Following the national responsibility theory in the school of international society which argues that national interest drives a state’s foreign policy, this thesis first attempts to deconstruct China’s foreign direct investment (FDI) in Myanmar since 2004 by picking apart and manipulating financial data in order to determine the resulting trends and developments. It then analyzes how Myanmar’s ab

Vårt syfte med denna uppsats har varit att hitta adekvata förklaringsfaktorer med pedagogisk koppling till varför tjejer i högstadiet avstår idrottsundervisning. De kategorier av faktorer som vi kommit att fokusera på är: klassupplägg och undervisningsmoment, kroppsrelaterade faktorer, motivation och skolmiljörelaterade faktorer.

2011 startades NPF-teamet vars mål var att finna strategier för elever med NPF (neuropsykiatriska funktionshinder) så att även dessa barn skulle kunna integreras och få möjligheten att fullfölja årskursen i en ”vanlig” skola. Då NPF-teamet till våren 2012 skulle fortsätta i annan form blev det viktigt att göra en utvärdering av detta projekt. Syftet med denna utvärdering var att belysa projektets

The tradeoff between risk and return is a topic that most investors consider carefully before an investment decision is made. Markowitz’s pioneer work on portfolio selection using the mean-variance framework has entailed a great extent of research in this field. One research is the Sharpe ratio, which is a measure of a financial performance using variance as a risk measure. The shortcoming of vari

By juxtaposing 15 diverse films in which a slacker helps the protagonist, observations of similarities and explications concludes this investigation to four categories con
The thesis investigates the Danish approach to sexual rights in development through the national development agency’s (DANIDA) strategy for sexual and reproductive rights (SRHR) and a small side project sponsored by Danida on LGBT rights in the global south. In doing so, the thesis utilizes post-colonial and post-structural perspectives of among others Chantal Mouffe and Homi K. Bhabha to investig

Due to the input of chemicals in building materials, the materials constitute a risk and can damage human health and the environment. A non-toxic environment is one of three prioritized areas in the environmental work in Norrköping municipality. The overall ambition is to reduce us
In Sweden 16 national goals have been elaborated to aim for an environmentally sustainable society. These goals should not only be implemented at a national level but also at the regional and community level. In Lund 13 documents have been developed, for 13 of the 16 national goals describing the environmental state in Lund associated to the goal in question. These documents will lead to local env
The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) is a tool for measuring the wellbeing of an economy. The question of how to include the use of renewable energy sources is important when estimating the GPI for an economy highly dependent on renewable energy like Iceland. An analysis of GPI estimations showed that the use of renewable energy sources is reflected by the subtraction of the use of non-renewable o
