This Master degree thesis aims to assess the UN-mediation attempts in Cyprus during 1999-2004. Performing a qualitative case study, I employ mediation theory to examine the UN good offices efforts, in order to see if the chosen mediation strategy can explain the failure to solve the dispute. Results show that the timing for mediation was favourable, and the context of the conflict indicated that a
Despite the many use cases for machine learning, it sees minimal usage in Sweden’s public sector today. It is important that the public sector in particular utilizes the most efficient tools available. For this reason, the Department of Employment and Social Services in Malmö has started a project to explore the viability of introducing machine learning to their work. This thesis corresponds to ro
During the NATO application process for Sweden and Finland, Türkiye has halted the rapid pace of member states ratification through a set of conditions. This thesis’ aim is to examine the mechanisms behind the gatekeeping position upheld by Türkiye. My object of study consists of a transcript of a press briefing, held by the President of the European Parliament and the NATO Secretary General, and
Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale
On the 24th of February 2022 Russia decided to invade its neighbour Ukraine. On this day Putin delivered a speech in which he described his thoughts and why he deemed it necessary to invade Ukraine. This speech he sought to legitimise the action taken by his regime. This was not the first time since the start of this millennium that Russia invaded a neighbour which in turn raised the question if t
In food production facilities, packagings are quality inspected to ensure proper sealing and correct atmo- sphere within. The project was done in collaboration with Gasporox AB (publ), a company developing and producing quality inspection instruments. The goal of the project was to develop a new version of an exiting instrument of theirs. In addition to that, develop a portable inspection de
During the last decade, an increasing number of technological developments have occurred that utilise surveillance for functionality. Much of modern means of communication and socialising now firmly rest on surveillance technology. Whereas most scholarly work aims to interpret the effects of surveillance on individuals through an aggregated perspective, this thesis explores a more grounded approac
Syftet med denna studien var att undersöka hur kommunikation som sägs vara icke-stereotypisk framställer genus och utmanar eller reproducerar traditionella stereotyper i reklam. För att studera detta fenomen valdes det svenska företaget Estrid ut, som säger sig kommunicera till alla människor. Genom att studera detta fenomen har studien bidragit med kunskap kring hur visuell kommunikation kan bådeThis paper aimed to investigate how advertising stereotypes can be challenged or reproduced and how gender is performed, in the context of an allegedly non-stereotypical company. In order to investigate this matter, we conducted a multimodal social semiotic analysis of the Swedish company Estrid, whose razor blades are communicated to all humans. By analyzing various semiotic resources, the paper
Emerging multiculturalism in China's metropolitan areas implies people's frequent engagement in intercultural contacts and, therefore, creates a need for a mutual acculturation between the migrants and the host society. This research aimed to contribute to the study of immigrant adjustment in China by exploring the patterns of dietary acculturation among Russian immigrants residing in Beij
Internal displacement is a relatively new issue in the international agenda, in general, and in research, in particular. However, due to the steady increase in the number of displaced persons globally, this problem becomes more and more visible. This study sees internally displaced persons as marginalized and subaltern group, which is, however, potentially able to start struggle for recognition, w
Problem description: An optimal layout shall be developed for the plant with respect to the flows of materials, products and staff with consideration to the business, shipping and future expandability. The layout proposal falls into two groups that will interact: proposals for the design of the building and proposals for the layout inside the building. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to de
The participant who perhaps should have the greatest impact in problem: the planning process of a building are the ones who are going to use it – the users. It is those who will spend time in and take part of the building’s functionality and architecture. However, it is unclear to what extent the user has the opportunity to influence the planning of a building. Every new project needs a common goa
The aim of this study was to investigate if it is possible to dry concrete samples in a microwave aven without damaging the concrete. This method could, if it is possible, fadilitate the work in many laboratories today. In the beginning of the work a theoretical study over the behavior of the microwaves is done. Same different areas in the construction business where it is possible to use microwav
It has been argued that harmonization leads to a more effective delivery of aid to recipient countries, and ultimately to the target population and thus cooperation in general would be an adequate means to achieve this goal. However, the implementation of the Paris Agenda has so far progressed slowly. Vietnam is often reported as a case where cooperation between donors is working fine. By making u
Human Rights Accountability är en egenskap i relationen mellan styrande och medborgare. När egenskapen existerar förhindrar den människorättskränkningar genom att medborgarna får inflytande över beslutfattande. Begreppet behöver klargöras för att nå sitt fulla potential som verktyg för planering och analys eftersom missförståelse kan ha farliga konsekvenser i misslyckandet att förebygga politiskt Human Rights Accountability is a property of the relationship between rulers and citi-zens. When it exists, it prevents violations of Human Rights by enabling citizens to in-fluence decision-making. The concept needs clarification in order to reach its full poten-tial as a tool for planning and analysis. Misunderstanding can have dangerous conse-quences in the failure to prevent political violence
Regarding the changes in today's generation we can see that a problem with the theories of internal and external marketing is the lacks of ideas about how companies can act when an employee leave the company. We believe that there is a need for other ideas on how to maintain relationships with former employees. The aim of this thesis is to describe and analyze if and how ideas about employer b
This thesis examines the underlying causes of the ethnic conflict in Myanmar through an analysis of how British rule impacted Myanmar and its subsequent development and ethnic fragmentation. This has been done in order to find out if British colonialism might have caused ethnic fragmentation and to test a hypothesis about whether the specific characteristics of how Myanmar was colonised caused thi
