In the stitches of our clothes one can often find traces of child labour. The garment industry in Bangladesh is the country’s largest export sector. It is also a sector where sever human rights violations take place on a daily basis in relation to child labour. Accidents in textile factories in the country causing numerous deaths relatively recently brought the situation of working conditions to t
The viscosity of concentrated casein solutions play a vital part in the product quality of medical nutrition as well as for the energy consumption in spray drying. Previous work has shown that a lower viscosity can be achieved through processing (Hemar et al. 2011). This project focused on the effect on temperatures on micellar casein isolate (MCI). A temperature range of 5-90 °C has been studied
Abstract: This paper tried to investigate the internet, in particular mobile internet and mobile application economy in China through theories like catching up, disruptive technologies and leapfrogging concept. The unique development of mobile internet and mobile application economy in China facilitate the motivation to investigate the fundamental characteristics and stories behind mobile app mark
This essay estimates the trends in Income-Related Health Inequalities (IRHI) in 11 European countries between 2006 to 2013 and investigates the sensitivity of these trends with respect to different inequality measures. The motivation for this study is both empirically and theoretically driven. Empirically, there have been many studies aiming to quantify and explain IRHI but relatively few have inv
Med direktiv 2008/52 EG avser kommissionen främja uppgörelser om tvister i godo, särskilt genom medling. Direktivet kräver att medlemsstaterna ger domstolarna befogenhet att föreslå parterna i målet att denna metod används, dock utan att tvinga dem att använda den. I Sverige har detta direktiv implementerats genom Lag (2011:860) om medling i vissa privaträttsliga tvister. Uppsatsen ger en förklaThrough Directive 2008/52/EC the European Union intends to encourage amicable dispute resolution, particularly through the use of mediation The Directive requires the Member States to authorise the courts to suggest the use of this method to the litigants, without, however, compelling them to use it. In Sweden, this directive was implemented through Lag (2011:860) om medling i vissa privaträttslig
Research on financial crises is important and especially relevant nowadays when the economy is slowing down globally. The crisis 2007-8 and the Great Depression of the 20th century are the longest and most severe financial calamities ever experienced and they share some eerie similarities with the Panic of 1857 – they all originate in the US but have international implications because they take pl
Den termiska klimatupplevelsen påverkas mest av lufttemperaturen som är enkel att mäta med en vanlig termometer, men för att ta reda på hur temperaturen i ett rum upplevs räcker det inte med att enbart undersöka lufttemperaturen. Även om lufttemperaturen ligger på en komfortabel nivå så kan en kall yta i närheten få personen att känna att det är kyligt i rummet och på motsvarande sätt kan varma ytThe thermal climate experience is most affected by air temperature that is easy to measure with a standard thermometer, but to find out how the temperature in a room is felt it is not enough to merely examine the air temperature. Even if the air temperature is at a comforta-ble level, then a cold surface near get the person to feel that it is chilly in the room and cor-respondingly the hot surface
Hydrauliska parametrar är viktiga att kunna mäta i samband med stadsplanering, prospektering och för att få fram information om hur en möjlig föroreningstransport genom jordlager och berggrund skulle kunna ske. Slugtest är ett enkelt akvifertest som tar fram värden på formationens genomsläpplighet och har flera fördelar jämfört med andra akvifertester. I denna studie berörs grundvattenrör med liteHydraulic analysis plays a crucial role in urban planning, prospecting and environmetal assess-ments. Slug test is an aquifer test often used by hydrogeologist and engineers to determine the hydraulic conduct-ivity. In this bachelor thesis I discuss aquifers with small diameter piezometers where some of the them are screened across the water table. The essay is conducted in cooperation with the su
After the breakup of the Soviet Union Estonian economy found itself cut off from its main markets and production links. One major barrier in the economic transformation and diversification process that followed was the lack of necessary tacit productive knowledge in the country. Furthermore, local firms had no or only weak links to the global production and knowledge networks that function as impo
The objective of this study is to analyse the possible relationship between competition and innovation using Statitics Sweden Community Innovation Survey 2012. The dependent variable innovation is measured in terms of expenditure on R&D and obtained numbers of patents. The independent variable competition is measured in terms of a Herfindahl-Hirschman index and two Lerner-index, one at industr
The European Union Emissions Trade System (EU ETS) is the central climate political tool for reduction of carbon dioxide emissions within the union, and is still the largest emissions trading system in the world ten years after the launch in 2005. One of the industry branches included in the system is the mineral branch: the production of cement, lime, glass, ceramics and mineral wool. These indus
Ryssland är världens näst största mottagarland för invandring och den ryska allmänheten oroas över inflödet av legal och illegal arbetskraft från främst de postsovjetiska länderna. Denna sociolingvistiska studie undersöker fyra uttryck som antas användas för att rubricera arbetsmigranter; gastarbajter, trudovoj migrant, uzbek och tjurka. Rubriceringar av arbetsmigranter antas bära denotativa och k
In this master´s thesis I seek to explore the concept of restorative justice, an ideological approach to justice which aims to repair the harm caused by crime through means of communication, cooperation, participation and restoration. By involving all parties affected by crime, restorative justice seeks to address crime through empowering victims, increasing community cohesion and making offenders
The minority of Greenland Inuit in Denmark has long been object of prejudice concerning alcohol abuse and general low social standards. Due to the colonial history between Greenland and Denmark and the subsequent decades as an actual part of the Danish kingdom, much of this is caused by Danish structural adjustments. Even though the general level of drinking among the population of Greenland has d
The occurrence of deformations on the surface of adhesively-bonded automotive body panels in proximity to the application of the polymer adhesive is called bond-line read-through (BLRT) and occurs due to process-induced differential thermal strains between the adhesive layer and metal substrate. This type of deformation is a major problem in the automotive industry and one Volvo Car Corporation, w
There are many applications of microprocessors in embedded applications, where power efficiency becomes a critical requirement, e.g. wearable or mobile devices in healthcare, space instrumentation and handheld devices. One of the methods of achieving low power operation is by simplifying the device architecture. RISC/CISC processors consume considerable power because of their complexity, which is
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka Martin Luthers gudsrelation under tidsperioden 1483 till 1517 och den eventuella utveckling som skedde i hans gudsrelation. Det görs med hjälp av psykohistoria som ett övergripande kritiskt instrument både av de biografiska källorna och uppsatsen i sig. Luthers gudsrelation kommer att undersökas med hjälp av Pehr Granqvists syn på anknytningsteorin som teo
The study of the naturalization decision process have gained more attention in the field of economics and migration in recent years. This primarily relates to examining whether certain contextual and structural socioeconomic characteristics can explain the probability for immigrants of becoming citizens in their new country. However, there have been little research on this decision process in an h
Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka hur kärlek, äktenskap och romantiska relationer beskrivs i ett axplock av populärmedia, specifikt skönlitteratur eller s.k. kiosklitteratur. Min avsikt har varit att utifrån beskrivningarna kunna säga något om hur texterna beskriver parrelationer, genus och vilka maktperspektiv som utmärker de valda texterna. Delfrågor som tas upp: - Vilken syn på kärl
