Denna studie undersöker migrationsdebatter i Europaparlamentet med anledning av den flyktingkris som skedde hösten 2015 och effekten av främlingsfientlighet som vuxit därefter. Över en miljon asylsökande flyktingar sökte sig till Europa för ett bättre liv och ingen kunde förutsett den förhöjda volymen av flyktingar som kom. Däremot visade den akuta situationen på brister i asylsystemet som den EurThis study examines the migration debates in the European Parliament in view of the refugee crisis that occurred in the fall of 2015 and the effect of xenophobia that grew thereafter. Over one million refugees sought Europe for a better life in 2015 and no one could predict the increased volume of refugees who came. On the other hand, the acute situation showed flaws in the asylum system that the

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur kampanjen mot kung Leopold av Belgiens mandat över kolonin Kongo. Genom att undersöka Edmund D. Morels argumentation i boken Red Rubber försöker jag visa på hur författaren valt att lägga upp sin argumentation, vilket gjordes genom en retorikanalys. Denna retorikanalys utgick från Thomas Laqueurs teori om en språklig förändring i beskrivningen av kroppen,

A good head of beer gives nice texture and prevents releasing of aroma. The beer foam stability depends on numerous parameters. In this study, it was focused on the interfacial rheological properties such as surface tension and dilational modulus in relation the film formation by isohumulones and beer proteins at the air-water interfaces. The isohumulones and beer protein samples were prepared ind

Since the 1950’s, a wide range of titanium alloys has been developed. Attractive titanium properties are the high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance towards corrosion, low thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion. Properties that make titanium alloys difficult-to-machine materials are those of low thermal conductivity, chemical reactiveness and the high strength, requiring low cutting data

Based on fieldwork interviews from two different trade unions in Luanda, this study aims to reflect on the role of civil society for the consolidation of democracy in Angola, and in particular, the challenges of trade unionism and its effects on democracy. Using the meth-od of inductive reasoning to process data, it first addresses themes derived from the inter-views such as Financial struggles, T

This paper aims to examine the arguments proposed by the Obama administration regarding a U.S. military intervention in Syria due to the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime in 2013. During his presidency, Obama stated that the He draws a ‘red line’ at the use of chemical weapons against civilians, but the threat proved to be empty a year later when thousands of people were killed in a che

The current debate concerning land acquisition for commercial agriculture is whether it can contribute to poverty reduction by developing communities through successful agribusiness, or whether it leads to dispossession of traditional land users. Thus, this research is a case study of the African Agricultural Development Company (AgDevCo) and their irrigated farming hub in Babator, Ghana. It will

Vi lever i spännande tider brukar det heta. Det är ett slitet uttryck, men kanske mer sant än någonsin och Alexander Bard och Jan Söderqvist försöker i sin Futurica-trilogi visa att det inte bara är vår fysiska omgivning som är på väg att helt ändra skepnad – även hela vår världssyn och metafysiska system står i begrepp att kollapsa och ersättas av något nytt. Sant eller inte står det i varje fall

Barley naturally contains high amounts of dietary fibre, however it is not widely used in health promoting purposes. Barley is traditionally used for malting in beer and whisky and it is often overlooked as a candidate for other applications. In this study five barley varieties are evaluated from a technical and a nutritional point of view. The aim of the study is to conduct a literature review re

Syfte Syftet med pilotstudien var att jämföra de två behandlingsmetoderna röstbehandling och högläsning för att utvärdera vilken metod som var mest effektiv i behandlingen av spolformad glottisinsufficiens. Metod Studien hade en case cross-over design. I studien ingick fem deltagare mellan 67-83 år. Deltagarna randomiserades in i två grupper. Studien pågick i 12 veckor varav åtta veckor gavs inter

The purpose of this project was at first to explore textiles. It started off by a visit to The Swedish School of Textiles in Borås. I was introduced to the basics of textiles and was shown new textile materials at Smart Textiles. Coming home, I came to the conclusion of doing it my way, with the view of an Industrial Designer. Having prior experience with a similar project I knew that it was imp

In Chichigalpa, Nicaragua, an unusual amount of manual sugar cane workers suffer from Chronic Kidney Disease of undetermined causes (CKDu), a disease with very high fatality rate in poor commu- nities. Harsh working conditions is a contributing factor, and this thesis uses tool design to conceive constructive solutions to address tangible parts of a seemingly overwhelming problem.

This process and material driven project was from the beginning focused on wast materials. The fact that the world population is rapidly increasing made me think of it as a possible source of material, instead of just an outlet of waste. With an interest in the controversial, I decided to work with human hair. The key structural material in hair is a protein called alpha-keratin. Early hopes of pr

The aim of this Thesis Project was to develop a general risk management approach for assessing the expansion of a centralized water system in Central Asian countries. In order to develop the general approach, a case study was performed in Pavlodar, Kazakhstan. The basis for developing the approach was literature study, data collection, interviews, focus group discussion (FGD) and observations made

The popularity of voluntourism (volunteer tourism) over the last couple of decades has developed rapidly into a global phenomenon. The concept of voluntourism seeks to align tourism with development initiatives occurring often within the Global South with the assistance of volunteer sending organisations (VTSOs). At first glance, voluntourism is seen as distinctly noble in its intentions with altr

Med 1920 års giftermålsbalk (1920:405) introducerades ett nytt system för makars egendomsförhållanden i svensk rätt. I denna ordning, som utgör gällande rätt än i dag, betonades makars självständighet genom bevarandet av den individuella äganderätten efter äktenskaps ingående. En rätt att vid den äktenskapliga gemenskapens upplösning få vara med att dela på den andra makens förmögenhetsvärde, giftWith the introduction of the Marriage Code (1920:405) in 1920 followed a new property regime for spouses in Swedish family law. This regime, which is in effect today still, emphasised the spouses’ remaining independence after entering of marriage through a remaining individual property ownership. Moreover, a right to share the value of the other spouse’s property at the dissolution of marriage, th

Vid domstolens avgörande av vårdnads- och boendefrågan kan beslut fattas antingen om att vårdnaden ska anförtros föräldrarna gemensamt eller en av föräldrarna samt om barnet ska bo växelvis hos båda föräldrarna eller stadigvarande hos en av dem. Bedömning ska alltid göras i varje enskilt fall och avgörande är vad som är barnets bästa, vilket stadgas i portalparagrafen i 6 kap. 2 a § föräldrabalken

Internet of Things är ett fenomen som gör det möjligt för en användare att integrera internet i sitt vardagsliv. När vardagsföremål kopplas upp till internet, genereras mängder av data som kan analyseras för att kunna användas i olika syften. Denna uppsats kommer att förklara Internet of Things samt de teknologier som har möjliggjort utvecklingen. Målet med uppsatsen var att undersöka om allmänhet
