Armed conflict, either internationally or internally, has caused great sufferings to the victims and society as a whole. It constitutes a situation where the rule of law is absent and human rights are no longer respected. Even though various preventive endeavours have been campaigned and implemented by the international community, the occurrences of armed conflicts are still inevitable due to poli

Popular Abstract in Swedish Idag behöver människor som talar, tänker och lever på olika sätt mer än någonsin kunna kommunicera med varandra. Ett självklart språk för dessa kontakter är för en svensk ofta engelska. Det lär sig varje elev under minst tio år i vår skola. Men för att kunna förstå andra bättre, fordras också att vi blir medvetna om skilda sätt att uppfatta världen omkring oss. Vi behövThe aim of this study is to examine the prospects of developing intercultural understanding through English as a foreign language (EFL) education in the Swedish comprehensive school. This overall aim is split into two subordinate aims: (1) to analyse and problematize the intercultural dimension of EFL as three discourses, research discourse, authority discourse and teacher discourse; (2) to relate

Popular Abstract in English Mobile communication systems are now evolving towards the fifth generation (5G). In the near future, we expect an explosive increase in the number of connected devices, such as phones, tablets, wearable accessories, sensors, connected vehicles and so on. We can imagine that much higher data rates than in today's 4G systems are required. Sounds like the future of communiMobile communications are now evolving towards the fifth generation (5G). In the near future, we expect an explosive increase in the number of connected devices, such as phones, tablets, sensors, connected vehicles and so on. Much higher data rates than in today's 4G systems are required. In the 5G visions, better coverage in remote regions is also included, aiming for bringing the current "4 bill

The dissertation is about career in working life – not career solely in the sense of climbing upwards in the organizational hierarchy to management level, but career as the movement that individuals or groups make over time through working life. The focus is on social workers and their professional field. The overall aim is to describe and analyse social workers’ career patterns and careers at the

Animals are often used in advertising, especially in commercials. When given human characteristics, and used in several commercials over a longer period of time, anthropomorphic animal spokespersons are born. These animals are neither real animals nor humans. They are hybrids, or fake animals. Fake in the sense that they are fictive, they lack an existing model and they are an assembly of many thi

This master thesis analyzes the accounting and auditing reforms in the Post-Soviet world. It is the very interesting issue, because comparing with the rest of Europe and Asia the former soviet countries have extra challenges in this process. They are not only trying to adopt international accounting and auditing standards, but also move away from command economy which is not an easy task. The regu

Issue of study: The development of technology and society is closely linked. Mutual dependency and complex interrelationships make straightforward analysis of issues regarding the future of technology and society hard to perform. Therefore, the study addresses the question of how organizations should describe and analyze the interactions of technology and society in order to gain a better understa

Background: Patients experiencing high levels of pain after surgery remains a considerable clinical problem. Often, no consensus about the best analgesic treatment is present. The majority of clinical trials regarding postoperative pain, generally, target the average analgesic efficacy. In terms to step forward, a focus on the individual patients´ pain levels is needed and an identification of the

Background Oral contraceptives were introduced almost 50 years ago, and over 100 million women currently use them. Oral contraceptives can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, but the eventual public-health effects of this reduction will depend on how long the protection lasts after use ceases. We aimed to assess these effects. Methods Individual data for 23 257 women with ovarian cancer (cases) a

This thesis is based on three scientific papers dealing with costs and financial risks associated with keeping stock. Reasonable cost parameters are important to implement an effective inventory control system, which in turn is one of the key activities in logistics management. All three papers consider a single-level inventory system. Single-period, multi-period as well as continuous review syste

Closing Waste Loops An Economic Comparison of MSW Treatment Systems in Sweden By: Barry Ness Lund University International Master's Programme in Environmental Science Thesis Autumn 2000 Abstract: Because human societies have not closed solid waste loops in the production and consumption of gaDds,methods of solid waste treatment are still necessary. In this work the author examines two modem method

Popular Abstract in Swedish En autonom agent kan definieras som ett system som med syfte att utföra uppgifter kan interagera med sin omgivning genom sina egna sensorer och effektorer. En ny arkitektur för autonoma agenter inspirerad av teorin för antecipatoriska system föreslås. Det är en hybrid arkitektur i det avseende att den kombinerar planerande förmåga, som behövs för att lösa långsiktiga prThis thesis has two main themes, autonomous agents and concepts. An autonomous agent is a system capable of interacting with its environment via its own sensors and effectors in order to accomplish some task. Arguments against both purely reactive and purely deliberative agent architectures are presented in favor for hybrid approaches. A novel hybrid approach based on the concept of anticipatory s

Popular Abstract in Swedish I den här avhandlingen studeras de elektriska egenskaperna hos nanotrådar av halvledarmaterial. En halvledare är ett mellanting av en ledare och en isolator, där den elektriska ledningsförmågan kan styras både genom att förorena materialet med andra ämnen och genom att påverka materialet med ett elektriskt fält. I princip all modern elektronik bygger på komponenter av hThis thesis focuses on electron transport in semiconductor InAs/InP and InSb nanowire quantum devices. However, first the temperature dependence of classical charge transport in InSb nanowire field-effect transistors, FETs, is characterized, using InAs nanowire FETs as a reference. We find that the InSb FETs, in the same way as InAs FETs, are n-type with good current saturation and low voltage ope

Medical doctors and nutritional specialists recommend to eat healthy foods including fruits and vegetables. Cosmetic experts also recommend to use cosmetic products obtained from natural products. The reason behind this is that natural products from plants contain chemical compounds which can promote health and protect our bodies from several diseases. These chemical compounds are called bioactiveBioactive compounds found in plants have been of interest to man since ancient times. These compounds have the ability to modulate the metabolic processes in our bodies, which suggests that they may promote better health. Bioactive compounds vary in their chemical structure, polarity, stability and biological activity. This diversity makes the study of bioactive compounds challenging from the pers

Background: Clinical egg allergy is a common food allergy. Current management relies upon strict allergen avoidance. Oral immunotherapy might be an optional treatment, through desensitization to egg allergen. Objectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of oral and sublingual immunotherapy in children and adults with immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated egg allergy as compared to a placebo treatmen
