This thesis intends to contribute cumulatively to the understanding of the circumstances that women’s rights-focused NGOs work in when operating in a post-conflict country with an authoritarian regime. It also aims to argue on the importance of the NGOs’ role to empower women by political participation under those circumstances and discuss why it’s often very challenging for the mentioned NGOs to

Inom fysikens värld finns det väldigt många olika grenar som fördjupar sig inom väldigt specifika aspekter av fysiken. Tillsammans med alla dessa grenar så kan en helhetsförståelse av naturens lagar bildas; från den allra minsta molekylen, till sjärnor ljusår ifrån. Partikelfysik är den gren inom fysiken som undersöker vad som händer på den minsta skalan av materia. Ämnet beskriver hur fundamentalThe purpose of this thesis is to further investigate the state of matter known as Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) that is produced in heavy ion collisions. This is done by analyzing jets and jet quenching in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt[]{s_\textrm{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV from ALICE. The events are discriminated by setting a 8 GeV/$c$ $p_\textrm{T}$ threshold on the trigger particle. This ensures that there is ha

The economically directed city politics in Landskrona is focused on apartment and house strategies. In this study it is interpreted as policies and politics for gentrification. Officially the strategies is mentioned city development. The purpose is mainly to stop people with social welfare to move to the city.

The aim of this thesis is to examine how a successful rhetorical strategy should take form, when politicians try to convince the voters to support what they’re advocating for. The case of this study is a newly held referendum in Denmark, where the voters should decide whether to reject or vote for a law, that would give more sovereignty to the European Union in judicial matters. By examining three

The aim of this thesis is to analyse how the Commission has managed to successfully set its EU energy policy as high priority policy on the EU policy agenda. The empirical material used in this study were analysed through the lens of Multiple Stream Approach theory, the Framing Theory, and the securitization concept. Several events leading up to the EU Energy Union from 2000 and onward are discuss

Denna studie har till syfte att belysa xenofobi i dagens Sydafrika samt bidra med förståelsen för bakomliggande orsaker till uppkomsten av främlingsfientlighet. Dessutom önskar vi att bidra med en ökad och utvecklad förståelse för teorierna Etablerade och outsiders av Norbert Elias och John Scotson, Moralisk Panik av Erich Goode & Nachman Ben-Yehuda samt teorin om Ny xenofobi, av Tabish Khair.

With an increased importance of working capital management and supply chain risks, supply chain finance has gained an increasing interest from organizations across the world. A buyer-centric supply chain finance solution can create a ‘win-win’ situation for buyers and suppliers, by allowing buyers to extend payment terms and suppliers to get payments in advance. This allows both buyers and supplie

Abstract Background Swedish foods have difficulty competing against imported food that has different cost scenarios. Food price inflation has today led to a major focus on low cost for consumers. This focus has created a risk of lower food quality for consumers and lower profitability for the food industry. Target To develop a principled business model with a focus on identifying realizable value

Abstract The self-driving car (SDC) is about to exit fantasy and enter reality. SDCs are expected to be available for purchase in just a few years, and the new technologies that enable autonomous driving hold much promise, regarding safety, environmental impact, increased mobility and higher comfortability. However, there are worrying prospects, too. Some experts worry that the autonomous car

Idag har företagens varumärken gått från enbart det traditionella i form av en figur eller ett ord, antingen separat eller i kombination, till varumärkesportföljer som även inkluderar icke-visuella varumärken, vilka benämns inom varumärkesrätten som okonventionella varumärken. Till okonventionella varumärken hör bland annat ljudmärken, doftmärken, färgmärken, formmärken och även hologram. Hur denCorporate trademarks today have developed from solely a traditional form, meaning shape or word, together or in combination, to complete trademark portfolios that even include non-visual trademarks, referenced in trademark law as unconventional trademarks. Trademarks within audio, scent, color, form and even holograms are incorporated under unconventional trademarks. How this development has progr

Sammanfattning: EU-, Konkurrensrätten och Svensk Idrottsrörelse Idrottens och särskilt fotbollens popularitet och idrottsrörelsens ideella / icke-vinstdrivande förhållanden, idrottens särart, genererade stora samhällsvärden under 1900-talet och lämnades med marginell svensk rättsinblandning. Istället kom fotbollsföreningar och utövare att underordnas förbundsmonopol från 1904 med strikt [regel]hieAbstract: EU-law, the rules on Competition and movement of Sport The popularity of athletics and particular football and the non-profit circumstances of movement of sport, generated great additional value to society and was therefore almost left without intervention from Swedish public law-system during the 20th century. Instead, since 1904, all Swedish football clubs and players are forced to fol

The master thesis was carried out for Sandvik SRP in cooperation with the division of Production and Materials Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. This thesis is part of a larger research project with the title ”Blyfria kopparlegeringar” funded by Vinnova within SIO Produktion 2030. Lead-free bearing-materials, which could be used to replace the current bear-ing-material

Fibrillar macromolecules are long, linear structures that have helical symmetry. A technique called X-ray fiber diffraction (XRFD) is often used to help solve the three-dimensional structure of fibrillar macromolecules. Models of fibrillar structure, built de novo, using homologs or using experimental data derived from other methods should be compared to this experimental XRFD data to test and ref

Medicinal plants have been used for treatment of various human diseases for a long time in history. The Ambrosia arborescens Mill. plant grows in some of the developing Latin American countries such as Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru. Ambrosia arborescens Mill, has a ubiquitous amount of sesquiterpene lactone (SL) compounds that can be extracted exclusively from the aromatic leaves of this plant. It has

Syftet med denna undersökning är att avgöra och definiera vilka strategier svenska börsnoterade fastighetsbolag använder sig av, samt hur dessa val av strategier påverkar ett fastighetsbolags värdeutveckling på börsen. Ytterligare skall undersökningen ta reda på huProperty management companies on the Swedish stock market have long been very profitable and represented a good investment for shareholders. The purpose of this study is to determine and define the property-related strategies of listed Swedish property management companies – and how the choice of strategies affects the company's performance on the stock market. Furthermore, the analysis aims t

Det pågår ständigt en utveckling för att minska både risker för miljö och hälsa inom den kemiska industrin. Oftast handlar det om att förbättra existerande processer eller att helt enkelt hitta nya vägar till samma produkt och i grunden ligger forskning bakom framgångarna.Polyurethane is a widely used polymer with a lot of different applications due to its versatility and often resilient properties. The polymeris often prepared as a two component system consisting of polyols and isocyanates and can be cured at relatively low temperatures. Even though the formed polymer is hazardless the isocyanate used in the manufacture is dangerous in itself, but even more so is

Syftet med denna uppsats är att fördjupa förståelsen för New Public Management, ur ett medarbetarperspektiv, med fokus på dess kritik. För att uppfylla syftet med uppsatsen, som utgår från ett socialkonstruktionistiskt perspektiv, har en kvalitativ metod genomförts, varvid en fallstudie och intervjuer genomförts. Den teoretiska referensramen består av tidigare forskning inom fältet för New Public
