Fuel level indication is an essential function in a car with the purpose of providing information about the fuel level to the driver at all times. In this thesis, different parameters are tested and evaluated to find the factors that can have an effect on fuel level indication. Tank volume, driving behaviour and fuel sloshing are evaluated as possible parameters. The results presented herein sugge
Intellectual Property Rights’ systems have not yet been admitted as policy instruments favouring economic performance of developing countries, and Intellectual Property itself has not been recognised as an economic asset as yet. While there is strong argument that robust IPR system fosters economic growth and development, suspicions of this argument still hold up in the national and international
After integrating also general schooling into the DQR in August 2017, the next pending debate is about the integration of non-formal qualifications into the DQR. Despite a consensus of involved actors to integrate non-formal qualifications into the DQR, the process stalled for a long time. This thesis gives an insight on the development of the DQR discourse surrounding non-formal qualification, by
Since the CJEU’s creation, it has been significant to solidify and review European Law. However, rather than merely being the dispute arbiter of the European Union, it is also seen to be a driver for political change and integration. The involvement of the CJEU in political matters has often been associated with judicial activism. An area especially prone to this phenomenon has been fundamental ri
Den colombianska konflikten har resulterat i att miljontals colombianer har tvingats överge sina hem. Syftet med den här studien har varit att undersöka och analysera hur väl UNHCR:s policy beskriver situationen för asylsökande från den colombianska ursprungsbefolkningen och asylsökande afrocolombianer. Syftet har även varit att ta fram de mest lämpliga lösningarna för dessa asylsökande. Materiale
Since the installment of direct elections to the European Parliament, turnout has been falling. The implications of low, and ever falling, turnout are many. By holding second-order elections in the form of local elections on the same day as the election for the European Parliament, which also is a second-order election, turnout increases. This thesis estimates that turnout would increase by approx
Swedish police, fire fighters and ambulance staff have since 2012 increasingly been attacked and driven out from, or prevented from entering certain neighbourhoods typically characterized by limitations to basic democratic freedoms and rights, high crime rates and social unrest. In some cases, the police have answered with passivity to the attacks. This normative analysis hypothetically considers
There has been an ongoing debate in the study of diffusion in policy making processes. Acharya (2009) believes that economic crisis was one of the reasons why the phenomenon of diffusion of foreign norms succeeds in Asian countries. It is argued that those norms replacing or assimilated to local ones could increase national self-strengthening (Acharya 2009). Furthermore, he believes that there is
This thesis examines EU’s adoption of a human security approach and the extent to which it has been part of crisis management discourse as well as practice in the Sahel region of Africa. It tells the story of a maturing process for a core approach in EU security policy; that is, the story of human security and how the concept has evolved from a state of innocence to gradual experience and adolesc
I augusti 2016 skrev colombianska regeringen och FARC-gerillan under ett fredsavtal som skulle avsluta den längsta väpnade konflikten i modern historia. Det genomfördes samma år i oktober en folkomröstning i landet som skulle ratificera fredsavtalet. Inför folkomröstningen uppmärksammades polariseringen bland befolkningen rörande inställningen till det framarbetade avtalet. Huvudsakligen på grund
I denna uppsatts lyfter jag fram olika perspektiv på den personliga integriteten och avvägningar när det gäller samhällets bästa i samband med tvångsvaccination. När man närmare undersöker tvångsvaccinering ser man att det både finns ett flertal argument både för och emot det. Bland det viktigaste argumenten kan lyftas fram att vaccination skyddar människor och räddar liv och rätten tills en egn
I sökande för övergångsrättvisa kan folkgrupper som har blivit utsatta för grova övergrepp använda beteckningen folkmord. Tre stater som har valt denna angreppsätt är Estland, Lettland och Litauen. Fokus ligger på det sovjetiska våldet gentemot dessa länders etniska befolkning fr.o.m. år 1939, då Sovjet och Tyskland ingick icke-angreppspakten t.o.m. år 1993 när sista sovjetiska trupper lämnade Lit
The aim of the study is to critically review the Swedish government's views on Swedish research by examining a researsch policy through a discourse analysis based on Carol Bacchi's WPR method. The material consists of the Swedish government's research proposition "Kunskap i samverkan, för samhällets utmaningar och stärkt konkurrenskraft". The analysis focuses on identifying w
Den här uppsatsen syftar till att ta reda på hur media rapporterar kring terrorattentat beroende på om terroristen är muslim eller icke-muslim. Genom att använda sociologen Norbert Elias teori om Etablerade och outsiders har jag för avsikt att se huruvida media producerar och ökar skillnader mellan grupper genom sin rapportering. Två specifika attentat kommer att behandlas; terrorattentatet i Norg
The refugee crisis of 2015/2016, has not only challenged the political actors and the civil society of Germany, but also its businesses. Appealed by politicians, few German companies have started contributing to the integration of refugees into the labour market, mainly in form of donations, employee commitment and occupational preparation courses. This constitutes a new field of Corporate Social
Japan have for a long time tried to make the country more equal and the prime minister of Japan Shinzo Abe said year 2014 that “now it is the women’s time to shine in Japan”. Womenomics was created with gender equality goals to be reach until 2020 but so far, the equality changes in Japan has been slow. Japan rank low in the world when it comes to gender equality while other countries are catching
The Swedish Model is a somewhat vague concept that can mean many things, depending on who you ask. But usually it is characterized by the great deal of autonomy the labour market organizations enjoy. Traditionally, the unions and the employer associations in question are responsible for the functioning of the labour market (e.g. the wage formation), with none or very little involvement from the st
This thesis studies the occurence of deliberative democracy and policy professionals in the Swedish public debate. To analyse deliberative democracy, a framework based on theories by political scientists Amy Gutmann and Dennis Thompson is created. Correspondingly, a theoretical framework based on research by social anthropologist Christina Garsten, political scientist Bo Rothstein and sociologist
During the last decades, green parties have gone from small protest parties with an origin in the new social movements to governmental participants. Existing research has been done on how these changes have affected their internal organization, but none have been done on how it affects their policy. With a starting-point in Mogens N. Pedersen “party lifespan approach” this study aims to answer thi
Abstract There are several problems when studying, as this thesis, the interplay between the concepts of Europe and of nation, in an official discourse of a state. One is that these concepts are largely seen as being in a dichotomous position. This research argues about the importance of changing the perception about the various way the concepts can relate to each other. The study considers the re
