Swedish Title: En Ny Era för Ett Nytt Burma: Avkoloniseringens Diskurs och Nationens Strävan i Burma efter Andra Världskriget This study explores the nature of the nationalist discourse in Burma (Myanmar) in the short period of time following World War II but preceding Burma’s declaration of independence on the 4th of January, 1948. Burma, then a British colony in Southeast Asia, had been promised
Den nuvarande ökningen av icke-statliga aktörer som bedriver kommersiell verksamhet i rymden har lett till juridiska frågor om bland annat ansvar. Är det nuvarande internationella rättsliga ramverket för yttre rymden tillräckligt etablerat för att hantera övergången från ett rättsområde som en gång dominerades av stater, till ett område som idag drivs av privata ekonomiska intressen? I denna uppThe important rise of non-state actors performing commercial activities in outer space has resulted in legal issues regarding inter alia responsibility. The question is whether the current international legal framework on outer space is sufficiently established to cope with a continuously shifting legal area once dominated by States to one today driven by private economic interests.

Title: Designing a new warehouse to improve space utilization and handling efficiency: A case study of a production warehouse Authors: Emil Niklasson, Erik Ramström Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Problem description: The focus on warehousing has grown in the industry during the 21st century to increase the compe
Thesis purpose: This study aims to explore how community platforms for services can be integrated and used in the customer journey in order to enhance consumers’ perception of convenience. Methodology: Due to the study’s explorative nature, the study utilised a qualitative method conducted in the context of the Swedish furniture retailer IKEA. Theoretical perspective: The thesis was based on pri
Chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma, represent a significant global health issue. Symptoms are commonly treated through inhalation therapy, enabling the delivery of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) directly to the lungs. Pulmonary drug delivery offers several advantages, including reduced risk of systemic side effects and a minimally invasive route of administration. Dry-powder
Abstract: The 17th century philosopher Spinoza is known for his concept of God as One Substance, God or Nature and therefore considered as a monist and categorized as a naturalist. He has been labeled an atheist and God-intoxicated man, as well as a determinist and pantheist, which I perceive to be dichotomies. The problem, as I see it, is that Spinoza’s philosophy and concept of God has mainly be
Encapsulation systems have long been studied, and the designs have varied in both capsule material as well as the type of cargo. The intended use have ranged from nanoreactors to delivery systems. This work presents an encapsulation system consisting of protein capsule and a protein cargo. The capsule is a redesigned hepatitis B virus capsid protein, in which the luminal extension has been altered
The determination of a state’s right of self-defence is a complex process. In order for the use of force to be justifiable as an act of self-defence several criteria have to be fulfilled. According to Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations a right of self-defence only exists when an armed attack has occurred. This is interesting because it had for a long time been argued, by states and in
Purpose: Consumers are forming deep love relationships with brands to a degree that involves the incorporation of the brand’s symbolic attributes to their own self-concept. However, though deep, these bonds are not indestructible. With that said, this thesis aims to investigate the consumer-brand love relationship with specific regard to the dissolution of these deep bonds. Methodology: In-depth s
A selection of well known period luminosity relations for cepheid variables are studied under the assumption that cepheid variables have a mean vertical velocity of zero in the galactic plane. Proper motion data from Hipparcos and Thyco-2 catalogues are coupled with the distances obtained from applying the period luminosity relations on a database of known classical cepheids to calculate the veloc
Evaluation of the Galil DMC–4080 as a closed-loop controller of a stepper-motor driven Stewart Platform with mm- and mrad- precision and resolution. The project involves a full implementation and optimization of kinematic equations, implementing modes of motion & controller structure, as well the use of MATLAB simulations. The 4080 proves successful in static positioning but have limitations i
Voluntourism is often described as a sustainable development strategy facilitating Global Learning and cross-cultural exchange. Initiated by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the voluntourism program Weltwärts strives to create stronger international partnerships, development engagement, and equitable encounters. The practice of voluntourism is contested,
It was recently decided that a new hospital is to be built in Växjö. It is important that hospitals can be utilised no matter the circumstances, even in situations of threat. New reports have been published concerning how hospitals are to be designed. In this, it is mentioned that explosions are a threat that should be considered. Due to this, it was investigated however concrete sandwich walls c
Inside the human body, cells produce long sugar chains called glycosaminoglycans, or named shortly as GAGs, these sugars play an important role in our body since they are involved in important biological processes such as blood coagulation, being components in our cartilage, and the new development of tissues. Changes in these sugars is associated with several diseases such as in some kinds of can
Effectively utilizing Big Data can be a challenge for many companies. Due to its volume, many aspects of the data processing pipeline such as storage, retrieval and usage may quickly become problematic. For example, it could be difficult identifying the relevant metrics when analyzing a service failure. Visualizing and deriving insights from the data could also prove to be quite onerous. Immersive
The purpose of this thesis is to address the complexity of board involvement in the dynamic collaborative environment of joint ventures and, thereby, contribute to joint venturing and corporate governance literature. The researchers propose a model of an adaptive governance system wherein the board acts as a self-correction system, influencing and being influenced by the dynamics and complexity of
Supramolecular chemistry is a field in which noncovalent interactions between molecules are utilised to promote the formation of larger molecular assemblies. A single monomer consisting of a bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane backbone equipped with hydrogen bonding motifs and solubilising groups is synthesised. Utilisation of different hydrogen bonding motifs and appropriate solvent renders self-aggregation of
Equity crowdfunding has achieved a high popularity in the UK throughout the last years. However, most researchers within this field primarily focused on the success factors of an equity crowdfunding campaign while only little is known about the post-campaign effects. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to determine which patterns of characteristics successfully equity crowdfunded companies that r
