Cross-border integration between Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria has been recently dominated by traditional perception of political diplomacy that overrides the considerations for economic cooperation. This project suggests that more in-depth case analysis of the Evros-Maritza-Meric Euroregion will elucidate the evolution of this concept. The existence of long-term barriers in the cross-border region

Method: The research of the thesis is based on a qualitative approach through the use of semi-structured and open interviews. Furthermore an interpre

The purpose of this thesis is to study possible correlation between companies’ risk-taking and the board composition factors gender diversity and employee representation. The study is examining the following two issues; How does gender diversity and employee representation on board of directors influence companies’ risk-taking? We do not find any clear evidence that gender diversity and employee r

210Pb dateringsstudie på 3000-4000 meters djup gjord på sediment från Marokanska och Arabiska havet för att undersöka om djuphavssediment är en stabil miljö. Tanken med examensarbetet är att undersöka konsekvenserna för dumpning av radioaktivt avfall i havet. Vilka regler gäller och vilka problem kan uppstå. Är det säkert eller ej? Vilka dumpplatser finns det och vad har man dumpat där? Ett av målThe earth surface consists of 71% of water and 29% land. 97% of that water is contained in saline seas. More than 90 per cent of the worlds living biomass can be found in the oceans. The sea has always been a possible dumpingsite for waste produced by man. Radioactive waste is the one of the most dangerous waste of all. Since the beginning of nuclear power research dumpsites around the world has b

"The technology for planning and delivering radiotherapy has in the last decade undergone some revolutionary development and it is now possible to perform complex treatments such as stereotactic treatments and treatments using dynamic wedges, multileaf collimator and intensity modulation. The more precise limits surrounding the PTV have made it of utmost interest to be able to verify calculat

Climate change has emerged as the most prominent of the global environment issues and there is a need to evaluate its impact on the agriculture. General Circulation Models (GCMs) which are considered as the most advance tools for estimating future climate change scenarios operate on coarse resolutions. It is for this reason the climate change model MAGICC coupled to SCENGEN developed by the IPCC w

The study tries to look at the impact of microfinance on the lives of the extreme poor people. There are different views on microcredit/microfinance as a powerful development tool regarding its success in developing the lives of the extreme poor and sometimes these views are contradictory. The purpose of the study was to observe the social and financial changes that have occurred also with an effo

The HCCI engine has shown great qualities such as high efficiency combined with low emissions. However, many issues have not totally been solved yet. One way to control the combustion timing, one of the commented issues, is dual fuel utilizing the difference in ignition temperature between different fuels. So, from this point on it is not difficult to think about developing a big mapping of one H

This essay develops a theory for the explanation of the diffrences in succes of Radical Right Populist Parties in Western Europe. In order to create a succesfull radical right populist movement and thus a succesfull radical right populist party, three elements are needed; ?demand?, ?supply? amd ?mobilisation?. Because the creation of a radical right populist movement is different than the creatio

Under början av 1900-talet införde alla nordiska länder, förutom Norge, en möjlighet för frihetsberövade kvinnor att medföra sitt spädbarn i anstalten under straffverkställigheten. Regleringarna grundades på arvsbiologiska aspekter, då det var vanligt att de små barnen fortfarande ammades av sina mödrar och de var beroende av modersmjölken för att överleva. Med tiden har dock regleringarnas syfte In the beginning of the 20th century all Nordic countries except Norway introduced a possibility for imprisoned women to bring their infants with them during their sentence. The legislation was considered necessary due to the fact that the infant still was breast-fed by their mother. Child psychologist and psychoanalysist John Bowlby (from Great Britain) developed the affiliation theory during th

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Spektroskopi handlar om teoretiska modeller och experiment där man observerar ljus som har växelverkat med materia. Spektroskopiska metoder används inom många olika ämnesområden som exempelvis kemi, fysik och biologi. Ett jordnära exempel på tillämpad spektroskopi är människans öga. Reflekterat ljus från olika föremål samlas in av linsen i ögat, avbildas på näthiIn this thesis a novel spectroscopic method consisting of a combination of frequency domain photon migration (FPDM) and gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy (GASMAS) is developed, for assessment of the mean optical path length and gas absorption in porous media. The system stability is experimentally investigated and measurements are performed on balsa and pine wood to evaluate the rela

Hiphop is a culture that has grown among youth the last decades. Its based of four elements: breakdance, graffiti, djing and rap and each of these have their own way to express position, social status, power and identity.
