The international trade in coffee is widely acknowledged to perpetuate unequal structures between producing and consuming countries. While coffee is largely grown in and provides a large proportion of income for developing countries, most of the value-added activities are performed in developed countries. This paradox is exemplified in the case of Uganda where coffee is exported almost exclusively

The building industry is continuously adapting to the changing needs and demands. The rise in emissions, depletion of resources and accumulating waste are some of the important problems that have to be addressed by architects all over the world today. In this context, the thesis addresses these problems through informed building material choices and exploring the potential of circular use of resou

Sverige, ett av de minst korrupta länderna i världen, har fått återkommande internationell kritik gällande ineffektivitet i svensk mutlagstiftning när det kommer till straffrättsliga sanktioner mot företag som begått mutbrott. Detta på grund av bristen på rättspraxis där företag gjort sig skyldiga till vårdslös finansiering av mutbrott. Kritiken har bland annat kommit från EU-kommissionen då SveriSweden, as one of the least corrupt countries in the world, has been subject to recurrent critique regarding inefficiency in its bribery legislation, especially regarding sanctions against corporates. The reason behind this is due to the lack of case-law when it comes to companies being directly or indirectly responsible for bribery. The European Commission have criticised Sweden due to the fact t

Betong är ett byggnadsmaterial som har funnits och använts i tusentals år, dock i olika former och av olika slag. Idag är betong ett av de mest använda byggnadsmaterialen, inte minst som stommaterial vid uppförande av flerbostadshus och i konstruktioner belägna i hårt utsatta miljöer. Betong består i grunden av cement, ballast och vatten som beroende på sammansättning bildar betong med olika egenConcrete is a building material that has been used for centuries, in different variants and contexts. Today concrete is one of the most used construction materials, mainly as a load- bearing material in buildings such as multi-story buildings and other constructions, as well as constructions in harsh environments. Concrete consists of cement, ballast and water which, depending on the composition,

The main goal was to improve the longitudinal flying qualities by investigation of low stick forces and pitch-sensitivity of the ultralight aircraft, BW600-RG and to provide design suggestions for improvement. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to estimate stability derivatives and coefficients for calculation of the flying qualities derivate stick force gradient. Flight testing was condu

Läkemedelsmarknaden är uppbyggd runt företag, så kallade originalföretag, som utvecklar nya läkemedel och patenterar dessa. Patent är viktigt eftersom det ger originalföretagen en tidsbegränsad monopolistisk marknadsställning. De har därigenom möjlighet att genom stora marknadsvinster få tillbaka investeringarna som gjorts för att ta fram nya läkemedel. Patent ger också incitament till fortsatt foThe pharmaceutical market is based on companies, called originators, who develop new drugs and patent them. Patents are important since they allow the originators a time-limited monopolistic market position. The originators then have the opportunity to enjoy significant market profits to cover the costs for the development of a new drug. Patents are also an incentive for continued research and dev

Some theological schools consider the human conscience to be subordinate as a means to revelation of God’s nature compared to the biblical text. This can lead the reader of these texts to do violence to their own conscience by conforming it to the perceived biblical witness, although the two (the reader’s conscience and the biblical witness) can appear as in stark contrast to one another. A cognit

This paper examines the relationship between population growth and economic growth in the European Union during 1962-2017. By combining earlier research and economic growth theory a combined model is presented, which attempts to capture both positive and negative outcomes of population growth on economic growth. The aim of the study is to contribute to earlier research by focusing on the general e

Skalning och modellering av en kromatografikolonn för rening av sockerlösningar. För att uppnå klimatmålen behöver fossila råvaror inom kemiindustrin bytas ut mot förnybara råvaror. Socker är en råvara med stor potential inom industrin, men är ofta förorenat med salter. Därför utforskas rening av sockerlösningar här. För att använda socker som förnybar råvara för kemiindustri behöver sockret oftaTo utilize sugars as a feedstock for renewable industries, the feedstock often needs to be very pure. This is due to ionic species contaminating the sugar feedstock being potent catalyst poisons in many cases. To remove ionic species from the sugar feedstock, it is dissolved and purified using packed ion-exchange columns. In this report, a lab-scale setup of a large scale ion-exchange setup was co

The overall aim of the study is to create a greater understanding of how individuals belonging to second-generation immigrants feel that their identity is shaped by living in different cultures at the same time. The purpose includes to understand these individuals' experiences of belonging and sense of identity. Furthermore, the purpose is to create a greater understanding of how their experie

Vi lever idag i en unik världsomfattande situation till följd av den snabba och utbredda spridningen av coronaviruset covid-19.

It is done by examining Facebook-posts from two groups, Litteratur

Ett sätt för företag att legitimera sitt informationssäkerhetsarbete är genom att upprätta ett ledningssystem för informationssäkerhet, även kallat LIS. Genom ett LIS kan ett tydligt värde uppvisas mot kunder och andra intressenter. Ett införande av ett LIS kan däremot påverkas av olika typer av faktorer, exempelvis säkerhetsmedvetenhet, ledningen, kostnad och policys och regelverk. Faktorerna kan

In the light of migration’s popularity as a subject of public and academic interest, this thesis aspires to explore the ways in which contemporary articulation of migration in two politically contrasting settings occurs. Comparative approach not only allows to obtain a more holistic perspective on migration perceived through the prism of regularity but also to identify similarities across the case

The purpose of this paper was to contribute to an increased knowledge of the punitive attitudes of Swedish 18-30 year olds, and more specifically which potential factors could possibly explain why people have the different levels of punitive attitude that they do as, well as how these factors impact people’s level of punitive attitude. The variables that were chosen to be explored further were pol

This bachelor thesis aims to apply an actor oriented social networking theory to analyse a letter collection written by Olga Johnsson, a young Swedish female immigrant to the USA between 1895 and 1900. Its main question is what her social network looked like, what was exchanged within it, and the content and meaning of her social relationships. This approach to "letters from America" has
