftersom den kan avslöja viktig information om sjukdomar och celler och därigenom förbättra valet av behandling inom sjukvården. Genom att utnyttja ljud, så kan celler och partiklar i en lösning separeras efter deras specifikAcoustophoresis is the migration of particles/cells under the influence of sound. Particle and cell separation is an application that can be performed by acoustophoresis. This is an important technique since it can reveal important information about diseases and cells and thereby possibly improve the choice of treatment in healthcare. By utilizing sound, cells and particles in a suspension can be

Carrot juice concentrate (CJC) produced from fresh carrots is used in various applications in the beverage industry. Its quality is mainly defined by the carotenoid concentration which in turn strongly depends on the quality of the raw material and the processing technique. Manufacturers are constantly searching for new ways to produce a high-colour CJC. Thermal, enzymatic and mechanical treatment

Metod: Denna studie har utgått från en kvalitativ metod. Det har använts två metoder eftersom det bidragit till att studien skapat en mer korrekt bild av området som undersökts. De metoder som använts är kvalitativa intervjuer och iakttagelser. Teorier: Olika teoretiska ansatser har diskuteras i koppling till begreppet förtroende. Teorierna har delats upp i fysiska marknadsföringskanaler och digi

This report presents combinatorics studies in the search for a resonance of below 800GeVwhich decay product is a pair of hadronic jets from quarks. The resonance, predicted as a dark matter mediator, has couplings to dark matter particles as well as quarks and gluons. The resonance is created in association with a radiated object that can be either a photon or a jet. In the case of the radiation b

Problem description: Warehouses and warehousing operations are often considered as some of the most crucial elements in a company's supply chain, and often stand for more than 20 percent of a company’s total logistics costs. The actual size of these costs are, together with most of the costs related to warehouse operations, mainly consequences of the decisions made when designing the warehouse

Due to the position of the Maltese archipelago in the central Mediterranean sea, Migration is a topic of recurring relevance. The particular geographical location and strong sense of cultural identity are central themes in the public discourse, influencing societal structures and political decision-making surrounding migration. This research makes use of a critical discourse analysis to understa
