Mesozoikum anses ha utgjort en ”växthusperiod” i Jordens historia med avsevärt höga koldiox-idhalter i atmosfären samt förhöjda temperaturer, men det återstår många frågor att besvara angående klimatut-vecklingen för hela detta intervall. Tidig jura karaktäriseras till exempel av ett varmt klimat, och föregås och efter-följs av två kortare perioder med väldigt höga CO2 halter, som sammanfaller medThe Mesozoic was a so-called “hothouse” time period in Earth’s history, with high concentrations of atmospheric CO2 and elevated temperatures, but the exact climate evolution is not fully known for the entire inter-val. The Early Jurassic for instance is believed to have been a warm period, flanked by two episodes of extremely high CO2, coinciding with environmental degradation and mass extinction

This thesis applies a methodology based on the Novy (2013) ratio of trade barriers to identify variations in barriers to cross-provincial trade in the People’s Republic of China, econometrically tests for determinants of such variations, and together with the results of a field study determines the state of the current trade environment.

Polymer based nanometer to micrometer size fibers and tubes are the bases for a wide range of industrial and medical applications and various research branches. They are capable of guiding light, carrying electricity and liquid or exchanging heat. Two production systems were established and built. These systems enable us to produce a wide range of tiny tubes & fibers. Light, nano-micro tubes &

Popular science summary Identifying an African Paradise Flycatcher using molecular techniques Five species of Paradise Flycatchers (Terpsiphone) occur in mainland Africa. Colour polymorphism and hybridization in these birds make species identification and defining species boundaries challenging. A melanistic individual was captured in Gashaka-Gumti National Park in Nigeria, and could not be iden

The purpose of this paper is to determine to what degree there are textual and conceptual similarities between the British National Party’s (BNP) and UK Independence Party’s (UKIP) construction of in-groups and out-groups.

Problem: The case study company, BorgWarner, currently has no quantitative method for evaluating the risks connected to different inventory levels throughout their internal supply chain. Meanwhile there are internal goals for lowering the amount of capital tied in inventory. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how changes in the component and finished goods inventory levels affec

This is a report that covers the process and result of designing a two wheeled cargo bicycle in co-operation with the American bicycle manufacturer Specialized Bicycle Components. With cargo bicycles gaining more popularity I wanted to address common issues current users had with them. Through qualitative research in the Malmö & Copenhagen area, I identified issues with flexibility and size. T

This project started with a wide research of the life-cycle of clothes. The industry is problematic and unsustainable. To find a way to tackle the problem the life-cycle was divided into categories and brainstorming was done within these. The chosen category was the using of bought clothes. The aim was to prolong the life-cycle of the garments and engage the consumer in care and quality. The resul

The debate about the link between economic growth and foreign trade is still open amongst scholars. There exist four main hypotheses regarding the relation between imports, exports and economic growth. The first one states that growth can come only through increasing the volume of exports of the country, i.e. export – led – growth hypothesis. The second one (growth – led – exports hypothesis)
