Problem Definition: For several hundreds of years, mining in Bolivia has been an important part of the economy. The mining activity has a negative effect on both the environment and the health of the people. Previous studies conducted in the Lake Poopó area show elevated concentrations of heavy metals and ions harmful to people and nature. Also, previous studies indicate that the contamination fro
Ever since archeologists opened the resting place of Pharao Akhenaton (14th century B.C.) at Tel el-Amarna in the late nineteenth century there has been discussions on whether “The Great Hymn to Aten” – which was discovered there – has in someway influenced Psalm 104 in the Psalter of the Old Testament.

Inside the human body, cells produce long sugar chains called glycosaminoglycans, or named shortly as GAGs, these sugars play an important role in our body since they are involved in important biological processes such as blood coagulation, being components in our cartilage, and the new development of tissues. Changes in these sugars is associated with several diseases such as in some kinds of can
As the amount of wind power in electricity production increases it becomes more important that they are able to provide ancillary services to support power system stability. This thesis investigates how a generic wind power plant can provide reactive power for voltage support. To represent a generic wind power plant, the Western Electricity Coordinating Council’s generic Renewable Energy System mo
Utvecklingen inom den kommunala sektorn har under de senaste sextio åren gått från lekmannaförvaltningar till stora förvaltningsorganisationer. Antalet primärkommuner har minskat från 2500 till 290 och antalet förtroendevalda med kommunala uppdrag har minskat till en femtedel under samma period. Förändringarna har inneburit en ökad byråkrati och professionalisering av de kommunala förvaltningsmyndThe development within the municipal sector over the past sixty years has shifted from layman organizations to large administrative organizations. The number of primary municipalities has decreased from 2500 to 290, and the number of elected representatives with municipal trust assignment has decreased to one fifth during the same period. These changes have led to increased bureaucracy and profess

This thesis explores the application of Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the social production of space to the analysis of Malmö University more specifically Orkanen, the name of one of the two main buildings of the university. With a particular focus on how conceived, perceived, and lived spaces interact within the university’s neoliberal context. Through a combination of Schwarze’s operationalization
Persons with disabilities are often not considered in larger-scope studies on domestic violence. Domestic violence services, such as crisis shelters or support groups, do often not offer flexibility and accessibility in their services. This can have vast consequences for persons with a disability exposed to domestic violence, and it can prove difficult to leave a violent relationship. The followin
To properly understand regions of space behind interstellar dust, like the Galactic bulge, infrared (IR) observations are needed, as it passes through the dust with minimal absorption. In the past few decades, the development of IR telescopes has allowed for a much deeper understanding of our Galaxy’s stellar populations and history. To properly use the data which these IR telescopes produce howev
Vadhållningsrelaterad fotbollsmatchfixning innebär att en eller flera idrottsliga aktörer, på eget eller annans initiativ, manipulerar en fotbollsmatch (t.ex. genom avsiktliga misstag) i enlighet med en specifik vadhållning. Möjligheten att tjäna stora pengar med en relativt liten upptäcktsrisk gör matchfixning till en lockande aktivitet för såväl enskilda individer som kriminella nätverk. Det finSports betting related football match-fixing involves one or more participants manipulating the course or ultimate result of a football match in accordance with a specific bet. The possibility of high returns from low risk makes match-fixing an appealing proposition for both individuals and criminal organisations. At the moment, there is no provision in Sweden which specifically addresses this phe
Den svenska modebranschen har expanderat de senaste åren och intresset för svenskt mode är stort likväl internationellt som nationellt. I svensk rätt skyddas modeprodukter av upphovsrätten samt mönsterrätten och det finns således i viss mån ett överlappande skydd. Upphovsrätt uppkommer formlöst och mönsterskydd uppkommer genom registrering eller formlöst enligt förordningen. För att erhålla upphovThe Swedish fashion industry has expanded the past years and there is a great interest in Swedish fashion, as well internationally as nationally. According to Swedish law fashion products are protected by Copyright and design protection. Therefore there is an overlapping protection. Copyright arises formless and design protection arises by registration or formless through an EU-regulation. To obta
I takt med att det svenska samhället blir mer pluralistisk och mångkulturellt uppstår allt fler situationer där olika sedvänjor och beteenden krockar. Att inte ta en person av motsatt kön i hand på grund av religiös övertygelse är ett sådant exempel, då denna manifestation kan ställas mot det skyddade intresset att inte bli diskriminerad på grund av kön. Staten har ett ansvar att skydda bägge intrThe Swedish society is becoming more pluralistic and multicultural which causes conflicts between different traditional and cultural behaviourists. Not shaking hands with a person of the opposite gender because of a religious belief is an example of a situation where freedom of religion can be put against the right not to be discriminated on grounds of gender. The state has a responsibility to pro
Inom EU finns det uppskattningsvis mellan 5000 till 8000 olika sällsynta diagnoser som drabbar mellan sex till åtta procent av EU:s medborgare någon gång under deras livstid. Under 1990-talet fick EU upp ögonen för problematiken med bristen på läkemedelsframställning för sällsynta diagnoser inom Unionen. År 1999 inrättades förordning (EG) nr 141/2000 om särläkemedel med syftet att öka utvecklingenWithin the European Union there is approximately between 5000 to 8000 different rare diseases that affect five to eight percent of the EU population sometime during their lifetime. During the 1990’s the awareness of the problem with lack of medicine production for unusual diseases increased. In 1999 the regulation (EG) no 141/2000 of Oprhan drugs was created with the purpose of increasing the prod

Ever since the EU’s sanctions against Russia were imposed in 2014, the bloc has managed to keep a united stance outwards. Under the surface, the measures have however generated sharp divisions among some of the Member States, where one faction wants to scrap the sanctions, while another faction wants to see them expanded. Divisions of this proportion are unprecedented in the EU’s sanctions history
