This thesis provides an analysis of the Eurozone‟s crisis management during the European debt crisis from a Neorealist perspective. It assesses the explanatory power of Neorealism for the counter-measures taken in response to the European debt crisis. The main argument is that in times of crisis, the member states of the European Union may fall back to Neorealist behavior, despite any integrating

The purpose of this thesis was to examine how increased mobility of indigenous student migrants in Dhaka from the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh affects notions of belonging and indigeneity. By applying a theoretical framework of mobility, global interconnectedness and lifestyle the study challenged representations by indigenous rights advocates of indigenous people as inherently immobile an

The international financial crisis has hit southern European countries remarkably hard. As a consequence, governments have introduced economic austerity in order to cope with such a difficult situation. Perhaps most important, left-wing and right-wing parties have contributed to the implementation of these economic policies. Given this unexpected consensus, this thesis examines the Italian case st

Although previous researches have covered various kinds of identity studies, the identity issues particularly among the Chinese immigrants to Sweden remain poorly understood. Therefore, this thesis contributes to the vast amount of research by focusing on how and why the Chinese immigrants’ identities have developed after immigration. Based on nationalism and national identity theories in modern C

Who does what among health care professions? : Medical social workers view on their profession regard to holistic rehabilitation The purpose of the present study is to deepen the knowledge about the work and views of medical social workers working within rehabilitation care. Specifically, their work and views with regard to holistic rehabilitation is focused. Holistic rehabilitation is in the pre

Kvark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) är ett tillstånd av materia som har väldigt hög densitet och en temperatur på 2,000,000,000,000 K. Man tror att universum såg ut såhär precis efter the Big Bang, Den Stora Smällen. Vid detta tillstånd kunde inte hadroner (t.ex. protoner och neutroner) bilda atomkärnor som är grunden till all materia. Detta inträffar på grund av att gluonerna, som binder ihop kvarkarna inutIn high energy heavy ion collisions a new state of matter called quark gluon plasma is produced. An important observable is azimuthal anisotropy flow. Data from the ALICE experiment is used in the search for azimuthal anisotropic flow in pp collisions, at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 7$ TeV. p--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV are used to create a baseline. It is expected to find symmetries in $\De

Syftet med studien var att få en större inblick i vad sjuksköterskestudenter anser vara attraktiva egenskaper på en arbetsplats och vad de har för upplevelse av Region Skåne. Motivationen kom från den rådande sjuksköterskebristen. En enkätstudie, baserad på Åteg et als. modell om attraktivt arbete (2004) utfördes. Respondenterna har besvarat dels hur viktiga dessa items är för en arbetsplats attra

Denna studie är en kvalitativ teorianvändande och förklarande fallstudie och har för avsikt att lösa gåtan om varför den egyptiska revolutionen år 2011 var så oförvän- tad. Med hjälp av sekundärt material svarar jag på frågan om vilka bakomliggande faktorer som ledde till att det egyptiska folket revolterade. Till detta presenteras de bakomliggande orsakerna korruption, förtryck, korrupta val, und

In this thesis, the author tries to explore how non-heterosexual men in Denmark use different methods to and strategies for the negotiation of openness in regards to their non-normative sexuality in the labour market. The basis of the thesis is an interview study conducted with five non-heterosexual men as the informants. From the standpoint of a non-heterosexual men in Denmark and the assumptions

Syftet med denna studie är att ur ett konsumentperspektiv skapa en djupare förståelse för vilka företagsrelaterade faktorer som kan leda till kundlojalitet inom heminrednings- och möbelbranschen på internet. Vår uppsats teoretiska referensram grundar sig i teorier som består av modeller och begrepp knutna till lojalitet, kundnöjdhet, förtroende och engagemang.Uppsatsens empiri består av erhållna s

Molecular imprinting technology is a field where polymer technology is utilised to synthesise high affinity particles, much like antibodies. This project has dealt with the imprinting of the neurotransmitter molecules serotonin and histamine. Serotonin polymers were synthesised using methacrylic acid and acrylamide as functional monomers relying on hydrogen bonding for the imprinting effect. None

Many people suffering from chronic kidney disease are in need of a kidney transplant. A problem in the health care is that patients cannot undergo surgery if they have too much belly fat. Regular exercise and physical activity are therefore crucial for this group of people. A project group at the Skåne University Hospital has recently been established to help patients with chronic kidney disease t

Lobbying in the European Union (EU) is a highly discussed and disputed phenomena. The main focus on lobbying in the EU is concerned with how and why lobbyists interact with institutional actors, rather than exploring both sides of the occurrence. The aim of this thesis is to explore and compare whether the European Commission and the European Parliament have different demands for lobbying input. T

The essence of the project is based on how wear affects a product. I saw a flaw in the furniture industry that mass-produces products with materials that are negatively affected by wear and tear. These products have a short lifespan and contributes to the ”throw-away” culture where the product is either replaced or thrown away more often than necessary. I wanted to make a living-room table that du

The field of mass evacuation has existed for a long time. Already during the Roman Empire era evacuation problematic was considered. In modern times the field has gained more attention during the last couple of decades, especially for sports grounds and stadiums. Through analysis of some well-known historical crowd disasters and through a literature survey the aim has been to compile the most impo

This report describes the development of a new fixing process when attaching a sensor PCB card to a camera assembly. The thesis focused on cameras which requires calibration to find the optimal position of the sensor PCB card, a process called active alignment. The development process applied for this thesis was derived from the Generic Development Process by Ulrich and Eppinger. Interviewees wit

Sveriges kommuner och landsting har fått i uppdrag att starta projekt för att nationen skall bli ledande i IT i ett kommande informations- och kunskapssamhälle. Inom vården används tekniska hjälpmedel alltmer för övervakning i hemmet och internet används för dokumentation, vårdplanering, rådgivning mm. Denna undersökning granskar i första hand: Hur hälsovetare och sjuksköterskor i E-hälsans regi a
