Drones offer a low cost and a low risk solution which has grown very popular within military circles. This paper focu
While various studies have been conducted on the innovative potential suffix of Japanese vowel verbs, commonly known as ranuki kotoba (lit. ra-omission words), few studies exist on the use of the innovative form based on situational context and style of speech. The main purpose of my thesis is to provide an up-to-date quantitative analysis on the situation-based use of ranuki kotoba (referred to a

A constructive analysis approach inspired by Swedish political scientists Bo Rothstein, Lennart Lundquist and Björn Badersten is employed analyze the economics blockbuster Capital in the Twenty-First Century by French economist Thomas Piketty. Empirical, normative and constructive theories
Luke 1:28-38 is read in Church of Sweden every year during “Feast of the Annunciation”. During the sermons focus often lies on Mary as a role model for the people. A role model because Mary chose to accept the mission from God to carry Jesus in her womb. The question the essay answers is; Did Mary have a choice, could she say no to the angel Gabriel when he told her she would get pregnant and carr
Voluntary Sector Organisation Public Partnerships (IOP) are a new collaboration form for voluntary and public organisations aiming to give financial support to a welfare service provided by the voluntary actor. The aim of this study is to examine to what extent a voluntary organisation can be independent in order to be able to advocate as an IOP-participant. The object of study is the Red Cross an
The aim of this thesis is to study the flammability and fire spread for textile membranes for weather protection. This thesis includes literature studies to determine current standards and recommendations available. Main focus however have been on the European classification system EN 13501-1 and construction site safety. Two types of experimental tests have been done, cone calorimeter test and te
This thesis examines four Israeli elections between 2015 and 2020 with the purpose of describing how populist rhetoric has been manifested within right-wing political discourse during this period. Two separate theoretical frameworks are utilized for the analysis, based on theories by Cas Mudde, Jordan Kyle and Kurt Weyland, conceptualizing populism both as an ideology and as a political strategy.
The aim with this bachelor thesis is to analyse the debate regarding Adam of Bremens depiction of the famous Uppsala-temple within contemporary archaeological research, with the purpose to determine how the scholars have approached the question about the credibility and truth of the depiction. The purpose does also include examining the main viewpoints and their arguments within this debate. The q
More and more people are moving to cities all over the world, to look for better educational or employment opportunities as well as take advantage of social benefits and technological network by the cities. Rapidly increasing urbanisation and climate change are creating new challenges for cities to undertake, which is where many cities turn to implementing the smart city concept. The purpose of th
Barnkonventionens assimilering in svensk lagstiftning är en komplicerad sak. Det finns manga metoder som går att använda när det kommer till assimilering av barnkonventionen. Alla dessa metoder tar tid att genomföra. Båda länderna har valt att arbeta på liknande sätt med barnkonventionen. Detta beror sannolikt på att Sverige och Norge har liknande konstitutionella system. Gällande förhör med barn The assimilation of the UNCRC into national legislation is a complicated matter. In both Sweden and Norway, there are several methods to use, all of which takes time to implement. Both countries have chosen to work similarly with the UNCRC. This is primarily due to the fact that both countries have similar constitutional systems. When it comes to interrogations with children, both countries have y
Det nya traktatet Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), eller Traktatet om förbud mot kärnvapen, trädde i kraft den 22 januari 2021, och således har ett nytt regelverk trätt in på internationella arenan. Med hänsyn till både konsekvenser för miljön och humanitära konsekvenser syftar det nya traktatet till att totalt eliminera kärnvapen. För att uppnå sina höga ambitioner innehåller As the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) entered into force on 22 January 2021, a new legal instrument regulating nuclear weapons entered the international arena. With considerations of the humanitarian and environmental consequences of the use of nuclear weapons, the new Treaty aims for the total elimination of nuclear weapons. In order to accomplish its high ambitions, the Trea
A nonionic lamellar phase was prepared using C10E3 in buffer solution at pH = 7.6. A suitable T4DNA concentration around 5 wt % was immobilized in a lamellar phase with 40 wt % C10E3. The mixed system was investigated at two temperatures, 25 and 5 degrees C by using cryo-fracture TEM direct imaging, fluorescence microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering. The surprising results where obtained sho
Pavements are constructed using several layers of materials, and their durability depends mainly on the stiffness modulus and thickness of these strata. Surface wave testing is an effective tool to measure the stiffness and thickness of pavement layers. However, measurements are still based on spot testing with fixed receivers and source. The typical large size of pavements and the cost of closing
On the basis of a panel study in rural Tamil Nadu, some analytical and comparative studies across India, and the ARIS-REDS survey, I discuss the changing scenario of rural change, the growth of non-farm activities and income, and State interventions until the first decade of the twenty-first century. The overall conclusion is that there are strong evidences of a slow but stable growth of income wi
The dissociation of DNA-cationic surfactant complexes with the addition of a negative amphiphile was studied by fluorescence microscopy (FM). The unfolding of DNA molecules previously compacted with cationic surfactant was shown to be dependent on the anionic surfactant chain length; lower amounts of a longer-chain surfactant were needed to release DNA into solution. However, we observed no depend
Glycoprotein B (gB) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the dominating protein in the envelope of this virus and gives rise to virus-neutralizing antibodies in most infected individuals. We have previously isolated a neutralizing human antibody specific for antigenic domain 2 (AD-2) on gB, a poorly immunogenic epitope, which nevertheless is capable of eliciting potent neutralizing antibodies. In or
The aim of this study was to assess persistent organochlorine pollutant (POP) levels in serum collected from children (11-15 years old) working and sometimes also living at the municipal waste-disposal site in Managua, located at the shore of Lake Managua, and in nonworking children living both nearby and also far away from the waste-disposal site. The influence of fish consumption was further eva
