The trade relationship between the EU and the ACP countries are currently being renegotiated under the framework of European Partnership Agreements. These EPAs are not only concerned with traditional market access commitments but are also targeting the ‘Singapore issues’ and especially the area of government procurement. The reason for this is found in the economics of trade theory that illustrate
This paper has its starting point with the discrepancy between the ICPD Plan of Action and the Millennium Development Goals with regards to their separate emphasis on the importance of family planning services as a reproductive health component. The population problem can be looked upon from various theoretical schools. This paper examines the sharply contrasting views of economists, on the one ha
The foundation of international Refugee Law was laid down in the early 1950s by the creation of UNHCR 1950 and the 1951 Convention relating to the status of refugees (1951 GC). Refugees and asylum seekers are not only protected through the relatively limited refugee law but also through general human rights instruments. The most significant Convention in Europe is the European Convention on Human
This thesis has aimed to describe how the context affect innovation in the Swedish construction industry. The construction industry is considered to be a complex industry, which make it distinctively different that a market of mass-produced goods. The factors used as framework to study the industry is; User-driven, risk, uncertainty, standards and regulations, unique projects, cost, complex proces
Ett lokalhyresavtal kan vara ingånget för långa tidsperioder och en frågeställning för såväl hyresvärd som hyresgäst är därför om hyresrätten kan förverkas så att avtalet upphör i förtid, om hyresgästen bryter mot bestämmelser i avtalet. Anser hyresvärden att hyresgästen åsidosätter skyldigheter som går utöver jordabalken kan 12 kap. 42 § första stycket 8 JB åberopas som förverkandegrund. I denna Non-housing tenancy agreements can have long terms of agreement. It is therefore an interesting issue for the landlord and the tenant as to whether the tenancy can be forfeit or not. When the parties have specified obligations in the agreement which go beyond the Land Code, 12:42 1 st. p. 8 the Land Code is applicable. This means that the tenancy is forfeit if the tenant neglects contractual oblig
“Men are not the deliberate oppressors of women, but can also be disempowered by current social arrangements”. The role of the Secretary-General of the United Nations is among the most powerful in the world. Since 1945 and the establishment of the UN that position has never been held by a woman. Through gender mainstreaming the UN aims at reaching the goal of gender equality. This essay evaluate
In an accidental shooting, a man in his late forties was hit in his left shoulder region by about 60 lead pellets from a shotgun. He had injuries to the vessels, the clavicle, muscles, and nerves, with total paralysis of the left arm due to axonal injury. After several surgical revisions and temporary cover with split skin, reconstructive surgery was carried out 54 days after the accident. The bra
Findings from a pilot study on the distribution, function and phonetic realization of the filler EH in interviews from SweDia2000 interviews are presented. The results show that EH occurs almost exclusively after function words at the beginning of constituents. The phonetic realization of EH was seen to be of three basic forms: a middle-high vowel (e.g. [e], [ɛ], [ə]), a vowel+nasal (e.g. [ɛm], [ə
An experimental technique with which to measure the fracture stress of fused curd grains, submerged in ultrafiltered milk permeate, has been developed and applied to curd grains of rennet-induced skim milk at pH 6.40 during the first 25 min of fusion. Effects of applied compressive stress within the range of 25-50 Pa, syneresis time, fusion time and tension loading rate were investigated. Fracture
This master’s thesis examines the escalation of the Sino-Indian border conflict in the summer of 2020. Using a modified version of Graham Allison’s multi-lens model, variants of realism, institutionalism and constructivism are applied to the case in order to find explanatory factors. The different theoretical schools also serve to clearly delineate what assumptions the identified aspects are based
A prominent movement for change of the current food system is Vía Campesina, a peasants’ movement advocating that food policy should incorporate perspectives from the most affected. Since the 1990s, international organisations (IOs) have opened up to non-state actors, allowing movements like Vía Campesina to occupy spaces ‘inside’ organisations instead of opposing from the ‘outside’. This thesis e
The aim of this paper is to analyze the current situation of motherhood penalty in China by examining the effects of the number of children on women's wages. Based on data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) from 2014 to 2018, this paper mainly uses a fixed effects model to conduct the study on the effects of the number of children on women's wages and income for Chinese women aged
Clinically relevant weight loss is achievable through lifestyle modification, but unintentional weight regain is common. We investigated whether recently discovered genetic variants affect weight loss and/or weight regain during behavioral intervention. Participants at high-risk of (Diabetes Prevention Program [DPP]; N=917/907 intervention/comparison) or with (Look AHEAD; N=2,014/1,892 interventio
Objectives. To study possible nerve regeneration of a damaged auditory nerve by the use of stem cell transplantation. Methods. We transplanted HNPCs to the rat AN trunk by the internal auditory meatus (IAM). Furthermore, we studied if addition of BDNF affects survival and phenotypic differentiation of the grafted HNPCs. A bioactive nanofiber gel (PA gel), in selected groups mixed with BDNF, was ap
