Feministisk utrikespolitik har sedan 2015, då utrikesminister Margot Wallström deklarerar denna inriktning, varit ett diskussionsämne inom den svenska utrikes-politiken. Uppsatsens analys genomförs med målet att åskådliggöra skillnader i hur regeringarna framställer kvinnor, hur de inkluderas och vilka rättigheter de har i de utrikespolitiska debatterna 2008 och 2015. Syftet med undersökningen är The Swedish feministic foreign politics has been a subject of political discussion since 2015 when the foreign minister, Margot Wallström, declared this new di-rection of the Swedish government. The thesis analysis is carried out with the aim of illustrating differences in how governments portray women, how they are included and what rights they have in the foreign policy debates in 2008 and 2015.

This study saw the development of an experimental setup capable of generating and measuring optical-field-induced currents in a variety of nanodevices fabricated specifically for this project. Each device design features two metallic contacts, closely separated by about 5 micrometers, deposited onto a semiconductor or insulator substrate. The region between these two contacts is a junction, being Laser Activated Electronics Transistors are often considered the most revolutionary electrical devices of this century, attributed as the building block of all modern technology. It is these tiny devices that control the flow of electrons in all your electronics. In your computer alone, there are hundreds of millions of these transistors, all working together in a complex circuit. Previously, impr

For this 15 credits bachelor project in industrial design I focused on menstruation, a biological function that occurs to half of the population. I explored the disposable and reusable period care products on the mar- ket today and how many products an average menstruating person will consume and their environmental impact. This led me to the idea of de- signing an internal reusable period care pr

Bakgrund: Personer med allvarlig psykisk sjukdom riskerar minskat engagemang i dagliga aktiviteter, främst gällande förluster av mängden individuellt meningsfulla aktiviteter. Samtidigt har arbetsterapeutiska interventioner som möjliggör engagemang i meningsfulla aktiviteter visat sig vara stödjande för personernas personliga återhämtning. Det finns dock bristande kunskap gällande vilken betydelse

Problem definition Nowadays society is very concerned with sustainability. Companies try their best to meet sustainability customers’ expectations and regulations. The adoption of Lean and Six Sigma could bring sustainability improvements, but it is not clear how these three areas are combined and how they are currently addressed by companies. Purpose Explore the relationship between Lean, Six Sig

Uttrycket “övervakningssamhälle” är något som det talas om mer och mer. Vilket inte är så konstigt då många allmänna platser ofta är övervakade med antingen film eller ljudupptagning. Att kunna identifiera individer som på något sätt har brutit mot lagen eller förutse oönskade situationer är något som stärker vår säkerhet och ordningen i samhället. I många länder ses detta som helt nödvändigt och This report describes the product development process of a new product series of camera housings, adapted for modular applications. The purpose of the project was to develop a module containing a wiper, adapted for outdoor camera housings. The master thesis was performed at Axis Communications AB, a leading company in the surveillance camera industry. The camera housings of outdoor surveillance ca

När byggnader och broar ska dimensioneras är det viktigt att knutpunkterna för konstruktionen är noggrant beräknade. För att utföra beräkningar som tar hänsyn till knäckning och andra fenomen används ofta datorberäkningar i viss utsträckning. Det tar ofta oerhört lång tid, både för användaren att skapa en modell för konstruktionen i den grad av detalj som behövs, samt för datorprogrammet att beräkWhen designing large complex steel structures numerical calculation methods are always used to some extent. The simulation technology of today is advanced and can with proper modeling technique provide detailed analyses which captures the structural response accurately. For most projects it is not reasonable to analyze a complete structure in exact detail and therefore simplified methods are used

Inventory control is a subject that impacts more or less every section of most businesses, hence companies today view it as a crucial problem of strategic importance (Axsäter, 2015). Managing inventory is a complex task which can be made even more complex by considering multiple items interacting with each other throughout the supply network. This master thesis attempts to show, through a case stu

In wireless communication, resources like bandwidth and energy are scarce and extremely valuable, any system should serve as many users as possible while preserving high Quality of Service (QoS) for the best user experience. Accordingly, the Base Station (BS) has the responsibility to optimally schedule its resources to the users based on the available information. Consequently, the whole process

This project investigates what human interaction is and how we collaborate within the confines of finite resources. The project ex- amines what could be done to minimise the need of ownership and instead reconnect the human to the collective by encourag- ing sharing. The method used to achieve this will be an in-depth design process. The investigation is conducted from the stand point of a Swe

Studiens syfte är att få fram hur FN ser på sexuella övergrepp som utförs av deras egen personal. Jag har utfört en diskursanalys utifrån frågeställningarna om det pågår ett förebyggande arbete inom FN för att stoppa sexuella övergrepp och hur FN talar om övergreppen och förövarna. Teorin jag använder mig av är R. W. Connells teori om maskulinitet som utgår från tre relationstyper och fyra maskuli

Probiotics are living microorganisms which could induce a potential health benefit to the host when consumed in adequate amounts. Among the different probiotics in the market, Lactobacillus reuteri strain DSM 17938 is a microaerophilic and heterofermentative organism that is able to tolerate high oxygen conditions compared with another L. reuteri and lactic acid bacteria strains. This study invest

This article shows how participation on national, regional and local levels is regulated in the infrastructure of the third generation of mobile telephony, 3G, in Sweden. This regulated participation, the “law in books”, is compared to participation in practice, the “law in action” perspective in the sense of the outcome and functionality of these regulations. This includes the identification of i

This brief article investigates the restrictions on Mainland Scandinavian relative clause extraction that have figured in the literature on island constraints. The conclusion is that none of these restrictions can be regarded as constraints on relative clause extraction per se and therefore that the peripheral status standardly assigned to Mainland Scandinavian relative clause extraction cannot be

Background: Electroencephalography (EEG) is widely used to assess neurological prognosis in patients who are comatose after cardiac arrest, but its value is limited by varying definitions of pathological patterns and by inter-rater variability. The American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) has recently proposed a standardized EEG-terminology for critical care to address these limitations. I

We study a model of the atrioventricular node function during atrial fibrillation (AF), for which the model parameters can be estimated from the ECG. The proposed model is defined by parameters which characterize the arrival rate of atrial impulses, the probability of an impulse choosing either one of the two atrioventricular nodal pathways, the refractory periods of these pathways, and the prolon

AIM: To test how the quality of the outdoor environment of child day care centers (DCCs) influences children's health. METHODS: The environment was assessed using the Outdoor Play Environmental Categories (OPEC) tool; time spent outdoors, and physical activity as measured by pedometer. 172/253 (68%) of children aged 3.0-5.9 from nine DCCs participated in Southern Sweden. Health data collected were
